it was a beautiful sunny day and i'm glad to say that now at 4 pm the sun is still up, and shining. it was super depressing driving home in the dark every night. i think i forgot to mention that all the laundromats are on strike. my usual mat is now closed at five. last load in by 3:30. and the reserve is just plain closed. i suppose i could drive to ellsworth to do my laundry. it's only 30 miles. i think stone face and i are going to have to have a weekend laundry date. i don't see how it inconveniences anyone to keep the laundromat open. there's no one there, as in no attendant. they only show up to close. bastards denying me cleanliness.
