Exactly one month ago today, on Friday, August the 23rd, after a lot of hemming and hawing, I finally decided to publish a Post about my visit to our local Anchorage Laundromat.

Does a Post here on Google blogspot have "feelings"? If I was to write at the beginning above.. "Delete This Post Before Reading" would its feelings be hurt?
Anyway a month ago I took our major bedding to our local Laundromat to be washed. Patti did not accompany me last month.
Under the below King Size comforter, are two sheets and a mattress cover along with a myriad of pillows with cases.
Today, Patti dropped me off and headed to the library to return some books and to check out some new ones. Patti returned to the Laundromat just as I was getting ready to put our washing into a dryer.

We had one, extra large, washer full of washing.
Will you just look at the below lady!
I just loved the gigantic Red Bag!
Lord Love A Duck! She got all of her washing into five washing machines.
Our machine is the closest one on the left. These are two of the four largest washing machines in the Laundromat.
After our washing was underway, I said to her as she was taking a short break, "Amazing! All of your laundry!"
She replied (I actually had presumed this) that she has a business where she picks up people's laundry at their home, washes it, folds it, and returns it. I did not ask her what she charges.
I watched. Each machine costs $7.50. The two large ones cost $8.50. So she had to put thirty (30) quarters each into four machines and thirty four (34) quarters into the one extra large machine.
It took her some time to deposit one hundred and fifty four (154) quarters!
I know! Some one of you are thinking, "Only our Captain would be interested in all of this!"
Some other photos of this very large, clean, and pleasant Laundromat.
We purchased an additional ten minutes so our drying cost $3.00.
My second visit and I am on a first name basis with the manager, Antonia, her son A.J. and his son Lui! Great people!!
A-HA!!! So ya'll are making a clean-sweep up in those Arctic climes, are ya! Da evidence is in the pics, 'fer sure! I'd surmise to say that one must have to wash-n-dry most articles of clothing and linen, lest all of the moss from constant rains start lil colonies where one would least expect! And, pray tell, does your fascination with feeding the machines exorbitant numbers of coins have any correlation to your weekly trip across Lake Havasu to the Chemehuevi casino to feed the slots? Naw! On 2nd thought, just perhaps? hahaha
ReplyDeleteHappy laundromating, my dear friends!
Love ya and missing you,
Michael and Little Bit
Smiling. Michael, I put $20, at one time, into the slot machines over at Havasu Landing Casino. I do not hand feed the slots. It just fascinated me watching the lady feeding the washing machines. So nice of you to read, then post a comment here on Google blogspot. We have friends who are not able to navigate the comments replies. Smiling.. Cap and Patti
DeleteI have to riff on what Michael said because it made me laugh. Isn't feeding that many quarters into a machine like playing the slots? With these, you are guaranteed a payoff of clean, dry clothes.
ReplyDeleteA giggle Kathleen! As I just pointed out to Michael, I don't feed the slot machines one at a time for each game. I put in $20 once. It's far more fun to ride the ferry boat across Lake Havasu with my pal Eddie, play Rocky my favorite slot machine, ride the ferry back home than it is to wash clothes! IF I stay with my plan, I do not ever lose the $20. Smiling .. Cap and Patti who doesn't often go to the Casino with Eddie and me. This way, Patti has every Monday afternoon to herself.
