Really WARM today. Went to 73! Supposed to cool off tomorrow, though.
Roy dug out the blue wagon, and I trundled the dirty clothes to the laundromat, about two blocks from here. Very nice laundromat. The equipment is arranged modularly, so each customer has her own area, with four washers, four dryers, and a folding table. That really makes it nice. No bumping into other customers or fighting over carts. You don't need a cart, because everything's so close. The prices are reasonable, too: $1 to wash and 50 cents to dry. Almost everything got dry in one go-round. Just the jeans and heavy towels needed a little more drying. The arrangement for paying for the washers was one I'd never seen before. Instead of putting the quarters directly into the washer, you put them into a machine that issues a plastic ticket; then you put the ticket in the washer.
In the afternoon, I sanded the port toerail. Roy is still sanding the hull. He also rode his bike to a lumber yard and bought the lumber he needs. Got African mahogany at $5.50 a board-foot. They're going to deliver it for free.
Yesterday when I was walking, I noticed an IGA grocery store not far from here, so I went over there this evening. The store is larger and nicer on the inside than it looks from the outside, but their prices are at least 20 cents higher than at Food Lion. This store is a lot closer, so I'll go there when I'm in a hurry, but the rest of the time I'll continue going to Food Lion.
I've been learning a new programming technique. (New to me, that is.) It's called "event trapping". Had a hard time getting it to work on my computer, but I think I've finally got it figured out.
