Why I want a Clothes Dryer

Reason #1-- On several occasions a moth has decided to attach itself to my clothes, and only when I begin folding them and putting them away inside my house, does the moth decide to reveal itself, and then fly in my face.

Reason #2--The sun is so strong, that even a few hours out for drying has faded the colors of my shirts, but only where the sun was shining. Problem is, now I have a nice line across the part of my chest I would prefer that men not stare at, and that line is screaming, "look at me!" So I've been wearing white shirts everyday, which don't fade in the sun, thankfully.

Reason #3--Sand travels even as far as the 13th floor, and so when I remove my clothes from the drying rack, I have to shake the sand off them. (Which I guess, doesn't scare moths).

Reason#4--While I was sitting and drinking my coffee yesterday morning (yes, I've gone back to it, joyfully), reflecting on God, peace in the Middle East, and arranged marriages (among other things), I watch an ugly bird fly onto my balcony. He sits on the ledge for awhile, then hops onto my clothes rack. Before I can jump up to shoo him away, you guessed it. He poops on my freshly washed jeans.

Reason #5--No more crunchy towels. Or blue jeans. Or anything.
