My apartment complex has installed some new washing machines. It seems that these will be slightly more resistant to my usual efforts, so that’s a drawback. They are the front-loading type, though, which I think means more clothes per wash, and less detergent for same. However, they jacked up the price 25%; and, instead of the paltry buck-a-load, it’s now the harder to get buck-and-a-quarter.

I know, you’re crying for me on the inside.
