laundrymaton

i have to do laundry today. and i usually try to schedule certain garments to be worn certain days then recycle them until they can stand up on their own, then do a 3 day washathon at a friends place or at moms. but thats not happening this week. ive been biking too much and am therefore thoroughly soiled and have nowhere to go for a free wash. so its to the washeteria i go. there are a couple in town, and the one closest to me is in what most people would refer to as the "lagrange ghetto." but its not so bad, and its next to the piggly wiggly, the only grocery in town where you can get just about any cut of pork you desire...snout, tail, innards, ears, whatever. its all there. anyway, the last time i was there i befriended a bum who inbetween loads went into the alley to shoot up or take a piss or do something he wasnt supposed to be doing. he was the first white guy i'd ever seen in there. he actually said, "mmmaaannn, you know, youre the only white dude ive ever seeeeenn innn herrrreee, maannnn." and i replied, "yeah dude, youre the only honky ive seen in here, too. i know we arent the only two poor whiteys in town. where is everybody else going?" we had a good laugh and i shared a fudge round with him. so anyway, i dont know what the point of this post is other than to invite you along. we can do some laundry and hang out and listen to the ipod and get some little debbies from the piggly or do something we shouldnt be doing in the alley. sounds like a night you cant deny, doesnt it?
