I use a whirly "clothesline." Only one of those rules applies to reality: hang clothes by the tail. Goes for pants, too.
We hang unmentionables indoors as did my grandmother. They're indoors because the sun eats them not because of any false modesty.
Weirdness: the sun eats jeans quickly but cotton t-shirts last forever.
The most important clothesline rule: Pay attention to the weather.
