I still hang out clothes...not underwear tho. 2 weeks worth takes up too much room and clothespins. In Maine, we hung clothes out winter and summer. One day, I was helping my mom and got the frozen clothes off the line. My father's longjohns were too long to fit in the basket so I folded them and broke off one of his legs. She almost had a heart attack till she found out it was his longjohns....Now, THAT she found hysterical.
