Well, why wouldn't your clothes be worshed?(although I said washed others did not) You want to walk around in dirty clothes? And, going down cellar, you have to go there cause the Holiday decorations are on the shelves as well as the canned goods.... the basement was the underground floor of the hospital...where the boilers were or the underground floor of the elite Munger's Genung Retail Store.....and cawfee is the only thing that wakes me up in the morning...I live in Upstate NY now!!!
