The old house that my wife Judy and I purchased ten years ago came with a clothesline. Its bent, rusty metal poles and drooping cords hurt by eyes so I made plans to tear it down. Judy stopped me. She was delighted to have a clothesline again. I didn’t quite understand why. We have a clothes dryer and it works perfectly well.
