| | It must have been a sight for the guy that locks the place up. Dude with a laptop standing motionless staring down at the screen.
He swung right in, hastily shut the window and then slid the far sliding glass door shut. He asked me if I had much more. I pointed to the sleeping bag still tumbling in the dryer and said "almost done." He in turn pointed to the sign on the wall which (in blunt and pointed black permanent marker) shouted "Last wash 8:00, Close at 9:00." I apologetically explained that I hadn't seen the sign before I started washing the sleeping bag. :I was rather distracted by the other person, a (homeless?) man who had been stooped down reading one of the magazines when I got there. He grabbed his bike and rode out soon after I arrived. That...and I was trying to figure out which machine to use.: The owner told me to shut the other sliding glass door once I was done. Just make sure it "goes over the bar." I thanked him as he made his way out. When I turned back to my work I noticed that Sprint had decided to download itself an updated version of the cell card software. So much for getting any work done.
So why was I washing a sleeping bag at a laundromat late at night? Apparently I was the last person to use the sleeping bag... in 1998. My sister needs the bag for her trip. She leaves with friend Megan for New York early on Wednesday morning. They plan to camp out during the trip (they're driving up with Megan's brother Tim.) If you're reading this, please pray for safety for Lissa and for her companions during the trip. They'll be staying with Megan's dad and step-mom once they get to New York.
