Washing machines and other appliances

Of all my home appliances, the washing machine is probably the most important to me. If I did not have a stove, I could get by with a microwave and a toaster oven. No refrigerator would call for a lot of canned food with no leftovers—not pleasant, but do-able.

There is no substitute for clean clothes. I wash like the bachelor that I am with cold water and no color sorting.

Fortunately for me, I have all the usual home appliances and so don't have to choose one to throw off the island like on Survivor. If I did, the washing machine would win in the long run. The fridge would easily be king of a weekend. I love my modern appliances and am grateful for 24/7 electricity to run them all.

PS: These short gratitude posts will happen when I am not at my primary keyboard. I am also grateful for my wireless keyboard and laptop!
