| El Paso Laundry building, Chihuahuita, El Paso. November 2016. |
In Mobile, I have access to washers and dryers that are onsite and free. I've not been blessed with this amenity since Alamogordo!
Such luxury means a return to a weekly regimen instead of the biweekly routine of Birmingham.
It means a year's direct cost savings of $221 and an opportunity cost savings of 65 hours in sitting-around-waiting-for-laundry-to-process time.
Because the appliances are in the same building as my apartment, I don't even have to factor in the inconvenience of inclement weather.
Because the appliances are in the same building as my apartment, I doubt if something dramatic like these two incidents (one on the laundry shed roof in Opelousas and the other in the laundry room a few doors down from my apartment in Alamogordo) will happen, as it requires a key to access the building.
