My Famous Laundromat

My local laundromat sells laundry bags in one of two varieties:

$0.50 - Yellow plastic. When half full it comes up to the knees of a little girl in a Sears photo studio.

$0.75 - Darker plastic. Nearly the same size as a small boy in the back yard.

I guess the gallon metric for plastic bags has fallen out of fashion.

If you are wondering why my laundromat qualifies as famous, go here and watch episode 6. After Demetri rides his bike down the hill (my hill) he helps an old lady (not my old lady) cross the street (my street), and there, in the background, is my famous laundromat (my famous laundromat).

House in Haiku

My new house is swell
I shall write some featurekus
To explain the swell

Three windows are nice
Were the power to go off
Sunlight helps me see

Bedroom near bathroom
Toilet to 'puter sight-line
Movies while pooping

No ceiling pounding
No snot-rocket sounds next door
Nobody cooks feet
