Dry Cleaning

Mary dropped off my dry cleaning today.

They charge 4.50$ for each tie and six-something for suit coats. I’m having two ties and a coat cleaned and it cost more to clean two ties than it did to clean an entire suit coat.

Seems a bit backwards to me.

I live in Lethbridge with my spouse and 5 of our 6 children. I’m a writer, focusing on social issues and the occasional poem. My politics are radically left. I recently finished writing a book debunking several capitalism myths. My newest book writing project is on the labour history of Lethbridge.

I’m also dichotomally Mormon. And I’m a functional vegetarian: I have a blog post about that somewhere around here. My pronouns are he/him.

Outrageous. Fortunately my Los Angeles dry cleaners post their coupons on their website. They clean silk (including ties) and their rates (even without the coupons) are really good.
