I've always thought it was stupid not allowing people to hang their clothes outdoors. It saves energy and the laundry smells so nice.

oh i know- seems a bit silly.....i was not aware so many cities had a thing against line drying clothes- when i read that yesterday- i vaguely remembered hearing something about that on the radio or something- but it just didn't really click in my brain till i read the article- i thought it was a coupe of d.j.'s just fooling around-
