And things seem to be more wrinkled. I am not a fan of ironing, and I think I have used the iron more here than I have in my entire life.

Also, have you found your things not as soft as when you used a dryer. Growing up we always hung our clothes on a clothesline--outside in the summer and in the basement in the winter.

I noticed yesterday when it was lightly raining all day everyone still had their clothes out. Confused me, but I guess they still dry? Or, we can just hang them in our bathroom. We have this portable clothes-dryer rack/stand/thing that we lay out our clothes on. see <a href="http://www.larbes.com/photos/2009/0412/small/image041.jpg" rel="nofollow">these</a> <a href="http://www.larbes.com/photos/2009/0412/small/image042.jpg" rel="nofollow">two</a> photos for examples!

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of color. Oh well, you'll get to that.
