Rather than wash by hand, if in a hurry, I simply wear my cleanest dirty
shirt. I have enough boxers and socks to last two weeks without running
laundry and my daily outfit is so simple that no-one ever knows if I am
wearing the same clothes every day.

, I only wesr Khaki pants or Khaki shorts,mutiples of each. I only wear Navy
blue or hunter green cotton shirts, also mulitples of each. I run the washer
as least often as is necessary. Wife is another story. We do our laundry,
separately. ................bobford
