Busy Day at the Laundromat

Started the morning with a series of Three Stooges shorts with exotic or jungle settings. "Three Missing Links" takes Curly, Moe, and Larry to Africa on a movie shoot that goes wrong when a real gorilla invades the set. "We Want Our Mummy" has the boys looking for a mummy and a lost professor in Egypt. "Some More of Samoa" takes them to the island of RhumBoogie to find a mate for a lonely tree. "Mummy's Dummies" brings Shemp in as he, Larry, and Moe play used chariot salesmen in ancient Egypt who discover a plot to steal the Pharoah's gold. The trio are going "Hu-La-La" when they have to teach some unfriendly natives how to dance for a movie, if they can keep their heads from being shrunk first!

The laundromat was amazingly busy today, especially compared with last week. The place was hopping with families and older women as I dumped my very small load into a washer. Good thing it was a small load. As soon as it was out of the washer, almost every one was taken. It was only getting busier as I stuffed my things into the bag and hurried out.

I put everything away, then ran an episode of The Greatest American Hero while making a Summer Vegetable Omelet for lunch. Ralph has taken Pam, Bill Maxwell, and his class down to a small island in the Pacific for a lesson in the local culture and some fun in the sun. Their vacation gets a lot scarier when the friend of Bill's who was supposed to have put them up turns out to have been run down by a local voodoo cult. No one will talk about the man's death...except for the island's new dictator and his henchmen, who warn the group off the island. Ralph and Bill discover that the death of the previous president wasn't an accident...right when the others disappear!

Work was pretty par for the course for this time of the month and the year. It was really busy during rush hour, with very long lines, but otherwise on and off. There were no major problems, and I was in and out.
