Door hanging

We're having major flooding here in the Binghamton area.  It has not been good weather for hanging your laundry outdoors.  Coming home in the rain the other night, I got my pants wet.  

I don't like to throw wet clothes on the pile, so I hung them on a closet door to dry.  Remember - you can hang clothes in many different manners.  Send us your creative clothes hanging stories.  The best ones will get published here.

Bad Press

Jeff Passan writes for Yahoo Sports.  In response to this column, I sent him the following email:


In your column discussing the financial troubles facing the Mets and Dodgers, you say that they “let their dirty laundry flail about on a clothesline that stretches from coast to coast.”. I write a blog about hanging clothes (http://hangingclothes.blogspot.com/ ) and I would like to clarify this point.

I understand that your image of a trans-continental clothesline is a metaphor. However, that is where it breaks down. Nobody hangs dirty laundry on a clothesline. There would be no point in hanging soiled apparel. Items hung on a clothesline are freshly laundered – clean and pristine.

While I can understand your issues with how some baseball teams manage their finances, I don't see the point in your disparaging the noble practice of hanging clean laundry on a clothesline. Why drag laundry hanging into the conversation only to equate it with the egregious practices that you detail?

Your voice is heard from a major platform. For a future column, please consider using imagery of clean laundry hanging from a clothesline in a positive light.

Thank you.
