Bad Laundromat

Kerrville, Texas

Weather: low 50 degrees, high 62 degrees, cloudy, misty

This was not a good day for sightseeing or pictures with the clouds and mist. Late in the afternoon, I took a chance that the light outside would be good enough to take some pictures of the murals in the little town of Ingram, just down the road from where we are staying. I've mentioned before that we like to see murals, because they usually give a sense of the history and what's important to the people. The first one remembers the last Indian massacre in the area, which happened in 1878. Four members of a family were killed in an attack by Indians. Check out the other ones in this post.

Since we were not going to be out and about, we decided to wash our laundry. The laundry we chose to use looked good from the outside. I went in and checked it out, and found that it was clean, with plenty of machines available. I did note that it seemed overpriced. After we talked it over, we decided to stay there, even though the price was more than we were used to paying.

Well, the price wasn't the only thing that was bad about the place. The water did not get hot enough, and Carolyn did not like the short time that the machines washed or the amount of rinsing that took place. To compound our dissatisfaction with the place, there was still a lot of water left in the clothes when the spinning was finished. Then, to really put a capper on this sorry laundromat, it took about 45 minutes to dry the clothes. This was the absolute worse laundry we have used on the road.

After the laundry fiasco, we took the clothes home and put them away. By then, it was meditation time. There's something about meditation when the weather is cloudy and cool that is so refreshing. Of course, meditation is always refreshing.

As I said, this was not a good day for drifting in the area, and the prospects for tomorrow don't look any better. Who knows, I may get bored and find some adventure in between the rain showers that are forecast for tomorrow.

More later, be safe.
