Possessed washer

As I typed this title, another one came up  "Possessed Garage Door". Maybe I am on my way to my whole house being possessed.

A couple of days ago I was doing laundry. The washer seemed to be running more than normal, but I didn't think much of it. I was getting ready to run errands and checked to see how much longer before the washer was finished. 11 minutes. It took me a few minutes before I was ready to go and I considered checking how much longer on the washer, but decided not to. I would just go and the washer would be done when I got home. When I got home, I noticed that the washer was running. I'm thinking, "What the heck". I was at the pharmacy for an hour, the washer should be done. I looked at the washer and it said it had 11 minutes. My heart sank. I was sure that it was something electronic and it would cost lots of money to repair, not to mention the time without a washer. I turned the washer off and opened the door. My clothes were knotted up in a tight, tight wad. How would you feel if you had been agitating in the washer for probably close to 2 hrs continuously? I worked at getting the clothes separated out and hesitantly started the washer again on a short cycle. I was so relieved when the time did not come up as 11 min. I am happy to report that my washer is working fine now. Wheew!

Lots of rain

I spent almost a week in the Panaca area at Christmastime. It rained and rained and rained some more. I thought my windsheild wipers where going to get all worn out. They got quite a work out. I'm not sure right now, but I think Christmas is in December, isn't it? I think we are supposed to get snow in December. There was  a couple of areas between Panaca and St. George where the road was being flooded by run-off water. This is typical weather for April.

I thought about taking a bath while I was down there but I was afraid that I would start quacking.
