You made the right decision. Far to many have made the wrong decision and ended up regretting it. Not only is it wrong, but to many have ended up being blackmailed after they dallied. It never pays to break the rules. The rules were made for a reason.

Your title certainly fit the story. You tell good stories in just a short post. I put way too many words in my stories.

I wouldn't call it a confession, but it is a true story.

My mother's family moved to Superior Az. in 1917. My grandfather helped Boyce Thompson build the arboretum. They lived by a ravine across from the arboretum gate. He worked there until he died. See A Little Salt For My Children.
I worked there the summer of 1955.

Hi James,
There is a very good lesson in your story, and you told it well. Give yourself an A+ for making the wise decision to do your laundry elsewhere.
Blessings,
