Stop making fun of Alice's homemaking skills, you evil trolls. Do you have any ideas how hard and time consuming it is to load 3 baskets of linen, carry them (one under each arm and one one the head) miles to the distant LA River, rubbing them by hand on that flat vibrator thingie, pinning them onto lines and waiting for them to dry in the wind, then folding them and carrying them back to WH or BH? Do you? I didn't think so!
