TIF - French laundry - not! 20/12/2009

So, it is bad enough that the laundry machines have all of the instructions written in obtuse, abbreviated French - that the directions are not complete - that they only work using tokens that may be purchased only during the work week when the apartment manager is present - that I only had one token for the one load of laundry I would need to do before flying home.  What the machine - nor the English instructions back upstairs in the apartment did not indicate was that opening the door to check on the load after it started would forfeit the process and not return you token.  So now I have to get home early enough tomorrow to get another token or fly my dirty clothes back to California.  ARGHH!
Nancy had an interesting time in Detroit going through customs on Wednesday.  For some reason she misread the form and checked the box indicating that she had more than $10,000 in cash with her.  That led to some very interesting questions from the customs agent till they got is sorted out that this was just a mistake.  She doesn't look like a drug courier or a smuggler - honest she doesn't.  :-)
