Autumn swept into town last night. Actually, it did not have to do much sweeping because summer never really showed up here this year. It was the mildest summer I have ever experienced. There were a few days when the temp reached the upper 80s, but the nights always cooled down enough that I needed to sleep under a blanket or two.
So I wore a long-sleeve shirt all summer, just in case the weather dropped down into the 70s or 60s while I was at work or someplace else, and that did indeed happen. So that gave me good reason to wear all those shirts that I bought back in June.
Of course, long-sleeve dress shirts do have a severe downside: You have to iron them!
But I took the easy way out and took them to the cleaner down the street. I handed them 17 shirts on a Monday and picked them up on a Friday. It was so wonderful. They were all starchy clean and professionally pressed. And they only charged me one euro per shirt, a special price given only to those who bring in 10 or more shirts at a time.
What a magnificent system! Quick, painless, high-quality and unbelievably reasonable prices. Government should learn to work this way.

Wow! Sounds like a good idea. I will have to look for a place like that here in the states. If it doesn't come out wrinkle free from the dryer then I don't wear it.
Count your lucky stars. We don't even have dryers here!
