Dishwasher!?
That energy hog?
That totem to sloth?
What in hell is wrong with washing dishes by hand?
It was a social function in my home when I was growing up.
Dad and I took turns washing or drying - mom cooked.
It was a continuing lesson in responsibility, politics and quality control..
"Dirty - reject" - this from the dryer.
My dad and I bonded over this 'chore' while my appreciative mother put her
feet up.
I would give anything to be able to wash dishes one more time with my dad!

Yours in nostalgia.
