Hometech: The Dishwasher Princes
Tue, 15 Aug 2006

Theres a number of things I'd like to go on about; the Butterfly Conservatory, the Beer Fest, the Baby-stuff. For now indulge me while I prattle a bit about the dishwasher - the under-rated workhorse of the modern household.

Everyone who marries knows the toll -- you get married, and for the next year or more the dishes get washed by hand. Later, for the lucky, when you can afford it (or in my case when a wonderful brother-in-law comes to the rescue :) a dishwasher appears and life is good again. It started making funny noises yesterday -- you know, a house gets to be 5 or more years old and everything in it must begin to fail. You see.. the companies who produce such staples need to sell, and sell, and sell again, so every machine has a lifeclock. The Maytag Princes count themselves among friends when supping with lawyers and tax collectors, I'd bet ;)
