Hey Bob, I know the clothes line is better for the environment, but I detest the feel of clothes that have been hung on the line. We didn't have a dryer growing up and everything went out on the line except the underwear, which was hung in our kitchen, which was traumatic in its own right when one of the 10 of us had a friend come over. Putting on a pair of jeans that had been hung out to dry was like putting on a suit of armor. And the towels were like sandpaper! God bless ya, but I'd get rid of my car before I got rid of my clothes dryer (not exaggerating).
