062108 New Washer Trailer

062108 New Washer Trailer

The other night we also got a 'new' 'washer trailer'. What this means
is that people (soldiers/civilain) here at the battalion will now be
able to do their own washing. So some may say that this is a good
thing as the current service doesn't really get your whites that
white! Others (usually women) personally don't like dropping off
their 'personal laundry' (skid marks and all) with stangers. I've
been told that women's laundry is sorted separately from men's laundry
due to religious sensitivities. Many/most of the laundry workers are
muslim. I really don't care but this is again another step in the
'doily-fication' phase of the base. (previous phase was 'war phase'
- park anywhere, no damn speed limits, can ride bike on sidewalk,
'doily-fication phase - park in the parking lot, speed limit is 32
KM/hr, canNOT ride my bike on the sidewalk, etc.)

Anyway, here are some pics of the trailer being positioned into place.
These things are usually done at night so as to cause minimal
interference with normal operations.

    Women leave skid marks?.... nah, don't believe it. I thought that was just a guy thing. Doily-fication is a great term... I gotta use that.
