Used it the other day as a matter of fact. I cannot see burning electrons or carbon molecules when there's a giant clothes drier in the sky behind the house. And my clothes smell great. Of course, I don't have neighbors burning tires. Might get the odd sparrow turd on a shirt now and then. The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.

That was high tech. Our Penneys had the old cable system where the little canister was sent up a cable to the business office upstairs by a whack from a spring loaded knocker gizmo.
