Just another sign

As if you didn’t need another sign that I’m getting old, here’s another one for ya’.

Yesterday I sent Jamie to the wash pub with $16 in quarters to clean some comforters in the jumbo washers - because yes, I’m too cheap to have them dry cleaned and will take the risk. See, for most of us that doesn’t sound too weird at all, right?

Wrong. Apparently laundry mats no longer take quarters! I know. Weird. I spent many a college night scrounging around for enough quarters to clean a load of laundry.

FYI: You have to have a prepaid card now in order to use any of the machines. And no, it doesn’t take quarters either. What will eventually be the fate of the quarter then?
+ = nothing!
