The grand opening

george RAYMOND30 Comments

A new laundromat

opened on my block. And

I did my laundry the

day of the Grand Opening.

***

Later, my girlfriend

asked what I thought

of the laundromat.

And I blurted out, “Grand!”

***

But then I felt dumb

for using the same word

that was on the banner.

***

So I quickly added,

***

“Awe-inspiring.”

Love is

like a

river.

A terrible terrible river.

      • The coal-fired industry of the Gilded Age was the mother of the invention of the electric washing machine, in sooty 1908, which made the grand opening of the first “Washateria,” in `1934, inevitable. The one that opened on your block in 2025 must indeed inspire awe. The glory days are here again in Trefurbia.

    • That’s funny, the River bit was not supposed to be on the post. I added it a few days ago just to see how it looked and I neglected to remove it. Now I’m not certain what to do. It stays, I guess. Thanks, Seliza!

      • I THOUGHT it was out of place. But I didn’t care, in the end. It’s a great quote. It reminds me of the lyrics for Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, falling in, the flames go higher, and it burns and burns. Same feeling. Same truth.
