Laundry theory
I was talking to the wife last night and we were musing on the large volume of laundry we seem to be producing lately. I told her that we were noticing it more now that we have to go outside our new (built in 1933) house and enter the basement from outside to get to the washing machine. When we were renting, our laundry facilities were in the downstairs hallway not 20 feet from our bedroom. It was easy to run it as soon as we accumulated a load. Now, especially in this wet weather, we tend to put it off until the weekend to put off getting soaked and cram it into one evening.
I also said that we probably have more laundry because it is winter time and that means long sleeves, more layers, more fabric, thus more laundry. The wife then pointed out that I was full of shit because I had made an opposite argument saying summer was a bigger laundry season. Being that in the summer one sweat-out clothing at least once if not twice a day requiring washing everything after wearing it once.
What does everyone else think? Winter or summer, which produces more laundry for you?

winter. Dogs are always tracking in mud, bottoms of your pants get soaked, and the layers comment definately withstands.
Dont really have to wash swim suits that often b/c they are being washed while worn...
You are probably just dirty in general Load, go wash yourself and maybe the "loads" shall diminish
He tries to use a similar justification as to why he has more dresser drawer space than me. He says, "My clothes are bigger, so I need more space."
I call bull hockey.......
I will address that in another post Wife.
No seasonal difference in San Francisco. Same weather = same clothes.
I concur with Rb - Living in the bay area - same weather = same clothes. Wash doesn't change. (oh - and neener neener)
definitely winer. all you wash in the summer is shorts and tshirts. not even socks, because you wear flip flops the whole time. winter requires sweatshirts, jeans, long sleeved everything. not to mention, if you go out for a beer on a summer night, you don't smell like smoke because watering holes keep the windows and doors open...unlike winter when a single beer during happy hour requires that you immediately strip off everything you were wearing when you get home, and wash it. twice.
