Hammerheading

Many bad things can come as a result of foul weather, and the winds and rains of an angry sky can wreak unimagined havoc.

By far the worst and most devastating example, is what is known to The Science World as Hammerheading.

Case Study Example:

You've done the washing, and hung all your best t-shirts on the line. You've then recklessly left them unattended, and a storm has come. Dark skies. Whipping winds. Furious rains.

You get to ground zero too late, the damage already being done. And to pay for abandoning your clothes in their time of need, you're left hammerheading for the next week.

For years now we've put our clothes on hangers before putting them on one of those mobile clothes racks to dry. It helps with the ironing. Then a few years ago a friend mentioned that she irons them before they dry - makes getting the creases out easier (why wait for them to dry and then spritz water on the creases to soften them?). I felt like a doofus for not thinking of this for myself.

Unfortunately, this all takes ironing as a given. Which in my life, isn't. It's from basket to back for me.

Good ideas though.

Ben, you (or E!) need to peg at the armpits of your t-shirts. This is how I save MB's tees from hammerheading. Drape the T over the line so that from the armpits up is on one side, and the rest is on the other. Then peg at the armpits. Saves you from ever having hammerhead t-shirts or pegmarks! Unless you walk around with your arms in the air. Then people would see the peg marks.
