16. Not an option here

Not only do we live only a few blocks from a major road in our part of town, not only is it walking distance to K-12 schools, and not only is it less than a mile to a major shopping center and multiple gas stations...

But also we're just over a mile from a busy freeway.

While all of those features are a considerable benefit for us (we can walk to nearly everything we need), it does have some minuses. For instance: Whenever we've tried drying anything outdoors, everything stinks of car exhaust when we bring it back in.

So we're better off using the dryer. When we don't want to put certain things in the dryer, we'll hang them on the spare bathroom's shower rod. That works rather nicely as a clothesline substitute.

i envy you if you live someplace with cleaner air.
