<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Long before I started working at the appliance store (I was 13) I was fascinated with my Mom's Apex gas dryer. Punishment as a small child usually meant sitting on the laundry room floor as sort of a "time out". The big glass window on the Apex was better than cartoons on TV. You could watch the clothes tumble and see the flames of the burner through the perforated drum in the upper right hand corner. The Apex sort of broiled your clothes dry. I always thought they'd catch fire.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Mother warned me that if I opened the door with the dryer running (there was no door switch) that I'd be sucked up inside like Dorothy's house in the cyclone. One day I took a chance and opened it. Mother lied.</span>
