Spin Cycle Inspection

I marched down the street and pushed straight through the swinging glass door of the neighborhood laundromat! The air was warm and smelled amazingly of breezy lavender detergent. I scrambled up the smooth chrome leg of a big metal sorting table, right next to a giant round wicker basket. A blue plastic measuring scoop was lying upside down with powdery white soap crystals dusted on its edge! I leaned forward, gripping the plastic rim with both hands, and flipped it upright with a triumphant clack. Then I brushed the stray white grains into a tiny, neat square pile on the stainless steel counter. Operational readiness at maximum bubbly efficiency!
