Our dryer has a long vent pipe. The result is air restriction which makes the dryer less efficient. We ordered a ventless dryer a little over a week ago. These use a heat pump. The heat pump warms air to pick up moisture from the clothes. Then it cools the air to force the dampness to condense into water. The water goes out a hose that takes it to the same discharge pipe the washing machine uses. It’s a slick system we first heard of from Ryn. The dryer came in this week. It runs fine.

Today we attended a concert at Howard Community College. We heard two piano concertos — one by Mozart and one by Beethoven. They polished off the afternoon with Beethoven’s second Symphony. They did a very good job. The concert started at 4 and was on the long side. By the time we got out, we decided to eat dinner at La Madeline’s.

Other than that, it was a laid back week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
