I decided to hand wash my Harris tweed jacket--i'd had it for two years, found in a free box, and given it extremely heavy use, sometimes on me and sometimes under me or over my slumbering body.

It was pretty fiilthy from a few too many stuff-the-cheese-in-the-pocket for later (typical potluck party behaviour, I'm afraid)...and I don't have the money for the 9 dollar eco-dry clean job, or even the 8 dollar Ruin-the-planet job.

So I just filled up a plastic tub with warm water, pushed the coat in, and added a qyarter cup of woolite, and squose the garment, paying careful attention to the cuffs and pocket-edges and neck...this took about ten minutes.

Then rinsed it a couple hundred times until the water wasn't deep brown (another five minutes) and lay the dripping thing on our hammock in the yard, with the inside open to the sun.

It took a night and half a day to dry completely out, (turning it inside out for added dryness)

Thrilled that the thing looks good and smells nice and woolly, not all 'homeless greasebag'...Gonna treat myself to a manicure with my savings...

Would boss tweed support obama's health care reform?

Boss Tweed, like a lot of Democrats in that era, was a pioneer in crony capitalism; using government to control business. But Tweed also used government to control outcome in politics, which is why he's so infamous. I'm not sure what he'd think of the Health Care bill, but he would support bailouts and intimidation by Black Panthers, etc.
