What’s all that hung laundry?

While strolling in our neighborhood on Thursday night, our attention went to some impressive amount of laundry hung out, which is a totally unusual sight in Park City, even though there are no specific rule against that practice, but I had never seen, at least in a front yard, for all to see.

From one house to the next and above the fences, clothes to bedding and all kinds of objects flexible or pliable enough to be hung, everything imaginable was hung for everyone to see. 

When we saw someone walking by that display, we asked what was going on and a man explain that his daughter, who lives nearby, happened to be at her place when the residence next door caught fire, burned down and “flavored” all of her family clothes and furnishing with this typical acrid smell that has the power to impregnate anything porous like textile materials. 

Only now, did we understand! Another way of confirming that when something looks weird or unusual, there’s always a good reason behind it!
