24	Robo-Magic Washing Machine	Home Furnishing	Appliances
	Robo-Magic Washing Machine The motto of the old Robo-Magic washing machine cleverly confused two separate ideas people had about Monday. One idea was that women traditionally did their laundry Monday. Monday was simply washday, and not an especially depressing day on that account. People who had horrible jobs during the week used to Monday "Blue Monday" sometimes, though, because they hated to return to work after a day of rest. When Fred T. Barry made up the Robo-Magic motto as a young man, he pretended that Monday was called "Blue Monday" because doing the laundry disgusted and exhausted women.

There was a familiar moat between the parking lot of the Inn and the Interstate, a concrete trough which the engineers had built to contain Sugar Creek. Next came a familiar resilient steel barrier which prevented cars and trucks from tumbling into Sugar Creek. Next came the three familiar westbound lanes, and then the familiar grassy median divider.
