So after 20-plus years, our dryer finally Kicked the Bucket. Shuffled Off Its Metallic Coil. Lost Its Load. Bought the Big Lint Farm. Well, you get the idea. Meet me at Consumer Reports.org.

Then, after you've helped me pick out a new dryer, read this cautionary tale and realize that truly, some people are put here on Earth merely to serve as a warning to others.

Yesterday my son came home and said, "Well, I have good news and bad news."

"Okay," I replied, "what are they?"

"The good news is that I got 18 out of 20 on my driver's test!"

"And the bad news?"

"They were pedestrians."
