There is now a clothes dryer in the laundry area.

For those unfamiliar, the low setting is for delicate clothing that would otherwise be harmed by high heat and friction; the medium setting should be appropriate for most train-assigned clothing; and the high setting should be reserved for sheets and towels only.

[There's a moment's pause, and then:]

Please do not attempt to ride in it; we would not want anyone to end up in medical.

[If he doesn't issue a warning, someone will try it. He just knows it.]

[Nothing quite like hearing that realization in real time.]

Thank you.

[There's an awkward pause for a moment, but since she has taken the time to express her disbelief.]

What are the power requirements of the dryer? Would it be a drain on the train's resources?

[namethattune]

I doubt the train would have allowed me to purchase it if it would cause that great a problem.

That said, it is probably wise not to run it all day every day.
