Man, we haven't air-dried laundry in years, ever since an industrial park was built nearby. All the dirt and debris and whatever else floats over us, and even the front of the house get covered in stuff, for lack of better word. (It's also noisy at all hours; sometimes I swear they're dynamiting tree stumps or something.)

I'll sometimes reread old favorites and see the issues more clearly as well, and it kind of makes me sad. Is it a loophole or awkward pacing or odd characterization because of the intended audience or because of the writer? I don't know what I'd prefer, or if it even matters, but it would be sad if it was consciously done that way because of the audience, just because of their young age., you know?
