The Great Clothing Shrinkage

Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) got lucky when they called my house the other night, asking if we have any old clothes they could take off our hands. I have an entre wardrobe of clothes that used to fit me, before the great clothes shrinkage occurred. I allowed as how I would be deighted if they would come by and relieve me of those unexpectedly small shirts and slacks and suits that I used to wear, back when they were larger.

I no longer wear suits. Haven't for years. But I did keep a couple that haven't been subjected to the great shrinkage, just in case I need to impress a would-be client.

Normally, we would have dropped off the clothes at a Goodwill station just up the street from us, but I'm guessing that PVA is experiencing a very big upsurge in people who need their help, so all those little-person's clothes will be put to good use, I expect.
