Canon: Pre-series, shortly before Balki arrives.

Larry carried his basket of clothes into his bedroom and set it on the floor. He removed smaller piles from the basket first, then the larger piles, arranging all the piles on his bed. He put socks and shorts in one drawer, while another drawer had a variety of solid color tee shirts. The tee shirts were often paired with his collection of button-up shirts, which hung in the closet.

Larry opened the closet door and pulled out one empty hanger at a time. He had a color scheme in which he kept the shirts. If he was looking for a certain color, he could find it easily. There were solids, stripes, and plaids. He hung the shirts one by one, keeping the color scheme intact.

Next came several pairs of slacks. He set those on the ironing board set up in front of the window. Finally, he had sweaters and sweater vests. Those had a similar color scheme for easy finding. Perhaps he was a little obsessive compulsive about the color order, but he had gotten shirts that went with both a tee shirt and a sweater. This offered him more variety in a smaller amount of clothes.

Larry closed his closet and moved the basket over by the ironing board. He would work on ironing the slacks later. Feeling accomplished, he retrieved his camera and decided to get some pictures that he hoped to sell as a photojournalist. He did not want to be stuck working for his landlord at the discount store for any longer than he had to.

“Some day, Appleton, some day,” Larry told himself and headed out.
