driveway living

I recognize that not very many of you are living in a tent on a driveway, but I feel obligated to keep you up to date on the tips and tricks of it anyway. So today we're going to discuss what happens when you knock a glass of water off your coffee table/clothing bin onto a concrete driveway with a reasonably large population of dormant moss.

Obviously you try to sweep the concrete, which kicks up an enormous cloud of dust containing recently-watered, dirt-inhabiting mold spores. Then you have to take the whole tent down to the frame, wash everything, and put down that tarp you didn't get around to airing until today because you thought you were ok on the driveway without one for five and a half weeks, but turns out those damp mornings when you felt bad, it was the moss causing problems, and you (and your husband) have the intelligence of, well, moss.
