My Torchiere
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2017 12:49 am
Here I am, chillin' on the couch, relaxin', watching some TV and browsing the forums. My old 300W torchiere lamp is shining on the ceiling, providing just enough indirect lighting that 99% of people think is way too dark - why are you sitting in the dark? Why don't you turn on some lights? They just don't understand.
Then I get a whiff of something, but it quickly goes away. But a bit later I smell it again. Is that something burning? I didn't turn on the stove. Maybe it's dust in the furnace? Oh well, back to browsing the forums. Wait, now it's getting stronger - what is that? Oh yeah, now I remember. The cats were fascinated by that flying insect about a half hour ago. Another one suicided into my lamp. It happens about once a month, but it always takes me by surprise. Where's the DustBuster?
But I'll never give up my torchiere - the greenies will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
