scrawled the following:

I learned my lesson about candles and inappropriate "holders"
thirty years ago, Thanksgiving. Left a "candle going". In a wooden
box. Wax, wicks and wood really burn quite well. Lost my model
airplanes, radio, and most everything in the closet due to smoke and
heat. A "small, modest" fire.

Oops!


A lot of people will drag out the candles in a black out, and have
no experience with them, other than "mood lighting" at the dinner
table. I have bought several old fashioned candle stands, the sort
with the handle. Light the candles for evening prayers, extinguish all
but one, take it back to the bedroom, where it has its place, and
finish getting ready for bed.

Gesundheit!


Same sort of thing goes for the decorative glass oil lamps. No
way to carry them which doesn't involve picking up a round thing which
may be slick with oil.

Hey, I pick mine up like I used to do with a good brandy snifter. And
they're not slippery like that.


As we used to say in Naval Architecture Class: Plan Ahead, you
will need one someday.

Someone mentioned candles in glass jars. Those are great, and you get
the neat pictures of
LaIglesiaDeLosVatosFriosConAguayMescalViaLaArmada sEspañolDeLaReinaSusanna,
free!

I've a few of those too. Only without the picture.
