Well, apparently we don't light as many candles as I might have thought,
because below you will see a picture of our first lighter that finally gave up the ghost.
Apparently I miscalculated the time it would take us to use our free box of lighters.
Originally there were 37 Bic lighters in the box. We gave five to friends that dropped by
here and there. Then you see the one below that is no longer in operation. Thirty-one left.
At almost three years per lighter. Oh dear, we'll be running out sometime around 2106.
Mark your calendars folks. No more birthday candles at our house after I turn 129.
I don't care how much the kids whine about it. I'm not made of money you know.
