First noticed this abomination months ago when the towel was dark fluffy burgundy. I was walking the dog, or vice versa, when I looked up at the oddly installed light fixture on what was once the corner store. Remember corner stores? I miss it, but honestly didn't shop there enough to make much difference in it's feasibility. Anyway, it was a damp day, and I saw this atrocity on the light fixture. It brought back a frightening memory of (one of) the times I almost burnt the house down. I was four or five. After a tough day of playing cowboys and Indians, I took off my racoon skin hat and got ready for dinner.(quickly washed my hands) That lamp next to my bunk bed had just the right size shade for my Daniel Boone hat that I couldn't wear to the dinner table. At the end of dinner, we smelled something burning.A look into my bedroom revealed smoke rising from my hat, -the household in a panic. I recall adult faces in my face, loud angry voices! Yes, I had almost burnt the house down. Fast forward fifty some odd years, and I see this. I wasn't sure if it was 'just' stupidity, or an attempt at arson, or some genius attempt at solving a 'lighting issue', but I didn't really know what to do about it either. I couldn't quite justify a 911 call, but I couldn't ignore it either. It had rained earlier in the day, and the light wasn't on, so I didn't see immediate danger, but what to do? Nobody home. Anyway, I made a lot of walks to the corner with the dog later that night when the light came on. No steam rising from damp towel, I hoped it was some new L.E.D. fixture that doesn't emit much heat. I don't know. But here we are months later, lots of walks to the corner. I still think it's about the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time, but it shore looks purdee don't it! -Ugh!
