Obsession

I am without camera for a little bit, so I thought I would indulge in my other obsession: fire. No, I'm not a firebug. I like my fire legal. I think people who have fireplaces are very fortunate indeed. Nothing like crackling flames on a cold night to keep you warm. Since I live in the sticks, I can burn stuff outside, so every now and then I'll make a little campfire and toast (and by "toast" I mean "burn") a few marshmallows.

Fire also can be funny.  Here are my two favorite fire-related clips As Seen On TV! First, the classic and iconic opening to a "Frasier" episode, in which Niles sets the couch on fire:

And the DQ Flamethrower commercial. For some reason, this always strikes me as incredibly hilarious. But then, I am a little weird ...

And no, I don't burn candles in my house. Not since the day my little Katie-Cat leaned in a little too close to watch the flame and lost her eyebrow whiskers.
