A flashlight upgrade
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 11:35 am
We have a flock of little cheap flashlights scattered around the house — desks, nightstands, TV and computer tables, etc. They're of the Dollar Tree variety, 3-LED, silver-colored and a couple of inches long. I find it handy to just reach over and grab a flashlight when I need one rather than having to get up and go poking around in drawers.
Yesterday I noticed something unusual about the flashlight by the wife's laptop. It was different. Still silver and with the switch on the end, but it was longer by a half-inch or so. Looking at it more closely, I discovered that it was a 9-LED light rather than a 3.
What happened? How did I suddenly become the possessor of a quality flashlight mixed in with my el cheapos? I didn't buy it. My wife says she didn't buy it. Where did it come from?
