"That describes how I feel about my disassociation. The doc here and other health care professionals would call it a disorder; I don't."

I rarely carry more than two lights on my person at the same time, unless I'm camping or hiking.

After some awkward silence, Jeanette makes a suggestion to Russ. "I saw some arcade games on the first floor. How about we skip this session?"

enabler for Russ enters...if you want to spot coyotes and additionally give them a little night blindness... one of the M3 heads from Solar Force might be a fun purchase... a little pricy, but comes with an XM-L2 3 mode module... with the extension tube for an extra 123 providing 9v, you can simulate the Trinity test shot...with a low voltage XP-G R5 and a single 18650... not too much larger than a 6P package

my work here is done

Thanks Les, none of us has a problem wink
I saw that SolarForce head and the extension tube for a second 18650 -- 1500 Lumen. I may do that once I have the body currently inbound up and working.

Roughly $80 for both the K3 head and tube.

Jeanette remains, standing, having received no response from Russ. "If you don't like games, that's fine. It was a suggestion."

Hey, ya been busy, missed the meeting. But since none of us have a real flashlight problem, I'm thinking the good Dr Ross can just meet with himself. He seems to be the only person in the room with a real flashlight issue.

[Craig wakes from his daydream with a start.]

Sorry folks, didn't mean to be rude. I was just thinking about my Quark123. This wonderful little tool fits comfortably in my jeans watch pocket yet I can go outside on the darkest knight and easily light up deer and other wildlife in my back yard out to 25 yards and more. I still marvel at that capability.

When I was a kid 50 years ago my grandfather showed me his pen light and told me he never goes out without it. As an adult I came to understand his wisdom. I use the flashlight nearly every day.

But to answer your question Dr. Ross, life is not about flashlights. My sister and I joke about them but they are so darn useful for every day situations. Frequently people ask to borrow mine. Why are they too lazy to carry one themselves? They are the ones with the problem.

Or is life really about flashlights after all? Or light anyway? Is not light the embodiment of all that is good? A light in the night is comforting, warding off evil. Dare I mention that Jesus was called the light of the world?

Of all the things one could be fascinated with surely light and goodness and safety and comfort can't be bad.

Besides, I can stop anytime I want to. Really I can...

"I don't know if it is laziness." Jeanette says to Craig. "This bag allows me to carry something as big as 3 D-cell MAG-LITE."
