Gee! I hope I won’t have any problems with the open containers of gasoline, oily rags and lit candles I leave unattended in MY Living Room! *SMIRK*
Glad everyone is OK, though. What a freak accident.
And, come on. Who among us hasn’t played with a magnifying glass in the hot summer sun, starting the lawn and such on fire, or at least challenging your sibling to see who could ‘stand it’ the longest with the laser beam focused on their arm?
It’s SCIENCE! :)
My Mom: “Why do you kids ALWAYS smell like burned hot dogs when you come in for supper?”
My brothers and I used to fry grub worms on the patio during the summer in the 100 degree Texas heat. They smelled much worse than burned hot dogs.
Where I work I have the benefit of parking my car in an underground lot. Anywhere else I worked, no matter what time of year I was always careful not to leave a bottle of spring water, a CD cover or anything that could be reflective out on the dashboard console or the seat.
