I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to flashlights but for some reason I am attracted to them. I always want to look at them in the stores and in catalogs. I have three (and two of them I have because two people in my family both gave me a flashlight for Christmas one year) and I don’t really need one all that often but I’m always looking at flashlights. I keep looking for smaller and brighter.
This past weekend Number One Son showed me his new, very impressive, Redline flashlight. It was fairly small, very bright and had some cool features that would probably be totally useless to me – focusing and strobe. But anyway, I’m lusting after that flashlight for the brightness. I wonder if they make a smaller model that’s almost as bright. Maybe one that comes in pink… Must do some searching…

I bought this one from Amazon; they also have a non-focusing version for $23 and change. I’ve had good luck with it, it’s well-made and wasn’t very expensive.

I’m the opposite — I might as well live on a planet where flashlights haven’t been invented. I just never think of them. Then when I need one, I can’t find one.

If you want, I can go buy one of the ones like I have for you.

That’s an awfully nice offer but as I said I already have three. And it would not keep me from lusting after smaller and brighter flashlights.
