Did I ever tell you that when Bear and I stayed in San Diego, there was a sign in the room saying that "Candles and matches would be confiscated *" ?
That night, and true to their word, the maid took our prayer candles and our matches. Hotel Management saw to it that they were properly disposed of...well almost...they set fire to the basement and we had to leave the building, which was virtually pitch black. No bastard could see a thing.
If only we had our candles...or a 12,792 brick regulation fireplace to light the way.
*This bit is true.
