Well, technically, I could die any day. But those of you who know me know that I am not prone to hyperbole. When I went downstairs in the morning after my mom had left, I smelled something burning or something that had burned. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but I just figured that she had burned some toast. It was not until later in the day that I found what had caused the smell: there was a burn mark across the wood trim next to the kitchen window. My mom had left a makeup-type magnifying mirror pointing skyward in the windowsill and it had focused the sun’s rays and burned a line across the wood as the sun moved. Had the mirror been in a slightly different place it could have ignited a drape, setting the whole thing off and burning down the house. That’s one for CSI!
