If there is one thing in this world I am afraid of, it’s fire. I saw a house burn down in my neighborhood when I was little, and I’ve had nightmares ever since. I’ve never lit a match before. But I am not opposed to having candles in my home (as long as I am in the same room as the burning flame). This means I need a good lighter — not a match, and not one of those small lighters where your fingers are dangerously close to the flame. Who knew I’d find my perfect lighter at the slightly sketchy Ocean State Job Lot in Medford. First, a little background on the store. They call themselves New England’s “home of adventure shopping.” Everything is at closeout prices (manufacturers’ overruns/overstocks), and a lot of it is total garbage. But this lighter is a real treasure. It has a safety trigger lock (obviously important to me considering my fear), you can adjust the size of the flame (small, please), you can view how much fuel is left, and you can refill it when it’s empty. My perfect lighter.
