That's some pretty, elegant, torch. You probably fill it with butane. I just
use a hardware store propane utility torch. That's more my style. I loved
that torch. When my office got flooded, the piezo ignition system crapped
out. What a sad day that was.

We were watching a Brit TV show last night and a woman called another woman
a mutton in lamb's wool. I don't know what the heck it means but it made me
laugh.

Mutton dressed as lamb? lol She is saying she is trying to look younger
than she is) Usually an older woman dressed inappropriately <g>
