        Bah.

        Most of my scars are not fire-related and I no longer say
"I know what I am doing" at critical moments.

        Loudest fire to date: box filled with shredded paper + cup
of gasoline, sealed with tax, placed on bonfire. Don't do this
near anything you'd be sad to see burn.

        Most annoying fire: a small candle that went dingo on me. Had a
little metal plate to anchor the wick and when that gets warm enough,
the wax itself ignites. V hot and not exactly easy to put out (Smothering
works).
