Is admitting you have a problem. My dad calls me a pyromaniac, and perhaps he’s right.Â
 In early January, a freakishly big ice storm hit parts of Nebraska (thankfully not our part).  If you want to see lots of pictures, go to here to see the rest.
People out there were with out power for over a week. Some towns are having central power lines put back up, other towns are running off of generators. People out in the country won’t have regular power restored for months!Â
Anyway, I started wondering what we would do if we were without heat for days. Sure, I’ve got the concrete blocks and tealights, but what about when those tealights burn out? Well - begin the experimenting with olive oil lamps! Did you know that olive oil has an extremely high burn temperature? If you knock over an olive oil lamp/candle (which I do not recommend trying), it will probably just put itself out. Here’s the link I found to try my own candle.Â
Here’s mine. How lovely!
