Acrid Odor....

Ok, there are only a couple of people that read my blog that will get the meaning of "acrid odor..." so I'll explain. On the boat, or ship if you are one of those guys, just before a fire is called away, "Acrid odor in ________." usually preceeds the fire. Well, there was an acrid odor in the house this morning. I was in the shower and Carintha was making breakfast, but someone had left the light on in the bedroom. (Not me) We don't have an overhead light, so we have two spot lights that I used to use on the entertainment center that we use for lights. (See the first picture.) Somehow, Morgan's sweater that Carintha bought for her Christmas Musical tomorrow ended up on top of one of the lights. When I got out of the shower, I smelled an "acrid odor." I went to the kitchen thinking that maybe she had burned breakfast, but I didn't smell it there. I came back to the hallway and I could smell it again. I went to Austin's room where the computer is. Nothing there either. Then I went into our room. It was slowly filling with smoke. Since the sweater was made of wool it didn't really catch on fire, it just burned in one spot. (See the second picture.) No damage done though. Just have to go buy a new sweater for tomorrow.
