Happy Halloween Everybody!!!
Last Friday I was an usher for the Lantern tours in the historic Sacramento Cemetery.

It is a fund raiser to maintain the cemetery as cash flow from the residents is nonexistent! Local actors dress up and tell the tales of the demise of colorful Sacramento natives. It was a full moon. As I was walking along an old timer asks, "Is that a red Surefire L1?" I was indeed using a red L1. After the tour we talked lights. He is a retired San Quentin worker and a collector. He was using a Zebralight and his wife had a Crelant or Nightcore 500 lumen flashlight (it was black and palm sized with a turbohead) she EDCs in her purse! He told me back in the 80s or 90s that his fellow co-workers got into a pissing match about who had the brightest light. He went out an bought an M6 which he is now converting to a rechargeble battery pack so he can use his M21 stash.
Today I had coffee with "TNT" Tana and his wife who are vacationing in the States! We actually made a trade. As Tana put it it was destiny that we both had something the other wanted. He wanted a KX2C and I a single stage 100 lumen drop in for an E2e with a 3 hour runtime.
This summer I was in Montreal and got to have dinner and a drink with jamesmtl514!
We are global my friends!
Thanks for sharing
