In Need of Illumination

[1]

When I came home last night, I noticed that one of my lampshades was all askew and when I went to turn on the lamp, it didn’t work. Time for a new lightbulb? Too easy. So I unscrewed the shade, pulled out a flashlight to see if there was anything amiss in the socket, and realized I had no idea what to look for. The lamp (one of my favorites) is too big to fit in the car to bring to a repair shop. I actually panicked for a moment. And then picked up the phone and made an appointment with an electrician.
