later I switched to a small plastic cheap Lum-i-lite flashlight that uses=
 one AA and is plenty lighter than a AA Maglite. Another trick is to use =

 in using the lithiums they'd burn out the bulb rather quickly. So in the=
 towns with hardware stores I'd seek out the next power bulb and the firs=
