It's unmistakably a torch.

Okay, I'm going to let you in on a huge secret.

There are lots of them, not just one.

Every runner gets his own torch.

Every runner.

And I think there have been over 8,000 relay torch carriers.

So a lot of these were made, and they give you an opportunity, if you wish, to purchase your own personal torch when your run is over.

And it's a beautiful object, and I'm going to think of some way of mounting it.

And it has a scorch mark at the top where the flames came out.

And, you know, I may charge visitors.

I may let them run around my garden carrying this, and there'll be a small payment, which, of course, I will donate probably to NPR.

But it has been decommissioned, so you can no longer light it.

It won't flame anymore.

Yes.

First of all, with gratitude, I would say, that you're doing it at all.

And then I think it needs a good arm elevation with a slight bend in the arm.

But for safety reasons, you need to have it well above your head.

However, I would recommend... You guys are young, aren't you?

You're really youthful.

Oh, yeah.
