This lamp has looked a little sad for a really long time. First of all, I can’t remember it ever working. The theory is that somewhere along the way, its wires were accidentally cut while someone was doing yard work. Or maybe some tree roots broke them as they grew. Can tree roots break electricity lines? There are several trees that were planted in my parents’ yard in the last 20 or 25 years that have grown into giants that could have done that, if it’s actually a possibility.
