Saving Lives

We received an interesting call tonight from Natasha's mom. It started something like this.

"Just wanted to let you two know you saved our lives," mom said.

Say what?

She went on to remind us that, once upon a time, we had given them a carbon monoxide detector. It's been so long ago, in fact, that we had forgotten. Turns out that long ago gifted and since forgotten monitor started beeping at 5:30 this morning. It got them up and paying attention. They switched off the furnace, opened a window and made a call to the furnace repairman. He showed up and took measurements. The furnace was pumping out the toxic gasses. By end of day, a new furnace and AC were installed and all was well.

As winter chill sets in across our land, we want to remind everyone to check their carbon monoxide detectors. You could save a life...or two.
