lives are saved by this kind of equipment.

That's one of the things I have found most disturbing about losing my sense of smell. At first I was busy missing all the good smells and now I am mostly concerned with the inability to smell the alarming/warning smells. It's cool you got a detector for free - the local lowes people looked at me weird when I asked about a natural gas detector. I used to very much prefer natural gas stoves, but now I wish my home were totally electric.
