i then found the same device for all my fellow brain injury students, all the elderly and disabled people i know....
lives are saved by this kind of equipment.

These are great to have and not hard to install or expensive. Last year, my furnace had a leak and other problems that were very dangerous. This let me know to get it taken care of! Also, know where you can turn gas off at your house--- when the Big One hits us in CA again, turn off the gas!! Tell apt/condo people to make sure their supers/ whoever is in charge of such things to make sure they know what the hell to do! Get the damn gas off right away- stop the flow from the street main into your home.
