It may be an interesting day.  My neighbors 2 doors down must have had a leak of some type in their front yard as some utility co. was digging a big hole and ruptured the gas line.  The smell is really strong out there.  The fire dept. just arrived.  Hope they can shut it off without the rest of us having to evacuate or do without heat today.  (It is cold and snowing again).
     My dog is loving all the activity she can watch from our front window....doggy live-action television.
   
     An hour and a half later, the fire dept.  just rolled up their hoses and pulled out.  The gas company is here doing repairs and has shut off everyone's gas.  I hope their repairs don't take more than a few hours as it has gotten down to 58 Deg and falling in my house.  But no evacuation needed. I wasn't quite sure where I would go with my dog, anyway.

     At the suggestion of a friend, I am using the self-clean feature on my oven.  The oven needed cleaning anyway and it will help keep the house a bit warmer.

     Update:  after 4 hours, furnace and water heater are on, and I'm going to have a clean oven.  I'm glad I was home when this happened to make sure pilot lights relit.  A good, safe outcome.
