So I was at Home Despot this evening, looking for a timer for my hall lamp and a spud bar. Because I lead an interesting life, alright?
Anyway, while looking for the timer, I noticed a display of carbon monoxide detectors. I thought, “Well, since I have that wood-burning stove in the new house, I should really get one of these detectors.”
I picked one up and saw it was $49.97. Immediately, I started looking at the other ones on display, to see if there was a cheaper model. Blame instinct, blame my parents, blame my cheap ethnic stereotype, etc.
And I thought, “Yeah, when it comes to an invisible, odorless gas that’ll kill you within minutes, it’s always smart to cut corners . . .”
