My nose has driven\u00c2\u00a0 family and friends crazy over the years. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a curse. I can smell a bear a half mile away, garlic on the breath of someone clear across the room, the clashing multiple perfume scents in a theatre.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been known to wake John up in the middle of the night with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that smell\u00e2\u20ac\u009d simply because a cigarette smoker has walked on the sidewalk out front.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Never mind how I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been tortured by teens\u00c2\u00a0 after skiing-hiking-baseball-soccer-snowboarding refusing to drive them anywhere until they showered\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..<\/p>\n
But yesterday my nose failed me.\u00c2\u00a0 Happily curled up with a book, visiting with my parents, I wondered why I had such a headache?\u00c2\u00a0 Mike and Di walk in and Mike immediately says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I smell gas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No way\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I say, and ignore him.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Mike promptly went to the gas stove and turned it on.<\/p>\n
The house did not explode.\u00c2\u00a0 But indeed we had a leaky furnace.\u00c2\u00a0 Now we owe him our lives.<\/p>\n
