Gas leak?

Dawn came in to do payroll this morning and commented immediately that she smelled gas... We didn't smell anything in the building, but it's possible that we've simply gotten used to it. Now, the gas meter is right next to the side door of our building -- so we often get a whiff of something as we come in, but it seems to do that 12 months out of the year.

After berating us for several minutes about not taking the danger seriously, someone called the gas company to report the leak... Craig Blackburn (also a local volunteer fireman) came out with a device that detects flammable gasses -- and found nothing. He thought his equipment must be faulty (even though he didn't smell anything) and called in a leak specialist. The specialist also found nothing.

I dunno -- natural gas has a HORRIBLE odor. I think we would notice if we had a serious leak. Of course, it would be very bad if we did have a leak.
