Gas - Gas - Gas


“Gas – Gas – Gas” the words I heard while training in the Marines when facing possible exposer to dangerous chemicals or gases.  Though Kim and I and the kids did not have anyone yelling “Gas – Gas – Gas” to warn us of the possible dangers, we did learn recently the house we were living in was exposing us to dangerous gases and fumes.

Another cultural learning opportunity I suppose because everything here runs off of gas – the stove, the water heater, the dryer, etc., and all are things we use on a daily basis.  Like many other things here we are often not sure what is normal and what is not.  However, maybe this one should be placed into the  “DUH” category of not being normal to have the smell of gas in the house, but we had never used propane tanks before.

To make a long story short Kim and I were able to find another house to live in and we moved two weekends ago and are settling in without the aroma of gas in the house.  We thank God that nothing bad happened to anyone and no one seems to have any negative effects from being exposed to the gases and fumes.
