I got up this morning, went downstairs to make a pot of coffee, and was greeted by the smell of gas. Pretty strong.

Probably happened when the stove was moved back into place yesterday. (Kitchen re-flooring is done; on to the finish work of baseboards, etc.)

Called the gas company. They advised staying away from the stove and leaving the windows open. They said they'd send a service tech right out.

Yes, boys and girls, the valve was cracked and gas was leaking out. The tech's "sniffer" probe went crazy.

All fixed and gas-free 20 minutes later. Tech was efficient and pleasant.

That was the remarkable part of the day. (Is "remarkable" the opposite of "unremarkable"?)
