Stove fires...gotta love 'em..NOT
I ran across a bargain, a chain store was closing out a line of battery-operated detectors and was selling them for FOUR DOLLARS EACH. I bought them all and they were given to homeless folks...except the one in my trunk....

maj, just ran a test while blogging.
My smoke detector sits on the sideboard, open and battery-less. Will buy battery this week, but it failed the pushing button test this week.
Then, I put on some potatoes to boil as I am out of dog biscuits and the doggies want something substantial to eat in winter, warm boiled potatoes, I thought.
So, I am blogging away and commenting and reading and the potato water is boiling away in another room, with heavy curtains between us now, as I have curtained every doorway and window this week. That last gas bill, see other blogs.
I smell another potato smell and run to the kitchen. Water all gone, potatoes not yet burning, just in time. No dog, even those waiting at the stove, came to tell me of the waterless state.
I put the potatoes in cold water and ate mine hot with salt and butter. Now the others are cooled off and I am about to feed the doggies.
So, smoke alarms are good and would have informed me, as that isolated one was in the kitchen....when it had a battery, but made me realize that I need more detectors now that I have divided up the house. And SOME dogs do nothing, but might have if I had left the potatoes to burn, but now, I will never know....

Apparently someone has those ideas already. Of course! Now, are they widely available, cheap and dependable? And simple.
