I am extremely sensitive to the mercaptans that they put in the gas to make it smell (natural gas has no odor of its own.)

I kept bothering Atlanta Gas Light because I smelled gas around my meter. They came out with the soap solution and couldn't find a leak . . . I kept bothering them . . . they came out with a sophisticated "sniffer" and lo and behold there was a microscopic crack in the meter itself. Replaced it and no more smell.

AGL man said they might be hiring . . . < g >

LOL! I'm very paranoid about gas leaks, mostly because of having lived in New York for many years, where gas leaks abound. With faulty gas plumbing done by fly-by-night unlicensed handymen or supers, careless construction or demolition and old pipes (not to mention poorly capped gas lighting fixtures left in old apartments), it's a wonder there aren't more explosions.
