The Unmistakable Chirp
This evening as we were leaving to go to Fred Meyer, I told Richard that the building across from us has a smoke detector going out. Having been a faithful Loveline listener for years, I know the unmistakable chirp that a smoke detector makes when it's battery is dying. I noticed it first a few days ago while I was walking the dog, but figured someone else would notice it and actually know where it was coming from and report it to maintenance.
As we were coming back from Fred Meyer I told Richard to turn down the radio and roll down the windows to see if he could hear it. We turn the corner, and there's a massive ladder truck and a fire marshall's truck right in front of the building. Woops. Didn't appear to be a fire at all (and the batteries shouldn't have died in a few days), so I'm wondering if someone called it into 911 freaked out about the chirping :)
