Out of the Blue

The folks from Consolidated Edison were busy outside the BlueTower yesterday replacing the gas main that runs under the street. This was a little scary when the entire surrounding area began to stink of that stuff they add to the gas so it's detectible, but I was reassured this was all routine. It was also routine to check our system thoroughly before restoring our gas, which was a little nerve-wracking, as they just twisted a wrench to shut it off, but had to follow a fairly rigorous safety checklist to turn it back on again. So it was only after testing for leaks and the proper operation of our meter did we get fully restored. This certainly makes sense, as natural gas leaks are incredibly dangerous, but when the Con Ed guy explained that he was the one who had to deliver bad news to people about repairs they might need before they could get heat back, it provoked a little anxiety that he might have bad news for us. Fortunately this was not the case.
