3 years ago I was boogie boarding on Assateague when I looked right next to me to discover a small shark swimming along side me. I paddled back to shore in a blur of kicking feet and thrashing arms. Yeah, they tell me that I'm much more likely to die from a lightning bolt than being a fish's lunch but I'll take my chances with the lightning. I sleep better with a propane and CO2 alarm in the van. :) ;) Bryan -----Original Message----- From: Michael Elliott [mailto:camping.elliott@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 10:16 AM To: BJ Feddish Cc: Vanagon Mailing List Subject: Re: ...its alright ...if you wanna get down .... propane ... (apologies to eric c.) This comes to a personal decision, I reckon. My guess is that my risks of dying from a vehicle accident while driving on the road, or from a scratch leading to a MRSA skin infection, or from a stray bullet, are probably far, far higher than from a midnight propane leak. But hey! if someone sleeps easier knowing they have a propane detector in the van, then that's a good thing! -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
