“Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.” Woody Guthrie (1912-1967, bio link)

WARNING: COMBUSTION SYSTEMS AHEAD
There may be many different types of combustion systems you encounter every day. For some people there may be hundreds or even thousands where extreme automotive interactions occurs. An average neighborhood dweller may encounter a half a dozen or so before lunch (excluding cars & trucks).
Because of the large number of potential CO sources especially in urban areas, it is a highly recommended practice for responders to CO alarm calls and other servicing technicians to measure and know how much carbon monoxide is outside in the air before entering a building; this means home health care providers as well.
