Every morning when I drive to work, I hit the red light at Luna and Beltline. I almost always have my window rolled partway down, and as I sit there, waiting for the light to cycle, I can smell gas.
That is, not my own or my car’s gas, but natural gas - that methyl mercaptan stinkiness that makes me want to double check to make sure the pilot light is on.
There are a few pipes sticking out of the ground about ten yards behind the southeast corner (I think) that I assume are gas lines.
It never smells when I’m driving home.
Is this a bad thing? Have I lucked out every morning the past seven months in that I haven’t been asphyxiated or turned into a blackened phouka? Should I notify someone?
