  Not a problem - we don't use 'em. Rand says they're just one more government intrusion.

  The new ones have 10 year batteries.

  'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

  I wanted to take a survey to see if anyone has ever had the batteries in one of these devices die during the afternoon?
  
  I am pretty sure there is some law of physics which states that these things only fail between the hours of 1AM-4AM.
  
  At 3AM the wife wakes me up and says what is that noise

  Going to work today was like a near death experience. Cappy Duane says he still hates all you mothers.

  My wife is almost obsessive-compulsive about changing the batteries every six months, so I really never had an alarm that wasn't smoke-caused. Same wife left a candle burning on the back porch and it reached a point that it was putting out heavy, black smoke. That shook the place up for a few seconds.
