Every year when we change our clocks for Daylight Saving Time, we should also check the batteries in our smoke alarms and read the JT Irregulars Disclaimer at the bottom of our webpages.
It's a beautiful piece of work. It discourages us from taking ourselves too seriously. If you haven't read it, you should.
My favorite line from the Disclaimer is, "We do not discriminate against the mentally ill!"
Thank God, or I wouldn't be here.

I disclaim the Disclaimer!
Okay, so this is totally crazy...
Right at midnight, my smoke detector goes off with an alarm, and a creepy ladies voice follows, saying, "Low battery." It happens again as I'm trying to get it down from the wall. Had to get a fork to uncram the wedged batteries from it before it sounded again. Such an odd coincidence of timing that it kept me awake for awhile.
It is so loud when you are awake, but they say it is easy to sleep right through it, especially for children.
