testing

 Yesterday I received notice, as did everyone else in my apartment complex, that beginning today radon tests would be done in the two buildings, beginning today and ending Friday.  This is evidently an EPA requirement but they've never done it before in the seven years I've lived here.  I'm really not too concerned about radon since I live on the 10th floor.  When I read the sentence in the notice that said "Your residence may be selected for placement of a measurement device." I laughed, thinking that they certainly weren't going to test apartments on the 10th floor.  In my prior life experience as a homeowner and Realtor radon tests were done in the basement, or, if the house didn't have a basement, then on the first floor of the dwelling.  So when someone knocked on my door at 9:15 this morning I was a little surprised, but, thankfully, dressed.  I am now the proud possessor of not one but two radon tests, side by side, on the wall inside my front door.  I am not allowed to open my windows but I can run my AC.  This is good since it's supposed to be hot and humid for the next couple of days.  I'm also not allowed to touch, move, tamper with, cover or in any other way fool with the tests or they might have to do them over.  I promise I'm not remotely tempted to fiddle with their test packets.  As I said, I'm really not concerned, but if they do find radon on my floor they are going to have a massive mediation project on their hands.
