My pets tell me that it's Y14K in dog years! My concession to the
hysteria is I bought batteries for the radio and enough bottled water
for two days. Bible scholars say that Jesus, such a nice Jewish boy,
was born during the Augustus census -- which would've been in
October or September [not Dec. 25th] and actually several years
earlier than 1A.D. So, the "real" Christian millennium, predictions and
all, has come and gone w/o the concern and fan fare that we now have.
But, of course there are now the computers. In 1980, when I was a paid
computer geek, we sat around and discussed the 2 digit/4 digit date
problem. Can't believe in almost 20 years nothing significant was done
to avoid worldwide doom. I am not too worried. I can always cook up a
wonderful pan of fried crickets or a stew from what my kitties bring
home.
If death and destruction is the way of the new year, I guess people will
be
forced into the paleo WOE once the stores of Twinkies and peanut butter
are gone. ]v[arsha in Texas
