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
