<Quit the fear-mongering Ken and think about the steps you would implement to get this country through the uncertainty in as orderly a condition as possible.> Any suggestions?? I'm serious. I'm not baiting you. I just find this 72-hr spin govt is putting forth reprehensible. And I'm dmn angry about this "fill up your gas tank at least half-full", or "a little over half-full" bit ... prepare for Y2K like you would for a winter storm. Yet you go to FEMA and Red Cross winter storm site (non Y2K) - and they tell you to fill up so your lines don't freeze. Yeah - little guys are gonna be last in line ... for everything. I'm not panicked. I'm not a fear monger. I'm not chicken-little. I just feel people need to make reasonable* precautions, and current spin by govt is giving false hopes and reassurance. I don't think recommending only 72 hrs is reasonable. I think it's reprehensible. Cheryl P.S. Doing fine. Really enjoy my new life. Fireplace complete. Adjacent built-in bookshelves should be done by Tuesday, in time for a potluck dinner-party for 12. We have a mix of gourmands ... and those who over-cook vegetables:-) Oregon has some pretty good vineyards. My social life has even picked up:-) Dates with various CA & TX "refuges" - a dentist, baritone soloist from SF Opera, and owner of various businesses in Orange county. OOPS - forgot the ex-Detroit cop who puts those fancy trail-rides together for the "rich & famous". My circle of friends is ever-expanding with a very mixed and ecclectic group of people. All down-to-earth, warm, helpful and full of laughter. Been to 3 concerts in past 2 weeks (including one at someone's home for 80 people), a mardi-gras party and St. Patrick's day party. For me - something good came out of all of this dismal Y2K stuff. Fear of the unknown immobolizes people. Once you take action, and control of your life ... things are OK. At least for me, that's been the case.
