<<Why is Y2K causing the need for generators?...If I lived on a farm I would want one, not because of Y2K, but just in case the power goes out from the many reasons it does anyways.>> Great point, Cheeky. It's basically what I tell people all the time: Think about what you would do if the power went out and you had little or no information about how long it might be out (I live in blizzard-country, too). Y2K, ...whatever. It's still a good exercise in planning and considering what a person's options might be. Sure beats freezing your butt off and not having any food. But it (being caught without minimum provisions/preparation) happens frequently to lots of people. <<Interesting, when the power goes out, the world still turns, the moon still shines, the sun still rises, the stars twinkle in the sky.>> Outstanding! You and I, I think, are on the same plane of thinking; the semantics just get in the way sometimes. Best. And Peace to you, too. Looking forward to your next post.
