I'm just thinking out loud relative to your comments (about Y2K) below.  I 
was already, for several years , on this list when that occurred.  I don't 
remember it being a big deal on this list.  It was not a big deal to me 
because I would too technophobic to even understand the 'possibility' of it 
affeccting me.  I don't see this present calamity being anything like Y2K.  
Were you worried about Y2K?  I can't remember.  I just don't remember it 
being a big deal, on this list?

Hopefully, in a couple of years, BO and the Dems will have solved all of the 
world's problems and this event will seem as innocous as the Y2K thing 
(which, to be honest, I still to this day don't understand).  But, I'm not 
pinning any hopes.................

Well, it can be pretty damn hard.  Lynn is right.  I've been at this just in 
this location for twenty years and I've had the hoe and spade and axe in my 
hands on a regular basis much longer than that.  And I still find the 
prospects of survival precarious.
