Greetings and Salutations:
I'd like to add (though my feeling is 'basta"-enough...) that in late 
1998 I was hired by a few high-level marijuana growers to make a report 
on what y2k might mean for the thriving B.C. marijuana industry.  As an 
outspoken and ground breaking (first med-pot grower of any size outside 
of my governments feeble attempt) medical marijuana activist I am quite 
well known inside of these circles.  The first thing I looked into was 
Hanford due to its relative proximity to a certain mega-billion dollar 
pot growing locale within B.C.  I was shocked to see that the surface 
clean up cost was in the low billions(!) and that the leachate was due 
to hit the Columbia 3 years (now!) BEFORE the expected clean up of both 
surface and sub surface contaminants.  Right away, though it added 
nothing to my report, I looked into Los Alamos.  Same thing.  
Contamination was certain before clean up could be effected.
      In December (I believe, the exact date could be wrong...anyone
else 
know?)of 1999 that information was NOT on the upgraded website.  Y2K 
allowed for an immense loss of relevant data on the US (and I assume 
Canadian) governments.  To add insult to injury, both Los Alamos and 
Hanford were intentionally set afire shortly into the new millenium.  
One can only hope that the several billion dollars which were saved via 
a massive atmospheric (intentional...?!) polluting allowed the EPA to 
step up the pace to save the Columbia River.  The same fires threatened 
several high percentage marijuana districts in the Interior of B.C. and 
had the wind drifted (thankfully, it stayed in the US...Canadians 
'neglected' to develop a nuke-weapon industry, though Ontario and hence 
Lake Ontario are highly threatened by the many nukeplants) into those 
regions at least 4 Billion dollars in the underground economy would have

been lost.
     It was this data that got my circle more focused on Permaculture.  
But that's a weak scent to an overwhelming miasma.  Good luck!

More importantly...what does he expect to happen on 12/21/12 that will
cause him to return to his office and/or leave his land? :)

Enquiring minds want to know.
