Locally, certain store policies made the news: no returns on generators at
the farmer's supply stores (Quality Farm and Fleet, for those in the U.S.
who have heard of them). The same store chain was also asking city residents
not to buy generators because there weren't enough to go around for their
usual rural customers who buy them from time to time, anyway,
Y2K-notwithstanding.

Happy 0-|99 to all!!! I might be working, but I'm working from home, so
just watched my PDP-11/73 roll over about 7 minutes ago, which means the
first Y2K bug I've seen is it's date function :^(
