For me, it was New Year’s Day. Such a big fuss was made about Y2K for months, or maybe more than a year. Everyone was in a big frenzy about the potential for computers to shut down, the electrical grid to stop working, and on and on and on. People were scared. They bought generators and extra food in case there were problems where the trucks couldn’t get food to the stores or cash registers stopped working. Companies had Y2K committees and towns had Y2K committees and boards and everyone was trying to be prepared in every way possible. I remember going to visit friends for New Year’s Eve. We were all a little nervous. The ball dropped, everyone said happy new year to each other, the lights remained on, it was very anti-climactic, and then we went home.
