I remember that the Spoilers decided not to go over to the big city (Charlotte, NC) for NYE ‘2000 in case there was confusion in getting home with no traffic lights or whatever. We went to a Japanese steakhouse in our small town with our oldest daughter and son-in-law. Daughter was expecting at the time with our first granddaughter that finally arrived on Feb 29th 2000 (a true leap year baby).
During that new year’s eve time, I directed a workforce at an aircraft repair facility and I had some maintenance guys scheduled to be there at midnight to check for damage or failures. They reported NOTHING.
As we all know now, turns out the whole deal was the great Y2K hoax cooked up by the IT guys that wanted to make lots of overtime for a year or two.... LOL
(And for the record, the granddaughter will celebrate her 5th real birthday this February again on the 29th... She is doing well...)
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE. WISHING YOU ALL NOTHING BUT A HAPPY, HEALTHY, SAFE AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
