Daughter was expecting at the time with our first granddaughter that finally arrived on Feb 29th 2000 (a true leap year baby).

During that 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...)

That is NOTHING but a cool story and thanks for sharing it.
