Y2K was 26 years ago, hard to believe. doesn't seem that long to me. How about you?

If you don't know what Y2K is, you didn't miss anything  except mass hysteria in certain places.  lol

    At the time I remember thinking something along the lines of, "Well, January 2 has arrived, just like any other day. Everything is the same. just like yesterday. And the day before."

    :)

    My perception of the passing of time has become turbo charged.  I simply cannot comprehend it sometimes.  I am not a big hater but I really do hate this.

      Wow, I haven’t thought about that day for ages. Thanks for posting this, it shows I didn’t realize how long it’s been, but it brings back some good memories.

    Y2K?  Glad they were godd memories.  I was at a Pick a Part and purchased a brake drum for a Mercedes, later had it powder coated and had plans for an art project.  The business next to Pick a Part closed the owner was all afraid there would be riot in the streets, closed and left town.  Yawn...nothing happened, no computer shut downs, just another day, lol.
