Ms. Shultz said Mr. Beier told her that he wanted to be able to spend more time with his family.   Regarding the city progress with the Y2K problem, she said: "I am not comfortable with where the city is.   "My concern . . . with the city stems from the fact we are still developing what priorities will be established and the remedial action to be taken.'' . . .   ===========   She is 'not comfortable' with where the city is at in its 'progress'. She has all of a sudden developed a burning maternal instinct to spend some quality time with the kiddies.     Toledo is not the only city in this predicament, but rather, is demonstrative of where the majority of them are.   It is most amazing how these honchos develop such familial desires as the failure to reach their deadlines approach.   Here are a few more that you will hear:   "I promised my son that I would take him trout fishing. In Alaska."   "Selling my Company stocks has NOTHING to do with Y2K."   "All my life, I wanted to devote myself to agriculture, and now, that I have reached this point in my life, just a few short working days from the advent of any possible Y2K consequences when I will be sorely needed, I have reached deep down inside myself and have made the difficult and heart-wrenching decision to allow my sub-ordinates to step forth  and shine in my abscence, while I lay aside the mantle of CIO, and don the frock of a common country gentleman. I have the deepest regard for their abilities and they have earned the right to step into this leadershop position."       http://www.toledoblade.com/editorial/news/9f16y2k.htm -- Paul Milne If you live within five miles of a 7-11, you're toast.

I live about sixty miles away from Toledo.

And I ain't gettin' one inch closer.

Well Randolph...don't inch towards Kansas either.Looks like we'll have zippo power and I'm *still* waiting for my State tax return! And do NOT head West to Wyoming. Their State remediation directors have both quit and headed for Jackson Hole (I think they're lookin' for caves...he, he, he) We now know California is warming up the toaster. D.C. is death just waiting to happen (but Flint says we can live without 90% of the Government anyway). Now that I think about it, is there ANY State that's looking really good in the Y2K game? Who wants to call Koskinen? Let's ask HIM. Hmmmmmmmm We need more ammo.

Will continue:

I wonder what proportion of state and government officials will be resigning and heading for the hills. Toledo needs all the help it can get!

There's a worker who commutes from Toledo every workday. He's a total DGI and isn't worried. He lives in an apartment with his wife and daughter. He's a hockey buff, so WTSHTF, he can defend his family by whacking intruders with his hockey stick. He'll say, "Puck you!"
