Do you ever catch yourself in mid-something and wonder what crazy world you are living in---preping like mad to finish the last bits and walking and working in a DGI world, doing the routine---tomarrow and tomarrow passes to a like infinity? Do you ever get the urge to run yelling to GET WITH IT!!! I sure do---figured that this type of responce would stop after a while---it hasn't. The numbness comes ripping off and the rawness of my fears bleeds.

It's really nuts. I was in Staples and asked the clerk if he was prepared for Y2K. He said he was. We talked a while--then, it turned out he didn't mean prepared!!! He meant he had his system prepared. I said, "But what about food and water??" Nahhhh. Oh man... Yes, it's a totally crazy disconnect and my heart, my physical, genuine, heart is going pitty pat faster and faster when I think of what's coming...

Dosen't it make you wonder where they left their brains. I sometimes ask them where their brains are, they aren't always happy with me. I don't give a care, you have a brain or it is lost maybe they can find it in time or maybe not ,they have been told by me. They can take what I tell them or not thats up to them. So I have done my part the best I can what come is up to them.
