Date: Sun Dec 26 1999 14:37 gwyz (@strat\Re: White House Nervous about Y2k) ID#44161: Copyright ) 1999 gwyz/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved My father in law is a Big Shot ( CEO ) of a very large and well known Brokerage Firm.

He just spent $13,000 dollars for a Generator, which he has thus far claimed that he had it installed *only* for the local blackouts they get sometimes.

However, there is a big hole in that story. He is a Big Man on Wall Street and part of his job is keeping his mouth shut. He doesnt give his own family "stock tips!" That is why I was suspicious about the reason he gave me for installing the generator. He only gets blackouts in the *Summer!*

My ( unspoken ) suspicions about the true reason for the generator were confirmed this past week when he "Flipped Out" over the fact that the Propane Companies are all telling him they cannot get a Propane Backup Tank for him until the *third week* of January. He is *VERY* upset about it. He has *MONEY* and cannot get a Propane Tank.

Why does he want a Propane Backup when he claims he installed it for local electrical failures in which the Natural Gas still flows? That was his "Stand" on the reason for installing it. QUOTE: "I will have electricity to power my gas furnace. The gas is on when the powe goes out." ( He is very aware of the fact that there is NO GAS during a "regional" outtage ) .

Then why is a BIG MAN ON WALL STREET Sh_tting his pants because he waited until the last minute, and now cannot get a Propane backup for his *$13,000 dollar* Generator. ( $13,000 before installation cost! ) .

Man, anyone who is still laughing at Y2k is so "effed" that I feel very sorry for them.
