It's now the 10th.

Back during the Y2K scare, bet it's hard for the under 25 crowd to remember that issue, I was talking with a guy. He said everything with a chip in it was going to stop working at mid-night.

I told him my coffee pot was too stupid. It didn't care if it was 1900 or 2000. It just knew that if it didn't have the coffee perked by 5:30AM I was going to kick it's butt out the back door and get it's replacement.

At 5:30AM I had coffee and later the Wife's car started as she went off sale hunting. Car must have been stupid also. It seemed everything worked.

Be ready - but deal with what happens.
