Lets see. There was fear that we would have issues with the year 2000. So I kept an extra paycheck out in cash, so I didn't have to deal with crowds of packed idiots, as the banking system knows what panic and fear can do to an economy.
I've avoided going through DUI checkpoints, because I don't drink and have multiple ways I could drive.
I've made sure to have a snow shovel and salt ready.
I think this is all pretty common stuff that is the most useful of any news stuff.
