Y2K HOME ARE YOU READY? BUG WATCH MILLENNIUM CELEBRATIONS until the year 2000 Y2K Special Report >> Are you ready for 2000? Check off everything you have done, then press the button. Our patented Readiness-O-Meter™ will tell you how you stand. (It runs on JavaScript, which we are told is Y2K compliant.) Water: one gallon per person per day, for three days Canned food you would actually eat (see: Pantry Paella) A manual can opener Flashlights and fresh batteries Some cash -- a few days' worth, not your life savings Printed copies of important bank and insurance statements A full tank of gas Prescription medicines refilled Your VCR's clock set correctly (bonus: it has never been) A generator you know how to use safely, outdoors A bunker 4,000 cans of beans A party to go to, or a good book and a warm blanket Score: Verdict: This checklist is for entertainment. For real advice, ask your local emergency-management office, which has been waiting all year for someone to call.
