 that the rest of civilization seemed to be in good shape, I thought how

Having given considerable thought to all the "gloom and doom" predictions, 
I've come to the conclusion that the warnings are the reason for nothing 
happening.  So many people I talked to decided to stay close by home in case 
..... That nothing serious happened may be a result of many people staying 
home and not being out on the road, at parties (drinking) or whatever. We had 
a great New Year's Eve in our community .... a potluck dinner, burying a time 
capsule (whoever unearths it in 2099 is going to find some really interesting 
stuff), and train rides on the Swanton Pacific Railroad, followed by train 
whistles blowing and fireworks glowing at midnight.  Lots of fun!
