Firefighter Angelika

Michael Angelika recently completed her earthquake course with the fire department and, like a responsible firefighter, immediately put everything into practice. She packed two earthquake boxes (as she calls them) and included old shoes (in case you're surprised in your sleep, you need to quickly put on shoes to walk through broken glass), water for three days, some food, clothing, and emergency sleeping bags made of aluminum foil. If there is no earthquake, the boxes are also good for the turn of the millennium, as many people fear that electricity or water, or even worse, my internet connection, could fail--or everything at once--because everything is controlled by computers, which, as is well known, could have difficulties entering the new millennium due to potential programming errors. Experts call it the Year-2000 or Y2K bug. A colleague told me that he bought barrels of mineral water--along with a gun to defend his supplies if necessary.
