Here in the Boston area, they've sealed some mailboxes and removed some 
trash cans.  They have also installed STOP signs at "key" intersections.  
Right now, they are covered with dark plastic bags but in case of power 
failure, they'll uncover the signs...

It's already Y2K on the "other" side of the world and so far, no problems in 
New Zealand...
