Dr. Erik Love, seen in this reflection in his front door window, keeps firewood stacked on his porch in Bozeman, Montana, because when the millennium turns, he assumes that power will be lost across the nation. He's been aware of trouble with Y2K since 1992 when, he says, a spirit warned him to start saving food and get a generator. "I got a spiritual urge, like an itch, I had to scratch it," he says of Y2K preparations.
