Basically in Greenwich, Connecticut with the prolonged Obama recession or depression, we have returned to our pre Ronald Reagan days of little old ladies living off of tea and toast.  We are sort of lucky here, because someone from Lipton tea used to belong to the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and with all of the competing tea merchants, we have a lot of other teas for sale here.  We have a nuclear power plant nearby in Indian Point, New York to keep the tea warm if you can afford the electricity, but I think our electricity here in Greenwich, Connecticut comes mostly from Natural Gas out of Bridgeport, Connecticut; and I have to pretend I do not know anyone in the natural gas business.  Also we have the George Weston Bakeries Arnold bread factory here, so we also have plenty of bread here, but we mostly we only seem to get English muffins on sale, providing the grain trucks from Archer Daniel Midland arrive from Decatur, Illinois; but once again I have to pretend that I do not know anyone from Illinois.  Basically living off of tea and toast in a town where the town motto is frugality and fortune is sort of the norm here, so long term residents generally do not expect anything to get better unlike the more affluent republican days of old when the Rockefeller Exxon group could afford to occasionally visit us here in this neck of the woods at our various sporting clubs.  Since they all moved to Texas, I guess we have to wait until warmer weather, when some of them might once again return to this area of their former happy hunting grounds.

Note: <888> 02/27/10 Saturday 11:55 P.M..  I went out after the last note.  I stopped by the front of CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I had a cigarette.  I did not go inside.  There is a small store Christopher Pficher south of CVS that has a small collection of clothing items and a store in East Hampton and one elsewhere I forget.  I then went downtown, and I cleaned off the snow at the two benches at the veterans monument and the four benches at the Greenwich Post Office and the three benches in front of the Senior and the Arts center.  I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  The new Belgium Bakery was having a big party, and it was full of people.  I sat out at various locations.  After my walk, I used the bathroom at Starbucks when it was just closing.  It seemed to have its usual regulars.  I was sitting out by the veterans monument, and a couple was walking black Scottie, and they told me the white one is called a West Highland Terrier.  When we used to live near Dorothy Bush, one of the neighbors had a black and white one.  They reminded the Scotch Whisky with the black and white ones is called "Black and White".  Back in the good old days when Chemstrand was more profitable and Stillman Rockefeller was on the board of directors of Monsanto that owned half of Chemstrand, the Chemstrand company DC3 use to fly up to Scotland all of the time and bring back cases of Scotch whisky which I guess made the officers of the company more cheerful.

I next drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  There were a half dozen houses across the street from the Indian Harbor House that appeared to be without electricity.  There were two Verizon trucks working there on a underground cable access opening.  I then returned home.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/27/10 Saturday 7:15 P.M..  At The Genographic Project - Human Migration, Population Genetics, Maps, DNA - National Geographic , my maternal Boven family from the Netherlands DNA comes up with project kit ID "FW563MQX5N"  which tracks them into Western Europe and Scandinavia and Eastern Europe and India out of Africa and the Middle East.

More interesting is that my paternal father's Y chromosome DNA of the Scott family that has been in the U.S.A. for 400 years comes up with project ID "FWTY9438M7" which tracks them out of Africa to the Middle East and then to India and then to Russia and then to Western Europe including Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Middle Western Europe and Spain.  Thus the Scott family is a well traveled family.

Of course the National Geographic test does not give a time line for the family DNA evolution, but more than likely the evolution of mankind spreading to the north had to do with the thawing after the ice ages.   CIO

And low and behold, I found an older model like new white Krups espresso cappuccino machine with all of its accessories, so I put that out on the left kitchen counter by the coffee grinders to have available to make single cups of coffee.

As I always said, one's own best thrift shop is one's apartment or house.  I bought the white Krups machine for about $5 half price a few years ago at the old Greenwich Hospital thrift shop.  The new Greenwich Hospital thrift shop no longer carries electronics, so old electronics must be ending up elsewhere in the area, possibly the Salvation Army store in Port Chester, New York.  Who knows?

I still have the like new black Braun coffee maker in the kitchen, but I never make that much coffee.  CIO

After the inspection, I started reducing clutter.  I threw out the Northgate Syntax computer and the bedroom Gigabyte computer.  I put the Abit computer in the bedroom with its accessories.  I put the 19 inch LCD monitor from the Abit as the second 19 inch LCD monitor on the FIC server.  I also put the Abit control panel on the FIC server.  I moved the Northgate control panel to the Abit computer in the bedroom.  I threw out the 20 inch Dell CRT monitor that was connected to the Epox computer, and I moved the EIZO 19 inch LCD monitor that was connected to the Northgate as a second monitor on the Epox computer.  I gave the building custodian the Primary Dell Latitude CS laptop computer and its accessories.  I gave the second Dell Latitude CS laptop computer to a neighbor.  I gave the Toshiba laptop to another neighbor.  I threw away the small computer table that the Northgate Syntax computer sat on.  I threw away the Sony TV stand that sat on the oak coffee table, and I also threw away the oak coffee table that was in the middle of the room along with one of the office chairs that I had found at the train station and repaired.  I gave the HP C4280 to another neighbor.  I threw out the Visioneer 7600 scanner and the HP LaserJet 6P.  I dusted the areas where I moved items around.  I still have the www.harvard.edu chair next to a small mahogany tea table with the telephones on them.  I put the 14 inch Panasonic television on the back side of the brass and glass end table at the rear of the Epox monitor left FIC monitor.  I arrange the bric-a-brac around.  I now have two vacant places at the dining table.  I threw out two old broken speaker systems.  I chatted with neighbors briefly, when giving them the items.  I chatted with a relative.

Overall the apartment looks a lot better and more spacious in the living room, but I will still have to move more items, when they install the double pane windows, but with the items removed that I got rid of, it will make it easier.  CIO    

Note: <888> 02/22/10 Monday 12:30 P.M..  I woke up during the night, and I ate 70% of a 10 ounce can of CVS deluxe mixed nuts.  I finally woke up at 10 A.M. this morning.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a 50% to 50% mixture of fruit juice punch and cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with truvia and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I straightened up the apartment a bit.  I threw out the garbage.  The Section 8 Greenwich Housing Authority inspector is here, and she said she would inspect my apartment in about 15 minutes.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/06/10 Saturday 11:55 A.M..  On a minor point of dispute, back in August 1980, I had either a heart attack or a stroke.  They gave me the Last Rights at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in Manhattan, and then they refused me treatment.  I went to the Greenwich Hospital that also refused me treatment.  I thus gave up on the East Coast, and I flew to California and Maui, Hawaii; where I did aerobics, and I worked out at the gymnasium at the pool at the Hyatt Hotel in La Hainia, Maui.  I got myself in better shape.  I met Joel in Laguna Beach who had a beach house there, and his roommate was the officer in charge of Camp Pendleton.  They took me to lunch at Dana Point in California.  When I eventually returned to the East Coast, I felt better; so possibly they have better medicine in California or Maui.  I slept quite a bit when I was in Maui, so maybe it was at one of those secret hospitals where they give one treatment without the patient knowing it.  I have been doing better since then, since I try to keep physically active despite the two pack a day cigarette habit I have.  Whatever the real story, the local idiots here in Greenwich, Connecticut do not know it all.  I have been under constant medical supervision here in Greenwich, Connecticut for the last 26 years, so I tend to rest a lot and try to get exercise when the weather is not too bad.

On the apartment window problem, the Greenwich Housing Authority representative that I chatted with yesterday has never seen my apartment that I created with over 20 years of constant work.  Thus I feel, I know the over situation better than a casual observer.  If I ever need to get rid of some of my furniture or computer items, I can always throw a tag sale, but at today's prices, they would be a lot more expensive to replace if needed.   CIO

Ronald W. Reagan (president of United States) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia 

I attended Ronald Reagan's inaugural in January 1981 on a very cold day.  It was a very joyous event, and I got to see him several times that day including at the Metal of Honor reception at the Hilton Hotel.  Of course I knew Jimmy Carter's people too, so I also got to see all of them.   When I attended George H.W. Bush's inaugural in January 1989, it was even colder, so instead of standing out in the cold, my friends and I watched it on television while we had lunch at the Dutch Inn where we were staying in Georgetown.  I went back down to Washington D.C. one more time after that, possibly the following year, when it was zero degrees Fahrenheit, and President Bush was away in Argentina, so they were doing maintenance at the White House http://mikelouisscott.com/mlsdc.jpg , so I got to see some of the formal sitting rooms.  I liked the big old gold Steinway piano in the lobby.  The Van Buren room caught my eye, since in the old days, people were smaller, so the furniture looked very delicate like only tiny people could sit in it.  It sort of reminded me of an elderly lady's well maintained house suitable for tea parties and chamber music events.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/06/10 Saturday 8:00 A.M..  I threw out the garbage.  No snow flurries yet.  Nobody moving around in the building yet.

Of course, if one were in North American Aerospace Defense Command, one could probably hitch a ride to the Winter Olympics, but you would have to be able to prove it, if you get my drift, and not be any sort of pretend Hollywood Actor type.  Having lived around NORAD when I was in Florida Keys, when they would come down from Homestead Air Force base on weekends, I have a bit of first hand experience to know they are a rather formidable professional group. 

In the old days, NORAD personnel were required to carry side arms at all times, and to be on alert status in case called into action.  From what I know now, today they spend a lot of time looking at computers, and are sort of totally oblivious to the outside world.

Of course, if I really were in the www.af.mil or the Canada's Air Force / Bienvenue à la Force aérienne du Canada, they could also move my whole apartments contents any where in the world, but alas I am just a civilian that reads civilian news about the military, and from what I know which is not too much, the guy that looked like Tom Watson in Key West, Florida might have been Charles Lindbergh Charles Lindbergh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a retired U.S. Air Force Four Star General if you get my drift.  CIO

Note: <888> 02/06/10 Saturday 7:05 A.M..  If one were thinking about attending the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games Medals Results Schedule Sports : Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics , one could probably fly Air Canada: Flights, Airline Tickets, Airfare Deals, Car Rental, Hotels & Vacations .  I still have my Air Canada flight bag that somebody that looked like Tony Snowden gave me in Toronto, Canada in December 1983.  Of course, one would need a U.S. Passport to enter and return from Canada, and if one had another passport from some other country, you would probably need a Canadian Visa.   All of that can take time. 

Richard Van Marter | Real Estate Agent once told me he knew Hilary Clinton's interior decorator U.S. Department of State , but he does not return his telephone calls anymore, so that probably would not work to expedite matters.

If one had the proper documents, and one knew His Highness the Aga Khan's 73rd Birthday - Mowlana Hazar Imam's 73rd Birthday - December 13, 2009 , one might get a free ride on his private Canadian Bombardier Inc. jet, but since he is legally a Swiss Citizen, you would probably need a Swiss passport and a Canadian Visa. 

One probably could not take the train, since I do not think the trains run across Canada in the winter, but you probably could take Amtrak www.amtrak.com  across country in the United States and travel up the west coast of the Unites States.

If one were a Road Warrior with the proper documents, one might try driving the direct route across the northern United States on Interstate 90 West, but that could be hazardous this time of year in the far north country, except for maybe a trucker with a big truck.

Another safer longer way would be try drive from Greenwich, Connecticut to Jacksonville, Florida on Interstate 95 South for 15 hours and 22 minutes or 972 miles, and the on Interstate 10 West from Jacksonville, Florida to San Diego, California or 36 hours and 2,341 miles, and then from San Diego, California to Victoria, British Columbia 22 hours and 31 minutes or 1,351 miles for a total of 63 hours and 53 minutes and 4,664 miles from Greenwich, Connecticut to Victoria British Columbia the long way around versus the direct route through the cold mountainous north country of 2 days and one hour or 2,996 miles.

Of course either way, one could stop by Redmond, Washington nearby to see how simply the Microsoft www.microsoft.com computer people live, and wish you had known someone from The Boeing Company .  CIO

Basically from what I know the REAL SECURITY PROBLEM in this area is that the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant was built around 1974 and 1976 Indian Point Energy Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Indianpoint Website, so since it was built to last 25 years, it technically could present a security problem if there are any malfunctions in its operations.
