02/23/16 Tuesday 12:20 A.M.  I chatted with a relative.  I woke up at 11:45 P.M..  This past morning, I chatted with someone downtown wearing a Yellowstone Jacket, and they told me they dealt with a bear in Byram a year ago, so we do have bears in our neighborhood.  Also I figure the Tarrytown Diner off Interstate I-287 is probably making a lot of money with all of the bridge worker working on the new Tapan Zee bridge.  Construction people tend to east a lot of food.  They are working on the brick work on the new building at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue.  Since George Cary moved away to Delaware, I do not know anyone that has a larger viewpoint of the New York area to network with.  He is still involved with horses.  Being on a night schedule for all of these years, the only thing that ever happened was the Tsunami in Japan which was at 1:30 A.M. in the morning our time, and I woke up my friends in Georgia who know CNN people to let them know about it.  They are now still in Manhattan, but they seem to enjoy spending a lot of time in the meat packing district viewing the new art scene down there.  When I covered that neighborhood, it was actually a meat packing district with sides of beef hanging out on West 14th Street.  The Port Authority and the Sanitation Department had the garages on west side piers for maintaining the garbage trucks and buses, so I probably saw a lot of heavy duty mechanics.  They also had the Bermuda Motor Car Company which was a large fleet of Cadillac limousines for VIP visitors.  There was a heliport on West 23rd street.  The Masonic Hall was on West 23rd Street with the Y.M.C.A..  The London Terrace Apartments were on West 23rd Street which was one of the largest apartment complexes in Manhattan.  The Wholesale Florists were north of West 23rd Street.  The Federal Detention Center was down there.  The Anglican Seminary was in that neighborhood.  Back in my day, it was easy to find a parking place down there.  I lived on West 20th street for two months across from Anglican Seminary around the spring of 1974.  My roommates were Yale graduates, and they knew Fred Hughes of Andy Warhol fame.  They though a big luncheon was a watercress salad with Dijon vinaigrette dressing.  I once had Kip Forbes spend the night there, and it turned out his father's townhouse was on the other side of the Anglican seminary.  I once brought in two bags of groceries from the A&P in Greenwich and made a big pot roast beef stew with the vintage pressure cooker.  I even fixed the old RCA television with tubes from the TV repair shot next to the Ninth Circle Pub on West 9th Street.  Moran's bar was in that neighborhood, and they have the tug boat company in New York City. There was also all of the leather bars which had pool tables if one did not mind the company.  The Empire diner was there in those days.  Tony Perkins was a neighbor.  Alas I moved out owing a $5 phone bill, and I could not afford to pay rent.  I did see Andy Warhol at the Ninth Circle, so I must have been around some people from the Factory.  Alas it takes money to live in Manhattan even in the warehouse district.  The most upscale enterprise was Barneys department store.  I shopped at the A&P at Seventh Avenue and about 19th Street.  I once read one of the warehouses down there had a million pounds of frozen butter.  Morgan Manhattan warehouse from the bottom of Greenwich Avenue had a big warehouse down there.  The arts students at New York University had a new dormitory built out of an old railroad warehouse.  Back then the elevated railroad was still there.  The Swedish American cruise lines used to arrived and depart on Christopher Street.  CIO

02/22/16 Monday 5:20 A.M.  I rested some more until 5 A.M..  The local retired physics professor from www.columbia.edu who told me that the local seafood might have radiation poisoning from the Japanese Nuclear power plant that was destroyed in the tsunami also told me that when he worked on repairs at the local Indian Point Nuclear power plant, they did not even have the original blue prints to use to guide them in their repairs.  He died recently from bladder cancer, so there might be some truth in what he told me.  CIO

02/22/16 Monday 3:25 A.M.  Yesterday morning, when I went out for a walk, the Air National Guard had over a hundred military jets flying at high altitude over the New York City area.  It was sort of hard to miss, if one looked up in the sky.  I guess now that fuel is cheaper, they can afford to practice.  CIO

02/22/16 Monday 2:20 A.M.  Andrew Cuomo used to live nearby in Bedford in Richard Van Marter's family's old house before his wife threw him out.  Michael Bloomberg is suppose to have a house in North Castle, New York.  Lowell Weicker now lives in Lyme, Connecticut, but he still has family in Greenwich.  Bill Weld's family used to live in Bedford.  We probably have some foreign residents also.  Maybe we should have a local tax on politicians.  CIO

02/22/16 Monday 1:40 A.M.  I woke up at 1:30 A.M..  Besides being Bush, Rockefeller, and Trump neighbors in Greenwich, Connecticut, we are also Clinton neighbors, since the live nearby north of Westchester County Airport where they generate a lot of jet traffic.  If Hilary gets elected they will change the flight pattern at the airport, so possibly more planes with fly over Greenwich.  There used to be a Bill Clinton look a like in Greenwich, and he was frequently seen in the Greenwich Library wearing a Crested Butte baseball cap.  He told me he lived in a house off Bruce Park.  I once saw Hilary with a neighbor who is postal worker coming out of the former Figaro French restaurant on Greenwich Avenue.   Other neighbors claim, their sister and daughter was Clinton's White House nurse.  Thus we probably have other political operatives in the area.  When I used to visit Scott Nelson and Max in Irvington, New York, I used to see a lot of women with Hilary Clinton's look.  Possibly they were www.army.mil wives with West Point nearby across the Hudson River.  For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a half of a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance Spread, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and, I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  CIO

Where the Rusty Oxer truck repair shop on West Putnam Avenue used to be has become a AAA automobile garage with lots of flat bed tow trucks, if one every breaks down in this area.  I worked the grapevine with 1-800-42GEICO.  CIO

02/14/16 Sunday 1:25 A.M.  I ate a bag of microwave popcorn.  I watched episode 2 of "The Heavy Water War".  When I arrived in Oslo, Norway in February 1983, I was supposed to be traveling to Stockholm, Sweden, but for some reason, the S.A.S. jet landed at a military base near Oslo.  There was about six feet of snow on the ground in Oslo, so maybe Stockholm was snowed in.  I had bought the $799 round trip package on S.A.S. to Stockholm with a week's stay at the S.A.S. hotel.  However, when I showed the ticket at the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo, they told me it was a one way ticket to Stockholm without hotel.  I had paid cash or Barclay's travelers checks for the S.A.S. package tour at J.F.K. airport.  S.A.S. never addressed the problem with me, although I have contacted them and complained many times.  I think I still have the S.A.S. ticket to Stockholm somewhere in my files.  Since I did not have very much money, I stayed for a couple of nights across the street from the Oslo S.A.S. hotel at the Y.M.C.A..  Then they kicked me out for not paying my bill.  I walked around without my luggage on the cold winter's night carrying a light travel bag.  I then walked into the small West Hotel behind the Palace, and I explained that I did not have money, and I needed a room, and I gave them my U.S.A. passport to hold for security.  After about a week there without eating any food but Swedish Wasa Crisps, the United States embassy contacted and interviewed me.  They had my father pay for the Y.M.C.A. and the West Hotel and the return ticket on S.A.S. via Copanhagen to J.F.K. around St. Patrick's Day.  I did drink a little orange juice that was in the hotel room refrigerator.  One night I ever had a Vodka and Tonic at the Oslo S.A.S. hotel discothèque where they were flying a Texas flag with the Norwegian and USA flags.  I used the health club in the basement of the S.A.S. hotel.  Occasionally someone would show up and remove all of the ashtrays, and a lady that looked like Queen Elizabeth II would show up to exercise.  I did attend a concert at the Peace Hall.  I toured both major churches in Oslo.  I walked the main street between the train station and the Palace quite a bit.  I went to the Cat's discothèque that had all of the pictures of the race horse "Nobel Dancer".  I toured the new Town Hall.  IBM and Shell oil had big office building there.  I toured the Frogmore Park after a fresh snow fall.  There were young people smoking marijuana outside the palace near the green houses.  One of the Royal Norwegian guards told me, in the Norwegian Navy they smoked rope, when they ran out of Virginia tobacco.  I had to walk through the Palace Grounds and through the under building walkway to get from the West Hotel to the main street in Oslo.  I sort of blended in, so nobody really noticed I was there.  The United States marine at the U.S. embassy looked to be well fed and in good shape.  All of the older women I saw in the United States embassy were knitting sweaters.  The two girls that were desk clerks at the West Hotel were eating chocolate all of the time. They built a French restaurant in the hotel while I was there called George Du Bouef.  I visited a college pub in the basement of a large old church.  I visited the University of Oslo and its library.  I wore my new Brooks Brother New Zealand brown leather bombers jacket that I had bought for half price of $200 at Brooks Brothers in Manhattan.  I also had my British Royal Air Force artic parka in my luggage that I never wore.  It was a British Survivalon Parka that I had bought at the Norwalk factory store for $179.  I guess since I blended in with the Norwegians nobody even noticed that I was there.  I bought the Swedish Wasa Crisp crackers at the local small food shop for $2.  I did not know the food at the buffet was included in the hotel bill that my father paid for.  My bathroom floor was heated, so I would wash my laundry in the sink and dry it on the floor.  For some reason, I felt hot in the room, so I left the window opened half way all of the time in the winter in Oslo, so I guess I was a cold weather Nordic person.  The Unites State embassy person gave me a ride to the civilian airport, and my return ticket and a $100 bill.  I used $40 of it in Copenhagen to buy two cartons of Prince cigarettes, but I did not leave the airport in Copenhagen.  When I arrived back at J.F.K. airport the week before Easter, I camped out at the S.A.S. boarding area for a week observing the airport and walking around the airport.  After Easter, I called up my friend at the garage apartment at Plandome Manor, and I took the Long Island railroad there, and my friend gave me a $100 which I used to fly from J.F.K. back to Nantucket where I started working at the Le Languedoc restaurant after working at India House.  Possibly I flew off Nantucket, to LeGuardia and back for a couple of days in Manhattan in May, where I checked out some pubs.  About that time, I read in the New York Times out on Nantucket that the Mianus River Bridge had fallen down in Greenwich, Connecticut; so I knew Greenwich, Connecticut was a mess, and I did not return to Greenwich until December 1983.  I left Nantucket in October 1983, and I visited Kennebunkport, and I drove down to Vero Beach, Florida with a relative.  I then went to Fort Lauderdale where I was during the tropical storm during the Grenada Invasion.  I saw about five thousand very tall white people at the beach area.  There was an eight foot tall oil portrait of General Omar Bradley in the lobby of the Bahia Mar Marina.  I met Ryan Robinson from Toronto.  I drove over to Newport Richey to visit my father and his wife.  I then drove back to Vero Beach and returned back up north to work on Nantucket.  At Thanksgiving Time, I caught a plane with Jackie Onassis out of Hyannis to LeGuardia.  I then took the Amtrak to Toronto.  I slept on the couch of the Anglican seminary at the University of Toronto for about two weeks walking around the City.  I then took the Amtrak back down to New York City.  I walked around Manhattan for a about a week.  I would snooze at the East Side Airline terminal in the early morning hours, and clean up at the tennis club on the second floor.  I did not contact any of my New York friends, since I did not have their telephone numbers or know where they were living exactly.  I had George Cary's telephone in Sands Point, and I knew John Bolton was at his grandmother's at Plandome Manor, and I think Fred Von Mierers was at his old apartment at 420 East 49th street.  Possibly, since I was bit tanned from Nantucket and Florida, nobody recognized me.  I stayed in the Greenwich Hospital for a week with swollen ankles.  I then walked around Manhattan for another week.  I then stayed in the Greenwich Hospital for another week, where they gave me a complete $7,500 medical physical which determined that I was disabled.  Then my Greenwich Social Work got me a $225 a month room on the third floor of 100 Milbank Avenue around Christmas Time, and I have been back in Greenwich ever since.  Actually in this cold weather about zero degrees Fahrenheit right now, there is suppose to be a warming station in the lobby of the new Greenwich Public Safety building downtown.  CIO
