According to http://www.geocities.com/mikescottnote/06021400.htm , I bought it at Partridge and Rockwell on West Putnam Avenue here in Greenwich, Connecticut on June 9, 2000 for $550 and $35 tax for $585 total.    Thus in what I have paid in service contracts for seven years with the first year free, I could have pretty much have bought one of the newer ones listed about for about $459 and tax.   I could call them up about the broken moving louvers on the current unit, but I do not think at this point they would give me a new one and deliver it and install it for free, but they have had the use of my money for all of these years which might be worth another $50 to a $100.   Well at least I am covered until September 12, 2007.   Of course this time of year, they could easily fix it or replace it, and during the warmer weather, they might not be available right away.  Seven years ago, I was able to transport if from Partridge and Rockwell myself in the back of my old Volvo, and I was able to move it upstairs on the building skateboard, and I was able to install it.   One winter, I actually took it out, and reinstalled it the following spring which is way too much trouble.  However, when I researched them the last few years, I noticed these units who web site currently does not work Panasonic Consumer Electronics - Window Air Conditioners Learn More ,  in that they were more compact for the same BTU ratings, so they might be able to be more easily removed from the window for the winter.  Of course big bucks always go for Friedrich Air Conditioning - Multiple Solutions. One Trusted Name. ,   but for most of this summer, I seem to be covered.  Of course if the current model G.E. air conditioner continues to work this summer, and if I did not renew the service contract for another year when it expires September 12, 2007, I might not be able to afford to buy one when and if it did fail.   There would be two options for me if relatives could not finance me, one would be to buy one on credit from Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! , which has limited supply in the higher BTU range, or they have inexpensive 12,000 BTU units from www.homedepot.com for about $359 and tax last summer  The Home Depot: Shop Appliances online.  However, when I have the time, I might call up my General Electric air conditioner service contract people and have a chat with them.  www.cl-p.com  has been giving out new 5,000 BTU units to the tenants that applied for them, but in my particular case 15,000 BTU is just barely enough.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/30/07 Friday 1:50 A.M.:  If you want to see other Tuckers, try news at :: The Official Tucker Club of America :: .  I think the reason, automobile manufacturers did not go with the three headlight design, although it was brighter, is that most people have two eyes, and the third headlight tended to cause an hypnotic effect for oncoming drivers.  Of course a lot of individuals try to do reverse engineering in this country, and for all I know Thomas' English muffins that drop so many crumbs in toasters and toaster ovens are a fire hazard, and in the old days, General Electric toaster ovens were such a fire hazard with the metal screw that secured the hot plug housing connector to the toaster unit about 1/3 of an inch above the counter, that General Electric sold its toaster oven division to Black and Decker, and Black and Decker did some mortifications.   Since the General Electric toaster oven design did not change for over 20 years, although people acknowledged the problem, it makes one wander about other General Electric www.ge.com products such as aircraft engines and nuclear reactors and locomotives.   It says here GE :: Housewares - Product Details , they still sell them.   I wonder if that hot electrical screw is further off the counter on the bottom side.  One relative burned three kitchen counters with the G.E. toaster oven, and if you cook a potato in it, it can get really hot.  I use to keep one that I have on an old hard wood cutting board, and it always had burn marks beneath the toaster oven on the cutting board where it got hot.   I still have the cutting board underneath my General Electric microwave oven which seems to be safer.   Being the Pack Rat that I am, I still have the G.E. toaster oven underneath the counter in the far left cabinet, just to the left of the General Electric stove that I only use the burners on, since it is cheaper to use the Farbareware convection oven on top of the Westinghouse refrigerator that probably will not get a burn mark.   When I first moved in here 17.5 years ago, they had General Electric refrigerators installed made in Decatur, Alabama, but after about 9 years, they installed the Westinghouse Frost Free refrigerators.  One had to defrost the old General Electric freezers.   We do not have room for automatic dishwashers here,  and quite frankly as a retired individual with some dishwashing experience, washing a few dishes is not a problem.  CIO 

Note:<888> 03/30/07 Friday 1:25 A.M.:   I noticed when I got out and observed from the pier on Steamboat Road today that the replacement house at the former Watson www.ibm.com house location seems sensible.  It is a "L" shaped two story house with gables, and the short side back or base of the "L" faces north with the long side inside of the "L" facing east up Long Island Sound.   Thus when the cold north wind and the cold northwestern winds blow, the opened "L" area facing east and south will be better protected from the cold winter winds.   It is wood frame, and it looks to be about five thousand square feet.   The Victor Borge vacant lot just north of it on the waterfront is still vacant, so maybe some rich person plans to land their helicopter there some day.   If the mad hatter Hilary Clinton gets elected President, the flight pattern for Westchester County - AirportMonitor - by Megadata - powered by PASSUR will be changed from not flying over the Belle Haven section and southwestern Greenwich, and they will probably start flying several hundred planes a day over that area, since Hilary lives in some unglamorous town north of the airport, but as President the planes would not be able to fly over her home to the north, so they would have to fly over our area.   That is really the only political agenda in the area, so obviously some young Turks north of Westchester airport seem to think they have more influence until they have to pay their mortgages.   There are a lot of California type homes built in the ravine area of the area north of the airport, so possibly the high tech California types think they know better, but why do they spend so much time hanging out here trying to network, instead of their own backyard in Armonk, New York.  Maybe the California types like shopping for dresses on Greenwich Avenue, but more than likely they are shopping for what is shopping for the dresses.   Locally they are called "Trophy Wives" .  People with money do strange things until they have their days in court with the divorce lawyers.  CIO 

Note:<888> 03/30/07 Friday 12:45 A.M.:  I made up a batch of Michael Louis Scott's Microwave Oven Rice Recipe, and I also added a beef bullion cube and a teaspoon of Kikkoman soy sauce.  I put about 1.5 cups of baby carrots and broccoli crowns in a Revere pot with steamer tray and an inch of water and lid, and I steamed them for 15 minutes on medium high electric burner heat.  For the last 10 minutes I put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a 10 inch stick proof frying pan with a few pads of margarine, and I heated it medium high electric burner heat.   I then put in an eight ounce hamburger in the frying pan and a medium large onion peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices, and I seasoned the burger and onions on both sides with garlic pepper, ground black pepper, and chicken and meat seasoning, and I cooked them on medium to medium high electric burner heat flipping them frequently for about 4 minutes a side, and for the last two minutes, I put on a couple of teaspoons of Kikkoman soy sauce and on top of the burger I put two 3/16th inch by 1.25 inch by 4 inch thick slices of New York State extra sharp cheddar cheese, and I put a lid on, and I steamed the cheese for a couple of minutes.   I then put the vegetables in a bowl with a little bit of olive oil on them.   I put the burger on a dinner plate with the sautéed onions over them, and I put half the rice on the dinner plate and the other half in a Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.   I was told recently that the New York Mafia has been meeting frequently recently in an inconspicuous coffee shop up in Bedford Village, New York just north of Greenwich, Connecticut.   They must have money, since most people I know in Greenwich, Connecticut can not afford to drive up to Bedford Village, New York.   Bedford Village, New York is such a labyrinth of roads, anyone could live up there, or come and go from any direction, so it is hard to tell.   I am not familiar with the area too much, so I do not know which coffee shop.   As a kid, I use to have drinks at a small Inn just west of Bedford Village about half way to the Shell station towards www.ibm.com , and I can not recall the name of the Inn, but I recall they had a nice fire place in their bar room area.   People try to keep me away from Bedford Village, New York, since I apparently use to look so much like some electronics guru up there, they mistook me for him as a youth.   I recall the individual was in the class behind me at the The Taft School , his name was Tommy Tucker of the automobile family fortune, and they branched out into Tucker Electronics - Sales of New, Refurbished, and Used Electronic Test Equipment which does not sell much that the average layman would need, but more than likely they are a U.S.A. Defense Department contractor, and like all Defense Department contractors, the government would keep surveillance on them.  If you don't know what this is All About Used and New Oscilloscopes , you probably need to go back to electronics school.  I recall in my days of testing Polaroid Land Cameras, the old high speed black and white install roll film was heavily used by France's Nuclear Development Agency or whatever it is called today.  Thus more than likely it was used by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory agency, and as such Polaroid would have been classified as a Defense contractor besides working on the development of the Norden bombsight NORDEN BOMBSIGHT , so more than likely former Polaroid employees still have surveillance on them like any other former government defense contractors.  CIO  

Note:<888> 03/29/07 Thursday 10:50 P.M.:   I ate a serving of the Ramen chicken noodle soup that I make my way with a cup of water before going to bed.  I woke up at noon.   I chatted with a relative.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a teaspoon of Certo with vitamins and supplements, and coffee.  I made the bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.   I showered, and I cleaned up.   I went out to my usual Thursday 3 P.M. appointment.   I next went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.   Some of their ever changing line of merchandise is 50% off.   I then drove over to Staples in Old Greenwich, Connecticut.   They refunded to my debit card $28.60 for the two inkjet refill kits.  I also gave them all of my used inkjet cartridges, and two of them were HP, so I got $3 store credit for each of them, so I bought another three pack of Staples Clamp binders for $6.49 and .03 tax for $6.52 total with the two $3 coupons.  I then returned to the less busy area of central Greenwich, Connecticut, and I went by the convenient Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought four 1.25 inch and four 1 inch thin Phillips machine screws similar to the ones that held the small cooling fan on the heat sink on the video chip on the Epox motherboard in the Epox server for .17 each and .08 tax for $1.44 total.   I then walked the enjoyable year round exercise walk of the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar Store, and I bought a "Money Talks" scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.   I toured the lobby of the Greenwich Train Station, and they have signs out for new train station schedules available starting April 2007, but the new train schedules were already gone.   I chatted with a local resident in front of the senior center.  I chatted with somebody that looks like a famous celebrity from the old days.   I stopped by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank on Greenwich Avenue, where the Bank of New York use to be.   I chatted with some of their staff about some of our local business individuals.   I stopped by CVS, and I chatted with some of their staff.   I completed my walk, and then I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I stopped by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with some of their staff.   I read P.C. Magazine.   I then returned home.  I picked up my mail.  I got one of those suspicious free cruise trips for two tickets  to the Bahamas and a $1,500 voucher at the Ramada Inn in Florida, and a relative said it was probably fraudulent, so I shredded the offer.  I chatted with a relative.  I booted Vista, and I tried tweaking the monitor resolution settings they recommend, but the print is too fine to read, so I restored it to the easier to read settings.  I installed the free QuickTime player update on my computer from www.apple.com , and now the www.chase.com web site does not black out my Vista computer screen for a few seconds.   I had the old Quick Time player, but one needs to the latest free version update to work with Vista I guess, so the Chase web site does not black out for a few seconds.  I know the Rockefellers are not too swift, so maybe they use Apple computers.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/29/07 Thursday 3:50 A.M.:  My little 16 ounce taco meal was very good reheated.  With the higher price of beef in America, www.mcdonalds.com could sell something like it in one of those little Styrofoam containers, and they could call it the "Big Mex" .  Since there is not much meat in the burrito filling, there is probably about two ounces of meat in the meal with beans, rice, tomato, corn shells and flavoring.  Thus it might be alternative fast food.   I have never eaten at Taco Bell to see what sort of meals they serve, but I once drove someone to a Taco Bell a couple of times in Old Greenwich.  I dug through hundreds of receipts and I found the Staples Receipt for the Jettec Lexmark inkjet refill kits.  They were purchased on December 6, 2005 for $11.99 for the black Lexmark refill kit and $14.99 for the color Lexmark inkjet refill kit plus tax.   Possibly since they do not get old, I might be able to return them.   I will have to call them up to find out.  I will now go through my email.  At www.chase.com with Vista on my computer and a Nvidia video 256 meg. dual video card, when I go to their web site, the screen blinks dark for a few seconds.   I think it does that because it tries to load a Quicken applet that my system does not support.   It is rather annoying, and no other web sites do that.  I also have a Polaroid inkjet refill kit another one that is opened.   CIO   

Note:<888> 03/29/07 Thursday 2:45 A.M.:  They Epson Stylus Color 880 printer has new ink cartridges in it, and it prints out fine with a test page.   The HP Photosmart P1000 prints out fine after running a few cleaning and priming cycles.  The HP Deskjet 842C only has red ink left.  I removed the ink cartridges from it.   I disconnected it, and I place it on top of the DeLonghi radiators to the right side of the bedroom desk.   I took the EpsonStylus Color 900 printer from that location, and I placed it where the HP Deskjet 842C was on top of the FIC server.   I hooked it up, and plug and play recognized it in Vista.   I have its power cord connected to the power strip to the right of the keyboard, so it has to be turned on from the control panel to turn on the Epson Stylus Color 900 switch.   I put a new generic color cartridge in it, and it works just fine.   I have a spare black cartridge for it.   I also have two spare identical black cartridges for the two HP inkjets.  That is all the spare ink cartridges that I have.  I have a bag of use and old ink cartridges that I need to return to Staples.   As soon as I can find the receipt, I also have the Jettec black and another Jettec color refill kits that I have not opened, and that I can return to Staples.  On the Epson Stylus Color 900, I also have it connected up the Network D-Link port on the FIC and the Epox servers.  On has to change the top printer port box underneath cable box tray to port D to use it.   It is there, it is just not easy to see underneath the tray.   I have the $10 mail in rebate ready to mail on the keyboard.   I will now reheat the 16 ounce taco meal in the Rubbermaid container that I made last night, and I will eat it with a glass of iced tea.   It should take one vegetable cycles.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 10:35 A.M.:  I took the two U.S. Army www.army.mil extreme cold weather sleeping bags off the far ends of the sofa, and I put them behind the bedroom closet door.   I moved the paper shredder from behind the bedroom door to along side the back side of the down sofa in front of the French reproduction chair.   I took the two comforters off the backs of the sofas, and I put them on the top left side of the bedroom closet shelf.   I move the two hurricane globes with brass candle stands to the top front of the living room mahogany bureau in front of the large pathos plant.   I took down the British Union Jack flag from in front of the center living room curtain, and I rehung it over the Scottish Cross of St. Andrews flag on the right hallway bookcase.   I took the Dutch tricolor flag, and I moved it from the left living room closet to the left hallway bookcase in front of the Swedish flag.   I then removed the Styrofoam that covered the General Electric Profile 15,500 BTU air conditioner with remote control, and I slid it against the window above the air conditioner.   I took about 10 large bobby pins, and I hemmed up the orange curtain above the air conditioner.   I move the Swedish blue glass globe to in front of the air conditioner.   I move the Williamsburg bean pot to the right side of CD cabinet underneath the Sony television.   I connected the air conditioner to the heavy duty power cord that connects to the air conditioner plug, and I opened its exhaust vent, I turned it on low fan.   I set its remote control with the other remote controls on top of the White Star Line place mat on top of the Toshiba laptop on the brass and glass coffee table in front of the Ethan Allen recliner.   I left the Honeywell tower fan going in the same position to the right of the air conditioner.  I put the slender tall vase to the right side of the air conditioner.  I put the fatter blue vase on the right rear side of the Lazy Susan holding the tall palm tree.  I straightened up the sofa pillows and the green slip cover on the long green sofa.   I left one light blanket on the back of each sofa and one afghan on the back of each sofa.   Once we get pollen in the air, I can not open the exhaust vent on the fan setting on the air conditioner, since it would bring in pollen.  I move the hats, gloves, and scarves from the back of the down sofa to the lower right shelf of the sweater closet in the hallway.   Thus I have the apartment set up a bit for warm weather.   I will still leave my long underwear hanging in the hallway in case we still get some colder days.  The air conditioner cooling feature seems like it works, but it will turn on with the cooler temperature outside.  One would have to try it in the afternoon when the sun hits the west facing windows above the black flat first floor roof.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 7:45 A.M.:  I set both the bedroom and the living room thermostats to "OFF" , which is counter clockwise all the way.   I took the small wooden oak folding table from the right side of the bedroom desk, and I move it behind the bedroom door.  I think the other three folding oaks tables are underneath the bedroom on the right side.  I moved both of the DeLonghi oil filled radiators which I did not have to use this winter from the hallway entrance area leading off the living room, and I moved them to the right side of the bedroom desk with the Epson Stylus 900 printer sitting on top of them with my old mail on top of that.  One of these days, I will have to sort through my old mail.   We might yet get a cold spell, so I will still leave my hats, scarves, gloves on the back of the down sofa, and I will still leave my long underwear hanging in the hallway.  Since I am use to colder temperatures, and since I have a westerly exposure with a lot of sun light in the warmer months, my apartment can get too warm starting around the first of May.   I leave the General Electric Profile 15,500 BTU air conditioner installed year round, and I insulate it and cover it up in the winter.   However, it only takes about a half hour to uncover it and have it available for use when needed.  I have the General Electric Service contract paid up on it until September 12, 2007 which costs about a $100 a year.   Its moving louvers do not work, but it seemed to work otherwise fine last season.  The Honeywell Tower fan on its right side would probably be good at moving around its cooled air a little bit more, since the moving louvers do not work.   It slides out of its case for service.   There are two screws on either side of the lower front sides that have to be removed to slide it out the unit from its case housing.   Its outside housing is installed with support brackets to support the heavier unit.   It cost about $600 at Partridge and Rockwell 5 years ago, and it runs just fine.   It is high energy efficiency made in South Korea.  I think I cleaned the filter before closing it up this past winter.  I just put a Frost King foam filter over its factory installed filter, so I can clean it.   The new foam filters which I have a spare one have cost a few dollars.  Obviously with the computers running I have to keep the apartment in the summer at about 78 degrees Fahrenheit.   All of the computers have extra case fans for keeping them cool too.  CIO

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 6:55 A.M.:  I have turned both the bedroom and the living room thermostats down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit for the last 24 hours, and it is currently 79.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the living room, so I guess the afternoon sun from the west is warming up the apartment a little bit.   It is currently 44 degrees Fahrenheit outside Greenwich, Connecticut (06830) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground .   Of course if it goes below 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the living room, I can always turn back on the electric heat.   I am leaving the Honeywell tower fan going, since it tends to circulate the air around the apartment.   Maybe the lights and computers and other electrical items are generating that much extra heat.   I only wore a flannel shirt and opened jacket out last night, and I did not need anything warmer, but I still wear light long underwear with my blue jeans, since with arthritis, it helps if you dress a bit more warmly.   Also I tend to spend a bit more time outside walking around than people whom are just dashing back and forth from the car to some destination.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 4:45 A.M.:  The email server was down briefly, so I checked the Epox server, and it did not work on it either, but now the email server is working.   While checking out the Epox server, I heard a low sluggish sound from it.  I disconnected it, and I opened it up.  There is a heat sink just below or left of the CPU on the Epox motherboard, and it has a small 40mm by 40mm by10mm two pin fan on the heat sink.   That small fan seems to have given out.   However it is not needed in my particular configuration, since I have a five inch diameter rear case a few inches behind it, so I removed the failing small fan, and with the small fan removed, there is more air circulation around the heat sink, so the system should be just fine, and I do not think I need to replace the small fan.   Also the power supply has two or three inside fans and the there is a front case fan along with the CPU cooler, so there is more than enough air circulation around the inside of the Epox server.  However, I found this replacement 2 pin one that is twice as thick at 40mm by 40mm by 20mm instead of 10mm, so hopefully since it is a bit thicker it might last longer, and it is 2 pin, and the other available 10mm thick were three pin, so it cost me $4.31 with free shipping from eBay.ca: Delta 40mm Video Card/Chipset Fan $4.31 FREE SHIPPING! (item 290097694364 end time 30-Mar-07 20:30:00 EDT) , and I will have to go to the Greenwich Hardware store to get four screws that are about 1/3rd to a half inch longer than the ones that I took out from the heat sink.   It is not needed, but I will replace it anyway.   I owed $228 plus change to www.newegg.com , so when I have the funds available, I will pay the $228 less $50 or $178 and change on my bill.  In the end of April, I am due the $50 mail in rebate on the Samsung all purpose printer, fax, copier, and scanner, and I will pay the remaining $50 when I get the rebate.   I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 2:30 A.M.:  I had saved four Stouffer's meal trays, so I made up five batches of my taco meal that I just ate, and I also put a few ounces of shredded New York extra sharp cheddar cheese on each meal before adding the parsley.   Each meal weighs 16 ounces, and I put each of the four in Stouffer's trays in Zip Lock food bags, and I froze them in the freezer, and the fifth, I put in a flat Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator.   I used up the burrito filling in making them.  I would say one should unzip the Zip Lock bag on the frozen ones, and leaving the taco meal in the bag, and I guess would microwave one of the Scott's frozen taco meals for about eight to nine minutes.  CIO  

Note:<888> 03/28/07 Wednesday 1:30 A.M.:    The top round roast made 11 eight ounce hamburgers.  I froze eight and refrigerated 3.   I took one of the soft and one of the hard tacos, and I stuffed as much of the burrito filling in the hard taco as it would hold, and I put as much of the burrito filling on one side of the soft taco as it could hold and still be folded.   I had put them on a microwave proof plate, and I covered each with about three ounces of jar spaghetti tomato sauce, and then I put a microwave lid on the plate, and I heated it on one vegetable cycle of the General Electric microwave oven.   I put the hot plate on another plate, and I sprinkled a small bit of dried parsley on the tacos,  and after letting them cool slightly, I will eat them with a glass of iced tea.   CIO

Note:<888> 03/25/07 Sunday 12:45 A.M.:   I ate the same meal as the last five days.   The movie "The Longest Day" about the Normandy Invasion of Europe on June 6, 1944 came on the Turner Movie Channel about midnight.    I watched the first part of it, the allies alerted the French underground with coded messages to let them know it was happening.   Thus when they broadcast some sort of message in English such as "The Windmills Are Turning", it meant the Allied Invasion was on.   However, the Germans thought the allies would only attack on a clear day at sunrise instead in the rain at midnight.   Whatever the case here, there is not much left to invade for.   There just are a bunch of new rock houses with a lot of new foreign cars, most Americans would not be interested in.   The fattest people I have observed around here stay fat by eating pork loin roasts, so they manage to keep their weight on.  In my particular case I get a bit of starch from the rice that I eat to keep my weight on.   They no longer fly the "Prisoner of War" flags downtown, but some of the U.S.A. flags are at half staff and some of them are at full staff.   Basically from what I can tell not much is going on, but this afternoon should be a bit busy with the St. Patrick's Day parade which usually has a formidable group of people.   As I recall in past years, the biggest group was the Westchester County Fire Department, but as I recall they do not wear green kilts, but red, black, and yellow kilts.   They usually have a few Irish wolf hounds in case any wolves show up out of the woods.   CIO

Thursday appointment.   I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.   They have a bit more Bric a Brac there than they have in the past.   I chatted with a local golfer about having some sort of wild cat jump on the roof of the 1976 white Volvo 4 door sedan when I owned it about 7 years ago with two cars since, and I reported that the cat jump on the roof of the car on the southwest side of the Greenwich Reservoir, when I was checking out the dam after feeling a seismic vibration downtown, and that was about 4:30 A.M. in August at the time.   Not knowing what it was I drove south a short bit down Lake Avenue and then west across Clapboard Ridge and up Round  Hill Road  and west on Porchuck Road and across Riversville Road and west on Cliffdale Road and around 4:30 in the morning on I think a Saturday night somebody came from the opposite direction of Cliffdale Road from the Bruce Golf Course area, and turned south into the Farm just east of the small bridge they have redone since, or whatever French Normandy Farm House is called, so I would have had a witness as to whatever was on the roof of the car, but knowing the family that lived there, they tend to be private, so I never bothered them about it, but they would have seen whatever it was.   I then drove on from there to Westchester County Airport where they have lights and cameras, and the all night Hertz Rent A Car person that I knew there at the time told me there was nothing on the roof of the car.  However, I do have a witness, maybe they were drinking and thought it was some sort of stuffed animal.  However, my cat allergies were activated, so I assume it was some sort of cat.  Frequently wealthy people have exotic pets that get away, so who knows, it had me puzzled at the time.   I normally do not drive in back country at night since once one becomes accustomed to the Big City lights of downtown Greenwich, back country Greenwich is so dark, it looks like the back woods of Canada.   I suppose it is more so, now that it is more expensive to keep the lights on all night around a house.  After chatting, I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.     At the top of Greenwich Avenue, I walked over to Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street through Pickwick Plaza, and I chatted with a few of their staff, and they told me the old Bank of New York MasterCard Debit ATM cards would still be good when they switch over this weekend to www.chase.com .   Putnam Trust already had a Rockefeller connection, since Bill Rockefeller use to be President of it, before he retired.   I then returned back downtown, and I sat out for a while.   I then used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center.   It started to rain.  I then returned home.   One of my neighbors is now using a body guard for personal security.   I chatted with a relative.   I then ate the same meal as the last three nights.   I also ate two scoops of butter pecan ice cream.   I will now go through my email.   CIO
