Note: <888> 03/30/11 Wednesday 6:15 A.M. At 18 gallons times 26 miles to the gallon, it is a 468 mile range on the Audi, which would be enough to make it across the Canadian border on the way to Toronto which is 500 miles, and once across the border, I could check and see if I have any credit up in Canada.  Of course, if one is a U.S. Citizen, you need and expensive $160 passport to go to Canada, but in my particular case, the U.S. and Canadians might wave the passport regulation, since generally, when I travel, I travel with a larger group around me.  Still it seems expensive to spend $100 each way to drive to Canada just to get some Duty Free liquor or whatever one does up in Canada, not to mention the wear and tear on the Audi.  If you need anything from Canada, you can always call up somebody you know up there, and chat with them.  I know quite a few Canadians, but they find U.S. Citizens, so boring, they never get back to me.  Microsoft Sales even answers the telephone up in Canada now at 1-800-426-9400.  The Canadian Prime Minister's wife tries get people to adopt stray cats, and that is about all I know about Canada recently.  I did grow up watching Sergeant Preston and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on television.  I do not know if the roads are even clear up to Canada.  I know northern Vermont still has 3.5 feet of snow on the ground.  I think they are suppose to get more snow up north this Friday too.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/30/11 Wednesday 5:55 A.M.  Well I still have one of those old blue and white Pan Am flight bags stored away along with my Air Canada flight bag.  I think I gave away the American Express flight bag, but I still have an old blue and white www.klm.com flight bag stored away.  I also still have my vintage Gucci flight bag stored away.  I think people now use small back packs, since they are easier to carry, and I have a small red Swiss Army back pack along with a two or three other generic back packs.  However, with what it costs to travel anymore, I have no plans to travel anytime in the near future.  However, my travel plans have changed for going to Kennebunkport, Maine this summer, and I will not be leaving for Kennebunkport, Maine until Tuesday June 14, 2011.  At 265 miles to Kennebunkport, Maine at 26 miles to the gallon on the highway in the Audi, it should take about 10 gallons of gasoline to get there or less than $50 in gasoline at today's prices.  The Audi has an 18.5 gallon fuel tank which I always keep nearly full, so I always have enough gasoline to make it there weather permitting.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/30/11 Wednesday 2:40 A.M.  The right Hercules speaker on the Dell Dimension 4600i computer fell off its platform a couple of times today, when I passed by it to sit in the Ethan Allen recliner.  I fixed the problem by hanging it upside down from the Eizo 19 inch LCD monitor with a couple of Velcro strips.  Thus it will no longer fall over.

I have a feeling none of my associates in the north country never really liked me too much, since I had a southern accent, and they thought I was from down south, since I lived there before I moved up north with my Yankee family.  Thus now that they are entering their retirement years down south, they are learning how to be friendly to southern people for better or worse.   Since my branch of the Scott family is from Champaign, Illinois and my mother's Boven family are from Holland, Michigan, and since I was born in Alton, Illinois, I think despite the fact that I have lived all over the country, technically I would be classified as a Yankee, but the historical roots of the Windfield Scott family that I am suppose to be from are from way down south in Petersborough, Virginia, thus I try to be friendly to southern people, however since I live up north in the cold climate, and since I talk fast like a New Yorker, most people from down south avoid me, since I come across as a fast talking New Yorker which most people in America have learned not to trust and to avoid.  However, being a professional people observer I get to see a large cross section of people coming and going in this area.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 7:50 P.M.  I chatted with a local walker.  Actually walking is suppose to be very healthy for one, if one walks in a safe environment very carefully.  I hardly ever walk West Putnam Avenue, since it is very noisy and the sidewalks are not complete all of the way to my building.  Also they are very steep and can be very slippery on icy days in the winter.  Greenwich Avenue has fairly good security, but one has to remember a lot of the traffic particularly at Arch Street is coming off Interstate 95, so they frequently are not aware of the pedestrian and automobile traffic patterns downtown on Greenwich Avenue and coming off the highway, they tend to be in quite a rush.  Also there are no traffic lights on Greenwich Avenue except at the top and bottom of Greenwich Avenue, so when the traffic officers are not there before 9 A.M. and after 5 P.M. and on Sundays, people frequently do not stop at the stop signs or roll through.  Thus one has to be very cautious on Greenwich Avenue.  Also on Putnam Avenue, the Walk lights at the intersection frequently do not give a slow walker time to cross the intersection before the light changes back to Don't Walk.  I have 27 years experience walking Greenwich Avenue, so I notice things on Greenwich Avenue that the average pedestrian does not notice.  In other words after 5 P.M. downtown anymore, it is dead as a door nail, and except for a few locals whom live downtown, there is not much commercial activity. Even Starbucks only has a few people sipping coffee.  Occasionally a few latch key youth hang out watching the world go by.  Of course in the day time, there are people whom do regular shopping, but it is less busy than it was in the past.  There are also fewer exercise walkers downtown, since it costs too much to drive downtown to be seen and to see.

I just chatted with www.ups.com at 1-800-PICK-UPS , and they told me that there was some sort of problem with the delivery, and they would call me back within an hour to see if they can deliver today or reschedule.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/24/11 Thursday 12:25 A.M.  The last two nights, channel 190 has had two old movies about Al Capone.  I guess that is about the only public relations that Chicago, Illinois gets back east.  When I was in the Grenoble, France train station in the winter of 1972, all of the hundreds of pin ball machines there had Chicago gangland themes, so I guess that is pretty much what Europeans think about Chicago, Illinois.  Lake Forest, Illinois is a little bit more civilized, but they used to drink quite a bit of alcohol there, when I went to college at www.lfc.edu .  Basically it is a colder climate, so people deal with it as best they can.  Maybe that is why there are so many people from the Midwest down in Florida.  The people from my perspective are much larger physically out in the Midwest, because they have more food out there.  However, basically the Chicago area gets nine months of winter and three months of summer.   The summer months can be very hot there as I recall.  Most of the money of the newer rich people in Lake Forest, Illinois comes from the Chicago Commodities Exchange.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/23/11 Wednesday 2:25 P.M.  I tried calling my Connecticut State worker about the missing food stamp redetermination form, but I just got the voice mail again.  I came up with the central number at the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services at 1642 Bedford Street in Stamford, Connecticut at 1-203-251-9300 and another number at 1-203-251-9323 .  I also chatted with the Food Stamp EBT customer service in Hartford, Connecticut.  I went back to bed until noon, when I chatted with my Greenwich Social worker.  I went back to bed until 2 P.M..  I guess with 25% of the U.S.A. population on Food Stamps, the Food Stamp office is overloaded with case loads.

Note: <888> 03/23/11 Wednesday 9:10 A.M.  I woke up at 7 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  CIO

I next went to CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I picked up a prescription.  I bought a two ounce tube of CVS Neosporin like cream for $9.99.  Beside the palm of my right hand, I also have a larger rash on the inside of my right ankle and the heel of my right foot, which is why I need more.  I used the bathroom at CVS.

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 6:05 P.M.  As somebody whom happens to be Dutch American on my mother's side, when ever the Germans, Japanese or Italians around me try to throw their weight around, I let the Roosevelts from Hyde Park, New York Home of Franklin D Roosevelt National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service) look into the matter.  The Roosevelts from Hyde Park are from the democrat party, and the Teddie Roosevelt family from Oyster Bay, Long Island are from the republican party.  Thus they have a monopoly on U.S.A. politics.  The www.bony.com was started with Eliahu Roosevelt's money, so they might have been the original Robber Barons.  I know they started out as pirates.

I will now make and eat the same dinner as last night.  CIO 

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 5:40 P.M.  I have a BA degree in economics from www.lfc.edu in 1972.  With inflation, it is hard to tell what money is really worth.  I once studied that back in the 1930s in Germany a 100 Trillion marks was the cost of a one cent postage stamp.   It used to take a while wheel barrow full of marks to buy a dozen eggs.  In World War II in German prisoner of war camps, the richest person was the person with the most cigarettes.  The Red Cross use to ship cigarettes to the prisoners, but the Germans would steal them along with the other Red Cross supplies.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 5:20 P.M.  Of course there are a billion people in Western Europe, so once the rich people get around to paying the help, the money does not go that far.  I guess a lot of people grow and raise grapes and make wine for a living in Europe.  Back in Florence, Italy in winter of 1972, a 1.5 liter bottle or Chianti was about $2.25, but you had to pay about 50 cents deposit on the Chianti bottle with the webbing on the side.  The people in Old Greenwich, Connecticut can not afford to travel very much with the higher prices of gasoline, so there is one wine store there next to the Old Greenwich Rummage room that has it entire store window full of wine corks, which is why one does not hear much from Old Greenwich anymore.

Most of the Republican Party candidates in Greenwich, Connecticut network around the Millbrook Country Club for cocktails at republican events.  The Democrat Party for some odd reason think they control the Round Hill Club for Democrat Party events. Maybe the republican members of the Round Hill Club are so private, they do not know what the democrat party members are doing.  I was once told that four old men whom are members of the Round Hill Club control the whole Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, but I am not sure what their political party affiliation is, or if even they are U.S. Citizens.  I do know Billy Baldwin decorated the Round Hill Club Pub Room in Pink and Green which are Florida colors and the favorite colors of Queen Victoria for her tropical plant room at Osborne House on the Isle of Wright.  Queen Victoria's colors were the three primary colors or red, yellow, and blue.  Pink is red and white.  Green is blue and yellow.  Thus if you have those four color paints, you can come up with pink and green paint.  In Nantucket, black and white paint is grey which use to be a very common color in Nantucket.

As I recall, the Scott family frequently used wall paper on their walls including Japanese Grass cloth which is very expensive also we used expensive paneling like pecky cyprus.  For paint, I think we used Eggshell white, but the trim would match the wall coverings too.  Salmon was in vogue for a while, when we had a relative that attended www.princeton.edu .  Salmon is just orange and white.  Orange is just red and yellow.  CIO 

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 4:05 P.M.  I though about it, and on the left hallway bookcase, I put up the U.S. Air Force flag with the Saudi Arabian flag over it, with the Bermuda flag over it, with the Swedish flag over it, with the Dutch tricolor flag over it with the British Union Jack over it up front.  Over the right two bookcases, I put the Scottish Cross of St. Andrews flag with the British Union Jack flag up front over it.  Thus on the hallway flags I am on double British Union Jacks. 

I guess we are now the British Consulate in Greenwich, Connecticut, and we can pretend like we are in Greenwich England, and we are still Lord of the Manor.

However, if I flew the Dutch tricolor flag over the left hallway bookcase, I might feel more inspired to do more house cleaning, which I have not done in a long time.

I no longer have the big U.S.A. flag for the right hallway bookcases, since I gave it to a relative in Kennebunkport, Maine.

I will be returning to visit in Kennebunkport, Maine

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 3:40 P.M.  If one should need to contact the British Embassy in Washington D.C. British Embassy in the United States , they have a telephone number at 1-202-588-6500.  Thus I would advise people to be kind to the British.

Maybe I should put the British Union Jack and the Scottish Cross of St. Andrew's flags back up in the hallway of my apartment.  However, it makes my apartment hallway look narrow, and one does not see the various objects of interest in the bookcases.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 3:10 P.M.  It is interesting, since the English in England have a lot of control over the English language, they however do not seem to know how to communicate even with the internet.  I have dealt with a lot of people from England over the years, and the wealthier English people have pets.  They particularly love their dogs.  Thus it seems the English speaking people in England spend most of their time in England chatting with their dogs as opposed to chatting with other people.  I guess they do that to stay private.  In the U.S.A., where a lot of people also speak various dialects of English, to stay private instead of talking about our pets, we chat about the local weather which is something most local people have in common.  Thus there is no point going to England, unless one wants to learn about other people's pets.

I installed the Tripp Lite power control center underneath the 19 inch Eizo LCD monitor on the Dell Latitude D4100i desktop computer.  I plugged the control panel into the surge protector on the floor at the right side of the living room desk.  I plugged in the Dell Latitude D4100i computer into the unswitched computer plug on the control panel, so one still turns on the Dell computer with the power button on the front of the CPU case.  I plugged in the Eizo monitor into the monitor plug which I left turned on, and I plugged in the speakers to the AUX1 plug which I left turned on, so one turns on both devices by turning on the Master Control button on the Tripp Lite control center.  There is enough room for the Logitech wireless keyboard to sit on the Tripp Lite Control Panel.

I will now shower and clean up.

Since I can not afford to drive around to downtown Greenwich, Connecticut very much anymore, I can sit back in my apartment, and I can pretend I am living in Greenwich, Illinois, and I am Lord of the Manor.

I heard Donald www.trump.com on www.foxnews.com this morning saying that he had rented a piece of property in Bedford, New York to Gadaffi for more that it was worth to buy.  Thus I guess if Gadaffi leaves Libya, he will be living in Bedford, New York with all of the other people whom chose to remain private up there.  CIO

I was told by www.dell.com in El Salvador that the Rockefellers are now living in England, because they have better security there.   I guess there are so many blond hair blue eyed people in England, the Rockefellers can blend in as gardeners around the Queen.

I had the apartment windows inspection with the building custodian and three other people inspecting the windows.

I put out the Lasko pedestal fan at the hallway entrance in the living room on low speed.  I put the Sunbeam table fan on top of the Samsung color laser printer at the kitchen entrance on low speed.  I still have the tower fan going on the window shelf also going.  It is still 83 degrees Fahrenheit inside the living room, which tends to make one a little bit tired from the heat after the cold winter.  The sun in the afternoon starting this time of year warms up the apartment.   Still it is nice having fresh air.  I think it is too early to put in the two air conditioners.  CIO

I have been recently doing my version of the French Sleep cure as was documented in the movie "Cousin Cousine" back in 1977.  In the movie in France, they put one to sleep for two weeks, and when one wakes up after two weeks, one feels totally refreshed.

Also there is not a lot going on around here, so I am just staying home in my home computer laboratory watching the world go by on television.  Although there is nice weather outside, I feel perfectly comfortable at home, and I do not have to deal with all of the distractions downtown which tend to change my focus from my computer work. 

Also I am smoking less cigarettes, since I am sleeping more.  One of the ways that I have quit smoking cigarettes in the past is to sleep a lot, and one gradually reduces one's nicotine intake.

I have a spot inspection today of the apartment windows, so I have to be prepared for that.  The building custodian still needs to put the shade in the bedroom window.  This time of year in the afternoon the sun starts to shine heavily on my westerly facing apartment windows.  CIO  

Note: <888> 03/18/11 Friday 12:10 A.M.  I woke up, and I ate triscuits and cheese.  I finally woke up at 11 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.   I went back to bed for a while.  I watched two movies.  I rested some more.  I ate a ham and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with Pringles sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice and a glass of watered down punch.  I rested some more.  I chatted with a relative.  I watched another movie.  I rested some more.  I finally got up at 11:15 P.M. again.  I chatted with a friend.  I washed the dishes.  CIO    

Note: <888> 03/17/11 Thursday 2:00 A.M.  I watched some television.  What a lot of people whom think they know it all from downtown Greenwich Avenue  do not seem to realize is that a lot of the more prosperous people never go downtown to Greenwich Avenue.  Since they are prosperous, they can afford to eat more food, so actually in back country Greenwich there are a lot of fat or large people whom do not bother exercise walking.  Thus if one bothers the tiny people downtown, you might end up getting bothered by their fat friends in back country Greenwich.  The largest person I know that does not actually lived in Greenwich but Stamford if he is still alive only weighs about 800 pounds, so people do not generally bother him.  I do not even know if he is still alive.  Maybe that is why there are so many tiny people in downtown Greenwich, because there are so many porkers in back country Greenwich eating more than their fair share of food.  I grew up in a medical and scientific family, so I do my best to try to stay thin and healthy.  However, I have been bothered by so many over fed people over the years, it seems I subconsciously put on a little extra weight at 225 pounds, so as not to be bothered too much by them anymore.

Basically there is not much happening here in Greenwich, Connecticut, since we have a younger population in town and an older retired population.  I guess the more active people in middle age travel around frequently trying to make money, so we tend to see a lot of people coming and going all of the time.  Actually there is probably more money to be made in nearby Stamford, Connecticut, since there are a lot of corporate offices there.  Corporations tend to have money to invest and spend, where banks in towns like Greenwich tend to hang on to every last penny and are very suspicious of anyone whom does not have money.  I guess a lot of people show up here thinking the few wealthy people in Greenwich are giving away money, but from my viewpoint, they are a pretty cheap group of people.  We even have a relative of Ben Franklin working in the Greenwich Library who is just barely managing to survive.  Perhaps he should invest in a printing press and make his own money.  CIO

Since we have had warmer weather recently, we might be having more solar flare activity from the sun, which can produce warmer weather.  I have a theory that solar flare activity puts out lots of electrons which excites the Earth's core which has lots of Neutrons thus possibly creating increased tectonic activity.  CIO

I ate a ham and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with Pringles sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice and a glass of watered down punch.

I will now shower and clean up, and I will go out for a walk downtown on the World Famous Greenwich Avenue, where nobody ever chats with me, since they seem to think I have some sort of legal position in town.  Maybe they still think I am a Boston www.polaroid.com photographer still, and they do not want their pictures taken and have their privacy invaded, or they are afraid of being blogged about.  CIO

It was the usual early morning group downtown this morning with nothing unusual to report.  I suppose it will get busier later on the day, when the schools let out, and some of the afternoon leisure people go downtown.

We seem to have less people reverse commuting out to Greenwich with the current recession.

I tend to be on a different schedule than most people, since I wake up and go to bed, when ever I feel like it, which puts me frequently on a night time or early morning schedule.  Thus sooner or later I am awake, when it seems that I sleep a lot.  Some people take afternoon naps and sleep all night, so they are probably sleeping just as much as myself.  I tend to catch up on my sleep when I have the time to, because sooner or later I will be busy with other matters.  Besides the internet and home computers, I have my apartment to run which takes a bit of time.  I also enjoy walking downtown, when ever I have the time.  It also takes time to stuff my own cigarettes not to mention preparing and cleaning up after meals and shopping for food.  It also take a lot of time posting my web log for close to the last 20 years or so.  Thus any village gurus around here are probably still watching the evening news, and they think they know it all.  CIO

To clarify a point, the Greenwich Time wrote about 15 years ago that the William Rockefeller family had moved out of Greenwich, Connecticut to Lakeville, Connecticut.  There are still other members of the Rockefeller family in the area that nobody notices.  I would imagine the John D. Rockefeller family are still in North Tarrytown, New York along with their many other homes around the world.  The Vanderbilts also have other homes besides the Williamstown, Massachusetts home.  Also the Hearst family that own the www.greenwichtime.com have a house up in North Salem, New York where a lot of other liberals live.  CIO

There is never too much happening in Greenwich anymore, since with the higher prices of fuel, it is not really worth going downtown to walk around for exercise.  With the higher prices of food, we will probably be losing weight sooner or later anyway.  Older people probably should not eat too much meat anyway, since it is high in cholesterol.  Fish is already very expensive.  Soy beans are suppose to be a good source of protein if you want to start to try marketing tofu again.  Tofu is like soy cheese.

Of course tailors might make some money altering people clothes, so they fit them when they lose weight.

Since I have an internet ready apartment, there is no point sitting out in the cold weather using a laptop computer just to view the deserted streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.  Of course with 40 million people living within a hundred miles of Manhattan, there are always a few lonely souls wandering around our downtown area looking for the ghosts of the once rich and famous.  Last report on the Rockefellers in the Greenwich Time about 15 years ago was that they had moved to Lakeville, Connecticut, so although they might still own property here, we do not hear much about them anymore.  They might still have some poor relations around.  I think some of the Vanderbilts live nearby them in Williamstown, Massachusetts.  Whether any of them go down south in the winter anymore is not known.  The new computer tech billionaires are suppose to be environmentalists, so they do not travel much anymore, since they can telecommute.  I have only seen a few California license plates recently which are probably people from here returning back east after the lost their jobs out there.

There is not much web traffic on my home server, so I guess not many people are interested in its content.
