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

BBC News - Ronald Reagan: 30 years since assassination attempt  The day before that event, my roommate in Manhattan has asked me to move out.  After wandering around Manhattan, I spent the night at the George Washington Hotel off Union Square.  I then took the train out to Greenwich, Connecticut.  I observed the morning commuters in the train station, and most of the ones that I recognized were Canadian residents.  I went to the Greenwich Y.M.C.A., and they had no rooms.  I left my luggage behind the desk there.  I then spent the rest of the day reading at the Greenwich Library.  About 4 P.M., I called my mother in New Canaan, Connecticut, and she told me that the President had been shot.  I think the library had a large screen television on the second floor, but I do not recall whether I watched it or not.  I went to the Y.M.C.A, and I got my luggage.  I then took a Greenwich taxi to Westchester County airport.  I watched the news at the airport bar.  I then took an airport shuttle to J.F.K airport, and I checked in the Pan Am VIP lounge, since I was a Pan Am Clipper Club member which cost about $50 a year back then.  I watched the news on television worrying that with the President having been shot, there might be a nuclear attack from a foreign enemy, and I recall seeing Alexander Haig on television saying he was in charge, and I assume that meant in terms of the Nuclear Umbrella.  There was not much news on President Reagan's condition, other than he was at the hospital.  I figured if New York City were attacked, I might be a in good position to get out in a hurry or watch incoming relief forces arrive.  There was a computer chess game in the Pan Am lounge, so I spent most of the rest of the evening playing it.  About 11 P.M., I called up my former roommate in Manhattan, and she told me I better come back to the apartment on West 74th Street.  I took the train to the subway into Manhattan, and I returned to my roommate's apartment in Manhattan.  My roommate's husband at the time was a United States State Department Employee, and my roommate worked for Cyrus Vance as the head of word processing for his law firm across the street from the IBM building on Madison Avenue.  Thus for most of that day, my luggage was behind the desk at the Greenwich, Connecticut Y.M.C.A. and out of my sight.  I do not recall whether my U.S. Passport was in the luggage, but it probably was along with my other effects, since I had moved out of the apartment in Manhattan.  The passport was issued at Rockefeller Center shortly before Christmas time 1980, and I had used it to visit Germany before that Christmas.  As I recall, when I was applying for the passport, there was a woman that looked like Queen Elizabeth II standing behind me also applying for a U.S. passport.  CIO   

Note: <888> 03/30/11 Wednesday 3:50 A.M.  I ate three scrambled eggs and four double strips of fried bacon and a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch and a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice.  I noticed on the old movies on television in the old days, they used to only have one egg and a slice of toast for breakfast with coffee, so I guess we are now eating more in both the U.S.A. and England.  Of course, it is suppose to be healthier to be thin, but when I slimmed down to 125 pounds in Key West, Florida back in the winter of 1977, I was basically starving, and when I went back down there in the winter of 1982 at about 150 pounds, a big fat New Yorker threatened me, and actually tried to beat me up.  Thus although I am about the most peaceful person in the world, when one is heavier, one does not get threatened as much, but at the same time if one were thinner, one might live longer.  I hope as I get older to lose a bit of weight.  I currently weigh 222 pounds before I step into the shower in the morning after breakfast.  I guess sitting in front of a computer, one does get as much exercise, but if one lives in Manhattan, one just ends up walking around endlessly in a grid pattern, and one tends to lose weight from all of the walking.  In Key West and Nantucket, I walked most of the time, because only on a couple of occasions did I have a car, and when I had a car, I generally took off traveling, when gasoline was about 59 cents a gallon using the old Subaru that got 50 miles per gallon.  Thus I saw a bit more of America, and from what I could see, it still the wide open spaces out there in the middle of America, and they see you coming before you arrive, and they see you going before you know you have left.  Ohio always looked interesting, but I never had the money to explore it, except drive through it.  I did once spend the night at a fraternity house at Wittenberg University , and I went to a beer party.  They use to make the old International Harvester Scouts International Harvester Scout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia there in Springfield, Ohio.  Some of the rich people in Nantucket use to drive them too, when the old timers drove old Wilys Jeeps or rusted out Jeep wagoneers www.jeep.com .  A front wheel drive Subaru will get stuck in the sand, trust me.  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 11:45 P.M.  After the last note.  I made my bed.  I then went out without cleaning up, and I chatted with neighbors, and I went by the Chase Bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue.  I then sat out briefly downtown.  It is dead slow downtown.  I then returned home.   I checked out the community room, and the two old prints of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club http://www.indianharboryc.com/   are missing from the walls of the community room.  They have been there for about 20 years.  There was a party there tonight, but I do not know if that had anything to do with the prints disappearing.  I called the Greenwich Housing Authority answering service at 1-203-869-1138 to let them know about the prints.  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 10:10 P.M.  I chatted with a relative twice.  I ate a 21 ounce Marie Callender meat and tomato lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a glass of watered down punch.

The way I figure it, if one is wealthy and one needs some sort of personal security, one should not waste money on people whom tend to be unreliable.  The best security that I know about is Rin Tin Tin ~ The World's Most Famous German Shepherd Dog .  When my family lived on the Patterson farm in New Canaan, Connecticut, we were suppose to move to the Turkish Embassy in Mexico City at 1765 Passe De La Reforma.  We bought a German Shepard locally to use as a guard dog in Mexico City, and I did my best to train it.  However, when my father returned from a business trip, the German Shepard bit dad on the ass, so we had to get rid of it.  Still it got along fine with me.  Instead we moved to Weston, Massachusetts, and I bought a St. Bernard puppy at www.lfc.edu .  The St. Bernard that we had later in Weston, Massachusetts was trained by my mother, and I think it understood English.  Alas if one were to have a big dog in Greenwich, Connecticut, one would have to constantly walk it on Greenwich Avenue and clean up after it with a pooper scooper, since it is no longer smart to let a dog run free in back country Greenwich, because they can pick up deer ticks and bring them into the house, and one can get Lyme disease from deer ticks.  Thus the canine crowd in this area, no longer have very good security.  The local police dog seems to know me, because it has my scent, since I am always smoking cigarettes in front of the senior and the arts center at one of the locations, where they walk the police dog.  Whenever it sees me from the police car, it always barks at me.

I will now make my bed, and I will shower and clean up.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 8:25 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  There is a party going on in the community room.  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> 03/29/11 Tuesday 7:10 P.M.  Some days, I spend all day waiting for www.ups.com , which seems to be taking some time today.  I guess today we are at the end of their route.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 6:45 P.M.  Also when I paid $43 to fly down on Braniff airways from J.F.K. airport in New York to National Airport in Washington D.C. for Ronald Reagan's inaugural in January 1981, Prince Boni Sadhir the oil minister for Saudi Arabia was the only other passenger on the jet besides the flight staff.  Of course, when I was around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York: metmuseum.org both the Rockefeller group and the Kennedy group were involved with the museum which would have involvements with www.exxon.com and Onassis who had the tankers to deliver the fuel.  All that lead to was years of drudgery as a dishwasher pot scrubber in Nantucket www.nantucket.net , because I guess the people in Nantucket have more money.  The people in Nantucket were involved with the China trade, so they could have quite a bit of money.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 6:25 P.M.  I chatted with a friend.

When I knew Tony Pigato from Sao Paulo, Brazil about 25 years ago, he knew the His Highness the Aga Khan's 74th Birthday - Mowlana Hazar Imam's 74th Birthday - December 13, 2010 who is the head of the Shia Muslims, and also Fred Von Mierers http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm use to live with the Shah of Iran's family in Iran, and they are Shia Muslims.  When I lived in Key West, Florida back in the winters of 1976 to 1978, I use to sit on Louis' Patio with Mel Fisher's children and Izi from Saudi Arabia, and also my father worked for King Wilkinson Engineering which is a part of AMEC | Consultancy, engineering, and project management services a Saudi Arabian engineering firm, so I have also dealt with the Sunni Muslims.  Living in the New York City area all of these years, I also know a few Jewish people like the Warburg family, so I have dealt with all parties in the Middle East.  Also when I built the garage apartment out in Plandome Manor, Long Island, the son in law of the owner of the house was in the U.S. State Department in Libya and his wife was formerly married to the spokes person for the PLO.  Thus I have dealt with different factions from the Middle East.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 5:20 P.M.  I took a nap.  I washed the breakfast dishes.

There is an illegal way to save of fuel prices.  If one has an older diesel powered vehicle instead of going to the service station to buy diesel fuel, most diesel vehicles will run off Number 2 Fuel oil Retail Price of No. 2 Fuel Oil to Residential Consumers .  However, Number 2 fuel oil is dirtier, so one will have to change the diesel fuel filter more often, and one would also need to add additives to the Number 2 fuel oil which one can usually get at an automobile supply store.  Of course, one would need a way to pump the Number 2 fuel oil out of an oil fuel tank.  Basically one would be avoiding paying for the highway taxes.  CIO 

Note: <888> 03/29/11 Tuesday 3:35 P.M.  I woke up at noon.  I had a call from my Greenwich Social Worker, and I got a telephone number for the Connecticut Department of Social Services that had a person answered the telephone.  The person told me that since I had also sent in the green Medicaid annual form that is also good for Food Stamps, so some time in the near future, I should get a letter saying my Food Stamps are still in effect.  I called my Greenwich Social Worker to tell them that fact. 

A lot of people have been moving out of New England because of Lyme disease.  Here is another story on Lyme disease Hilfiger's experience with Lyme far from fashionable - GreenwichTime .  I guess that is why nobody wants to move here anymore despite what the real estate writers write about the glories of New England.  I chatted with an equestrian friend, and he could not give a damn about Lyme disease, so I guess other people have different viewpoints.  I chatted with a local walker about the price of tea in China. 

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.

Sunny today and 42 to 27 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/28/11 Monday 3:10 A.M.  I ate some triscuits and cheese.  I watched the British program "39 Steps" on Connecticut Public Television Masterpiece Theatre.  I guess they are still fighting World War II over in Europe, which is why U.S.A. citizens are not allowed to visit there.  I have been to Europe a number times, but I was never able to afford to visit Great Britain.  I did sneak over to Germany around Christmas Time in 1980, and I toured Frankfurt, Germany for a few days.  It was cold there in the winter, and the train station had a lot of signs advertising skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland.  Alas I did not have much money, so I was not able to pay a longer visit.  I discovered plastic garbage bags while I was there, when the U.S.A. only had brown paper bags back then.  I did take the local train to Stuggart, and I visited the Mercedes Benz showroom there, but I did not have transport to the Mercedes factory there.   I also discovered the linoleum with round disks on it which makes it more slip proof.  Frankfurt airport was covered with it.  I helped a woman that look like Princess Margaret carry her two empty turquoise suitcases into the Pan Am VIP lounge.  She said she came over there from London to do some shopping.  She gave me her card, and it was an address at the Rue St. Michel in Barbados.  I stayed at the Y.M.C.A. in Frankfurt which was the cheapest place according to the airport's visitor's computer.  They had a big German Shepard dog there for security.  One was able to take the local subway from the airport to the train station in downtown Frankfurt.  I did go to a college bar, but it was closing about the time that I arrived.  I just wandered around downtown Frankfurt, and there was not too much happening.  A lot of people were out shopping on the Saturday morning the day after I arrived.  They had a small indoor mall for shopping.  Most everyone I spoke with seemed to know English, so I was able to find my way around.  Basically when one is homeless in Germany, one does not really know what to do, but return back to America.  I paid $100 for a one way trip over there on Capitol Airlines a Puerto Rico airline from J.F.K. in New York, but they wanted to charge me $800 for a return flight, so I made a big stink about it at the airport, and they finally sold me a ticket for a $100.  I had seen a lot of German flight attendants, when I was out in Laguna Beach twice that summer and fall, so I figured somebody might be friendly in Germany, but they did not seem to know what to do with me.  One was allowed smoke on the subway.  They had a 24 hours seven day a week discothèque in the Frankfurt Airport called the Discothèque Dorian Grey.   The woman from Barbados and England was wearing a dress made of long turquoise feathers, so I guess the British dress differently.  I also passed through Germany coming and going to Innsbruck, Austria around the winter of 1988.  Thus I have been to Germany twice.  I do not know how to speak German, so I had a bit of trouble navigating around.  I did notice on the trip to Innsbruck, that a lot of the security guards in the Munich airport had my look.  I did not try to talk to them to see if they were American or German, since they were all carrying machine guns.  I also was in the transit section of the Düsseldorf airport coming and going on that trip.  AAA the American Automobile Association over in Stamford, Connecticut sold us a package tour to Innsbruck with round trip on Lufthansa and bus transport from Munich to Innsbruck and a week stay in a hotel in Innsbruck with breakfast and dinner for $799 each person.  I read in the The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia that the Kaiser Wilhelm institute suggested that www.nasa.gov use micro robotics instead of putting a human in space which would be a tenth of the price.  At the University in Innsbruck, I was told that the students study 12 hours a day seven days a week.   The stores did not have cash registers except the mall, and they used change pouches for bills and change in the stores.  Nobody drove their cars, and the downtown area was pretty much a pedestrian mall.  I visited the tomb of the Emperor Maximilian Tomb and Museum of Emperor Maximilian I, Innsbruck and the Hofburg Court Palace, Innsbruck .  CIO

Note: <888> 03/27/11 Sunday 11:10 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  It seems all quiet on the Western Front here in Byram, Connecticut close to the border with the New Amsterdam colony.  I guess not many people know of it, but the original families in New Amsterdam are familiar with the Dutch Night Watch which has been in continuous operation, since the first Dutch settled here around 1640.  I cleaned the Ionic Pro air purifier.  Alas the Dutch night watch can not afford to drive around at night much anymore, since premium self service gasoline is about $4.20 a gallon.  However, some of the local youth on holidays and in the summer still hang out on their skate boards watching the world go by.  I have not seen or heard much air traffic at the nearby Westchester County - AirportMonitor - by Megadata - powered by PASSUR , thus we no longer getting many of the flight crews passing time at our local pubs anymore.  The Thataway pub down at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue use to have live music on Sunday nights, if you want to sing for your supper.  We still have three 24 hours gasoline stations nearby on West Putnam Avenue.  There is the Sunoco station on the New York border, and the Mobil minimart at Weaver street and West Putnam Avenue and further east the 24 hour Shell station.  I do not know if there are any pub crawlers in nearby Port Chester at night, but there never is any traffic anymore, so I would imagine their business is also down too.

Although I use to walk around Greenwich Avenue at night and the early morning hours for many years, I quit walking at night over a year ago, when my bladder started to get weaker, and there was no place to go to the bathroom except Thataway at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue.  There is the Gingerman at upper Greenwich Avenue and the Barcelona cafe, but I do not know if they would be friendly to casual restroom users.  Also they close by about 2 A.M., so after that there is no place to go.  Since I do not drink alcohol, I do not feel comfortable going into crowded bars just to use the bathroom.  I wanted them to put in new public laboratories in the new public safety building, but that suggestion fell on deaf ears.

I am more comfortable at home, and I can manage to keep busy with the internet.  There is a world of content on the internet, so I have no shortage of reading material.

I guess I am an informal night watch person in my building, but I actually do not go out of my apartment very much, when on a night schedule.  If there is anyone else awake at night in town, they are busy with other activities, so they do not bother to network with me.  I guess the Greenwich Hospital and Public Safety building are always open at night.  The diner across from the Y.M.C.A. is also opened 24 hours.  I do not know if they have wireless internet there or not.  Optimum had hot spots through our town for Optimum users.  CIO

Years ago before I was on the internet 20 years ago, I used to listen to BBC broadcasts off my shortwave radio, when they would come in better at night.  I once heard a broadcast that Prince Charles had hired a Dutch secretary, and he had to discharge him, since the Dutch secretary alphabetized everyone by first name.  The broadcast implied that the Dutch were not too swift.

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.

I once read that the British Royal family Welcome to the official website of the British Monarchy never had any money to speak of, until Queen Victoria married Prince Albert who was the nephew of King Leopold of Belgium whom had a lot of money from his colonial empire in the Belgium Congo.  I also once read that when the Duke of Windsor abdicated, he took the entire fortune of the British Royal family leaving them with just the allowance from the British government.  I also once read that the Rothschild family were allowed to make a fortune in banking by the Kaiser of Germany whom leant them money at .25% interest, which they releant at higher rates.  CIO

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 4:40 P.M.  The Greenwich Time www.greenwichtime.com if one believes Hearst reported 15 years ago that members of the Rothschild family had moved out of France, because it was too anti-Semitic, and they had moved to Byram Shore Road in Byram, Connecticut a part of Greenwich, Connecticut on the New York border.  There is not much evidence of them having moved here, and I do not know if they are still in the area or not.  I do know that the Buy Wine Online, Wine Gifts, Wine Events - Varmax Liquor Pantry nearby in Port Chester, New York has a much larger wine selection.  I use to buy Chateau Mouton-Cadet Rothschild white  bordeaux table wine there for $5.99 a .750 liter bottle, and about two years ago that is how much it was at the New Hampshire liquor store, when I drove up to Kennebunkport, Maine. It is now $8.99 2009 Mouton-Cadet - Bordeaux White - Varmax Liquor Pantry , but one can buy a 1.5 liter bottle for $13.99 2009 Mouton-Cadet - Bordeaux White (1.5L) - Varmax Liquor Pantry thus wine has gone up 50% in cost in the last two years.  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

around June 7, 2011 to visit with relatives.  On the way up to Maine, I will pick up a relative at the Manchester, New Hampshire jet port.  I do not know how long I will be staying up there.

I still have the very large even larger 49 star U.S.A. flag that I bought from the New Canaan, Connecticut Visiting Nurse Thrift Shop for $5 around 1988.  Having once lived next door to the New Canaan Police department, I also have a few friends up there too.  CIO

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.

One can look here U.S. Department of State Embassy 

The current U.S.A. ambassador to Paris, France is from the Muppetts Embassy of the United States Paris, France - Ambassador

The U.S.A. ambassador to the Court of St. James is a lawyer from St. Louis, Missouri from Citigroup Embassy of the United States London, UK - Ambassador , so possibly the Rockefellers are indeed living in England.

If one looks at this Rothschilds & Rockefellers – Trillionaires Of The World it says the Rockefellers in 1998 were worth $11 trillion and the Rothschilds were worth $100 trillion.  Thus I would say that more than likely, there is a bit more chicken feed in this neighborhood than Microsoft Petty Cash.  When one sees about 200 private detectives in black suits walking around on Greenwich Avenue that usually means that somebody with Big Bucks is around.

Obviously when anyone with that type of money comes over from England, they obviously come over with a large group of friends.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/21/11 Monday 1:40 P.M.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.

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 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.

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go back to bed for a while.

Sunny today and 60 to 44 degrees Fahrenheit.  With the warmer weather recently, one might think about turning down one's thermostat to save energy and money.  CIO

Note: <888> 03/16/11 Wednesday 11:50 P.M.  I thought Jeremiah Milbank Jr., Donor and G.O.P. Official, Dies at 87 - New York Times was a lawyer.  His daughter was another one of the class photographers in my class of 1965 at the Greenwich Country Day School Greenwich Country Day .  The other class photographers were the lesser known James Paul Warburg Junior and Pam Smith.  Tom Shaw tried to be one of the class photographers, but we had to get him out of the photo lab, since he seemed up to some sort of mischief.  Besides he was more interested in the afternoon sports programs, where as the photographers worked in the photo lab when not taking pictures.  John Webster the headmaster of the school once donated $50 to the photo lab to start up color photography, but it was a disaster, since the chemicals for color photography had an overwhelming toxic smell which tended to make the photography group sick in the photo lab.  I guess I branched out into www.polaroid.com which went bankrupt when the Japanese came out with Sony Beta Max which made the new Polaroid instant movie film obsolete around 1974.  The Polaroid company then went quickly down hill with the Japanese and Eastman Kodak taking over the photography business.  However, while at Polaroid, I worked as an independent contractor with www.ibm.com manuals writing COBAL computer code for an IBM 360 main frame computer that Polaroid had during the summer of 1971.  Thus that summer, I was not actually a Polaroid employee, but an independent contractor.  That summer I also designed a laser printer with a real laser.  Back in the summer of 1969 while working as a photographer in Polaroid's research laboratory, I explained to one of the other photographers, my concept of x-ray lithography.  Jim Hartnett was my immediate supervisor at Polaroid, and he was retired from www.af.mil intelligence.  Thus as far as I know Polaroid had no contacts with the www.cia.gov other than perhaps providing them with cameras and equipment and film.  Back in December 1977, when I was a dishwasher at La Vielle Maison restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida, I had coffee with a local www.ibm.com employee in a coffee shop there shortly before Christmas time.  I drew on a napkin a design for my concept of a desktop computer based on what I knew about an IBM 360 main frame, but at the time none of the parts existed, but the desktop PC computer is still basically the same after all of these years.  If IBM had ever hired me, I might have been able to improve on the design, but IBM is a lot of democrats, and they do not like Republicans.  CIO

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

Note: <888> 03/16/11 Wednesday 1:15 P.M.  I woke up at 11 A.M..  I had to restart the FIC server.  In the last four days, the server was hacked once and restarted.  In the last three days, when I wake up Internet Explorer both versions 8 and 9 had not worked on the server when I wake up, and I have to reboot the server to get Internet Explorer working.  Thus by Sherlock Holmes deductive reasoning, I would say that some idiot or idiots unknown are hacking my server.  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 chatted with a relative.

The Nantucket Police Town and County of Nantucket - Police Department has a new police station on Fairgrounds Road.  I used to camp out on Fairgrounds Road in 1975.  Myles McGough use to own the Road House bar on Fairgrounds Road.   Thus I guess Nantucket is becoming more populated.  It is a long walk from downtown Nantucket to Fairgrounds Road.  I think Fairground Road is the second right after the Sconset rotary on the airport road.  Actually the Scott family never had a house on Nantucket, when we lived in Massachusetts, we were well established in Weston, Massachusetts next to the Harvard www.harvard.edu arboretum.  CIO  

Note: <888> 03/16/11 Wednesday 12:55 A.M.  The last ice age Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia was 20,000 years ago, so possibly when all that ice is up north, the ocean levels were lower, and the Mediterranean Sea could have been some sort of valley.  When the ice up north melted, the water running down from the north could have carved out the Mediterranean sea into the Atlantic Ocean.  I know blond hair blue eyed people from Scandinavia lived in the Canary Islands during the last ice age.

Note: <888> 03/16/11 Wednesday 12:30 A.M.  I was just thinking that the volcano Thera Santorini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia might have erupted in prehistory either creating or blocking the Mediterranean Sea.  I once read that the Mediterranean sea was once a fertile valley, so possibly it was created by Thera opening up the Gibraltar Strait to the Atlantic ocean thus flooding the fertile valley which might be responsible for the legends of Atlantis or Noah and the Great Flood.

Crater Lake Crater Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia erupted in 5700 BC and Thera 2600 BC.  Possibly there is a cycle of solar flares that might explain the events, but I don't think there is much history on the events unless somebody in China or India has kept track of them for 6,000 years.

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

Note: <888> 03/15/11 Tuesday 7:15 P.M.  I chatted with a former neighbor's relative after the last note.  Sadly the neighbor will not be returning.  I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I toured CVS.  The children's store at the Pickwick Plaza has a going out of business sale going on.  They were only there for about a year.   I sat out for a while.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I sat out for a while.  I then drove way down south by the pier on the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  It seems perfectly normal down there for this time of year.  They are building another new house down there.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with one of the staff members about recent events.   I then chatted with a local resident from Switzerland.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I chatted with a relative.  I chatted with the building custodian.  There is a spare cat in the building if anyone needs a cat.  The building custodian could help anyone get the cat.  CIO  

Note: <888> 03/15/11 Tuesday 2:25 P.M.  In my younger years in the 1970s and early 1980s, when I occasionally went up to Nantucket in April from Florida, the locals did not seem to notice me, but I would run into a couple of life guards from Nova Scotia, and when they saw me, they would leave Nantucket and go back up to the beach in Nova Scotia and leave me to keep an eye on the waterfront in Nantucket during the warmer months.  My employers in the later years in Nantucket were from Stowe, Vermont and Montreal, Canada, so they were a cold weather group of people.

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

There is not too much going on in terms of activity in downtown Greenwich that I can tell from my many years of experience.  It might get busier on Thursday afternoon when the Manhattan business people come out for the weekend.

I am worried that with the tulips coming out earlier, it might mean a hotter summer which would mean increased tropical storm activity down south.

Orthodox Easter Sunday this year is April 24, 2011 Greek Easter - Greek Orthodox Easter Dates, 2011, 2012, 2013 and beyond and Western Christianity Easter Sunday is the same date this year Easter 2011 - Calendar of Easter 2011 Dates .  Sometimes, they fall on different Sundays.  When I first entered www.lfc.edu back in the fall of 1968, there was a minor earthquake in Lake Forest, Illinois which felt like a freight train passing by.  Later in the winter and spring of 1972, when I was on the foreign studies program in Florence, Italy with side trips to Grenoble, France, Barcelona, Spain, and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and later that spring when I was all over Greece and Turkey and Crete, I learned a bit about how advanced Western Civilizations had been disrupted by earthquakes.  I remember on the week before Orthodox Easter Sunday in the spring of 1972, when I was on Crete with George Cary and my other fellow classmates about how the Palace at Knossos Minoan civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia had been destroyed by an earthquake cause by the volcano at Santorini, Greece to the north of it erupting.  Thus if man does not read history, they are bound to repeat themselves.  Much has been repeated over history about the lost civilization of Atlantis, so it is really nothing new.  When I lived in Nantucket, there was even somebody always talking about Santorini, whom people did not pay much attention too.  CIO

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

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.

Well, once one quits walking Greenwich Avenue regularly after all of these years, it is sort of hard to figure out what to do with all of the free time that I seem to have.  I can not file a police report at the Greenwich Police department on the Chase debit card misuse, since I do not know whom might have used it or how they got it.

I guess in the world of the internet, there are all sorts of individuals out there trying to make an easy buck.  I monitor my accounts regularly, so it is more of a nuisance than a financial loss.

I guess being on the low end of the financial end of things, one is not used to dealing with the more upscale amounts of financial mischief that might go on in the real world.  I suppose since I need more rest that most people, I have to conserve my energy some times, and I try to keep busy in my hours awake and not watch too much television.  Whether anyone reads my web log, I do not know, but I keep busy at it, since that is what I have been doing for a lot of years.  I guess with the lunar activity at different times of the month, one feels more energetic and less energetic at night depending on the phases of the moon.

Also since I have been spending so much time inside recently, I have not really gotten use to the colder winter weather for the last two winters.

Still I am warm and comfortable at home, and I manage to keep busy.  I guess I could get back into cooking better meals, which I know how to do, but sooner or later I have more expenses.  I will have to start making automobile insurance payments to GEICO again in April 2011, so it might help to conserve my funds for those payments.  CIO
