03/31/23 Friday 10:50 P.M..  I was just thinking during the last ice age fifty thousand years ago, with a lot of the Planet Earth's water in ice up North, we know the oceans were much lower, so possibly the Canary Islands extended up further out of the Atlantic Ocean or were even connected to the continent of Africa or maybe even Europe.  Who knows maybe Volcanic Activity made the Planet Earth colder.  I know there were Norwegians in the Canary Islands during the Ice Age.  Canary Islands word from the Latin word Cannis which means "Dog", so they were called the Isles of Dogs, when rediscovered again, since there were a lot of dogs or similar animals on the islands.  Somebody should look at a satellite photo see what the Canary Islands really look like with out water around them.  Maybe they were Atlantis, but most people think it was Santa Turini in the Mediterranean Sea which erupted about five thousand years ago.  I have read that Northern Africa where the Sahara Desert is was once a fertile plain, so maybe volcanic eruptions in the Canary Islands turned it into a desert.  Nobody ever communicates with me on any of my theories, so maybe somebody in the Eastern Hemisphere knows more.

I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will eat a yogurt.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

03/31/23 Friday 9:30 P.M..  I drove downtown to the Board of Education Veterans Monument Parking lot, and I sat out for a long time on a busy evening.  The tulips are almost half way out of the ground there.  I used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com .  I sat out some more at the Senior and the Arts Center.  I then drove to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue.  They have one package of Done's back pills for $16.99 left, but the pharmacist told me Aleve would be better for a sore back.  I bought a Daisy's croissant for $2.14.  I ate it in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Parking lot across the street.  I used the bathroom in the CFCF coffee shop.  The men's room bathroom is now fixed.  I then sat outside some more.  I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought six 20 ounce cans of Stop and Shop pineapple chunks for $1.50 a can, two 12 ounce packages of Perdue spicy chicken cutlets for $2.50 each, and from the Clearance Section a two pack of croissants for $1.24 for $13.24 total.  I then returned home.  I put away my groceries.  I took a Aleve for my sore back.  I went outside, and I put the grey bag back in the car.  I drank a brewed coffee.  I nodded at the big deer a couple of times, and it nodded back at me.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

03/30/23 Thursday 2:45 P.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  As far as I can remember, the only two jobs I have ever had in Greenwich, Connecticut was when I was sixteen years old in the summer, I helped frame a house on Baldwin Farms South for $5 an hour for my family which cost $85,000 to build on two acres.  Also in June 1973, when my family moved back to Greenwich from Weston, Massachusetts, I got a job at Boodles as a waiter across from the Greenwich Library which was owned by somebody from R.J. Reynolds and a race car driver, but I lost that job in October 1973, when the stock market crashed, when Nelson Rockefeller blocked all of the oil tankers in New York Harbor from off loading oil, so there was an oil shortage.  I guess he had that much influence.  When I ventured back into Manhattan, I met Fred Von Mierers at Le Jardin discothèque with all of his jet set friends, and the following day, he was pictured shaking hands in the society column of the Daily News with Nelson Rockefeller, so until February 1975, I tried to keep an eye out on Fred's neighborhood at 420 East 49th Street.  In that period Citicorp built a new fifty story office building at Third Avenue around 50th Street, but Fred banked at the Chemical Bank across the street from the British consulate, so I knew he had a bit of money from his father's dry cleaning business in Brooklyn.  CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 6:05 P.M..  I channel surfed.  I then went outside again.  When I first arrived back in Greenwich from www.nantucket.net on December 13, 1983 on the Aga Khan's birthday, when he was living here as the High Commissioner of Refugees at the United Nations, they found me a welfare attic room at 100 Milbank Avenue across from the Observatory for $240 a month and gave me $200 a month welfare to live on, since I was disabled.  I used the Greenwich Library every day, and I could eat dinner at the old Greenwich Hospital for $2 a meal which were very good meals.  For breakfast I would walk to the Greenwich Food Market on Greenwich Avenue and buy a quart of Columbo vanilla yogurt and a quart of orange juice.  Next to my rental room with shared bath was Spyros Scorros' chauffeur.  Thus until June 1984, when I moved to 700 Steamboat Road way out of town, I spent a lot  of time downtown, and for two months, when I moved out 100 Milbank Avenue, I lived in a room on a second floor apartment at Greenwich Avenue and Grigg on the northwest corner above the movie theatre, where I saw a lot of people downtown.  That is now the location of the www.apple.com Computer store.  I even volunteered for two years at the computer consignment shop on Grigg Street, when I bought an Apple 2E computer from a tag sale on Round Hill Road for $100 from somebody from Belgium that worked for J.P. Morgan on September 1989, and my mother even bought me a used I 386 tower computer there for a thousand dollars at the consignment shop about 1990.  Thus the computers never lead to work, but it has kept me busy.  I even typed out on my 100 page memoir on a Smith Corona electric type writer that I bought used for $40 from Olive Watson at the Round Hill Church thrift shop.  I took typing around 1965 for summer school on an IBM Selectric at Eastern Middle Summer School, and I sat next to Mike Morano who was a Greenwich Country Day classmate and son of the man that the bridge that fell down when I was out on Nantucket on April 1983 was named after.  I also recall seeing some Greenwich Country Day classmates on Nantucket and Lake Forest College classmates and Taft School classmates.  CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 8:35 A.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  From the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet, I took out the Acer laptop that I bought from Microsoft  three or four years ago at Christmas time for $300.  I later put in a SSD drive to make it faster, and I have it upgraded to Windows 11.  I also  have a licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2019 on it.  I am now charging it up, and I am installing the Windows 11 Updates and the Norton Internet Security 360 updates on it.  Once it is all updated, I will put it on the laptop stack on the stainless steel cart.  On the lower right of the stainless steel cart, I have a Asus 15.6 inch Chromebook and a 11.6 inch Samsung Chromebook.  In my "Situation Room", I have to keep updating and maintaining my computer equipment.  My rich American Red Cross friends that worked in a tent full of body parts after "911" suggested that I setup an office after "911" in case anything similar happens in this area.  At the moment in the past week they have crossed the Atlantic on a cruise ship and arrive in South Hampton, England this Saturday after having part of their cruise stops cancelled because of rioting in Europe and North Africa.  They want to take the train from England to France, which may not happen.  One of them does speak French though.  The wife is on the Board of Trustees of Barnard College up at www.columbia.edu , and she knows Martha Stewart, so she is well connected with the women in Manhattan and at the United Nations.  They even used to have a retired www.cia.gov friend in Greenwich who used to live across the street from the Greenwich High School.  He has a medical degree from www.yale.edu and is also a psychiatrist and is an expert of Iroquit poisoning which a lot of people suffer from on the East Coast of America.  He is also related to Skikorsky the helicopter family from Connecticut, so they constantly travel the World.  They once came out here from Manhattan with a Saudi Arabian woman who was not too impressed with my old Volvo wagon and Tod's Point.  United Technologies in Connecticut was bought by Raytheon, and they have a lot of defense manufacturing down in Georgia, where they now live off the coast of Georgia in Sea Island, Georgia where some of the www.coke.com people also live.  They told me ship loads of expensive foreign automobiles also arrive in the port in Brunswick, Georgia where they volunteer inspecting ships that come and go.  They also volunteer at the old R.J. Reynolds's plantation helping to restore slave cabins, when not busy with other local affairs down South.  I guess Ted Turner and his Southern spies have their eyes on them a lot of time.  They do not own televisions, but she networks with British women's literary book groups off her Chomebook.  He likes listening to Conservative radio stations.  He also has a son in England.  The wife has two children on of whom is a Pediatric Surgeon living in Hawaii, so they definitely have very good American Red Cross connections, and the wife also has worked as a "Big Apple" greeter in Manhattan showing new residents around Manhattan.  She also worked for Nelson Rockefeller on his political campaigns.

03/29/23 Wednesday 4:25 A.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  With www.ibm.com Big Blue nearby in Armonk, New York; there are so many computer tech people around here, nobody bothers networking with anyone in Greenwich.  I do know there are big thick optic fiber cables running up Round Hill Road in back country, and over a decade ago, when we had hurricane Sandy, I saw a ten foot diameter satellite dish on a truck driving down Greenwich Avenue.  There used to be an orange metal stick in my neighborhood across from www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue that said, "Do Not Dig Trans Atlantic Cable", so someone or somebody is probably doing something on the internet here unknown to their neighbors.  CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 3:35 A.M..  I woke up twice, and I went outside twice, and once for a long time.  I ate two raspberry tarts and a croissant.  I finally woke up at 3 A.M..  I made my bed.  I went outside.  I picked up the mail.  I will eat a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and cheese croissant with two toasted multigrain English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and pineapple chunks with Mandarin orange slices, and a glass of Primo Vermont spring water with some pineapple juice and cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk.  CIO

03/27/23 Monday 7:25 A.M..  At far end of the oak dining table on the lower right HP I 5 Desktop computer, I have Windows 11 beta Canary 30324 installed and configured.  It works just fine.  Unfortunately, there is no money in beta testing, it is just what I have learned to do over all of these years on low income with my at home situation room.  I supposed some of the local youth on low budget with older equipment might beta test too.

It seems the Google Displays are not working again.  It seems like possibly I am getting a Denial of Service of Attack on my internet setup.

I chatted with a friend.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

03/27/23 Monday 6:00 A.M..  At the far end of the oak dining table on the lower right HP I 5 desktop, I installed the latest Windows 11 beta Canary 30324.  I now have to configure it.  It is available in the beta link below.  I installed it Rufus style, so it works on the older computer.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

03/27/23 Monday 4:35 A.M..  I went out to www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue, I bought two https://www.cvs.com/shop/super-beta-advanced-dietary-supplement-60ct-prodid-390416 for $39.99 each less 25% discount with a previous purchase coupon for $63.98 total.  I then drove down the deserted Greenwich Avenue except the street cleaner as far as  www.starbucks.com and back uptown my usual way.  I then went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $20 of self service premium gasoline for $4.399 a gallon for 4.549 gallons at odometer reading of 123941 miles for 63.7 miles driven since Thursday March 9, 2023 for 14.004 miles per gallon in local traffic.  I then returned home.  I saw a young fawn at the driveway entrance.  I put away my purchase.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I filed this report.

!!!!!! On can created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows 11 beta 25300 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?rfs=1 , and I used this procedure for Windows 11 on an older PC, Windows 11 Rufus installed from USB Pen Drive  I made a Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive with this method this https://rufus.ie/en/ to created a Windows 11 bootable USB pen drive for it to upgrade https://www.elevenforum.com/t/create-bootable-windows-11-iso-without-tpm-secure-boot-and-ram-requirements.1891/ I formatted the over 8 GB USB pen drive in NTFS, and I set Rufus to "MBR" selected and the second and third advanced options selected, also select options no TPM/no Secure boot.  The different language versions of the Windows 11 *.iso download are here https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 thus for example if one wanted Windows 11 Professional in French download the *.iso file and make the Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive the same way.  Once again the Complete PC backup does not work, but Aomei backup does work.

I will now go  outside again.  CIO

03/27/23 Monday 3:05 A.M..  I will now go downtown for a Midnight Mike drive.  CIO

!!!!!! 03/27/23 Monday 2:50 A.M..  To make a bootable BSD drive, one downloads it here https://www.freebsd.org/ or this image https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-create-bootable-freebsd-usb-in-windows-for-freebsd-12-0-current-i386-20171213-r326820-disc1.63807/ and use this rufus method https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/28780/tool-to-create-bootable-freebsd-usb-flash-drives which one downloads from here https://rufus.ie/en/ .  Once the bootable BSD USB pen drive is created in the computer bios under boot, one has to enable "UEFI" and then select the boot option USB UEFI when booting from the USB pen drive.  It takes over a half hour to to boot the pen drive.  However, BSD has a low level format utility to get rid of an old partition on the computer which is necessary when using the Aeomei backup restore utility on it to restore one's backup, if one has an Aeomei backup.  Also if one does not have a Aeomei backup, one might need to run the low level format utility on the internal hard drive to permit installing Windows 11 new install from a pen drive which one can do by disabling UEFI in the bios and booting the Windows 11 USB pen drive.  Of course different bios work differently.

However, this is how I was able to restore my Aeomei Windows 10 backup to a second desktop computer.  CIO

03/26/23 Sunday 3:25 A.M..  On the upper left Dell Optiplex 790 at the far end of the oak dining table, I changed the CMOS to UEFI, and then I booted the bootable BSD USB pen drive which takes a while.  I then did a low level format of the SSD drive.  I am now restoring the Aeomei backup of the Dell Optiplex 790 on the left side of the primary work computer.  Hopefully, since they are the same computers, I will not get product activation.  After restoring, I have to disable UEFI in the CMOS boot option.

03/25/23 Saturday 1:20 P.M..  The new Dell Optiplex Windows 10 Professional setup does not recognized the USB printer hub connected to it, so the Xerox laser printer does not work off of it.  Maybe it might work off the wireless option, I do not know.  I shut it down for now.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will go outside.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

03/25/23 Saturday 12:05 P.M..  I ate a 9 ounce Hormel Completes spaghetti and meat sauce meal with grated parmesan cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO 

03/25/23 Saturday 11:25 A.M..  I went outside twice, and once I drank a brewed coffee.  I chatted with a relative and a friend.  I have the Dell Optiplex 790 I 5 Desktop computer setup with Windows 10 Professional and the other Microsoft programs that I bought.  I put a new web cam and headset on it.  It seems to be working just fine.  However, the Windows Complete PC backup to an external hard drive will not work, so I am now doing an Aeomei backup.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

03/25/23 Saturday 7:25 A.M..  Windows 11 on the Dell Optiplex 790 on the left side of the primary work computer is not activated.  To make it more useful, I bought https://shop.winandoffice.com/usa/product/windows-10-professional-visio-2019-professional-project-2019-professional-office-2019-professional-plus/ for $29.99.  While downloading the Windows 10 download, I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  On the installation computer, I booted the low level format software, and I did a low level format.  I made a Windows 10 Professional USB pen drive with Rufus.  I am  now installing Windows 10 Professional on the computer.  I chatted with a friend.

03/25/23 Saturday 4:40 A.M..  I went outside again.  I know a few things in this area that the Hearst California newspaper the https://www.greenwichtime.com/ sells over priced real estate.  A lot of the older homes were not that well built.  They can have problems with termites and carpenter ants eating away the foundations.  A lot of them have asbestos in them which is a health problem.  A lot of them have older electrical systems that are not up to today's codes.  The older ones with iron pipes can have the inside of the iron pipes corroded, so there is not as much water pressure.  Also older sewer systems can malfunction.  Also due to the harsher weather conditions in this area, roofs can deteriorate and leak.  Also some of the older homes are not that well insulated.  Also older heating and cooling systems with today's higher energy bills are not that efficient.  So despite the interior decoration and recent paint jobs, they are over priced.  Thus let the buyers beware.  In the old days, I saw a lot of older homes at tag sales that cheaper older people were trying to maintain, and although they were in prestigious neighborhoods, they looked to be maintenance nightmares.  CIO

03/25/23 Saturday 3:45 A.M..  I am about to eat five 3/16th inch thick slices of cold eye round of beef with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, with a medium baked potato with Smart Balance spread, and a 7 ounce pouch of Green Giant microwave baby Brussels sprouts with butter sauce and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 8:25 A.M..  I chatted with a friend with www.army.mil experience and very cold weather experience.  One of the times I visited www.dartmouth.edu , I learned the United States Army had their cold weather studies project up there.   Of course in the www.af.mil the Unites States Air Force and the Canadian Air Force used to have the DEW line up in Northern Canada, where it is minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  I used to see some of their people in the Florida Keys coming out of Homestead Air Force Base thawing out after a few months up in the far North.  Down in Key West, where some people have never been North, they used to call Greenwich, Connecticut Greenwich Village or Greenland, because to them it was awfully cold here in the winter particularly after Mount St. Helen's erupted on May 8, 1980, when in February 1982, it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, so further up North it was even colder.  Thus Florida has been busier ever sense.  I am no relation to Scott U.S.A., but maybe distant, and they are in Sun Valley, Idaho which is the ski resort the W. Averill Harriman developed with the Union Pacific Railroad. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO 

03/24/23 Friday 6:55 A.M..  I went outside again.  I moved the air purifier to the right side of the hallway bookcases.  I moved the shoes rack from there to the right side of the oak dining table like it was before.  I moved the www.apple.com Imac setup from the left side of the primary work setup to on top of the shoe rack like it was setup before.  It all works just fine.  I had to put two new AA alkaline batteries in its bluetooth wireless keyboard.  Thus one can work on it from the Queen Anne chair at the hallway entrance.  Its power turns on with the power strip behind the far end setup of the oak dining table which also turns on the LAN, but one still has to turn on the middle LAN to the right of the primary work computer setup. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  Sometimes sitting on an empty bench downtown in the morning is not worth it, one can get a bit of work done at home.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 5:05 A.M..  I know when we first moved to Greenwich is June 1962, my father had donated the awnings to the front porch of the Greenwich Country Club, but I am not sure what material they were made from.  The Greenwich Country Club as one of the oldest Country Club's in America had a connection with Queen Victoria, and there used to be a golf trophy in its lobby dedicated to Queen Victoria around 1870 donated by the Spalding Sports Company.  Greenwich has a lot of history.  I do know a lot of the so called long term residents came here after World War II, when Greenwich was a hospital zone treating wounded veterans, and some stayed and prospered in the post war economy.  The Greenwich Hospital was started by a member of President Harrison's family from Virginia too.  Greenwich has always been a summer retreat, since the railroad was built out here.  The first trans Atlantic radio broadcast has a memorial at Clapboard Ridge Road and North Street next to the old Frick mansion.

I will now go outside and drink a cup of coffee.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 4:55 A.M..  I went outside again.  When I knew Fred Von Mierers, he was supposed to be taking over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business, and Fred was in partnership with the architect Taylor Sterling who also had a house on Mayfair Lane in Greenwich besides an apartment next to the Citicorp building in Manhattan.  Since my father had worked for a division of Monsanto called Chemstrand which made Acrilan fiber used in expensive wall to wall carpeting that cost $100 a square yard and other synthetic materials https://interiordesignedu.org/acrilan/ , I figured the interior decorators could promote the carpet.  I know my father was once in David Rockefeller's office at the www.chase.com Plaza on Wall Street trying to sell the carpet.  Also Stillman Rockefeller here in Greenwich was on the board of directors of Monsanto as well as being the oldest alumnus of the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut; where his wife Nan Carnegie Rockefeller donated the Carnegie track and field house.  However, that is all ancient history compared to reality today.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 4:00 A.M..  I will now do the most important thing the forsaken Dutch can do in America which is to water the apartment plants.  One little daffodil plant is also blooming the woods here.  A diseased family friend once surrounded his house on the island on the waterfront with daffodils.  Also out on www.nantucket.net , when I was away around 1975, they planted a million daffodil bulbs on both sides of the road to Sconset.  They used to have a daffodil parade out there too, but nobody gave me a ride to it after donating my car to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop.  Also up here on North Street in Greenwich, Rene Anselmo the Spanish satellite guru planted a lot of daffodils on North Street between the North Street school and the St. Michael's Church.  A friend that knows landscaping told me that one has to dig them up every year and plant them further apart or they will choke each other off.  So much for Dutch gardening.  When I knew Fred Von Mierers at 420 East 49th Street in Manhattan  now the German Consulate in Manhattan, he claimed to be fourteenth generation Dutch New York, and some of the people he knew planted tulips on all of the islands on Park Avenue.  One of the first people he introduced to me was a Van Rensler that used to own all of New York State, so there.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 2:55 A.M..  I went outside again.  I am about to eat five 3/16th inch thick slices of cold eye round of beef with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, with a medium baked potato with Smart Balance spread, and a 7 ounce pouch of Green Giant microwave baby Brussels sprouts with butter sauce and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  CIO

03/24/23 Friday 2:20 A.M..  I put the NASA app on the other four Insignia Smart TVs in the apartment, so now all five Insignia Smart TVs have the NASA app on them.  I am not sure if the two Vizio Smart TVs or the Hisense Smart TV support the NASA app.  Also the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom window, and living room 32 inch Insignia TVs have the Roku devices on them which also support NASA TV.  When I first moved to Decatur, Alabama from Pensacola, Florida in 1956 with my family we were 20 miles south of Huntsville, Alabama where the Redstone Arsenal was and now the Marshall Space Center and now the small Space Force in Huntsville, Alabama.  When I lived in Key West, there were people from Cape Kennedy that had houses down there, and there was some sort of astronaut training going on down there.  Back then the astronauts might have been smaller people than myself, since every pound of pay load in Space cost two million dollars a pound.  So be nice to smaller people.  There is a lot of money invested in them.  Back in the old days in Manhattan, some of the computer people I was around liked listening to the song, "Short People."  CIO 

03/24/23 Friday 1:30 A.M..  One of my few friends in this area had his American Standard toilet crack after 15 years.  I was told by a neighbor that if one pours hot water down a toilet, it can crack it with the cold water in it.  It reminded my when I first met Frederick Von Mierers in October 1973, when he was working for Nelson Rockefeller; one of the people that he introduced me to was Richard Crane whose family had a big office building on Park Avenue near the Waldorf Astoria that owned https://www.craneplumbing.com/ that now own American Standard https://www.americanstandard-us.com/ and https://www.americanstandard-us.com/Toilets-list#Toilets .  The Crane family also have one of the biggest summer houses in Massachusetts.  Locally back around 1975, when the Briggs family in Greenwich owned American Standard I learned, one can get their products in Elmsford, New York near Sams Club there used to be a large wholesale  plumbing supply warehouse there, where I once bought a elongated yellow American Standard toilet seat for our old house in Greenwich on Cornelia Drive, which has sense been torn down.  I think it was up the road on the left from Sams Club.  Also back in 1973, I interviewed with a British Computer company in Elmsford, New York call, "Online Decisions" that made work station software.  They even had word processor software back then.  They even had an office at 666 Fifth Avenue near Rockefeller Center.  How times have changed.  When I first bought a personal computer back in September 1989, I tried to introduce myself at the www.ibm.com Watson Research laboratory nearby in Fishkill, New York, and they had a machine do a complete body scan of me, but they would not let me in, but they let in a lot of Europeans at the same time.  With the myriads of IBM offices around here, there is even one on the back road by the State Park by the Rockefeller Estate in North Terrytown, New York; so possibly they have something to do with it.

Back at the Science fair at the Prudential Center in Boston in the Spring of 1977, I met a www.army.mil Major that looked like Ronald Reagan that tried to recruit me for the Army.  I met a lawyer that lived on Beacon Hill, and afterwards, when I was crossing the Charles Street Bridge walking to Cambridge, I met a www.harvard.edu student that lived west of Kendal Square that put me up for the night.  In morning, I tried to hitch hike out of Cambridge, and I made it to the Howard Johnson's there for a dollar bowl of oatmeal, and then I hitch hiked up to Stowe, Vermont for two weeks to clean up the owners of the Languedoc restaurant on Nantucket's Sister Kate's bar there.  I had driven out of Key West in my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne dropping off Jimmy Eldert in Jacksonville to fly back to the University of New Hampshire after visiting Hurley Haywood there.  I gave that car away on Nantucket to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop with a lot of my personal belongings, since there was no room to park it on the narrow street at 31 India Street, where I would be staying that summer.  I think before that I did drive to the University of New Hampshire to see Jimmy, and we drove up to www.dartmouth.edu to check out the area.  I also stayed with Jimmy at the Exeter Inn in nearby Exeter, New Hampshire and at the Wilder Motel near White River Junction, Vermont.  I saw a lot of the University of New Hampshire students, and later without the car, I went to the Seabrook demonstration, and then hitch hiked down to Williamsburg, Virginia for a couple of days and then back to www.nantucket.net .  However, I also hitchhiked to Bowden College, where a friend of Jimmy's on Nantucket attended, and I also was given a place to stay at the Portland, Maine Y.M.C.A. .  I recall hitch hiking back from Stowe, Vermont, and visiting Manchester, New Hampshire where I found a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts, where I ate a bowl of oatmeal.  Jimmy also put me up for the night at a girl friend's basement near the University of New Hampshire.

03/21/23 Tuesday 6:15 A.M..  I checked out the Insignia 24 inch Smart TV in the kitchen.  I added the apps for BBC America and GBNews.  Also Sky News works just fine.  I practiced speaking English, since nobody around here seems to know too much English.  My mother spoke Dutch in Holland, Michigan until age 5, so I probably speak English with a Dutch accent.  I only had five years of high school French, but I can not speak it as fast as the French do.  I also had six years of high school Latin, so I can make a little bit of sense out of the Romance languages such as Italian and Spanish.  When I was in Spain and the Canary Islands in the winter of 1972, I spoke French; and when I was around all of the Spanish speaking people in Florida in the 1970s, I also spoke French.  Thus I ended up in French restaurants, and I guess the Spanish speaking people thought I was French.  However, when in Europe; and I speak both French and English, they assume that I am Canadian since both those languages are spoken up in Canada.  There were a lot of French Canadians in my travels around Florida in 1970s.  Jacque Cousteau was even down in Key West, when I was there.  People down South always assume that people whom speak another language besides English are Cuban, which with all of the tourists they get is not always the case.  I once saw former King Juan Carlos of Spain in Key West with 200 body guards, and I noticed he liked smoking Camel unfiltered cigarettes.  A friend of a relative whom owned Zebco Sports once told me he hunted with Juan Carlos in Spain.  When I traveled down the Costa de Sol via train in the winter of 1972, it looked a lot like Florida.  When I used Fred Von Mierers apartment at 420 East 49th Street in Manhattan from October 1973 to February 1975, he knew English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Farsi; so he could tell some of the foreign crafts people how to do their interior decorating skills.  The last time I actually chatted with him around 1988 at his new apartment on East 54th Street, he was reading several hundred year old books in Chinese, so he also knew Chinese.  He also preached religion from India on one of the first cable television channels in Manhattan.  Thus I think he had some communication skills that other people might not have.

End of Scott's Notes week of 03/19/23

03/19/23 Sunday 6:40 A.M..  I went outside.  I ate a one fifth piece of apple cranberry pie.  I finished installing the Windows 11 Updates on the new Gateway 11.6 inch laptop that I bought last August 31, 2022.  If one does not watch television all of the time, there is always something for me to do in my own personal situation room.

I will now send out my weekly notes.  CIO

I have just about finished updating  Windows 11 on the Gateway laptop.  CIO

03/19/23 Sunday 3:40 A.M..  On the Gateway 11.6 inch laptop, I am still installing the Windows 11 updates.  I put another power strip in front of the stainless steel cart to accommodate the two extra laptop plugs.  I hooked up the headset and the Brother Laser printer to it.  I have its blue case underneath the www.harvard.edu chair to its right.  I moved the Black and Decker Dust Buster from underneath the Harvard chair to the right side of the shoe bench at the entrance to the hallway.

03/19/23 Sunday 1:25 A.M..  Sky News on the smart televisions now comes up with a Search Engine interface.  I searched it for, "King Charles;" and I came up with an environmental news story that the King of England owns all of the ocean property surrounding the United Kingdom, and he is going to build wind mills for electricity on some of it, so by 2030, it will yield a billion pounds, all of which he will give to the Treasury, but in the Sovereign Grant, he gets 15% to 25% back for expenses like refurbishing Buckingham Palace.  I used to like watching the Sky News news feeds, but I guess for now, one has to know what to search for.

Casa Marina, Key West ocean webcam https://casamarinaresort.com/webcam/ .  I lived there in the winter of 1978 with John Bolton, when the place was under construction.  John Bolton had the key to the place.  It also had two hundred stray Hemingway cats, so the place when it was deserted was quite dirty and smelly.  Such is life.

I took some long train rides in Europe in the winter of 1972.  I traveled from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France.  From Grenoble, France I traveled to Barcelona, Spain two or three times.  Once I had to spend a boring night in the Lyon, France train station.  I also traveled from Barcelona to Malaga on the south coast of Spain.  I also traveled from Seville to Madrid and Madrid to Florence, Italy.  When I first arrived at the Barcelona train station, I exchanged money.  I had to walked down a few blocks of a street with Machine Gunners on both sides of the street, but when I reached Ramblas, it was full of people walking around.  I will now go outside and drink a cup of brewed coffee.  I once knew somebody from Sao Paulo, Brazil whose grandfather owned 20 million acres of coffee plantation, and he was always wired on coffee.  Like all coffee producing coffee, they probably have different types of coffee.  I never figured out where the Brazilian consulate was in Manhattan, but there used to be a Brazilian restaurant on East 53rd Street just east of Third Avenue near the British consulate.  Since I was only limited to English and five years of high school French, I am very limited in my International Communications.  Having studied high school Latin for six years, I used to make some sense out of Italian and Spanish though.  I also took the train from Rome to Florence and when I left Florence back to Rome.  CIO

03/15/23 Wednesday 3:10 A.M..  I chatted with the Alexa display some more.  It told me people frequently live over a hundred years old in Sardinia and Okinawa, Japan.  I ate a bowl of Kellogg's raisin bran with almond milk.  The Aga Khan has own Yacht Club in Sardinia.  The country with the longest life span on average is Monaco.  Thus a Mediterranean diet is good for long life.  CIO 

03/15/23 Wednesday 2:00 A.M..  I practiced speaking English.  I found the Bermuda and colorful striped flag in the top drawer of the white bureau in the bedroom.  I put them underneath the right front of the bed with the Dutch and the Saudi Arabian flags.  I still have the big 49 star U.S.A. flag in that drawer.  I bought that over thirty years ago for $5 from Mrs. Garland at the New Canaan Visiting Nurse thrift shop across the street from the New Canaan fire department.  I still can not fine the large Swedish and the large www.af.mil flags.  I could always order some, but it is not that important.  I have a picture of a famous four star air force general in my bedroom that I bought for $15 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop.  One of my first neighbors in this building knew that Air Force general.  I guess in my various travels only the Air Force was able to keep up with me for some odd reason.  When I first started working with home computers in September 1989, I chatted about computers some time afterwards at the Tuscon bar in Greenwich with someone whom was supposed to be the son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations.  Since he owned a $150,000 BMW, I figured it was true.  I chatted about Digital computers which the following week Compaq computers bought, so there.  Having grown up around a lot of Scottish people whom for better or worse might drink Scotch whisky, I might have learned a bit of a Scottish accent which is all that I can figure out.

03/09/23 Thursday 5:45 P.M..  As best I can tell, I have only seen King Charles three times in my life or possibly more.  When I first went down to St. Thomas in the fall of 1972, I was sitting at a pub at a ferry dock for St. John's and a British Naval officer was sitting next to me that looked like Prince Charles.  When I was living on West 74th Street in the summer of 1981, I watch then Prince Charles arriving at Lincoln Center for a concert.  The last time I was in Manhattan about 18 years ago, I walked up to the then Prince Charles in Grand Central Station looking at the new remodeling with two thousand people around him that looked a bit like Prince Andrew.  I did meet somebody in a waterfront pub during the Bicentennial  in July 4, 1976 that looked like Prince Charles, but he told me his family owned McCormick spices, and he was from Newport, Rhode Island.  Also in February 1978, I stayed with somebody that looked like Prince Charles at Paradise Island in Nassau in the Bahamas, but I guess it was just somebody that looked like him, but at the casino where we went to dinner, it looked like the A list of British Society, and there were four B.O.A.C. jets at the Nassau airport.  In the old days before the internet, people in America did not know much about British Royalty.  I also might have seen him at the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France in February 1992.  Possibly he was in Bermuda in April 1968, when I visited there.

03/01/23 Wednesday 2:35 A.M..  If one is bored in the early morning hours, one of the few places I know to chat with in the United States of America is the 24 hour telephone line at https://www.llbean.com/ .  I once chatted with the telephone person up there whom was a retired Navy Seal, and he told me they still  use DOS computers in Washington D.C., so they could not be hacked.  I told him the ship wreck of the H.M.S. republic off www.nantucket.net in 1917 was supposed to have a billion dollars in gold by today's standard, and it was in 400 feet of water and never recovered.  Myles McGough's father's company Wolfson Construction owned Merritt Chapman and Scott the salvage company which was supposed to have the salvage rights for the H.M.S. Republic.

03/01/23 Wednesday 1:15 A.M..  Here is what I looked like in Athens, Greece in May 1972 on a European diet at 135 pounds ate age 21 http://scott-mike.com/mlsgreece.jpg .  I guess the cheap wine in Europe kept me going.  I drove that $300 Opal from Athens to Selchuck in Turkey and too Istanbul too and back to Athens.  I learned to navigate the Greek alphabet on street signs.

03/01/23 Wednesday 12:45 A.M..  I learned in the winter of 1972, when I  was on the Lake Forest College renaissance art program in Florence, Italy; the Italians have very good food, but the pizzas have very thin crusts with just a little tomato sauce on them.  There are so many people in Europe, they are all very thin, and the food available does not go very far.  I only weighed 135 pounds back thin, so I did not eat too much.  On my side trip to Grenoble, France; I learned they ate horse meat, however when on the same side trip to Barcelona, Spain and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, the Spanish had a lot more food.  CIO

03/01/23 Wednesday 12:20 A.M..  I took the 32 ounce Acme Signature Pizza Supreme, and I put it on a round pizza pan.  I spread about a third of a cup of grated parmesan cheese on it.  I then seasoned it with garlic powder, Lowry's seasoned salt, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil.  I am baking it in the Oster electric oven on the upper rack at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes.  I will eat half of it with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.
