House passes medical marijuana bill - UPI.com ,  border towns like Greenwich, Connecticut will probably see a large influx of marijuana buyers from New York State.  I guess the nearby 24 hours CVS on West Putnam Avenue will be a hot spot for the local trade at night.

I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I saw a green antique truck from New Hampshire with Kennebunk Savings: Banking | Insurance | Investment Services painted on the side.  I toured CVS on the way up Greenwich Avenue.  I sat out at various locations.  I chatted with a couple of locals.  I sat downtown for a while.  I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $8.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $4.599 a gallon for 1.742 gallons at odometer reading of 69853 miles for 19.4 miles driving since Monday April 23, 2012 for 11.137 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I cleaned the outside windows and headlights.  I returned home, and I chatted with some neighbors.  CIO 

Note: <888> 04/30/12 Monday 6:20 A.M.  I will now shower and clean up and put foot cream on my feet.  I will then go downtown to take an early morning walk.  Although I really do not have anything to do downtown, going downtown for an early morning walk for the cost of $2.50 in gasoline is a good way to get rid of "Cabin Fever" and see what is going on in the larger world of Greenwich Avenue.  There are a few early morning dog walkers, and on week days, we also get commuters heading towards the train station.  I have not been to Manhattan in about four years, when I went to the Microsoft conference, so Manhattan is a distant memory to me.  Besides from what I know on "Word on the Street" , one is not allow to smoke cigarettes in Manhattan, so they probably would not be very friendly towards me.  I did notice on my last trip on the north side of Welcome to Deutsche Bank – Passion to Perform across from the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue, they have an outside park with tables and chairs, where a lot of people do smoke cigarettes.  CIO

Drug Drop off in Greenwich, Connecticut:

April 24, 2012

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

This Sat - April 28th is the 4th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

 

The improper disposal of pharmaceuticals and over the counter drugs can hurt our environment and health.

 

Some drugs cannot be safely flushed or poured down drains because wastewater facilities are not designed to remove them. In some cases these drugs can find their way into our lakes, rivers and streams and into drinking water. Our environment depends on the proper disposal of prescription drugs.  Even expired medicines can serve as potent pollutants to our lands, waterways and especially Long Island Sound. 

 

Leaving unused or unwanted medications in the house can lead to unhealthy or illicit use. Children, babies and pets who have accidental exposure to medications can face long-term health problems and even death.  Adult and young adult family members can also be harmed by taking drugs that are expired or possibly not for their intended use.

 

We are fortunate in Greenwich to have a drop off site to bring unused and expired prescription drugs available to us not only for this particular day, but every day, around the clock:

Greenwich Police Department - 11 Bruce Place (Drop box located in the lobby)

We encourage you to take advantage of this reminder, do some "Spring Cleaning" and dispose of these hazardous matierials properly. 

Best regards,

 

Livvy Floren, State Representative 149th District

Lile Gibbons, State Representative, 150th District

Fred Camillo, State Representative, 151st District

Note: <888> 04/06/12 Friday 1:05 A.M.  I noticed the kitchen automatic hand soap dispenser was not working.  I took it apart, and the clear rubber tube that runs through the pump was clogged.  I used a thin coat hanger, and I unclogged the tube with hot water too, but I could not reassemble the device, since the end of the rubber tube would not stay on the base unit half inch long nipple and kept sliding off.  I put the parts in a plastic bag on top of the Ritz crackers underneath the toaster at the kitchen entrance.  Technically one could try to keep the rubber tube on with a small hose clamp that would be difficult to install in the interior base unit.  I guess the CVS antibacterial soap clogged the unit.  Possibly one should use a 50% antibacterial soap and 50% water mixture.  The other bathroom unit still works though, but it is a different model.  I moved the Lysol antibacterial soap dispenser from the bathroom sink to the right side of the kitchen sink.  CIO

I threw out the garbage.  I went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a four pack of day old muffins for $2.25, a four pack of day old sconces for $1.25, from the clearance shelf in the frozen food aisle two 40 packs of Militia white coffee filters for $1.10 each  and .14 tax for $5.44 total.  They still do not have 48 ounce containers of Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.99.  I went across the street to the A&P Fresh, and I bought two 48 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeals for $5.49 for $10.98 total.  I was told that the old Greenwich Radio station building next door that has been restored is going to be a health club.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I found a genuine United States of America One Dollar Bill in front of the Belgium Bakery on lower Greenwich Avenue.  It is from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Ohio serial number "D 66161218 F".  Since it has three sixes in the serial number, I call it the Devil's Dollar Bill.  Pinkberry on lower Greenwich Avenue Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt | Pinkberry Location | Greenwich is very popular with the after dinner crowd.  I chatted with repair people working on the front doors of the Apple computer store.  I recommended bullet proof glass from Diebold - Self-service, security and service solutions .  The repair people claimed that one could not break the glass doors, which everyone in the area knows is not true.  I recommended them installing insulation strips on the sides too, so they would not loose heat and cooling out of the building.  I toured CVS, and I chatted about photography with the photography department.  If you go in there when they are not too busy, one notices all sorts of items that one does not notice, when they are busy.   In the center aisle they have the 10 inch non stick green frying pans for $20.  The new consignment shop is opened on upper Greenwich Avenue with a full stock of items including lots of modern jewelry.  Officer Raccoon was patrolling the small park across the street from CVS.  It seemed to be a full moon out.  I sat out briefly, but I forgot to wear a sweater, so it was a bit chilly out.  I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $13.01 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $4.599 a gallon for 2.829 gallons 33.9 miles driving since Tuesday March 27, 2012 at odometer 69773 miles for 11.983 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/04/12 Wednesday 11:05 P.M.  On my first trip to Florida on my own during the third week of September in 1976, I had already filed for unemployment insurance in Stamford, Connecticut from my previous employer of Daniel Construction in Greenville, South Carolina.  I had limited funds, but I had Allstate Insurance of my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne, so I was able to cash a $20 check at any www.sears.com store on the way down to Florida or in Florida.  Thus I saw a number of Sears stores.  I already knew Arthur Wood Junior who had gone to www.harvard.edu and his father at the time was the President of Sears.  When I arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I maintained a low profile.  I refiled for unenployment insurance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but it did not arrive in the mail in Key West, Florida until April 1977, so I was in Florida on minimal funds.  I met Wiley Middleton who was a retired www.cadillac.com dealer from Manhattan, and he was friends with Brian Hibbs who was my age.  Brian advised against staying in Florida in the summer, because the heat was so bad, one had to cool off underneath the shower every hundred yards on Fort Lauderdale Beach.  Brian was from Cheshire, Connecticut, and he grew up a "Towny" around the www.yale.edu campus.  Brian's father worked for the John Hancock Insurance company out of Boston.  Thus at Halloween Time in 1976, when I made my first trip down to Key West, Florida, it was with Brian Hibbs.  Everything was boarded up, and there were not many people around.  Although I knew Rob Glore in Key West, I did not look him up.  Jimmy Eldert did not show up in Key West until about February 1977, when it was busy.   The renovation of the Casa Marina Hotel was being done by a friend of Jimmy Eldert's name Chris Ray.  Chris later died in a plane wreck in Lake Placid, New York where he was helping build the Winter Olympics compound there.  Jimmy Eldert's family owned a bank in New York State.  The Casa Marina Hotel renovation for the Marriott Hotel chain was being financed by the Equitable Life Insurance Company out of Chicago.  When I was down in Key West around Jimmy Eldert's friend, Brian Hibbs showed up out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but Jimmy did not like him, so Brian left shortly there after.  Since the most frequent car around the Casa Marina Hotel, when I was in Key West, Florida was a black Mercedes sedan from Missouri, I assume other people from the Midwest were also there along with a lot of Canadians.  CIO

I don't drink alcohol, but I know a lot of people in this area do drink alcohol, so I occasionally do a survey of Buy Wine Online, Wine Gifts, Wine Events - Varmax Liquor Pantry .  A good indicator of price inflation is 2010 Mouton-Cadet - Bordeaux White (1.5L) - Varmax Liquor Pantry which has doubled in price in the last few years.  I imagine since gasoline is much higher in Europe, the Europeans do not drive as much as we do, so they probably drink more wine and alcohol.  New York City people since a lot of them do not have cars also tend to drink more wine and alcohol.  I think this might be how the Rothschilds Prison Planet.com » Rothschilds & Rockefellers – Trillionaires Of The World make some money $1,299 2008 Château Mouton-Rothschild - Pauillac - Varmax Liquor Pantry .  Since they have been professional smugglers since the French Revolution, they are also good at hiding it.  I have a bottle of this in the refrigerator $7.99 NV Viña San Pedro - Chardonnay Lontué Valley Gato Negro (1.5L) - Varmax Liquor Pantry that I keep chilled for special occasions.
