I made a pizza.htm using dough from my Welbilt bread machine and for the sauce, I use some defrosted tomatoe speghetti sauce with the hot Italian sausage. It was very tasty. I make in a square pan. I had two of the four slices, and I now have four slices left. I just finished watching a PBS documentary about crossing Canada by railroad. Well it was a quiet day. I think I might slip out for a short spell to mail to computer software rebate coupons, and take a short drive. Well have a good evening. CIO

I chatted with a few family friends and associates on www.dialpad.com . It seems to be working fine. I noticed that I had unplugged the power to the 2.4 gigahertz Bell phone, so it was totally discharged. I now have to totally recharge it. I had the rest of the spinich noodles with alfredo sauce and argentinian steak. Not much going on. I guess I will make pizza tomorrw. I will bring out the Welbilt bread machine and make some french bread. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/00 Saturday 11:00 A.M. EDT: I ran the normal group of utilities including Speedisk on C: and E: and I backed up C: to D: and E: to D:. The system is running fine. I finished off the biscuits while doing this. I took a nap from about 8 A.M. to 10:30 A.M.. I tinker with the television Optimum Online cable to make it clearer, removing a spliter. I have to Rebate envelopes to mail. Well have a good morning. I also sorted some papers around the computer. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/00 Saturday 5:00 A.M. EDT: Well I went to bed about 7:30 P.M., and I was up at about 3:30 A.M.. I made up a batch of home made biscuits. I had a couple with four medium soft boiled eggs, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I might do some routine computer maintenance. They system seems to be running fine without ZoneAlarm installed. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/00 Friday 4:50 P.M. EDT: Well if you're tired of the nonsense going on around here, try listening to some oldies music Index of /000000009/music8 . Well for now, I will just tune out the local community. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/00 Friday 3:05 P.M. EDT: I went out this morning after cleaning up. I stopped by downtown at Zyn's stationary and I exchanged two quarters for ten nickles. I then drove quickly down by the waterfront, and I chatted with a couple of people around Manero's about what happened. I also told some people downtown about what happened. I removed a florescent orange ribbon stripe from the parking meter near where I usually park. It was a normal morning. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop. I then went by the Greenwich Library. I read three computer newsweeklies. I toured the new books section. I departed for home. I recieved my ValueClick advertising check for the last three months for $34.92. Since I took the music off, and I had the server down doing maintenance, it was less than normal. I stopped by the Putnam Trust Bank of New York, and I cashed it. My arthritis had kicked in the damp morning weather, but I was still making it around. I then stopped by the ELDC thrift shop. I toured their merchandise. I stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich, and I bought at 90% discount three piece set of Advent Powered Partners Multimedia Speakers, 50 Watt 3-Piece High Powered Speaker System with Wall-Mountable Subwoofer regularly $149.99 for $14.99 plus .90 tax for $15.89 total. I took a bit of an exercise walk. I then went over to Old Greenwich. I stopped by CVS, and I bought a buy three get two free of Marlboro lights for $10.65 plus .64 tax for $11.29 total. I toured the Old Greenwich thrift shop. I went over to the Old Greenwich Food Mart. I avoided Tod's Point. I bought two Tropicana orange juice half gallons for $1.50 each and two dozen boxes of medium eggs for .99 each for $4.98 total. I next stopped by the Food Emporium in central Greenwich. I toured the store for quite a while. It has a very nice persentation of samples of different foods to eat along with a chef serving various food items. I sampled some of the items including cheese, sausage, sushi, bread, spinich soup with whole grain salad and catalope. I toured the store like the others getting some exercise. I bought a banana for .37 in case a Monkey and a Parrot are behind all the mischef recently. I returned home about 1:30 P.M.. I installed the speaker system, and it works great. Well I am a bit tired, so I will relax for the rest of the day. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/00 Friday 7:20 A.M. EDT: I chatted with a friend about the local situation. I made up a batch of 16 Fannie Farmer biscuits. I will go out for a breath of fresh air. Try to have a nice day. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/00 Friday 5:00 A.M. EDT: Well I believe I recall staying home on Tuesday. I did some routine maintenance work. I sorted my closets. I made a Spinich fetticini with ragu cheese sauce and Argentinian steak dish which I have been snacking on for the rest of the week. I went out on I believe Monday night or possibly Tuesday night and I bought a two buy three get two free of Marlboro lights 100s for $22.38 total. I drove directly home. I have been having corn flakes, toast, vitamins, coffee and orange juice for breakfast. I have been on a early mostly day time schedule this week. I put some food in the downstairs community room kitchen for any passing visitors or needy neighbors as a reserve food supply. I chatted with some local tenants about the immediate situation. I had to move the car on Tuesday for parking lot cleaning. After sifting and sorting various closet items, I maintained a relaxing schedule. I noticed, I believe on Tuesday afternoon, two eagles tagging each other above the apartment building I live in. I suppose, certain people in the area might be mistaking me for someone else. On Wednesday I took all the storage items out of the fall cieling in my apartment, and I sifted and sorted them. I stacked up a number of empty boxes. Now I don't have any odd items stored that might fall out of the cieling if we had a seimic event. I also cleaned up dust and debris along the electric radiators. I took the grass cloth off the black filing cabinet in the bedroom, and it was slightly singed by the electric radiator. I noticed that there were a couple of plant dried leaves by the electric radiators which don't get very hot during warmer radiators. I moved the laundry basket back in the bathroom, and a old trunk into the bedroom door entrance with items stores in it. I had a piece of nice carpeting that I put in the living room couch sitting area. It is the same as in the kitchen. I made my 3 P.M. appointment on Thursday. I threw out all the old boxes I had stores in the apartment. I also tossed the old stuffed Marlin on Wednesday. I went to bed about 6 P.M. on Tuesday, and I was up at about 1:30 A.M. today. I had the same breakfast, and I just finished doing my laundry. I had to go out to the Shell station for $2 in quarters. It is pretty much the same old routine. I am staying off the waterfront, and I am watching myself locally. I noticed that while taking a short stroll today, certain cars are driving around with either low test gasoline or bad timing that seem to make backfire noise while driving up hills. I would imagine that we have a group of local mischief makers in the area beside the usual high number of visitors and travelers. I took ZoneAlarm off the system, since it makes the system boot more smoothly. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>04/24/00 Monday 8:20 A.M. EDT: Well normal relaxing evening. Not much happening. Local group of trouble makers from neighboring towns are trying to pretend nothing happened. I might lay low for a while or go out. It depends on my instincts. I did a little routine maintenance. I through out paper garbage and bathroom garbage. I straightened up kitchen cabinet shelves a bit, and I made a grocery shopping list, but I don't know if I will do any grocery shopping today or not. I made up a new batch of ice tea. I really don't have much to do. I had some Chinese Indian brown rice, peanut butter sandwich, and iced coffee. Not much really happening. I suppose whom ever was firing the high powered sniper rifle from the Winged Foot Country Club tower might resume a normal day time job to cover their tracks. Unfortunately with modern surverillance techniques, I think someone out there know whom it was. I suppose for now we will to keep an eye on the individual or individuals to see what other activities they are up to. Not a lot going on as far as I know. I guess with for diplomats visiting and current serving politicians and other notables in the New York area, they might have a few disgruntled associates. From what I can tell in my somewhat neutral position I could have been mistaken for another individual although my car is unique. I suppose since I am the only person in Greenwich, Connecticut with a George W. Bush campaign sticker on my car, he might not be popular with the local Clintonites or Hitlerites or whatever we call them. Basically whatever your campaign viewpoint, one does have the right to violate or threaten another person's basic rights. For now on, I will maintain a more critical viewpoint of the community and our neighbors and any visitors. After all the volonteer efforts, I have done for the last sixteen years for basically nothing but subsistance wages, I will expect everyone else to do the same for the next sixteen years. Thus one should get use to a lower standard of living. Still it is necessary to keep the lights on and essential services going, but I would imagine security will be increased through out the community. Obviously no one ever bothers me, so I must have been mistaken for another community resident. Well try to have a good day and watch yourself when outside. It explains why a lot of the old time veterans have been taking cover. Obviously I was never in the military. CIO

Note:<888>04/24/00 Monday 2:50 A.M. EDT: Well I was up a little before midnight. I had three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I relaxed a bit. I decided since I don't know what is going on, I would change my infrequent broadcast sound.htm with a little light music from my apartment. I basically had a friend store a musical instrument in my apartment which I seem to know how to use, so I played it lightly using the Andrea electronics microphone on wide range setting set near to the musical device, and instead of doing a vocal broadcast, I played a little light music to relax by. Well let's see if it works. Have a good morning. I intend to have a relaxing day. CIO

Note:<888>04/23/00 Sunday 5:20 P.M. EDT: Well I finished my house cleaning this morning. I did a little fiddling around. I chatted with a couple of people. Not a lot happening. I suppose I could do something else, but I am tired. I noticed when I was out four sea gulls on the roof of one building and a crow on the ground. Not much else happening. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>04/23/00 Sunday 8:00 A.M. EDT: Well sifting through from what little I know, I figure someone is trying to send us a message or contact us about concern about the old time Canadian and United States flood control projects. Obviously from what we know, there is substancially more water in Northeast North America this spring than usual, and thus any of the historical dyke, damn, and resevoir networks which I think are built in step dam formation up to Hudson's Bay might be jeapardized or weakened by too much water falling and rain this spring. Thus although we are in the United States of America, it is more than like the Canadian Royal Corps of Engineers is trying to communicate with the United States Army Corps of Engineer over potential flood problems that could occur in this area. I do know last time I looked last spring, they were working on the dam between North Street and Lake Avenue, so maybe there are other problems in the dam network up north. All I know if too much water was coming out of the Canadian watershed, theoretically they could open the St. Laurence Seaway partway like open all the locks a third the way and let the water flow out to the ocean, I believe at the Bay of Funday or where ever it comes out. Well I hope everyone has an enjoyable Easter, and I am mostly done with my house cleaning. I still have to clean the kitchen, vacuum, and water the plants. I intend to remain inside today, since with my rather severe arthrtis this weather is not comfortable for my arthritis either. CIO

Note:<888>04/23/00 Sunday 4:40 A.M. EDT: I went to bed and was up at 3:30 A.M.. I reorganized my homepage, and I added a fifth dino. It has a music file LOP.mp3 . I just had three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I am relaxing listening to the second side of an older record play over and over to tune out the outside wind noise. The second of the album is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. It is the second side "Die Walkure" by Wagner on a London put out by the Radio Corporation of America "RCA", the guy with a dog. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>04/22/00 Saturday 10:20 P.M. EDT: Well I rested from 4 P.M. to now. I have Chinese and Indian rice mixture and yogurt and ice tea to eat during the day along with a peanut butter sandwich. I chatted with people through out the day. I don't feel like traveling around the town for obvious reasons. I finally figured out almost a 100 % sure the sniper at Tod's Point is firing the high powered rifle from the Winged Foot Country Club 13 miles west northwest of Tod's Point. It is a six to eight story structure with a large square tower. I don't recalling having been to the Westchester Country Club, so I don't think it is that structure. With the field glasses one can see the structure off in the horizon from Tod's Point. More than likely somebody got one of those new high powered laser sighted rifles that have a range of 20 miles as the crow flies. I guess they are not too accurate since the earth curves and the moisture and atmospheric conditions at that range would cause problems. I have told everyone over the telephone that I could think of. Well I was advised by the Military Police, it was probably some disgruntled former or present CIA employee. Needless to say the media probably won't publish it to protect our local kharma. Beside shotting at people whomever it is, is probably shooting at birds, so watch your crows when outside. I finally figured out in a situation like this that Lord Greystoke makes the best security chief. I think his friends can handle it. I am particularly upset since shooting at birds, one risks a Bodega Bay like happening like in the movie by Alfred Hitchcock, "The Birds". More than likely the general population should rest peacefully at home. I suppose we have a lot of specialists in the home. I am worried that somebody might have also tampered with the cigarette supply locally again. Traditionally there is a group of people whom travel through this area every spring called the "Travellers" whom are like "Gypsies" whom create mayhem and mischief in their travels. It would appear they have gotten more sophisticated and are also trying more dangerous tactics. Well I might rest a bit more. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>04/22/00 Saturday 8:00 A.M. EDT: I remembered the new resident from the Far East said something would happen during the first week of May. I was up some time during the early evening on Friday night. I has three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I relaxed most of the evening and morning listening to the weather and rain storms outside. I made a few calls checking on the weather. There are no reports of flooding locally in town. I checked with local security people in the area, and as far as I can tell no one knows anything more. I suppose anything could be afoot. From what I can tell, it is more than likely that certain resident experts or new arrivals have been misinformed as to the nature of the town of Greenwich and its residents. Primarily we are a business community, and from what I can tell, if they don't like what we publish, they should reference other publishing groups in the area, since certain groups like R.R. Donnelly out in Chicago, Illinois pubish over two million publications, and obviously they publish a little bit of everything. From what I can tell, people whom are not that well educated or know other languages should read their native language publications as opposed to publications that are not focused on their population group. Basically I focus on computer technology and the weather since the nature of the internet revolves around computer technology and the weather is universal. Also as a volonteer it has cost me most of my extra funds to run the site and to maintain it, and the small profit earned represents less than a tenth of what it costs me to run the site. Thus I made about $35 in the last three months. From what I know, certain people whom don't understand the concept of volonteering might be being taken advantage of. If you read the statement on the bottom of my homepage that has been there since I first posted it on the web, my advise still stands. Well from what I know the weather is lousy, so I will continue to stay inside since with my arthritis, I would not be comfortable outside. Well have a good morning. CIO
