Note:<888>4/30/99 Friday 6:30 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 7 A.M. this morning, and I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I recieved a phone call, and I chatted a while. I went back to bed until noon. I had a bowl of my onion, garlic, ham, and steak stew. I cleaned up and I went out. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds. I paid my rent at LaFayette Place. I went to the Greenwich Post Office and obtained money orders to pay my GEICO automobile insurance, my Northeast Utilities Electricity bill, and my MCI long distance bill. I walked around the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I walked up to the Hallmark card store, and I bougth a Mother's Day card, and a birthday card. I mailed the birthday card. I bought 20 stamps with artic animals on them. I drove by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop and viewed the merchandise. I went by the Greenwich library, and I read the local paper. I chatted with a local businessman. The entrance elevator broke down while I was there. They are cleaning up the new Peterson addition. From what I can see, it looks quite spacious. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and viewed the waterfront. Nobody was down there for a change. I stopped by Exxon and put $11 of premium in my car. I stopped by Var Max liquor pantry just across the border in Port Chester, New York on U.S. 1. I bought 4 bottles of $8 a bottle French white wine in the Clearence bin area for 3 for $10 or $14.22 total with .90 New York Tax. The wine is 750 ml Mas Neuf Costieres De Nimes white wine. I usually don't drink the wine, but mostly use it for cooking. I returned home, and I almost dropped the bag of wine in the parking lot. I said hello to one of my neighbors warming herself in her car. I went upstairs and put the wine away, and I had a glass of ice tea. I have a dinner guest coming down at 7:30 P.M.. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>4/29/99 Thursday 11:30 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and chatted with the staff. The last day the library will be opened until after the move is completed will be this Sunday. I left the library at 9 P.M. at closing and parked in the center of town. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I then walked the lower section again. I chatted with a few locals. It was a full house out tonight, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well my dogs are still killing me, so I think I will take a hot bath to soak my feet and take the chill off. Well have an enjoyable morning for those of you just starting out. CIO

Note:<888>4/29/99 Thursday 7:40 P.M. EDT: I had dinner of broiled center cut boneless porkchop with ground pepper and garlic powder on it with wostershire sauce along with microwaved potatoe, french green beans, and ice tea; and I am now making a cup of coffee. I suppose I will go out for a cruise afterwards. Have a good evening. Ah yes up in Westport, I believe they have a library on the harbor, and the people in Bedford, New York might have a library, but I can't recall just now where it is; and the Furguson library is suppose to still be in Stamford.. CIO

Note:<888>4/29/99 Thursday 6:35 P.M. EDT: I recieved a phone call at noon, and I went out and dropped off the Sony Diskman player with a passenger going to Manhattan from the Stamford, Ct. train station. I returned to Old Greenwich and surveyed the waterfront from the South West Point at Tod's Point. Quite a few people were out there on their lunch breaks, and staying in touch with their cell phones. I stopped by the Hyatt Hotel in Old Greenwich and it was not too busy. Dun and Brad Street were having a meeting there along with a chemical company. I next drove back to the center of town and viewed the merchandise at the Hospital Thrift shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and somebody into religion preached religion to me on the bottom of Steamboat Road. I viewed the waterfront again for a while. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Greenwich Library, and chatted with one local user. I believe the library will be closed for three weeks for moving starting on Monday. I recommend other libraries in the area are the New Canaan library, the Ridgefield library, the Darien library, the Cos Cos library, the Pequot library in Old Greenwich, the Byram library, the Rye library, the White Plains library, and the Sony Purchase library. I guess I will be surveying the waterfront more with the library closed for three weeks. Also it is rumoured that Yale University has a library. I next parked in the center of town and walked around lower Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with one fellow from Texas installing new seats at the Avenue movie theatre. I chatted with a dog walker in the French park town green. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and chatted with the waterfront regulars. I returned home about 6 P.M., and I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well some people were wondering if I knew anything about the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, and I explained to them; I had not looked into the matter. Well my dogs are killing me, so I guess it is time to start relaxing. Have a good evening. Time to watch the ABC evening news. CIO

Note:<888>4/29/99 Thursday 11:10 A.M. EDT: I defrosted my garlic onion ham and steak stew, and I microwaved a soup bowl of it for eight minutes on power 8, and I had it for lunch. In about 20 minutes, I will have finished making another batch of ice tea. I am not using the wine in the ice tea recently, because of budget short falls, at present I can't afford a cup of wine a week that I use to use in the ice tea, but it still tastes fine. Check icetea.htm for the recipie. Basically I just make ice tea like Sangria, which is a popular wine cooler in Spain. I remember the old days of sipping Sangria at the Bethesda foundain in Central Park on hot summer days. Well I plant to depart at noon, if I don't recieve the call about the Diskman before then. It is a nice day, so I guess I will be floating around town for the rest of the day. CIO

Note:<888>4/29/99 Thursday 10:20 A.M. EDT: I went to bed about 4 P.M. yesterday. I recieved a phone call about 6 P.M., from someone who wants me to drop off his Sony Diskman today. He is suppose to call between 10 A.M. and noon.. I was up at 4 A.M. this morning. They had a test of the Emergency Broadcast system at 4 A.M. on channel 6. I had Kelloggs Raisin brans, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee; and I went back to bed until about 7 A.M. when I finished my coffee. I cleaned up, and I went out about 8:15 A.M., and I stopped by Exxon for $5 of premium. I noticed a black Cadillac four wheel drive vehicle there with a Marty Motors license frame. I guess Cadillac now makes four wheel drive sport utility vehicle. It looked pretty sleak. I went downtown and lingered around the center of town until 9:15 A.M.. I drove down to Steamboat Road, and I chatted with some of the waterfront observers. I noticed a rat eating bread around the garbage container. I returned home to wait for the phone call between 10 A.M. and noon, and then I am out of here. It is a very nice day out. I have to do a little internet work. Well have a good morning. I have a 3 P.M. appointment this afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>4/28/99 Wednesday 12:50 P.M. EDT: I went to bed about 8 P.M. last night. I was up about 4 A.M., and had breakfast of Kelloggs Raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I did a little internet work, and went back to bed until 10 A.M.. I sifted through my email and regular internet work. I had three fried eggs, five strips of microwaved bacon, toast, orange juice, and coffee. I updated Scott's Weekly broadcast sound.htm . Well have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>4/27/99 Tuesday 9:10 P.M. EDT: I went out after starting the tape backup. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and took a peek at Long Island Sound. I went back to the center of town and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I went to the Greenwich Library and read two computer newsweeklies. I drove back to the town and viewed that dark blue or green 727 coming in at about 10:10 A.M. from the top of Greenwich Avenue. By the time I got to the bottom of Steamboat, I noticed a foreign automobile with a State Department license plate. I returned to the upper part of Greenwich Avenue, and I walked down to the Mews thrift shop. I walked back up, and I stopped by the Gourmet cook shop. They have a $500 automatic cappaicinno espresso machine there along with other fine culinary items. I returned to my car, and I drove over to the Food Emporium. I bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $2.05 and two thich boneless center cut pork shops at $2.99 a pound for $3.14 for a total of $5.19. I returned home and the computer had gone to reboot. I fiddled with the backup program and finally reinstalled it. I started another tape backup. I broiled a center cut pork shop and ate it with wostershire sauce, french green beans, potatoe, ice tea, and coffee. After I finished my meal, I noticed the computer had once again shut down. I finally started the tape backup without the cable modem turned on at 3 P.M. and by 8:30 P.M. this evening, I had a complete tape backup. I went out at 3 P.M. and I drove to the Greenwich library, and read the Greenwich Times. I chatted with a couple of locals. I mentioned that if we cause Naval conflict with the Russians in the Mediterranian, it might jeapardise oil supplies from the Middle East. I went back down to Greenwich Harbor, and I chatted with another local. I returned to the center of town around 5 P.M., and I chatted with another local. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I observed today, that a lot of people on low budgets drive automobiles that need high test fuel, but since they put in low test fuel; their automobiles are always knocking. I returned back home at 6 P.M.. I watched the ABC evening news, and I went to bed at 7 P.M.. I just woke up at 8:30 P.M. to the complete tape backup. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well I had a long day, and system maintenance is done; so after reading the headlines, I will go to bed. CIO

Note:<888>4/27/99 Tuesday 8:25 A.M. EDT: I ran scandisk and then defragged the C: drive. I had some speghetti for lunch. I am just about to start a tape backup and go out. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>4/27/99 Tuesday 4:45 A.M. EDT: I went to bed at 3 P.M. yesterday afternoon after having a spegehetti dinner. I got and watched a bit of television around 9 P.M. to 11 P.M.. I ate some breakfast at around midnight of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I went back to bed until 4:15 A.M., and I just finished my coffee. I removed the antivirus demos from my server. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/26/99 Monday 10:50 A.M. EDT: I finished sifting through my email, I am going to run the Norton Anti Virus 5.0. I recieved email that the New Apps News Letter of April 20 contained a virus, possibly the one that I found of the Chernobyl. Well enjoy the morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/26/99 Monday 9:05 A.M. EDT: For those of you are worried about the Chernobyl Virus, I have posted the Norton Antivirus for Windows 98 30 day demo http://mrscott.com/nav9xtr.exe and the McAfee Antivirus 4.02 30 day demo http://mrscott.com/v98i402e.zip . I hope you get them in time. CIO

Note:<888>4/26/99 Monday 8:25 A.M. EDT: I went to bed about 3 P.M. yesterday. I recieved a call. I woke up once. I finally got up about midnight and had breakfast of Post Almond Oats, toast, coffee, vitamins, and orange juice. I watched the History Channel for a couple of hours including a special on the Leopold sinking of World War II. I went back to bed and got up about 6:30 A.M.. I watch part of ABC Good Morning America, and I had another breakfast of a 3 egg omlette with herbs and spices, toast, and five strips of bacon, orange juice, and coffee. I will catch up on the last few days of email. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 1:50 P.M. EDT:Emergency Note: I downloaded Symantec Trialware for United States Symantec Anti Virus Program 5 for Windows 98 30 day demo, and it found the Chernobyl Virus 26th of the month virus on my computer. I hopefully have fixed it with the program. You better download and sweep you drive, before midnight tonight. I am in a blah mood. I tried to rest, and I just had spegehetti and ice tea for dinner. Well I hope you don't get the Chernobyl virus. I received suspicious mail from Amsterdam, that might have sent it to me. Well have a good afternoon. I don't know whether I will go out or not. I am just about ready for bed or a nap. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 8:35 A.M. EDT: I went out after last message. I drove down to Steamboat Road and viewed the sunrise. I drove over to Tod's Point and parked at the Windsurfing area, and viewed the skyline of Manhattan. One can see most of the waterfront from there. I walked out to the tip of the Point and viewed Long Island Sound. I could see a large barge or freighter moving slowly west along the North Shore of Long Island towards Manhattan. It did not have a bridge as far as I could tell, which was very peculiar. I returned to the center of town and drank my coffee out of the thermos downtown. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and returned back home just now. There were a few people out, but it was not very busy. It is colder and damper in the early morning. I guess today's weather will pretty much be like yesterdays. Tomorrow the aniversary of Chernobyl, there is suppose to be a computer virus that might be activated. McAfee.com : Download : Evaluate : Choose Product to Evaluate is the site to download antivirus software to look for it, but possibly if you have used the time expired demo once, it might now work again. I will go back and do a little computer work, not much else to report on. Have a relaxing morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 5:30 A.M. EDT: I had lunch of three large scrambled eggs, five strips of crispy bacon, toast, ice tea; and I made a thermos of coffee to take with me. I showered and cleaned up. Well it should be daylight in another hour, so be sure to bring your sun glasses. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 4:40 A.M. EDT: We also need to start thinking about planting Victory Gardens, Scrap and Paper drives, and also increase Red Cross Blood donation drives. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 4:30 A.M. EDT: I finished cleaning the apartment and watering the plants. I have been listening to the BBC Radio 5 Live . I was just thinking that since the U.S. Navy is 10% to 20% short of personnel, and moreover since the British Navy is a Commonwealth as well as NATO ally. They could do like they did in the old days, and start working the Black Jack Gangs along the waterfront in NATO ally and Commonwealth countries to find some extra personnel to fill the births on board the ships. This may or may not work in a modern NAVY and might violate certain cival rights, but during time of Military conflict it is necessary to recruit as many personnel as possible to fill the ships. Also International Red Cross and American Red Cross Hospital ships might need to start being put into action and being prepared for any contingencies. I also have to shower now, and have a bite to eat. I guess I will go out about sun rise to get a little day light. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/25/99 Sunday 2:00 A.M. EDT: I installed the Japanese languarge database on my web browser because of a psychic command. I went out at 8 A.M. yesterday. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and chatted with one local former neighbor who was feeding Charlie the squirrel peanuts on a cool sunny morning. I returned to the center of town, and I walk the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat in the Post Office plaza relaxing on a bench enjoying the flowers. I noticed a sign on the Post Office door, that they need a letter carrier with drivers license for $9 an hour. I guess one would have to have sharp eyes to read all that mail. I next headed up to the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop and toured the store. Quite a few gals seem to be in there looking at the women's clothes. I next headed over to the Greenwich Library shortly after opening and chatted with a local acquaintence. He gave me a newspaper clipping about the official time at midnight versus noon being P.M. and A.M.. I chatted with library security about the weather. It was a sunny dry day, so my arthritis did not bother me. I next returned to the center of town, walked around lower Greenwich Avenue for a couple of times. Lots of young soccer players were practicing in the fields, and there were a few dog walkers walking their dogs on leashes. I noticed the usual number of morning strollers, along with morning shoppers. One tends to see the local population downtown on weekends, so it was all quite festive. I tried chatting with a couple of locals about my idea of building a Dyke from New Jersey to Staten Island and to Long Island with Locks for shipping to pass through to divert the fresh water downward flow of the Hudson River up Long Island Sound, instead of out New York Harbor. I think many thousands of years ago it ran that way. It might be a project worth studying, and since the Dutch built a similar dyke system in the west of Holland years ago, it is feasable. I stopped by the Mews Thrift shop, and they have a few new pieces of old furniture. I told them about the Dyke plan. One stroller told me that NATO joined Hungry on Friday, which I had not seen in the news. I returned home at noon. I sat around thinking about fish stories until about 4 P.M., and I then went to bed. I have found an old baseball that a Dog chewed on, and a small basketball pen lying around town. I was up at midnight, and I had breakfast of Post Almond oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I will start cleaning my apartment shortly. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/24/99 Saturday 7:45 A.M. EDT: I've been relaxing telling myself fish stories, for the last few hours. The laundry is done, and I guess I will go out for a little day light. Enjoy the morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/24/99 Saturday 3:55 A.M. EDT: I started a C: drive to D: drive backup. I went out about 12:30 A.M.. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I heard four fishermen letting off steam. I walked back around to the center of town. I walked back around the train station also. I noticed a workman's train on the tracks, and a Metropolitan Transportation police car at the train station. I noticed that somebody has a moving truck at the Greenwich Office plaza. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road. I drove to the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I parked, and walked down to the bottom of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed the four fishermen still letting off steam on Greenwich Avenue. Your usually don't hear loud people on Greenwich Avenue, so they stood out. The Canine Squad was also at the Bankers Trust building, they also had a flat tire. I walked around the front of the train station area and back to the center of Greenwich Avenue. I sat in the center of town for a while watching people depart from the bars. The weather is very cool and damp. I guess the volcano in Alaska caused it, and I think it might have a more forcefull erruption soon. I walked back up to the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I drove back down to the bottom of Steamboat Road. I stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and told them about the Volcano. I drove around downtown for a while. One person with Nantucket and Chicken Box stickers tried to stop me, thinking I was Craig. I finally went to the Grand Union and bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.72. I chatted with the floor waxer from Pennsylvannia. I returned home and started my laundry which goes on the dry cycle soon. I am boiling speghetti noodles, and after I put the laundry in the dryer, I will have a speghetti dinner. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>4/23/99 Friday 9:55 P.M. EDT: Well IBM was up a bit yesterday, and today's Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well I was up at 8 P.M. today, and I had breakfast of Post Almond Oats, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. There is not much happening. Yesterday I was up 29 hours in a row. However I was up at 3 A.M., and I did a little internet work in the morning, and I then rested until about 1 P.M. not doing much. After some chicken salad, I went out about 2 P.M. and toured the hospital thrift shop. I suggested to one of the patrons at the shop wearing a Channel No. 5 sweatshirt, they should drop a gallon of Channel No. 5 at Westchester Airport to get rid of the smell of Jet Fuel in the building. Later in the evening, I got to thinking about a cheaper way to make a quick air freshner. I figured in a pint container of bowl, one can cover the bottom with an eight of a inch of lemon oil, and then stir in about 4 ounces of water and stir, and then stir in about two teaspoons of baking powder, and let the solution bubble up a lemony air smell for a days, adding a bit of baking powder when needed. Since I smoke cigar cigarettes in my apartment to save money, it is a little smelly like all smokey apartments, but since I once lived in the tropics and to avoid small nats, no seeims, and mosquitoes; people frequently smoked cigarettes. I believe in Queen Victorias time there was a definative paper written on the subject. Well after making my 3 P.M. appointment, I drove down by the waterfront. I saw one of the regular Greenwich Avenue and waterfront walkers whom I have seen for years. I noticed one gall was intimidated by a red dump truck waiting for her to cross the road. I chatted with one of the regular waterfront neighbors. I guess we have colder weather because of the volcano in Alaska. I have frequently mentioned that if one felt a security problem, and they had the money they could rest easy in the cold weather at the Lodge up at Lake Louise in Canada, of course they would have to deal with a lot of fun loving Canadians whom don't seem to mind cold weather. Of course if you were small, and were Dutch, I know of a Dutch cheese salesman in Mattrich, in the Netherlands whom is about the largest man I have every seen, whom would be a good body guard, but it would cost a fortune to feed him, and less he brought his own cheese. Well after viewing the harbor, I returned to the Greenwich Library, and I disgussed world politics with one of the regular users, making sure all the neighboring readers heard every word I said. I then read the Greenwich Times. I returned home about 5 P.M. and relaxed a bit. I sat around thinking for quite a while, and before I knew it was about 2 A.M.. I went out for a walk on Greenwich Avenue at 2 A.M. and viewed some other night walkers. Realistically most of the walkers between the Greenwich Hospital and the train station are night staff going back and forth to home, along with a few strollers from the Greenwich Harbor Inn. I walked around the Greenwich Harbor Inn and chatted with the regular night desk clerk. I returned up to the center of town. I sat in the post office plaza for a while. I walked the lower section by the Rolls Royce dealership and back up Arch street, and sat in the Post Office plaza again. It was a very quiet cool night almost too quiet, yet there are always a few people out and about. I returned home at 4 A.M., and I made an Elos pizza and had it with ice tea. I relaxed around the apartment thinking until about 8 A.M. and I then went to bed after being awake for 29 hours. It is important when on a night schedule, not to let the daytime people speed you up or distract one with their routines. People who sleep all day, don't like being woken up by phone calls in the day either, unless it is an emergency. Still most people know I am a night owl, and I have been for quite a long time. Well back to normal routine, have a good eveing. CIO

Note:<888>4/23/99 Friday 8:10 A.M. EDT: Well I have been up for the last 29 hours, maintaining usual routine. Time for a little rest. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>4/22/99 Thursday 6:30 P.M. EDT: I made the usual rounds today. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>4/22/99 Thursday 3:20 A.M. EDT: I stopped by the Korean grocery also on Greenwich Avenue yesterday, and viewed their fine selection of produce and flowers. I noticed while in the store what looked to be a black wasp or hornet that one normally does not see in this area at least downtown, so maybe in their importation of produce they brought in a non indiginous insect. Since it was in the store that is open to the outside, it is probably from a warmer climate trying to stay warm. They have little french mellons their like I believe they grow in the south of France and in Tahiti. I just had breakfast of Post Almond Oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitmains and supplements. Well I guess I am awake, so I will try to do a little bit of my regular internet routine. CIO

Note:<888>4/22/99 Thursday 2:10 A.M. EDT: I went back out at 3 P.M. yesterday. I chatted with one of my neighbors who is on a walker who is having her 92nd birthday today. I went back downtown and I stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop and I noticed the golf cart had sold. I went downtown and I parked in the center of town. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by McArdle McMillan and viewed their greenhouse and chatted with some of their staff and customers. I stopped by Diane's bookstore, and the told me they would have their internet site up and running soon. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again. I noticed that work is still progressing on the new Richard's men clothing store, and they are working on taking out the gasoline tanks. I suggested to Richard's staff that they take a video series of shots with a video recorder showing the new store going up. I walked up to upper Greenwich Avenue after sitting in the park. I noticed that the cloud formations that we have are not necessarily what one would expect after an erruption in Alaska, so maybe what we have up there in Alaska is merely a pre eruption. I stopped by Waldenbooks. I walked back to the center of town, and I chatted with a local in the center of town. I went down to the waterfront and viewed the harbor. I chatted with one regular harbor viewer. I went back up to the Greenwich Library and I toured the library. I chatted with a visitor from Durham, North Carolina about traveling around many colleges in the country, and he told me Duke University is well known for its medical school. I told him I last visited Duke in 1976, the same weekend I visited Chapel Hill. As I recall Duke has a lot of red brick buildings with white trim and a lot of red clay in the surrounding farm land. It is a beautiful campus, and the people I saw and met with in Durham, North Carolina were very friendly. I next briefed one of the librarians that Tony Blair had flown to Washington D.C. for talks with the adminstration on Wednesday, and I chatted with her about Canadian affairs in America. I returned home about 7 A.M. and relaxed and went to bed after a few bites of cheese. My arthritis was acting up yesterday because of the damp weather, which is very common this time of year. Well I am not sure if I am awake for the evening, or if I will go back to sleep. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , the market did quite well yesterday. Have a good morning. CIO
