Note:<888>05/14/00 Sunday 7:15 P.M. EDT: I was up at noon today. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins. I tweaked the computer system a bit, and it is all running fine. I finished cleaning the house and watering the plants. I put one small palm plant in the community room, so it can get more light. I replaced the air filter on the Volvo and put a new one in. I tried reinserting the brake failure light on the dashboard, but the new master brake cylander does not have the brake warning light feature, so I left it out. I tried fixing the car clock, but it still does not work. I put it back in with face upside down, so one knows it is broke. I put in the other three beach chairs in the back seat passenger side, so I now have six beach chairs in the car. I sorted some of the other items in the car. I just had dinner of the ramaining container of Mulligan stew along with ice tea and coffee. I will now clean up, and I will go out for some fresh air. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/14/00 Sunday 3:35 A.M. EDT: I went out for a walk on Saturday morning at midnight. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home. I went to bed about 3 A.M. after having some corn chips and ice tea. I was up at about 10:30 A.M. awake by a telemarketing call. I tried fixing the problem all day until now with problem of reinstalling Windows 98 second edition. Although the system runs fine, I am not able to reinstall the operating system because of some of problem with the way the Diamond Stealth video adaptor is configured and a problem with a *.vxd file that is part of its driver. I will tried reinstalling the operating system, but once the Windows 98 Second Edition was installed from scratch and the backup original system restored, it still did not reinstall properly. I did this twice which took some time. Once I had the system up and running and other components reinstalled, I ran Norton Disk Doctor, Norton WinDoctor, Norton SpeedDisk, and then I did a C: drive to D: drive backup. I have the system running fine. I turned off the Screen Saver and the monitor energy saving feature which might be causing the system to halt. Well for breakfast around noon, I had Kelloggs corn flakes, toast, orange juice and perrier, coffee, and vitamins. I went out about 7:30 P.M., and I stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich. I then stopped by CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza, and I bought a carton of Phillie Sweet cigar cigarettes for $14.19 plus .85 tax for $15.04. I drove down by the waterfront. I had recieved a NOAA weather warning about an incoming storm, and when I returned home the NOAA weather warning went off a half dozen times until about 9:45 P.M.. I had potatoe chips, ice tea, and two cans of Armour Vienna franks with Bournier Dijon mustard and Lea and Perrins Worstershire sauce for dinner. A little while ago I also had some potatoe chips and orange juice with Perrier. I also made up 12 quarts of ice tea icetea.htm . Well have a good morning. Time for bed time. CIO
Note:<888>05/12/00 Friday 11:35 P.M. EDT: I put together a Microsoft Media Player Audio and Video broadcast sound.htm , which plays about 10 minutes and is for high speed baud users since it is over 100 megabytes long. I used the Microsoft Media Player encoder with the new computer camera. I had dinner at about 9 P.M. of my defrosted reheated stew along with potatoe chips, ice tea, and coffee. I tried uninstalling the Diamond Stealth Video card to see if I could reinstall Windows 98, but it still did not install properly. I might try deleteing the video drivers, and reinstalling it that way later on sometime. I reinstalled and updated the Diamond Stealth video drivers, and the overall system is running fine. Well I guess I will go out and mail my Ezonics $30 rebate. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/12/00 Friday 3:35 P.M. EDT: I was up at about 2 P.M.. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, vitamins, orange juice and Perrier, and coffee. I put the trunk with a green beach towel on it behind the blue sofa next to the computer chair upright with two large plants on the end. I have the Ezonics Camera $30 rebate ready to mail in. The computer seems to be running fine. I listened to some computer news on the net. Well have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>05/12/00 Friday 5:00 A.M. EDT: I was up at 1:30 P.M. yesterday. I had breakfast of a biscuit and orange juice and Perrier. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I then stopped by the Bank of New York on Mason Street. Next I headed up to CompUSA in Norwalk, Connecticut. I bought a Ezonics EZ Cam USA for $49.99 orr $10 plus $3 tax for $52.99. It also has a $30 mailin rebate. I then drove back down, and I drove through Tod's Point. I then stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich. I then drove down by the waterfront. I returned home, and I had dinner of the frozen stew I defrosted along with Strawberry sugarless ice cream with the strawberries, I made last night. I then tried reinstalling Windows 98, but I had a problem with the video driver. I tried reinstalling the video driver and also the networking to no avail. Once I got the system running after many hours about 2 A.M. this morning, I installed the Ezonics camera along with the software it came with. The system is running very fine. I will run Norton Speed Disk, and then I will start the server. Well I munch on some corn chips this morning. I put a strip of blue carpeting along the front of the blue sofa, so it is more even. I also put the trunk by the end of the sofa with a green beach towel on it with a couple of green pillows on it. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/11/00 Thursday 8:45 A.M. EDT: Well I made up a batch of biscuits last night. I chatted with somebody. I finally fell asleep about 3 A.M.. I just got up a little while ago. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/10/00 Wednesday 10:45 P.M. EDT: Well it was thundering and lightning out when I went out about 7 P.M.. I stopped by Staples in Port Chester, New York. I went by Odd Job Trading, and I noticed they have the Mr. Coffee cappacino machine for $19.99 at half price. I also noticed they have the Microsoft Web TV for $60 and the keyboard to go with it for $30. However, one can only use it with the telephone line, it does not work with cable internet access. I stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich watching the severe lightning along the Boston Post Road while I drove over there. I took an exercise walk in the store. I then went by Greenwich Library, and I paid a $3.10 library fine. I noticed intense lightning around the building. I then took an exercise walk around the Food Emporium. I noticed they have Weight Watchers 40% off. They also have $5 to $6 packages of boneless breast of chicken for $1.99 a pound. I then went to the Grand Union across the street. I bought at .99 a pint two boxes of California strawberries and a five pound bag of GU flour for $1.59 a pound for $3.57 total. I returned home, and I started drying the banana yeast again. I cleaned and sliced both boxes of strawberries. I added a little Peppermint Schnaps, Florida Ruby Red orange juice, Angostora bitters, and ground cinnemon, and I mixed it all together. I then stored the strawberry mixture in a rubbermaid container, and I put it all in the refrigerator. Well not much else happening. It has quit thundering and lightning. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/10/00 Wednesday 6:30 P.M. EDT: Well I straightened up the apartment a little bit. I found my old photographs. I had put the photos from the old green album into one of the newer albums. I had a Stauffer's Hearty mealoaf dinner along with ice tea and cappacino. I am trying to dry the banana yeast on the lowest setting in the toaster over. I don't know if it will work or not. I guess I will clean up and head over to the library. Unfortunately unlike yesterday, today is very cool about 45 degrees Farenheit and damp. I just got a call from UCC TotalHome For Remodeling, Building, Refurnishing and Buying At Dealer Cost! telemarketing their business. It is a bit damp out, so I will try to stay out of the rain, and not aggrevate my arthritis. Well have a quiet evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/10/00 Wednesday 4:35 P.M. EDT: Well I stayed up yesterday. I went out in the morning after having breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, bread, orange juice, perrier, and vitamins. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and did some business after driving by the waterfront. I bought a Scotch tape strip holder for $2.12 at Staples in Old Greenwich. I bought a 7.5 watt night light bulb at the Old Greenwich thrift shop for .50. It was a nice day. I then headed back home, and I told the Chris Shay's campaign office where I got the George W. Bush sticker what happened. I then checked prices at the local appliance store for Frederick air conditioners, but mine is working fine. I then stopped by CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by the Gourmet cooking shop across from where I parked. I stopped by the Arnold Bread store and purchase three loave of bread for $2.97 of the 12 grain bread. I put my items away, and I had more perrier and chips. I went downtown and bought $15.85 of premium at Exxon next to the library, and I stopped by the Mews thrift shop, and I purchased a British flag made out of Daycron or some other waterproof material 3 feet by 5 feet for $15. I noticed quite a few new items. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home, and I hung the British flag from the curtains above the dining table. I then went out and stopped by the Fashion Light center, and I bought four 15 watt frosted candle bulbs for $5.72 total. I stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought a bag of tortilla chips for $1.99, a 12 pack of Kleenex toilet paper for $2.99, a half gallon of Florida Natural orange juice for $1.99, GU old fashioned oats for $1.29, and GU white 1000 sheet toilet paper .59 for $9.06 total. I then returned home, and I put away the items. I made a few telephone calls. I had corn chips and ice tea for dinner. I went to bed about 8 P.M.. I was up at 7 A.M. today. I had some corn flakes, toast, perrier with orange juice, and vitamins. I rearranged the items in the apartment putting all hanging items back in their place, since I feel the heigth of the solar flare is over, and any effects from it would be over. I put most of the Perrier underneath the day bed. I put some in the refrigerator, and rearrange the rest, so the apartment looks cleaner. I went back to bed, and I was up at about 3 P.M.. I guess I was tired. I think we have a very bad allery season in the area, so if one has allergy effects, one would not have felt well outside yesterday. I feel better today staying inside. Well have a quiet evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/09/00 Tuesday 5:35 A.M. EDT: Well I went out a little before midnight, and I drove over to CVS at the Riverside Plaza, and I bought two buy three get two free of Marlboro lights 100s for $21.30, and a can of Planters mixed nuts for $2.99 plus $1.28 Ct. 6.0% tax for $25.57 total. I returned downtown. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and it was a quiet night. I walked up towards the middle of town. I checked out the general weather. From my viewpoint of modern techtonics, if the volcanic butte Mount Charlimaine were to explode north of Yale University this morning, it would be about 7 A.M. EDT. Quite frankly after sleeping a 100 million years, it would be hard to expect it to wake up suddenly, but concievable it could rumble on for hundreds or thousands of years before errupting. However with the most intense solar radiation of the millenium reaching its peak this morning through the earth on this side of the planet around 7 A.M., concievably some sort of event might happen. If there parties from other solar systems involved, creating a disturbance of this magnitude, I would imagine, it would be hard to stop them any way.During an event of this size, it would be recommended to remain calmly in relatively secure locations until it was rather secure in the area. I did some sifting and sorting. I am working on making banana yeast, but it still has to dry. I noticed a family member has barrowed a rather new family album again to prove whom they may be. Well from what I can tell, not much going on at the moment. Computer system is running fine, and I suppose, I should relax for the duration of the early morning and see what happens. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/08/00 Monday 10:40 P.M. EDT: Since the last message, I have maintained a slightly different routine. I feel that the current solar flares are increasing volcanic activity in the structural tectonic layers of the planet. I felt seismic rumblings in the area at 7 A.M. on Thursday 5/4/00 and again on Saturday 5/6/00 at 1 P.M.. I anticipate that there might be a seismic advent at the New Haven butte which the oldest volcano in the world tonight between Monday 5/8/00 and Tuesday 5/9/00 around midnight. It is hard to tell, maybe it is the usual rumbling in the area that I have never noticed before since living here since 1971. I have noticed other people leaving the New York City areas in large numbers. I noticed that the California type tall parking lights at the Stables store in Old Greenwich have fallen and broken off their round concrete post placements. There is a rift zone running just north of the Boston Post Road. It is possibly that there will be seismic activity in the area, and most everyone seems to know. I am maintaining a normal quiet routine today. I am trying to remember what I did since the last message. I stayed inside and did normal routines. I made a bit of bread with the French bread machine on Wednesday. I went out a few time for supplies and basic food and other items including Perrier and cigarettes. This is a list of purchases since the last message.
On Tuesday, May 2 I had my driver's license picture retaken for the next four years in front of the board of education for $35.50 at the Connecticut driver's license bus. I walked around town a bit, and I obtained a money order to pay for it for .80 at the post office. I also bought a package of TOP rolling papers and cigarette tabacco for $1.40 at Zyns and at CVS cigar cigarettes for $1.69 at CVS on Greenwich Avenue that day. On Wednesday, I stopped the hospital after stopping by the bank, but I did not have an appointment. I paid my apartment GEICO Travelers apartment insurance through June 18, 2000 at the local post office for $30.17 the next billing period plus .80 for a money order at the local post office. I then bought at CVS Greenwich Avenue mouthwash 50.7 ounces for $3.69, CVS all purpose cleaner for $1.99, a two pack of GE 15 watt bulbs for $3.49, CVS disposable razors for $2.99, a buy one get one free of four packs of GE 40 watt bulbs, a jar of Rosemary .99, bay leaves .99, chili powder .99, garlic powder .99, nutmeg .99, a small Plumrose premium ham $1.79, 2 Mennen stick deoderants $1.99 each, 4 Armour vienne sausages .59 each, two cigar cigarettes $1.59 each, plus $1.49 each $35.39 total. I next bought some gasoline for $16 at Exxon. I then went by Val's liquor pantry at the Grand Union, and I bought $9 bottle 10 ounce of Angostora bitters. I next spent the next 3.5 hours at the Grand Union. I bought a box of Good Earth Chinese tea for $3.19, GU tea bag $2.19, Savarin ground coffee $1.99, Lysol concentrated liquid $3.99, McCormick whole peppercorns $5.29, a two pack of Dove soap $1.99, SOS soap pads $1.95, #1 Milita coffee filters $1.79, GU baking powder .99, GU creamy peanut butter $1.69, diswashing sponges two pack $1.49, a 6 ounce jar of Fleishman's yeast $6.99, GU brown rice 16 ounces $1.35, GU moserella 16 ounce $2.69, GU 4 ounce honey $1.19, Ronzonni 16 ounce fetticini $1.75, 3 bananas at .99 a pound .63, buy one get two free Armour hotdogs $2.79, McCormick curry powder $5.49, McCormick Chinese five spice $4.79, 3 Granada baby clams $4, 3 Chicken of the Sea chunk light tuna .79 each, 4 Grand Union pork and beans .49, 2 six ounce Lea and Perrins Worstershire sauce $1.45, 4 ears of corn $1, a bulb of garlic .48, 3 five pound bags of Idaho potatoes for $1.99 buy one get two free, a two pound bag of onions $1.99, buy one get one free of Verduci spinich $1.99, a six pack of GU microwave light popcorn $2.89, two Ronzoni extra thin speghetti noodles .80 each, two cans of Classic alfredo cheese sauce $2.49 each, two cans of Red Pack Italian tomatoes .99 each, GU malted pancake mix $1.89, two quarts of B&G pickles $1.35, two buy one get two free of Dole mini carrots $1.99, 3 Edy's no sugar ice cream half gallons buy one get two free $3.29 all, four GU frozen spinich $1.98 all, 2 GU 10 pack dry milks $5.89 each, Stauffer's hearty meat loaf dinner $2.50 and a Stauffer's Hearty chicken fetticini dinner $2.50, two "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter $1.29 a pound, Pillsbury five pound bag of unbleached flour $1.89, two half gallons of Tropicana Ruby Red orange juice $2.50 each, a dozen GU large eggs $1.49, 3 GU 1000 sheet toilet tissues .59 each $128.94 total. I then went by the Arnold Bread store at 7:30 P.M., and it was closed. I returned home, and I put away the food. I then made up 7 quarts of a Mulligan stew using two Revere pots with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in each pot, three peeled and diced potatoes in each, a bag of chopped carrotts in each, a a couple of chopped and peeled onions in each, a package of chopped Armour hot dogs in each, a can of GU pork and beans in each, a bag of washed and peeled fresh Spinich in each, a half of 32 oz. can of Italian plum tomatoes in each, three chopped gloves of peeled chopped garlic in each. I mixed it all around, and I added a pint of powdered milk in each, Lea and Perrins sauce dashes, McHilney's tabasco sauce, a teaspoon of Dijon Bournier mustard, Angostora soy sauce dashes, dashes pure sessime oil, angostora bitters, and olive oil, and a few pads of butter, two beef bouillion cubes each pot, dashes Thyme, cinnemon, basil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, nutmeg, celery salt, oregano, ginger, bay leaves, chili powder, hungarian pepperica, hot curry, Chinese five spice, 3/4 cups uncooked brown rice, and three bay leaves in each, and then I cooked the Mulligan stew for one and a half hours bringing it to a boiled and simmer it on low. I then put it in Rubbermaid plastic containers, and I froze it all. Until now I have been removing items that might fall in the apartment during my free time and sifting and sorting items. I won't bother with the details. On Thursday, I went out and I noticed a Perrier festival going on. I bought six low rise seat and back beach chairs at the Mews for $30, $5 each; and I observed a bit of the town, and I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then headed over by the waterfront, and it seemed a bit more secure. I next took a tour of Staples in Old Greenwich. It was pretty much the same as usual. I toured the back parking lot and I noticed that the two Californian street light were beginning to crack. I found a wallet that I immediately turned over to a store employee. I then went over to CVS in Old Greenwich and I purchased two cartons of 5 buy 3 get two free of Marlboro lights 100s for about $23.50 for ten packages total. I then headed over to Staples in Old Greenwich and toured. I stopped by the Food Emporium at the Riverside shopping plaza, and I bought a vinegarette salad of artichoke hearts and a few other items along with a bag of Lays potatoe chips for about $3, and I sat out and ate them about 6 P.M.. I toured the Radio shack store, and I toured CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza. I then gave a neighbor a ride back home. On early Friday morning, I continued sifting and sorting. A friend visited and sat up all night, and in sifting and sorting some luggage, I found a item, I suggested we throw in the dumpster. About 10:30 A.M., Saturday morning, I dropped the friend off at a local transit point, after touring the waterfront and the Staples in Old Greenwich. I then returned to back home along the Post Road in Greenwich. I continued sifting and sorting the apartment all day Saturday. I have been eating lightly with soft boiled eggs, and juice, ice tea, coffee, and lighter meals. I feel with a solar flare one does not need caffine. I also tried Perrier on Friday and Saturday mornings, and it seemed to neutralize some of the radiation effects of solar flares. On Saturday, I also observed local nature of the building area. I noticed the building did not have any masonry cracks. I checked with my insurance company, and I now have earthquake insurance. I do not have flood, but possibly an earthquake could cause flooding in the area. On Sunday morning, I went over to CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza, and I purchased one five packs of Marlboro lights 100s buy three get two free for about $11.29. I then returned to Greenwich Avenue, and I purchased a Bugle, a Tops, Sir Walter Religh tabacco packs for $5 about. I returned and drove by the Port Chester beer distributor, and it was closed. I then went to the Food Emporium, and waited for it to open at 7 A.M. I purchased 6 three packs of Perrier 24 ounce bottles for $17.94 and a bag of Wise potatoe chips for $1.99 for $19.93 total. I then went to Staples in Old Greenwich and examined the California light poles in back again, and they had fallen completely over. I briefed a few local visitors and store employees about seismic activity. I returned to town, and I bought 24 three packs of Perrier 24 oz. for $38.87 plus a bag of potatoe chips for $1.99 for $40.86 total. I returned home, and I stacked them around the apartment too. I then bought 15 Perrier three packs for $44.85 and a $1.99 bag of Wise potatoe chips for $46.84 and returned home, and I stacked them. I then went back and purchased 30 Perrier three packs for $89.70 and I returned home, and I stacked them. After stacking and arranging the Perrier bottles about 6 P.M., I toured the building. I relaxe through the night and in the middle of the evening, we had a major thunder storm. I went to bed about 1 A.M., and I was up at about 2 P.M. I had a light breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, potatoe chips, bread, ice tea, and a third of a bottle of Perrier with Angostora bitters. I chatted with my neighbors. I entered some accounts. I filed this report. I made a few phone calls during the day. I suggest if there is any seismic activity to leave one's door's unlocked and opened, so they will not jam. If there is major seismic activity, one might not want full tanks of gasoline, and it would be unlikely one would be able to travel far. One could relax in an open field. Well I have some other errands to do, and I have enough tabacco. If something happens, I can assure you, you will not need a cigarette. Well have a quiet evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/02/00 Tuesday 10:45 A.M. EDT: I was up at about 7 A.M. this morning. I made up a batch of Fannie Farmer biscuits with the CuisineArt. I mixed the dry ingredients first, then I mixed them with the oil I added, and then I mixed that mixture with the powdered milk I had made into milk. I actually got fluffy biscuits. I then checked with the AT&T operator first in Pittsburg, Pa. and they did not seem to understand me. I then finally talked with an AT&T operator in Kansas City, Missouri; and they were able to give me a $17 credit towards next months bill. They are suppose to be billing me 5 cents all the time for in state intra state calls, but instead they were billing me 9 cents a minute, and had not set up my AT&T dialing program correctly. Thus I will now pay $5 a month for 5 cents a minute AT&T dialing intrastate or within the state of Connecticut all the time 24 hours a day seven days a week. Of course, I really don't make that many calls when I lead my normal routine, but so many people try to bother me with nonsense that I frequently have to make extra phone calls to explain my viewpoint. Needless to say I had the biscuits with three soft boiled eggs, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. Well I have to clean up, and go out and do some errands. From what I can tell, life is getting more complicated as the season gets warmer. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/02/00 Tuesday 1:00 A.M. EDT: Well I stopped by the library after the last message. I checked out a couple of books on Volcanoes. At the moment with the renovation work, they don't have a copy of Audubon's Birds of North America, so I don't have a copy for reference. I studied the exterior of the new library and as usual gave some free advice. I noticed it was pretty much the same old routine. I went down at closing, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a few locals. I walked the upper part of Greenwich Avenue. I then returned to the center of town. Not much seems to be going on. There was a slight drizzle when I returned home. I noticed a small fleet of private jets leaving the area. I suppose the weather is not desirable. Well who really knows what goes on. I watched a bit of television, and as usual there was not much to watch. I finished off the rest of the pizza with some ice tea. Well I guess I will go to be now, since I was up during the day. Have a good morning. I suppose there could be some hungry poachers in the area looking for game birds to eat, but it seems that Fish and Wildlife would take a dim view of their sport. Since the reality is that certain government agencies have kept satellites focused on this area for a extensive time, I would imagine certain government agencies would know the real story, but whether they would tell the general civilian population seems to be uncertain. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>05/01/00 Monday 7:10 P.M. EDT: I just watched the ABC evening news. Apparently AOL Time Warner CNN want to get Disney ABC off the air, since Disney ABC programming interfers with AOL Time Warner CNN programming. From what I can tell, it reminds me of something Walter Cronkite once said. "One and a half columns of the New York Times is only a 30 minute television broadcast. From what I can tell having read many books in the tens of thousand, there seems to be a tempest in a teapot brewing. I heard Warren Buffett say today on the ABC news about high technology stocks, "They're like a 'chain letter'; those whom get in early make the money; and those whom get in later don't." Well today I found piece of a Charles Schwab order form in the south Board of Education parking lot, and I returned it to their office on Greenwich Avenue. They have a rather unique entrance with elevator in glass foyer. It is confusing when you take the elevator back down, you're initial instinct is to walk to your left when facing the mirror, but you have to walk to the right, since the mirror confuses one's perspective. I had two slices of the pizza about 6 P.M. along with iced coffee. Since I have paid my bills, I could relax, but I thought I would go out and look for some new books at the library. I also retrieved the food from the community room kitchen this morning, since I am not sure the other tenants really need food. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>05/01/00 Monday 6:15 P.M. EDT: I was up at 8 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of four medium soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I weighed myself, and I am down to 173 pounds from 218 pounds, so I have a net loss of 45 pounds. Well, I noticed I feel a little bit better. Let's hope I can keep it off. I cleaned up, and I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and I did some banking. I stopped by the central Greenwich Post Office, and I obtained money orders to pay my last month's an this month's Bell Atlantic telephone bill which includes this month's AT&T phone bill. I also paid my last MCI telephone bill. I paid my GEICO automobile insurance bill, my Northeast Utilities electricity bill, and I also paid last month cablevision and my computer internet cable modem connection bills from last month. Thus I paid all the bills I have recieved, except my internic bill for www.mikescott.net which would be $35 if I wanted to keep it. I then walked around town a bit. I when to Zyn's stationary and I bought a buy one get one free of Parliaments for $3.90 both. I also paid .25 to park downtown. I then stopped by the First Union bank on LaFayette Place, and I paid my rent. I next stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop, and I toured the store. I then drove down by Grass Island and Steamboat Road, and I did not notice anything unusual just the usual business crowd. I then went by the Greenwich Town Hall, and I put in a report at Parks and Recreation about the waterfront sniper or snipers. I then took and exercise walk at the Food Emporium. I walked around the store for an hour, and I purchases a five pound bag of sugar for $2.09. I did notice they have Stauffer's lean cuisine on sale for up to 40% off. I studied some of the other product lines. I returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor about Florida history. Well not much going on, have a good evening. CIO
