Note: <888> 05/31/11 Tuesday 1:55 A.M.  The bushes in front of the Senior and the Arts center have some sort of bugs in them at night that make a clicking sound.  When they use to have bushes around the Veterans monument across the street from the Senior and the Arts center, before they took them out a few years ago, there use to be black Korean wasps in them 24 hours a day which some people found undesirable.

I put the large British Union Jack in front of the right hallway bookcase, and I put the Dutch Tricolor in front of the left hallway bookcase which is the recent normal setup.  I no longer have the large 50 star U.S.A. flag to display in the hallway, since I took that up to Kennebunkport, Maine last summer to fly on the flag pole in front of the family house up there.  I will be going up there on June 14, 2011 for two weeks to spend time with family, and I will pick up a relative at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport on the way up.

I was downtown on Thursday evening, and I noticed besides the existing wreath at the rear of the Veterans Monument across the street from the senior and the arts center, there was a new wreath out there at the front of the Veterans monument.  I also went out at midnight on Friday morning, and it was still there.  I was there again on Friday evening, and it was still there.  I did not go out on Saturday evening.  Last night on Sunday evening, when I was out, I noticed the new wreath had disappeared from the front of the monument, but the old wreath was at the rear of the monument.  Thus it would seem between Friday evening and Sunday evening, somebody took the new wreath from the front of the Veterans monument across the street from the Senior and the Arts center.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday 11:30 P.M.  I have all of the paper work copied and ready to present tomorrow at my 11 A.M. meeting, when I need to submit all of the paper work for my Renter's Rebate.  We use to only need one month's copies of the different receipts, but now they want all of the months' receipts for the previous year which is a lot of paper work.  I am lucky the Brother MFC 8840D Brother International - Multifunction Centers - MFC-8840D all purpose machine easily handled the heavy copy load.  Staples is currently out of stock of the newer refurbished models.

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday 9:55 P.M.  I sorted out all of the paper work on the right side of my bedroom desk.  I threw out the old bills before 2010 and documents and other paper work.  I have the 2010 Greenwich Housing Authority rent statements, CL-P electric statements, and the Chase Bank statements that I have to copy for my Renter's Rebate application tomorrow at 11 P.M..  One can also get a CL-P electric statement off the internet.  I only have the December 2008 SSI income statement for 2009, since there has been no SSI COA since then.  I now have to make copies of all of them to submit tomorrow at my 11 A.M. appointment.

Note: <888> 05/28/11 Saturday 9:35 P.M.  A sick friend called me up at about 3 P.M.. I woke up at 5:30 P.M..   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I decided to leave Google Chrome OS beta on the second partition of the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop and the second partition of the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop, since it is faster than openSUSE.  However to uninstall Google Chrome OS from the Epox computer and the Dell Latitude 4600i computer, if it is on a second hard drive like the Epox one has to use disk manager to delete the openSUSE partitions.  However, then to restore Windows, one has to use the Seagate Utilities to do a quick low level format of the first hard drive.  Then one has to do a Paragon backup restore of Windows to the first hard drive, or try whatever other backup and restore utility one has.  Thus without a backup, one would have to do a new Windows installation.  I do not think I will put openSUSE on the Epox and the Dell Latitude 4600i computers, since it is not needed, since I have Windows XP Professional on both of them.  I also did a low level format of my 4 gigabyte USB pen drive, and I restored it to the primary work computer to use for ReadyBoost.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate a few day old muffin.  CIO

Then you would cook them like normal pancakes with a little bit of some sort of fat or oil to grease the cooking surface.  I usually cook pancakes at medium high electric burner heat, but medium would do.  Of course, you would have to afford the Vermont Maple syrup, but a good alternative is honey.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/14/11 Saturday 11:55 A.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went by CVS, and I bought a 14 ounce Comet cleaner for $1.49 and a 32 ounce CVS window cleaner for $2.39 and .23 tax for $4.11 total.  I then sat out for a while downtown, and I chatted with a local.  I then went back by CVS, and I bought eight 10.7 ounce Campbell's condensed chicken noodle soup for .66 each for $5.28 total.  I then bought a 13 ounce CVS Petroleum Jelly for $4.79 and a six pack of 4.2 ounce Dove gentle exfoliating beauty bar for renewed skin with moisturizing cream for $5.88 and .64 tax for $11.31 total.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought two 14 ounce Ajax with bleach powder cleaner for .99 each and .12 tax for $2.10 total.  I then bought a four pack of day old apple turnovers for $2, a 16 ounce Smart Balance lite for $3.29, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.50, bananas for .79 a pound for $2.18, broccoli crowns for $1.69 a pound for $1.39, and a filet of previously frozen Alaska cod for $4.99 a pound for $2.59 for $13.95 total.  I chatted with a few locals, since it was not busy.  I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $11.04 of V-Power Self Service Premium gasoline for $4.799 a gallon for 2.301 gallons for 23.6 miles driving since Sunday May 8, 2011 at odometer reading of 68555 miles for 10.2564 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I had to go inside to get a receipt, since the Yes button was not working on the southwest pump.  I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/14/11 Saturday 3:20 A.M.  I ate a 1/6th piece of birthday cake before going to bed.  I woke up, and I ate some triscuits.  I finally woke up at 1:30 A.M..  I did two loads of laundry, and I have 40 minutes to go on two dry cycles.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I am also washing in a few cups of Clorox bleach in a seperate load the shower curtain and liner.  I threw out the garbage.  The far right washer machine in the laundry is broken.  I will now water the plants.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/13/11 Friday 4:00 P.M.  I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I picked up the mail.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go back to bed.  Afternoon showers tomorrow and 65 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/13/11 Friday 3:25 P.M.  I got the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer to work wireless with Chrome OS.  On the list of programs and drivers that one can add, I search the term "wireless", and it came up with about 25 files, and I added those to the configuration, and it now works wireless with Chrome OS.  There was one file with Intel in its name, and the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 does have Intel wireless, so possibly that file enabled me to make a wireless connection with Chrome OS.  Another nice netbook.  Chrome OS is very fast for web browsing.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/13/11 Friday 2:45 P.M.  On the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29, the Belkin wireless network card and the built in wireless devices do not work with Chrome OS, so one would not be able to use it with wireless.  On the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer, the Belkin wireless network card does not work, but the built in Dell wireless devices do work with Chrome OS, so one would be able to use it with wireless.  Thus it would be a nice little netbook with Chrome OS.  However, the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop runs a little hot, so one probably would not want to use it on one's lap while sitting down in a chair or on a bench, but I suppose it would work on a hard surface such as a Starbucks table or Greenwich Library table, if one wanted to show off Chrome OS.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/13/11 Friday 1:25 P.M.  The second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer is setup with Chrome OS on the second partition.  However, I had to reinstall Chrome OS on the second partition on the Panasonic Toughbook CF29 laptop computer, since one of the updates crippled it.  Chrome OS is a nice fast simple operating system, and for a lot of users, it is all that one might need.

Note: <888> 05/13/11 Friday 10:35 A.M.  I woke up at 6 A.M..  I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance Spread.  I installed Chrome OS on the second partition on the Panasonic Toughbook CF29 laptop computer.  I went downtown to CVS, and I picked up two prescriptions.  I bought four 10.5 ounce cans of Campbell's condensed mushroom soup for $1.37 each for $5.48 total.  I also bought two 96 ounce jugs of Clorox bleach for $1.99 each and .24 tax for $4.22 total.  I sat out briefly further downtown.  I then returned home.  I had to reinstall Chrome OS on the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer, since I accidentally deleted it by trying to free up hard drive space.  I am now installing the updates on it.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/12/11 Thursday 11:35 P.M.  On the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer, when I was installing the additional programs and updates, I ran out of space in the Root Directory, but there is still 9 gigabytes of space in the home directory.  I would say that that one should make the Root Directory larger when installing the Chrome OS.  However, it is fine for now.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Note: <888> 05/12/11 Thursday 10:30 A.M.  I woke up at 4 A.M. this morning.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.  In the Dutch Church cleanliness is next to godliness, so I put the Dutch tricolor flag over the left hallway bookcase.  I then did Spring House Cleaning.  I cleaned the bathroom sink, toilet, bathtub, and the bath walls.  I used Lysol spray cleaner and Clorox toilet cleaner and Comet cleaner and CVS Lysol type spray.  I cleaned the kitchen stove fan filter, and I oiled the kitchen stove fan.  I cleaned the entire kitchen with Lysol spray cleaner.  I then used the Black and Decker dust buster to pick up lose dirt around the apartment.  I then used a swifter duster, and I dusted the entire apartment.  I then cleaned all of the glass on the pictures, televisions, and mirrors with CVS glass cleaner.  I then vacuumed the entire apartment thoroughly.  I chatted with a friend.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as the last few days.  I will then shower and clean up, and I will soak my feet in vinegar and hot water for 15 minutes before putting the foot fungus cream on the fungus on my feet.  When I soak my feet in white vinegar and hot water, I use about a cup of white vinegar and two gallons of hot water in a plastic dishwashing tub that I had bought at Wal-Mart.  CIO  

Note: <888> 05/11/11 Wednesday 3:15 P.M.  I watched the movie Miss Marple on the TMC.  The brass shell lamp on the police inspector's desk in the movie is exactly like the brass shell lamp that I have in my apartment on my telephone table.  I bought the brass shell lamp at the Merry Go Round mews thrift shop for $5 over about 15 years ago.  What is strange is that the lamp in England would use a different electricity current than here in America, so they must have produced it in both countries on both sides of the pond.  It seems strange that there are so few English left in America.  I guess since they have recovered from World War II, they all have returned to England abandoning America.  I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed for the night.  Sunny tomorrow and 71 to 51 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/11/11 Wednesday 1:15 P.M.  I woke up from my nap, and I watched a little bit of television.  The movie "The King's Speech" is on Pay Per View for $5, so I might watch it sometime in the near future.  I have never been able to afford to go to movies or rent DVDs, and most of the DVDs in the Greenwich Library seem to be scratched.  Thus I am not a big time movie fan other than what I pay for the reruns on the Cable television system.  There is usually something to watch, but since I have the internet, I tend to look for interesting information to read.  The general news gets boring after a while, since they only publish what the general public demand.   Thus the more of any subject that the general public watches, they put more of the same on.  There is not much news about the United States of America anymore, since it costs money to produce the news, when I guess there is not really that much happening except normal routine anymore.  We could be like Russia and broadcast the worker's news about manufacturing and production or the farm reports.  However, we are an affluent country, so the media tries to promote the arts over network sports.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/11/11 Wednesday 9:25 A.M.  I ate a 1/6th piece of birthday cake.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will take a nap.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/11/11 Wednesday 9:05 A.M.  I ate the same dinner as yesterday along with a cup of green tea and splenda and lemon juice.  It will be expensive to make Rothschild stew in the future, since three 10 ounce cans of Campbell's condensed mushroom soup cost $5.  The condensed mushroom soup I have been using was on sale for 50 cents a can at CVS a few weeks ago.

Note: <888> 05/11/11 Wednesday 4:45 A.M.    I woke up while sleeping yesterday, and I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread.  I rotated the warm weather shirts to the left center of my bedroom closet, and I put the cold weather shirts on the far left of the bedroom closet.  In the right living room closet, I put the warm weather jackets on the right side, and I put the cold weather coats on the left side.  I threw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  When I look out the back windows to the west, the 24 Sunoco gasoline station on West Putnam Avenue on the Port Chester, New York border is not lighted up, and it looks like there are not many lights on in that area of Port Chester, New York, so either they are burning less electricity, or they have a power failure over there.  There are usually more lights on in that direction at night.  CIO

Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 7:05 A. M.  :

I am online at the Senior and the Arts Center on Greenwich Avenue using Optimum WiFi. Two hours laptop power remaining. CIO

I used the bathroom at Starbucks, and the men’s room was busy for 10 minutes, so I used the lady’s room which was available.    Lot of garbage trucks are around.  They are hanging the hanging plants on Greenwich Avenue.  I can just close the cover of the Panasonic Toughbook CF29 in case I have to move around with it.  It is a bit cool this morning.  The usual morning walkers are out, but I don’t see any dog walkers out. Now I am suppose to have 3 hours and 45 minutes battery time left.  There were a few early morning joggers out.  One has to sit in front of the senior and the arts center, because the sun would be too intense across the street.   It is pretty noisy downtown in the morning for the residents that live in this area.  The flags are at half staff.   Possibly another soldier from Connecticut died.  The Benheim gallery has a reception at the senior and the arts center this Thursday from 6 to 8 P.M.. I should try out the Wifi on Steamboat Road and possibly at the train station, but it would be hard to park there. I should also check it out at the top of Greenwich Avenue.  It is nice looking at the iron sculptures in front of the senior and the arts center.  I noticed a lot of the business men have bald heads, so I guess they are saving on hair cuts.   I am not suppose to report on any security activity that may be in the area.  The pink and cranberry tulips are still out across the street.  There is lots of aviation traffic as usual. The building just north of the senior and the arts center where Best and Company used to be is still for rent. I left downtown at 8 A.M. I tried to get a wireless signal in Bruce Park without success. I can not get Optimum Wifi at the pier on Steamboat Road, but the Indian Harbor Yacht Club signal comes in, but it does not connect either. There is once again a Port-A-Potty on the end of Steamboat Road.   Optimum WiFi connects up quickly at the top of Greenwich Avenue at the Pickwick Plaza.   Optimum WiFi works outside on the bench in front of the wangle at the Greenwich Library.  I am here at opening at 9 A. M.. I used the bathroom at the Greenwich Library.  I am now on the Greenwich Library Wifi. I am sitting here enjoying the beautiful view of the vacant lot where the old Exxon gasoline station used to be.  There seems to be quite a bit of traffic as usual.  I have two hours and 10 minutes of battery time remaining. I need to see if they have any 10 packs of quarts of Stop and Shop powdered milk for $7.99 on my way home.  I am not use to blogging out in public where there are so many distractions.   A lot of people have better laptop computers, but they do not know how to type, so they can provide content. The Panasonic CF29 laptop seems to functioning better than expected on the road, so to speak.  The comfortable design chairs in the periodic reading room are of Norwegian design.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/09/11 Monday 9:20 A.M.  I threw out the garbage after the last note.  I went way out east to Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while enjoying the tulips downtown.  There were quite a large number of office workers going to work, so I guess the economy is improving.  It pretty much was the usual group of commuters I have seen many times before.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks, and Starbucks was quite busy.  I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought four 18.8 ounce cans of Campbell's Harvest Select clam chowder for $1.50 each and a day old half price 5 inch high by 8 inch diameter chocolate Sundae birthday cake for $4.99 for $10.99 total.  I then returned back to southwestern Greenwich known as Byram, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I noticed yesterday while at Zen Stationary on Greenwich Avenue, the Life Magazine Royal Wedding Commemorative Issue is on sale there for $13.99.  I have noticed recently that we now have double length public buses in Greenwich with an accordion type divider between the two sections.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/07/11 Saturday 4:05 A.M.  I sat outside briefly after the last note.  I then went downtown, and I went by the Chase Bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue.  The Barcelona cafe Barcelona Greenwich | Barcelona Wine Bar across the street was moderately busy with modern music being played.  I then sat out at the Veterans Monument across the street from the Senior and the Arts Center enjoying the tulips.  I saw the smart USA - open your mind to the car that challenges the status quo car advertising Welcome to Greenwich Handyman Inc .  I then sat out at the Central Greenwich Post Office Plaza enjoying the tulips.  The Greenwich Central Post Office is still for sale.  It would make a nice outdoor cafe in the summer, but I am not sure that would pay the bills.  There was chalk artwork on the sidewalk of the Greenwich Post Office Plaza from MagicDance Toddler Studio of Arts and Letters .  I then sat out in front of the Greenwich Senior and Arts Center enjoying the animal sculptures Animals on the loose on the Avenue - GreenwichTime which are part of Greenwich Arts Council - Art to the Avenue .  I noticed a few people strolling around.  I saw a Port Chester taxi cab picking up someone.  I think they run all night unlike the Greenwich taxi cabs.  I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and there were three fishermen out there trying their luck.  The blue fish might be running now or soon.  I noticed two cars at 600 Steamboat Road that might be fishermen.  The sign advertising 600 Steamboat Road for lease is not there, so possibly it was leased.  I saw a roadside sign for iDriveYourCar.com - Your Car + Our Driver = Half the Cost .  I saw a lot of cars driving down Greenwich Avenue after midnight, and there was a lot of traffic on I-95.  I then drove around town.  I noticed the Colonial Diner is still opened 24 hours with a few cars parked in front of it.  With my fungus feet problem, I was unable to walk Greenwich Avenue to enjoy the artwork in the shop windows.  Back when I was a teenager living at Baldwin Farms off Round Hill Road, I occasionally when a car was not available would walk from there down Round Hill Road and across Clapboard Ridge Road across Lake Avenue to North Street and then walk down North Street to the GreenwichCC - Golf & Country Club , and then I would walk around the entire golf course playing 18 holes of golf, and then I would walk back home to Baldwin Farms the same way, so that was my equivalent of the Back Country Marathon.  Since gasoline was always more expensive at the Round Hill store, I figured out that once people in back country got use to paying the higher prices for gasoline at the Round Hill store, it would transfer to higher prices downtown and around the country, so possibly the real Arabs are at the Round Hill store on Round Hill Road.  I think back then gasoline in the 1960s was about 29 cents a gallon for premium gasoline that the gas station attendant pumped.  I used to fill up my mother's Chevrolet Monte Carlo at the Mobil gasoline station across the street from the train station in the 1970s for $5 for premium gasoline for a full tank that was full serve.  When I returned home back to Byram, I sat out for a while.

I had a problem with the primary work computer suddenly stopping.  I was able to isolate the problem.  It was the second IDE0 hard drive round IDE cable that connects the second and third hard drives.  Since those two hard drive in the tower case are closer to the motherboard IDE0 connector, I removed the faulty round IDE cable, and I put in a flat ribbon cable which I think might be more reliable.  All of that took a while, but the primary work computer seems to be running just fine.  CIO

Back in the 1950s, when I lived in Decatur, Alabama, we were living near one of the first www.nasa.gov research facilities in Huntsville, Alabama.  We knew the Chinese had invented rockets, but we did not have very good communications with the Chinese, so we would buy packages of 20 Chinese fire crackers for about 20 cents, and one could unravel a fire crackers and try to read the Chinese newspapers that the gun powder was packed in.  With the internet, it shows how far we have progressed with communications with the Chinese.  They make a lot of the computer parts, but it still only mostly one way communications from the Chinese, since they do not pay much attention to what we know or think.  I know George Cary who is an equestrian from a prominent family in America, when he gets overwhelmed by technology just says, "Let the Chinese take Care of it."  Maybe somebody at a Chinese horse rack track is using this technology to make money.

If any Canadian citizens need emergency assistance, they have a toll free telephone number up in Canada to call at 1-613-996-8885.  They will accept collect calls.  I am not sure what sort of assistance they can offer, but the telephone number is available.
