Note:<888>5/21/99 Friday 10:55 P.M. EDT: Well I went to bed at 2 P.M. this afternoon. I got up at 9 P.M.. I had breakfast of four fried egges, five strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, grapefruit and ruby red orange juice, vitamins, and cafe au lait. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which did not do much today. Well I am not sure what I will do this evening and morning, but some time I have to do laundry. I think I will catch up on a little computer work like email, instead of going out right away. It is nice and cool in the apartment and outside temperature is 60 degrees F.. Well have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>5/21/99 Friday 12:05 A.M. EDT: Well I went back out at 7 A.M.. I drove down to the waterfront at Steamboat Road and chatted with some of the morning fishermen for a while. There were the remains of striped bass in the water that people had caught and fileted. It was a beautiful morning. I returned to the center of town and walked around downtown until 9 A.M.. I stopped by St. Moritz bakery for an Almond Danish. I bought a sheet of 20 tropical stamps with tropical flowers on them from the post office for $6.60. I chatted with a girl with a champaign poodle about dogs. I mentioned that I use to know somebody in Florida that looks like the person in the New York Times magazines that trains Orcas at Sea World in Miami, and he has been photographed being pushed out of the water by the orca by its nose out of the water. Of course it might just be a look alike. I theorized that some times he might take his pet orca swimming out of Sea World to other ports of call and possibly to terrorize people on unfriendly beaches. So much for fish stories. However, I said I might best him with the Loch Ness monster if he tries that trick on me. I next headed up to the hospital thrift shop. They still have all that metal office furniture. I then headed back down to Steamboat Road and chatted with the locals and the fishermen for a while. I chatted with a visitor from Japan and gave him my internet site address, and told him about the Japanese American school here in town. He did not know much about the internet, but he had a camera. I also gave some Volvo tips to another Volvo driver. About the time I left at 10:30 A.M., a New York news crew showed up down there to conduct an interview on marine shipping with a local fellow. Quite a few of the morning retired people were talking about having prostate problems, which I guess is common amongst the retired population. I then returned back up town and stopped by the hospital thrift shop again. I noticed the Texaco station at Sherwood place has a promotion on for Citra soda pop, and it looks like they're giving it away. I have some here and it tastes a little like Squirt and Mountain Dew. I mentioned to one of the Spanish people down on Steamboat talking about bull fighting that when I first moved here in 1961, I had a bull whip and I was quit expert at using then. After touring the hospital thrift shop again, and mentioning to an idiginous Florida seminole Indian about the hurricane season forecast, I headed down Greenwich Avenue, and toured the Mews thrift shop. They have about six pairs of about size 12 patten leather white dress shoes, like the old guard wear in Florida in brand new condition. I briefed them on the hurricane forecast. I returned home about 11 A.M., and chatted with my neighbors outside the building for a while. I mentioned it would be convenient to have a cell phone when I am out roaming around for communications, but I can't afford one; so in an emergency I have a my trusty marine ship to shore radio with about a mile range, which I need to check out some time. I relaxed a short spell and then filed this report. Well have a good day. By the way one of our verteran parks and rec people who lived at the YMCA for about 50 years has not been seen by me for about two months. CIO

Note:<888>5/21/99 Friday 5:30 A.M. EDT: I went back out after the last message. I sat in front of the Post Office and drank my coffee out of the thermos. It was a quiet morning. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. When I walk the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, I usually walk down in front of the train station by the entrance at the cross walk and then return back up to the top of the Avenue. I usually rest for a spell at the top of the Avenue. I noticed that Restoration Hardware - unique cabinet hardware and home-furnishings is putting in a new store on the ground floor of the old D.W. Rogers building that is being restored with expensive apartments on the upper level. I also noticed that Omnipoint Community Cell Phone store at the top of the avenue is advertising for full and part time help. I also noticed that Harrington's of Vermont -- Cob Smoked Ham & Turkey; Cheese, Maple Syrup & Gourmet Foods across from the train station has 25% off party hams. Other stores on the Avenue are welcome to gap online and Saks Fifth Avenue, along with the Vermont Country Store ? where the old Greenwich Hardware store use to be along with Outdoor Traders and GREENWICH HARDWARE CO. and you usual selection of specialty shops. I saw a store next to the Greenwich Common that sells knit goods and cloting I believe that has an internet site, but I could not find their internet address in the window this morning. I suppose more and more businesses sooner or later will have internet sites. I heard an alarm go off on Armagone Causeway, but I did not investigate, but it went quiet shortly there after anyway about 4 A.M.. I sat outside down in the center of town for a while. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat and viewed the harbor. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a 32 oz. bag of frozen peas for $1.50, a 32 oz. bag of frozen vegatables for $1.50, two Tobins bacons for $3.29 both, a package of GU american cheese slices for $1.99 for a pound, two Kelloggs Raisin bran 20 oz. packages for $2.50 each and a 38 oz. box of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers for $5.29 for $18.57 total. I returned home and put away the groceries and had a glass of ice tea. Well it was a very nice morning out for walking about 50 degrees Farenheit. I noticed a car from Florida with tinted windows which is the custom in Florida, so automobiles don't get too hot inside and have their dash boards and upholstery crack in the intense heat of the sun. CIO
Note:<888>5/21/99 Friday 2:30 A.M. EDT: I went back to bed after the last message. At 9:30 A.M. I received a call from a family member. About 10 A.M. I heard a loud noise outside my window. I slept until 6:30 P.M.. I did not have any appointments today. I had another breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, grapefruit and orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I got a tired spell and went back to bed until 10 P.M.. I got up and showered and cleaned up. I went out about 11 P.M.. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I then drove over to CVS in the Riverside shopping plaza. I returned the bottle of CVS yellow mouthwash for $3.70, and I bought a litre bottle of yellow Listerine for $3.99, a Djeep lighter $1.59, and Your Life vitamins were 50% off, so I bought Vitamin C $1.99, Garlic pills $4.34, Multi Mineral $2.99, Zinc $3.49 for $15.02 total. I then returned to the center of town and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. Star Wars Episode I was getting out about midnight and I saw about two dozen people come out of the theatre. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I saw the Dome letting out with two very loud motor cycles making noice and a few young yuppies. I sat out for a while. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I returned home about 1:30 A.M.. I just finished having boneless breast of chicken in wine with herbs and spices, baked potatoe, baked vidallia onion halves, steamed corn on the cob, and steamed baby carrotts along with diet 7UP and ice tea mixed together, and I am now brewing a cup of coffee. I guess I will go out sip my coffee downtown out of my trusty thermos. I also have do a little internet work this morning. I have not checked my email in several days. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>5/20/99 Thursday 8:10 A.M. EDT: I scanned my computer with Norton Anti Virus again, and I found the Chernobyl virus on my computer again. I removed it with Norton Anti Virus, all I can figure is it came in an email. It was attached to an older version of SYS Multimedia 1.3, which I never use. I guess the drive is clean now. I will have to check it before the 26th again. I had breakfast of 4 fried eggs, four strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, vitamins, grapefruit and orange juice, and a cup of coffee. After the coffee, I might rest a while. CIO
Note:<888>5/20/99 Thursday 5:40 A.M. EDT: I started a a Norton Speed Disk and went to bed from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M.. The program did not work. I started fiddling with the system, and I lost my video driver also. After repeated attempts to reinstall it, I finally figured I have was having problems with the new bios. I reinstalled the September 2, 1998 bios 5710902s.rom , and the system was back to normal. I kept the defaults and just set the video multiplier to 8. I ran the Norton Speed Disk again, and it all ran fine. I am back up and running. Time for a little bit more rest. Have a good morning. CIO

I called down to the Casa Marina in Key West and also checked with the local police department down there, and they advised me that they were aware of the 1999 Hurricane forecast weather. htm .

Note:<888>5/19/99 Wednesday 2:30 P.M. EDT: I left at 10:30 A.M. and stopped by the West Putnam Avenue Post Office and mail in the rebate information for the IBM World Book 1999 $30 rebate and the Jensen Speakers $20 rebate. I arrived a half hour early for my 11:30 A.M. dentist checkup and cleaning. I read the December copy of the Greenwich Review which I hardly ever see. I was told that I should have my teeth cleaned every six months since I smoke, and I was told I need to floss. Mu next dental appointment is December 1, 1999. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop afterwards and they have a lot of steel desks and filing cabinets that somebody donated I guess from an office. I stopped by CVS and bought four packs of Dutch Treat Lights for $1.59 each and a large 1 litre bottle of Listerine for $3.99 plus .62 Ct. sales tax for $10.97 total. I was told by the dentist that the CVS brand like Listerine is not as good at germ killing and I need to use the Listerine brand which is more expensive. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the rainy harbor. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I went to the Grand Union and bought two half gallons of Tropicana Ruby Red Orange Juice for $1.99 each, a half gallon of GU 2% milk for $1.72, Tony's Supreme pizza for $3.99, a Stauffers 20 oz. frozen lasagna for $2.99, a package of Purdue boneless breast of chicken at $2.99 a pound because it expires 5/24 for $3.62, 3 packages of Dole small carrotts for $1.99 all, three ears of corn .20 each, 3 dozen grand union eggs with store coupon for $1.49 all, two Tobin bacons for $3.29 both for $23.69 total plus a $1 back on cans.

I stopped by the Kinko copy center across from the Greenwich Library and made four copies of my CompUSA rebate receipts for .34 all together. I drove down by the harbor.

System is running fine. I will shower and go out shortly after I have a bite to eat. CIO
Note:<888>5/18/99 Tuesday 5:10 P.M. EDT: I worked on the computer last evening until 10 P.M.. I went to bed and got back on the computer at 2 A.M.. I did routine computer work. I downloaded seven more Elvis music mp3 files and added them to http://mrscott.com/music3 and http://mrscott.com/music8 . I am downloading them from ftp://hool.dynip.com which has a lot of music, but it is a very busy and slow sight; so each music file takes about ten to fifteen minutes to download. Also you need to get the password from their html page at: http://hool.dynip.com/mp3server . I am using the CUTE FTP beta to download them. I went to bed at 8 A.M. this morning, and I was up at 4 P.M.. I put the seven files in their directories renaming them to my conventions. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange and grapefruit juice, coffee, and vitamins. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Last night I emailed the Paul Allen foundation http://www.paulallen.com about getting some funding for my internet activities. Well it is back to normal routine. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow at 11:30 A.M.. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>5/17/99 Monay 6:35 P.M. EDT: I made my 4 P.M. appointment. At 4:45 P.M., I saw a lookalike of a prominent person next to the post office. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and turned around. I returned home, and I broiled a steak, broiled to halves of Vadallia onions, steamed a ear of corn, microwaved a potatoe and ate it all with ice tea. I had a cup of coffee after dinner. I recieved a phone call from a relative about installing Real G2 Pro. They're suppose to call back again. I am watching the ABC evening news. I have updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which was down a bit today. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>5/17/99 Monay 3:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 10 A.M. today. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange and grapefruit juice, cafe au lait, and vitamins. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York at noon. I drove up to CompUSA in Norwalk and bought the IBM World Book 1999 Standard Edition for $29.99 plus $1.80 tax for $31.79 total and it was $10 off the regular price and it comes with a $30 mailin rebate from IBM. I also bought a pair of Jensen JMP 31 speakers for the computer for $39.99 plus $2.40 tax for $42.39 total which also have a $20 mail in rebate. I also bought 10 pack of CD jewel cases for $2.97 and a generic mouse for $1.99 plus .30 tax for $5.26 total. Thus I will be getting back $50 in rebates in about a month. I returned home and installed the Speakers and they sound great. I installed the IBM World Book 1999 Standard edition and it has a dictionary also. I will do the internet updates on it when the internet is faster. Well I have a 4 P.M. appointment, and I have to photocopy the receipts. I also got back $5 back on the Sony Superstation tape, I got last week, since it is $5 off this week at $29.99. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>5/16/99 Sunday 10:50 P.M. EDT: I had a Tony's Pizza for dinner and a glass of ice tea. I went back out about 7 P.M.. I walked around lower Greenwich Avenue a few times, and I chatted with a few other walkers. Time does fly on Greenwich Avenue. I noticed quite a few people looked a little tired walking. Well you have to realize at my age I have a little experience walking, unlike some of the office bound crowd, so I have to admit that I am more of a professional walker. Still in the damp weather I am a little slow, but today was a good day and it was enjoyable to get outside and get a little fresh air while the weather is ideal. No unusual events to report this evening. I suppose I will be on a day time schedule tomorrow. I have a 4 P.M. appointment tomorrow afternoon. Somebody has to remind the Greenwich Library to move the "YAK" in front of the senior center back to the new library addition, so I can relax on it when I am having a smoke outside. I think it was on a pedistal a little bit higher at the library, I don't think I have gotten any taller. They're still working on the sewer project underneath the railroad bridge unless it is some undercover activity. Basically with the New Yorkers in Greenwich, and considering New Yorkers are well known for walking, we have quite a few experienced walkers in the area. Still the walk till you drop school of philosophy is good for you health, but I am not sure where it is all leading to, unless they're planning to round us all up and heard us off to some other location. Still it was good to get out and strech the old legs today. Have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>5/16/99 Sunday 5:50 P.M. EDT: I finally went out at about 12:30 P.M.. I stopped by the ATM machine at Putnam Trust. I was all set to go up to Norwalk to CompUSA to buy the IBM Worldbook Cdrom. However at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue by the Island Beach Parking Lot, I saw the Knights of Columbus Flea Market. I toured all the stalls. There was quite an enjoyable collection of oddities. I found a great bargain. I bought for $25 a hardly used CuisinArt Classic with several blades and other attachments and manuals from a very nice lady who had a few items to sell. I then drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a gal from the Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. I chatted with a gentleman who was quite upset with an article in the New York Times about doctors getting kickbacks on medicine. I tried to politely explain that I can't afford to buy the New York Time, but I am a computer system engineers and there are lots of detailed books on any subject in the Greenwich Library when it is open. I then walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I then walked to the top of Greenwich Avenue and chatted with a nice couple from Italy who were wandering about Real Estate and where was Lucas Steak House. I noticed a fellow with a Jupiter sticker on his car on the way up the Avenue, and I mentioned that I think the elderly gentleman complaining about prescriptions thought I was Peter Jennings. I then started walking down the bottom of the Avenue and told another regular walker about the Knights of Columbus Flea Market. I then ran into another walker and I walked back up the Avenue discussing random events and traveling. We walked as far on East Putnam Avenue as Christ Church and the Synacogue. We returned and sat on the bench at the top of Greenwich Avenue discussing various topics. We returned down the avenue, and I gave him a copy of the MI6 list. I dropped him off at his apartment. I then walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by in the Greenwich Common and said hello to a recent arrival from Florida for the third year. I chatted with another downtown regular. I drove back down to the harbor. I gave a British Citizen I ran into a copy of the MI6 list. I returned home and checked out the CuisinArt, but I am too tired to read the manual now. I am a little bit tired, but I think I will try to stay up for a while. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>5/16/99 Sunday 11:05 A.M. EDT: I watched a hour and a half of CNET television programming while making a C: drive to D: drive partial system backup. I will clean up and go out in a while. I noticed a bargain on the CompUSA web site this week, they have the IBM World Book Cdrom for $30 with a $30 mailin rebate from IBM, so it is basically free. Well time to cleanup and go outside. CIO
Note:<888>5/16/99 Sunday 7:35 A.M. EDT: The cable modem and cablevision system are back up working. I guess we had power problems in western Greenwich. I had another breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I have finished my chores for the day. I did a C: hard drive defrag while the cable modem was down. I am listening to the New York Times radio station FM 96.3 which has one of my old 12th Street and Fifth Avenue First Presbyterian Church sermons on 8 A.M. on Sunday Morning, and their live service at 11 A.M.. There internet link is First Presbyterian Church in NYC: index . Well a relative's the old Winfield Scott town house which is just around the corner from them, is now suppose to be the Italian Studies Center for New York University, and it is a block south of the Forbes building also. It is a very historical church. Well the system is back up and running. I will shower and clean up now, and then go out. CIO
Note:<888>5/16/99 Sunday 6:15 A.M. EDT: I went back to bed after the last message. I was finally up at 2 A.M.. I had a meal of Ramen noodles and ice tea. I cleaned the apartment and watered the plants. I printed out four copies of the MI6 list, one for a local British citizen. The lights and power blinked here at 5:40 A.M. EDT. The lights and power stayed on. The cable modem and the cablevision television service are down. The Greenwich Police said the power is off in Western Greenwich. I will try to upload this through the backup phone connection. I will have a Tony's regular cheese pizza, ice tea, and coffee to eat next. I will then clean up, and in about an hour I guess I will go out for a morning drive. Well have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>5/15/99 Saturday 8:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 8 P.M. and it is cool again. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange and grapefruit juice, and cafe au lait. I was thinking yesterday with all the U.S. propaganda on the war with Yugoslavia, one small fact it is never mentioned recently; which years ago was frequently mentioned in news stories when the book and movie Red October came out. It is a simple fact that the Russians maintain a fleet of large nuclear submarines twice the size of the Trident class with significant weapons capability. Moreover they frequently station them just off U.S. territorial waters with a firing range that encompasses all U.S. territory east of Omaha, Nebraska. Moreover, they probably do the same on the west coast. Thus I would assume, if the U.S. and NATO adventures in Yugoslavia were frowned upon by the Russian government, they have ample resources to counter any U.S. and NATO activity. This is all common information that no one seems to be paying attention to recently. Well I am up for another night. Looks like it will be cooler. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>5/15/99 Saturday 11:15 A.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I drove down to the waterfront, and used my binocullars to view Long Island Sound and the North Shore of Long Island. I did not see any smoke coming out of the chimney of the Russian Consulate in Glen Cove, Long Island; so I guess they are not burning their documents yets. However there were plenty of Russians down on Steamboat Road along with the usual morning group of Jahovas Wittnesses that seem to work with them spotting people. The Jahova Wittnesses point you out to the Russians like spotters which I regard as a security violation. The Jahova Wittnesses also have a restraining order against them from the Housing Authority not to bother the tenants at 71 Vinci, however they follow you downtown and keep following you around when you are out in the early morning, and once they learn your routine, they constantly intercept you around town. I have been advised that there is nothing we can do about this, since it is their way of practicing religion, and my neighbors across the hall are Jahova Wittnesses, so they continually focus on me. If they want to try working the downtown at night and the waterfront, tell them to try it to see how much fun it is particularly in the winter. I returned to the center of town and chatted with a few locals. One veteran told me he had heart bypass surgery up at Bridgeport Hospital which is one of the best in that field. I recommended the Cleveland Clinic if things get worse. I went to St. Moritz and had a Almond Danish in the park in front of the senior center. I told a few people about the violation of the offical Secrets Act by posting the MI6 officers on the internet. Now it is too late. I suppose the British will now post a list of American CIA agents on the internet. I hear tell all the MI6 agents drank at the same pub at Cambridge University which was known for the Profumo and 5th Man affairs. Possibly the British are trying to hatch a new espionage novel, or a sequel to Ian Fleming's "James Bond", who knows. I suppose anyone whom speaks English around the world could be regarded as a British Intelligence Agent, until they get to England, and they throw you in the "Tower of London" to feed the crows and keep an eye on the Crown Jewels. After observing the black squirrel in the park, I returned back down to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and I observed dozens of young sailors boarding the Yacht Club Launch with cases of Beer and Coke for a days outing. One waterfront observer noticed they did not have life vests on which is against United States Coast Guard regulations. I suspose if they went down in Greenwich Harbor, they would be able to swim back to shore. I chatted with one local Norwegian Rat about waterfront adventures and other adventures. Somebody tried to take my picture, but I dodged the camera. After fifteen years observing Steamboat Road, I do it all by routine, I don't really think about what I am doing. I suppose when the Russian Navy shows up invading America, they will be pleased to see that there is not much nautical traffic on Long Island Sound. I next headed up to Putnam Trust, Bank of New York and cashed my first check from Microsoft ever, a $10 rebate check from them for buying the $20 Microsoft Money 99 program. I had a witness in the bank witness the act of cashing my first Microsoft check. I mentioned to the witness that, all of those Irish terrorists in Nantucket like the Mellons and the Kennedys think they're in charge, until the main generator fails and all the lights fail. I witnessed the installation of the main generator and it is one of those large 50 foot long ship diesel generators that only the English seem to know how to make not the Irish. So thus when the lights go out in Nantucket and you don't want to burn Sperm Oil, you better be nice to the English if you want the generator fixed with English machine parts. I can not afford to buy the Greenwich Times, however the headline says that Greenwich is only the 26th wealthiest town in America, however Fisher's Island off of Miami formerly owned by the Vanderbilt family in now number one; however after this years 1999 hurricane season, they all seem to have homes in Greenwich anyway; but maintain Florida residency for tax purposes, so if Fishers Island is whipped out by the 1999 hurricane season; Greenwich will probably return to being the wealthiest town in America. Conventional wisdom around the old time Pelican Watchers in Biscayne Bay, is that when the Pelicans don't show in the morning and the evening, it is time for the people to get out. So much for bird watching. Well after the bank, I drifted over to the Hospital Thrift shop; and informed them about the MI6 list. They had no idea what MI6 was. I next returned home, and told my neighbor that I don't like the Jahovah Witnesses bothering me when I am bird watching. I returned to the apartment and registered the proper complaints with the United States Secret Service Intelligence division, the Greenwich Police Department, and the Greenwich Housing Authority. I am sure they're all be having an enjoyable day birdwatching while I am asleep. Well have a good day, and don't take any wooden nickles. Looks to be a good day. CIO
Note:<888>5/15/99 Saturday 6:10 A.M. EDT: Well I finished sifting through the last few days email. There is not much really happening on the net. I guess so many of these internet entrepreneurs have made small forturnes, that they are going down to Argentina, South Africa, Chile, New Zealand, and Australia for our summer, so they can stay cool and cold, and not get too hot this summer. Of course, it might have been cheaper to buy an air conditioner, but when you like to spend lots of time outside in the cool weather, I hear tell up north in the summer around Canada, Alaska, Russia, Scandanavia, Scotland, Ireland, Greenland, Iceland, etc.; it does not get that warm; but I really have never have traveled far north in the summer except to southern Canada. I do think the north wood get a lot of black flies, mosquitoes, and other insect pests though. Well time to start slowing down for the day. If you see any MI6 spies around, advise them with the cold war getting colder; there might be some money in writting cold war espionage again, which has pretty much dried up during more recent peaceful times. Well not much happening here, all quiet on the eastern front. CIO
Note:<888>5/15/99 Saturday 3:05 A.M. EDT: With over one fourth the world's population crossing International Borders every year, there seems to be a big stink about List of MI6 Officers and local mirror of list mi6-list.htm . I guess they all are having their fifteen seconds of fame. Well I had a Tony's regular cheese pizza along with ice tea, and I finished my laundry. Well back to reading the last few days email. CIO
Note:<888>5/15/99 Saturday 1:15 A.M. EDT: I went out at about 10 P.M., after lowering the temperature in my apartment by turning on the air conditioner. I went downtown and viewed the harbor. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of times and the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. About midnight I stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn to use the restroom. I viewed the harbor again. They still have sewer construction underneath the Steamboat Road railroad bridge. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought three Tony's regular pizzas for $2.50 each and a hundred count box of Lipton Tea bags for $2.89 for a $10.39 total. I chatted with one regular internet user and library user about the internet. I returned home and put away the groceries, and I started my laundry which should be finished with the wash cycle in about ten minutes. It was a very quiet evening without much to report. I suppose I will sift through my internet email. Well have a good morning. CIO
