Note: <888> 06/30/08 Monday 4:30 P.M.  I made up a batch of sugar free Jell-o using one black cheery and one raspberry, and I used a 15 ounce can of DelMonte lite sliced peaches and a 20 ounce can of Libby's sliced pineapple.  I used the juice from the can along with passion punch for the cold liquid.  It takes four hours to set in the refrigerator.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/30/08 Monday 4:00 P.M.  After lunch, I went outside, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I took a walk around the building.  One of the neighbors told me, the window people were here to measure for the broken window in the community room.  I moved the two www.army.mil extreme cold weather sleeping bags good to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit from behind the bedroom door to another more convenient storage place, so the bedroom door now opens more fully.  I will now go through my email.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/30/08 Monday 2:45 P.M.  I woke up at 5 P.M. this morning.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I went back to bed until 8 A.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I went outside, and I threw out some garbage, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I took the folding oaks TV tables out of the rear of the Audi, and I gave the two yellow folding deck chairs to a neighbor.  Now the rear trunk area of the Audi has more room.  I still have the burgundy folding nylon chairs in the rear of the Audi.  I still have my tool case in it too.   I brought up the folding oak tables, and I put them behind the French reproduction chair.  I took the pillows and green corduroy slip cover off the down sofa.  I put the slip cover folded up on the floor on the bedroom closet.  I put the two large pillows on the bed.  I stored the smaller pillows elsewhere.  I then took the pillows and cushions off the down sofa, and after moving the small computer desk and www.harvard.edu chair and Mongoose bike out in the hallway, I pulled out the frame of the down sofa, and I took it outside, and I left if by the dumpster with the cushions and pillows.  I then moved the brass and glass coffee table six inches further away from the Scott family sofa, so there is about two feet between it and the brass and glass coffee table for easier access to the stereo system and the Epox computer.  I move the oval Aubusson carpet from underneath the computer chair to the area where the down sofa was.  I put the Mongoose bike against the rear of the Epox computer setup and brass and glass coffee table.  I put the small computer table and Harvard chair back in about the same location, but with it pushed forward a bit more, so there is more space walking between it and dining table.  I threw out the Mexican terracotta painted pot from the window ledge in the living room, and I put it by the dumpster.  I moved the pathos plant from the bathroom to the same window ledge location in the living room sitting in a large crystal bowl for drainage.  I move the two pieces of coral from the small telephone table in the bathroom to underneath the bathroom sink.  I moved the new electric shaver and new hair trimmer to behind the bedroom door.  I took the small telephone table from the bathroom, and I put it on an angle into the room with the tea table to the left of the French reproduction chair.  I have the small Panasonic TV on the telephone table with the two line telephone on the tea table in front of it with the paper shredder underneath it.   I had taken down the Williamsburg candle sconces at the apartment closet wall, but I put them back up, since there is now more room.  I also moved one of the power strips from the small computer table to the floor by the French antique reproduction chair, and I moved the 1989 social register and telephone books from the small computer table to the lower shelf of the telephone table.  Thus overall the apartment has a less cluttered and more spacious appearance.  The access to the toilet in the bathroom is now fully opened.   I will now eat a baloney and cheese sandwich with dill pickle slice and 1/3rd of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringles sour cream and onion potato chips with a glass of cold filtered water.  Pictures below.   CIO

Note: <888> 06/29/08 Sunday 12:45 P.M.  I poked with a fork three sets of holes on each of four sides of a medium large potato.  I microwaved it on a potato cycle, and then I let it stand on the cutting board, while I microwaved for five minutes a 7.5 ounce pouch of Green Giant frozen peas and at the same time, I fried on medium high electric burner heat in a frying pan with a small bit of butter and olive oil a 7 ounce precooked Jone's ham steak which I flipped regularly.  I put butter on the potato and peas, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  I poured off the ham grease into the grease jar.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will take a nap for a while.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/29/08 Sunday 11:35 A.M.  I woke up at 5:30 A.M. this morning.  I watched a vintage Interpol movie that seemed a bit dated.  I watched a vintage Las Angeles fire department promotion which seemed a bit dated.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I went outside, and I threw out some garbage, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I walked around the building.  I did some bottom fishing on the internet for UPS items that I do not really need and can not afford.

Alas although I am good at bottom fishing, my budget can not always afford sale items.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 9:10 P.M.  I chatted with my relatives in Kennebunkport, Maine, and they made it up there all right, and the house is fine thanks to the other relatives up there.  On Grandma Scott's side of the family side, the Gard family were the original settlers of the George's Plantation in York, Maine, so more than likely there are a lot of relatives up in that neck of the woods, whom know there way around better than I do.  I ate the last two bowls of low fat Cheez-its.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  They're calling for showers starting soon and through tomorrow, so I probably will now be going out tomorrow.   The good news is that they will clean off the cars a bit.   The cell phone of a friend does not work in New London, Connecticut, so I no longer have contact with the military up there.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 6:25 P.M.  I went outside, and I moved the other silver family car on the right side of the Audi.  I do not plan to drive the other car, and my relative will pick it up on this Wednesday.  I walked around the building.  There is a broken upper window on the west side of the community room.   There seems to be a lot of blackberries in the bush on the south side of the community room or some other type of berries.   I chatted with neighbors.  I picked up my mail.  I received another $10 survey check from Knowledge Networks.  I was given a gift by my relative a pair of waste 42 inch tan Ralph Lauren polo walking shorts, which I am sure will be handy this summer.   They fit quite well.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 5:15 P.M.  I chatted with a relative.  I made and ate the same sautéed boneless pork tenderloin dinner that I have been eating recently, which I ate with a glass of cold filtered water.  I chatted with a friend.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 2:45 P.M.  My relatives stopped by the Mobil gasoline station across the street and were surprised by the high price of gasoline in this area, and they arrived at about 1:30 P.M..  They came up and looked at my apartment and used the bathroom.  The fed their dog some gourmet dog food.  They think I should get rid of some of the clutter in my apartment, but it makes sense to me in terms of the way it has evolved over 19.5 years.  They left about 2 P.M. for Kennebunkport, Maine.  Here are a few pictures I was able to take.  I also chatted with a friend whom used my apartment constantly until two years ago which had to do with a bit of the way it evolved.  They left the other family car for another relative to pickup on Wednesday for a trip north.

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 12:05 P.M.  A relative called, and they are about an hour away.  They will call me when they are on the Merritt Parkway nearby.  They do not think they should take the Heineken, since it would get warm in the car, and it would not be any good.  Well, if George Cary ever visits, I still have beer for him.  I guess they will only get the multi packs of batteries.  I chatted with another friend earlier.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 11:35 A.M.  I chatted with one of my relatives about 11 A.M., and they were just leaving, so they should be here between 1:30 P.M. and 2 P.M..  They do not need the Black and Decker Professional jar opener in Maine, so I will have to figure out something else to do with it.  They are going to leave another family car here, for a relative to pick up later in the week to drive north for the Fourth of July holiday.  I went outside, and I sat out briefly.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/28/08 Saturday 10:55 A.M.   After the last note, I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors, and I picked up my mail.  One of my neighbors told me that he had watched the Greenwich RTM on television when they approved the funds for replacing the windows in the apartment building I live at 71 Vinci Drive with double pane windows.  The apparently do not plan to do it until November 2008, which might be a little bit cold outside to have the windows removed in a retirement home.  I went to bed, and I woke up at 4 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I went back to bed until 8 A.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I went outside, and I threw out some garbage, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I chatted with a relative, and my relatives will be leaving about 10:30 A.M. for a three hour drive here and then further up north to Kennebunkport, Maine to their summer home.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I have the Black and Decker Professional Jar opener to give them, two multi packs of CVS batteries I bought on sale in December 2007, and a 12 pack of Heineken that I bought about a year ago, but I kept cold in the refrigerator.  I put three bottles of Perrier in the refrigerator.  I also have a six pack of German Lendener beer from Cologne, Germany in the refrigerator that I bought about six years ago, and I have kept refrigerated, but I am not sure it still is good.  I saw last weekend on the Creative channel, that one can use beer to make batter for fish and chips, but I normally do not deep fat fry in oil.  I ate two bowls of low fat Cheez-its.  I also took the six 64 ounce empty ice tea jugs out of the refrigerator, so there is more room.  CIO     

Note: <888> 06/27/08 Friday 5:20 P.M.  I ate two bowls of low fat Cheez-its.

I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I guess I will go to bed soon.  However, I might go out and pickup my mail.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/27/08 Friday 4:00 P.M.  I checked the mileage to the end of Steamboat Road from my parking place at Vinci Drive today, and it is about exactly seven miles round trip and it is five miles round trip to the Senior and Arts center.  Ergo, it costs me with an average amount of traffic about $3.25 round trip to drive from here to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and it costs me $2.30 from here round trip to the Senior and the Arts center, ergo I do not go out as much anymore in the Audi, except for when the weather permits, and I feel up to it.  I guess I am getting a bit lazy in my old age of 58 years old.  Well, if Bill Gates can retire at age 53 today, I guess I can retire and manage my life at age 58 years of age.  Trust me, I have seen just about everything there is to see on West Putnam Avenue, Greenwich Avenue, and Steamboat Road, and since I grew up in this area, when gasoline was much cheaper, I have pretty much seen the rest of the area too for what its worth.  It looks better in the summer, but in the winter it is pretty bleak and cold, and unless one has a warm comfortable home, it can become quite uncomfortable.  I will now go through my email.  I guess nobody else has two cents to add.  I watched part of a Western on television.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/27/08 Friday 2:55 P.M.  I checked out from the Greenwich Library, "Hacking Exposed, Fifth Edition, Network Security Secrets and Solutions" by McAfee and Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, and George Kurtz.  Hopefully I will have time to read it.  I was also told by a neighbor, that the Food Emporium being remodeled across the street from the Stop and Shop is going to reopen in a couple of a weeks as an A&P store with lower prices than the Food Emporium chain which is also owned by the A&P chain.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/27/08 Friday 2:35 P.M.  Yesterday, I ate the other 1/3rd of a box of a 12 ounce box of CVS spiced wafers.  I woke up at 5 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.   I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I chatted with a neighbor, and I gave another neighbor a ride downtown to work, and I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played a 7 11 21 scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.   I sat out for a while downtown.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, but none of the regular fishermen were there, I guess because of the higher prices of fuel.  I saw a grey and a white heron on the waterfront.  I next went by the Greenwich Library.  I sat out for a while waiting for it to open.  I chatted with a regular.  I read P.C. Shopper, Popular Mechanics, and Popular Science, and Computerworld.  I noticed in the July 2008 issue of Popular Science there was an article about Google Maps, and how it is used for tracking Volcanic Ash activity, and it mentioned the www.klm.com flight that lost all four jet engines over an erupting volcano over Alaska on December 15, 1989.  I met the copilot of that flight, and he was a nephew of Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands, so obviously the Dutch have some interest.  I next returned home.   I chatted with a neighbor.  The Logitech S220 Multimedia Speaker System for $22.99 with free 7 to 9 day shipping Buy.com - Computers, Electronics, Digital Cameras, Books, DVDs, Music, Games, Software, Toys, Sports Logitech S220 Multimedia Speaker System $22.99 with free shipping and Logitech > Partners > System Builders + Integrators > Speakers > S-220™ Speaker System arrived via FedEx in a day.  I installed the system on the Northgate Syntax computer, and it works quite well. It has a separate plugs for the headset on the control panel, but one can either have the speakers playing or the headset playing, because plugging in the headset disables the speakers.  I put the speaker system on the Lazy Susan that the monitor sits on.  I removed the Y splitter from the system, since I no longer need it.  I put it in the upper left desk drawer.  I put the pair of Jensen speakers I took off on the Bedroom Gigabyte computer, and I removed a generic pair from it, and I stored it underneath the sideboard.  I chatted with a relative who is going to stop by briefly and visit tomorrow afternoon.  I made and ate the same chef's salad that I have been eating recently, and I ate it with a glass of cold filtered water.  I watered the plants.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I watched part of a television program about Hawaii.  When I visited there in August 1980, it was too hot for me there, and I spent a lot of time at the pool at the Maui Hotels, Kaanapali Beach Hawaii Resorts & Room Reservations-Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, and I paid about $85 a day for the cheapest air conditioned room, but the food was expensive.  It was an enjoyable break from the mainland, but I did not see much of Maui, but the two taxi rides from one airport to the hotel, and the other taxi ride to another airport on return.  CIO         

Note: <888> 06/26/08 Thursday 9:40 P.M.  I ate the same dinner as the last five days.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Note: <888> 06/26/08 Thursday 8:05 P.M.  I went to bed until about 10 A.M..  The building custodian knocked on the door, and shortly there after the window people measured the windows.  They said in about five months next fall, when they install the double pane windows, they have to move the furniture inside four feet away from the windows.  The Greenwich Housing Authority told me that the building custodian would help me move the furniture then, but the building custodian did not seem enthusiastic about the idea.  Since the state of Connecticut is $150 million in debt, I am not sure they even have the money to install new double pane windows.  I chatted with www.cl-p.com about the supposed matching energy grant, and from what they told me I would not be eligible for it, since I do not use enough energy.  I chatted with a friend.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out to my 3 P.M. appointment.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I then sat outside downtown at the Senior and the Arts center for a while.  I then went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon gasoline station, and I bought $6.01 of self service premium unleaded gasoline for $5.019 a gallon for 1.19 gallons for 12.4 miles driving since Monday at odometer reading of 60092 for an average of 10.420 miles per gallon driving in heavy local traffic with the air conditioner going.  I cleaned the outside windows, and I checked the tires for 34 PSI.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a half gallon of Florida Natural orange juice with calcium for $3, 1.5 pounds of German Baloney for $2.79 a pound for $4.54, a 13.5 ounce box of low fat Cheez-its for $2.50, a 64 ounce container of Stop and Shop crangrape and a 64 ounce container of Stop and Shop cranraspberry juice each for $2 each, and a head of Foxy iceberg lettuce for $1.79 for $15.83 total.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail, and I put away the groceries.  I had a telephone call from some California magazine wanting to know more about http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm , and I told them what little I seem to remember about him.  I chatted with a friend.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/26/08 Thursday 7:25 A.M.  I ate the same chef's salad that I have been eating recently, and I also put some bacon bits with it.  I ate it with  a glass of cold filtered water.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will take a nap for a while.   CIO

If you forget it does get cold up north in the winter, and more than likely with the cooler summer this summer, we might have a colder winter this upcoming winter with higher energy bills.  Last winter, they sold out of Union Suits by Christmas Time.  Remember, you can always wear one pair over another pair for extra warmth, and I still think they might shrink, so I ordered the largest size last fall in case they do, but I did not dry them in the dryer, but I let them drip dry in the bathroom, so I do not know if they shrink or not.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/24/08 Tuesday 10:20 A.M.  I straightened up the brown runner rug that runs from the apartment entrance and behind the down sofa to the hallway.  It gets out of alignment every couple of weeks or so.  I used the swivel sweeper to clean the carpets.  I am charging up its battery pack.  I went outside, and I threw out garbage.  I walked around the building.   They are measuring the windows in the building for replacement with double pane glass in the near future.  I chatted with a smaller neighbor, and I told him about the red wolf possibly being a tan shepherd that got away for a while, since I saw a similar animal downtown on a leash on Sunday mornings at Starbucks.  With the lights on in the apartment, I can notice more easily maintenance activity that needs to be done as I go through my routines.  Plus it is more cheerful.  For some reason the emergency generator is running in back.  I have my usual 3 P.M. appointment today.  I am so use to getting out for a walk downtown every day, it is hard to get use to only getting out two or three times a week, and less for a walk, since frequently after my daytime appointments, I am too tired to take a walk.  I will now make the same dinner as the last two days, but I will only use one boneless center cut pork tenderloin.  I currently weight 215 pounds, so I could stand to lose 20 pounds or more.  I chatted with a relative.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/24/08 Tuesday 8:10 A.M.  I ate the 1.4 ounce Heath Candy Bar.

Note: <888> 06/24/08 Tuesday 7:35 A.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I ordered two Bellsouth Two-Way Talk Radio - 2276GY - Buy.com for $10 each for $20 total with free shipping.  I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/24/08 Tuesday 6:35 A.M.  After the last note yesterday, I rested until about 8 A.M..  I watched some television.  I chatted with a relative around 9:30 A.M..  I decided not to try not to drink anymore iced tea anymore, since it is a diuretic, and it makes one have to go to the bathroom more frequently.  I went to bed about 11 A.M..  I had a telephone call from a relative about 4 P.M..  I went back to bed until 8 P.M..  I chatted with the same relative.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I went back to bed until midnight.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I watched some television.  I made and ate the same chef's salad as a few days ago, which I also put a bit of blue cheese dressing on.  I ate it with a glass of cold filtered watered.  I rested through out the morning, and I watched television.  I finished eating the last box of low fat Cheez-its yesterday and today.   There is not really that much on television during the early morning hours, and it is mostly reruns.  I threw out some garbage, and I said hello to a neighbor going out early.  I decided to work with the primary lights on in the living room, since I seem to be more efficient with the lights going as opposed to a few low lights, since without the lights, I tend to get a bit tired in the darkness.  I got my $10 monthly check for the survey I fill out each month.  It will pay to keep the lights on.  CIO      

Note: <888> 06/23/08 Monday 4:35 A.M.  I made and ate the same dinner as yesterday reheating the remaining flavored rice from yesterday.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go back to bed or take a nap.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/23/08 Monday 3:15 A.M.   I could order a couple of these to have for the Audi for $2.25 each and $3 shipping for $7.50 total http://www.flagline.com/id42AW019 , but although I am half Dutch from Holland, Michigan, I do not speak Dutch, so if any Dutch people tried to talk to me, it would probably be confusing.  I should wait until after the first of the month, when I pay my bills.  It is sort of strange on this link http://www.flagline.com/id41A056 , South Viet-Nam decal comes up.  CIO

I did some bottom fishing on the internet.  I emailed copies of my 1998 Audi A6 owned by Michael Scott Connecticut registration and title to two relatives in Pennsylvania who were previous owners.  Apparently the State of Pennsylvania still shows they are the owners.  Since my Connecticut license plate is "840 GXO" sometimes, the last letter "O" is mistaken for a "0".  Well, at least I have a full tank of gasoline since I am practicing energy conservation and not driving too far most of the time.  I could always buy a http://www.flagline.com/id42A240 Oval Decal for $2.25 and $3 shipping to see if anyone takes note.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 11:55 P.M.  I woke up at 9:30 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I chatted with a local security group about what is happening out in Bayville, Long Island with so many people using electricity in the morning hours.  I know Brookhaven National Laboratory is out there, and they have a Graphite Atomic Reactor built in 1948, so maybe they are getting spare electricity generating power out of that.  It would seem to me, it could be a lot of California tech people are use to being up all night, and they have settled in a group out there in high tech over the years.  I know Dave Wheatly was not high tech.  He delivered the Queen Mary I to Long Beach, California, and he use to ferry Spitfires over here.  Possibly it is some sort of British Intelligence group living out there sitting nearby the Trans Atlantic telephone cable which would carry the internet also.  More than likely since Computer Associates is out there as well as Grumman, it is a mixed bag of fish trying to exercise undue influence over the internet.  I do know Helen Kress Williams of Oyster Bay, Long Island had the same look as Dorothy Bush, and possibly the excess energy out there is coming from Williams Energy as opposed to Lilco.  It would seem to me, we have more resources here on the south shore of Connecticut with all of New England and Canada to the north of us.  I have contacts out in Long Island, so I just called them up, and I had them take a look around to see what sort of activity is happening around out there.  It would seem to me that from my experience out on the north shore of Long Island, there are a lot of Germans out there, and from what I know about the Germans, they never give you a straight forward answer like they do not even know what is going on.  Possibly it is some group of students from Post College all living out in Bayville, Long Island, and as I recall the New York Institute of Technology is nearby also.   Possibly some guru with the real satellite photographs as opposed to the fake ones might figure out what is happening out there.  I do not get much feed back out of anyone around here, since they are not too heavily involved with the internet from what I can tell.  Who knows maybe some sort of secret internet cartel is being run out of Bayville, Long Island, and they are prospering off of raising worldwide oil prices and blaming it on everyone else.  I have had a theory for a long time that all of the world's problems are caused by about fifty thousand well financed trouble makers, and the rest of the world just watches in bewilderment.  CIO     

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 2:30 P.M.  I called up www.geico.com , and I gave them a lengthy briefing on local events.  I threw out some garbage, and I said hello to some neighbors.  We have a thunderstorm coming in.  I chatted with a friend.  I chatted with a local security official about my suspicions that since about three weeks ago at night, when I observed the north shore of Long Island at night from Steamboat Road, it was totally dark along the entire length of the North Shore of Long Island as far one could see, but for some odd reason there were about 500 small houses totally lighted up along the waterfront in the Bayville, Long Island area from 2 A.M. to 4 A.M. on a week day night, so obviously somebody in that section is using a lot of electricity at night, when their wealthier neighbors are not.  I know the Russia, German, and French consulates are out that way, so maybe there is a large group of Europeans or people from the Eastern Hemisphere setting the overseas markets in the early morning hours, while most people are asleep.  Dave Wheatly who I use to talk with at Tod's Point in Greenwich use to drive around in a black Volkswagen with the British Union Jack on the front plate, and he once told me his son had moved to Bayville, so maybe other younger European up and coming movers and shakers have settled out there in inexpensive beach houses in mass.  It is really none of my business, but from what I know of the area, the Old Guard out there do not keep a very close eye on matters.  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 10:55 A.M.  I sautéed two boneless center cut pork tenderloins in olive oil, chopped garlic, butter, and a sliced medium onion, and I seasoned them with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and Italian spices, and for the last couple of minutes, I steamed it all with soy sauce and a little bit of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, and I ate it with flavored rice half of which I put in a Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator and 1.5 cups of baby carrots and broccoli crowns with butter, and a glass of iced tea.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 9:20 A.M.  I went downtown after the last note.  I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and also over to the south side of the Greenwich Train station.  On the south side of the Greenwich Train station crossover walkway, there is a notice that a 15 year old boy from Peru is missing in New Rochelle, New York.  There is a number to call on the notice.  There are no computer items in the dumpster area of the lower garage at the Greenwich Train station, but there are a lot of boxes for new items that have been purchased.  There still seems to be quite a bit of traffic on I-95.  I sat out for a while at the south office building plaza.   At Carriage House Motors, they have a vintage purple www.cadillac.com convertible about 1957 put possibly is it is a 1961.  It is the one with about six inch fins.  Maybe Wiley Middleton is around still trying to sell Cadillacs.  I sat out for a while at the post office plaza which gets the sun in the early morning hours.  I walked up Greenwich Avenue.  The new office building at Armagone Causeway is coming along just fine.  It is just south of some Swiss Bank.  I walked over to the Chase Bank on Mason Street, and I used the ATM machine there.  I then walked over to the Y.M.C.A., and I looked through the window at the new swimming pools.   They seem to be state of the art.  I chatted with somebody from Columbia who wanted to know where the Greenwich Train station was.  I gave him directions.  I walked as far East as Milbank Avenue.  There is a nice wine store next door the restaurant where Tuscon's used to be.  I walked back west on the north side of East Putnam Avenue, and then I walked back down Greenwich Avenue.  I sat out for a while.  I then walked back down Greenwich Avenue, and I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought a ACE's High scratch guard for a dollar, but the dealer had a Queen, so I lost.  I then used the bathroom at the lower level of the Greenwich Train station.  I then returned back up Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while.  I noticed a lady walking a tan German Shepherd that looked a bit like the Red Wolf that I saw on Memorial Day morning.  Maybe it got away and was wandering in our neighborhood.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, but none of the usual fishermen were there, so I guess they no longer can afford to drive down there like myself.  I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon gasoline station, and I bought $6.02 of self service premium for 1.199 gallons at $5.019 a gallon for 11.2 miles driving since last Thursday at odometer reading of 60080 at 9.341 miles per gallon.  However, I filled the Audi up to the maximum which is why the gasoline mileage is not as good.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a package of eight boneless center cut pork chops for $2.49 a pound for $7.59, a top Round London Broil for $2.49 a pound for $6.32, a half gallon of Florida Natural Orange Juice with calcium for $3, a two pound package of baby carrots for $2.99, a quart jar of Vlassic Kosher dill pickles for $2, fresh green Chiquita bananas for .64 a pound for $2.46, broccoli crowns at $1.99 a pound for $2.63, and a bulb of garlic for $2.99 a pound for .39 for $27.38 total.  The meat was on sale for half price or better.  I then used the ATM machine at the Chase Bank at the Stop and Shop plaza.  I then returned home, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I put away the groceries.  I used the Cuisine Art to make five 8.5 ounce hamburgers out of the London Broil, and I froze them in double baby carrot zip lock bags.  The newest burgers in the freezer are on the lower right freezer door.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 3:35 A.M.  I put away the laundry.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will shower and clean up, and I will go downtown for a walk.  I need to stop by the Stop and Shop at 7 A.M. to get some bananas, so I will probably linger for a while downtown.  Have a good morning.  It is suppose to rain at 10 A.M..  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 2:20 A.M.  I made and ate the same chef's salad as yesterday along with eating the rest of the pineapple fruit mixture with a glass of 50% cold filtered water and 50% iced tea.  I did two wash loads of laundry, and I am only doing one dryer load.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/22/08 Sunday 12:30 A.M.  After the last note, I watched some cooking shows on the Creative Channel 133 HDTV Magazine - Broadcast Station/Network Guide (WLIWDT3 (WLIW-DT3)) on the Digital Cablevision System.  I went to bed about 11 A.M..  I woke up at 4 P.M., when Veterans for McCain John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President called me.  I told then I had linked his web page from my server, and I asked them to email me any information.  I went back to bed until 7 P.M.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I went back to bed until 10 P.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes.  This past Thursday, I told a customer who was looking to buy a used Sony DVD player at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop for $35 that he could buy a refurbished one almost new for $35 on the internet.  The web page for the Sony refurbished items is here Sony Outlet & Refurbished Products .  I went downstairs to do laundry, but the machines are currently busy.  I threw out some garbage, and I heard something moving out in the woods like an animal behind the dumpster.  There is an orange moon tonight, but I can not tell if it is a full moon.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I will do the laundry shortly.  I made up another batch of passion punch.  Yesterday morning, I drank three 60% full glasses of 50% passion punch and 50% seltzer.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/21/08 Saturday 9:00 A.M.   I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go back to bed.  Have a good morning.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/21/08 Saturday 5:05 A.M.  I made and ate a four egg omelet with grate parmesan cheese on top and two slices of Kraft white cheese inside along with five strips of fried bacon and two slices of toasted dark German beer with butter and a glass of 50% iced tea and 50% cold filtered water.  I will now go through my email.  I was told that in World War II, the Dutch survived by eating tulip bulbs and the Germans survived by eating cabbages and turnips.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/21/08 Saturday 3:45 A.M.  I woke up yesterday at 7:30 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I went outside, and I threw out some garbage and the old periodical literature.  I watered the plants.   I chatted with a relative.  About 11:30 P.M., I rinsed in cold water five large leaves of iceberg lettuce, and I shook them to dry them off.  I broke them into small piece, and I spread them over a larger dinner plate.  I then split lengthwise into quarters about 15 baby carrots, and I spread them over the plate.  I spread about a half cup of broccoli crowns broken into small pieced over the plate.  I peeled and diced a half of a medium small onion, and I spread them around the plate.  I diced a dill pickle spear, and I spread it over the plate.  I took five 1/32nd inch thick slices of German baloney, and I cut it across in half, and I laid one half on top of the other, and I cut it into 5/16th inch wide ribbons, and I spread the baloney over the plate.  I did the same with three slices of Kraft white cheese.  I sprinkled it on top with a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, and I poured Kraft Balsamic vinegar over the salad, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea and a bowl of the pineapple fruit mixture.  I went back to bed until 3 A.M..  Frequently when we have rain or low barometric pressure, since I have lot blood pressure, I tend to feel more tired.  I watched part of a program about Todd English's travels in food in Italy Todd English's Tuscany Restaurant Uncasville Hartford (CT) CT Reviews Gayot.   Gloria Estefan's has a new hotel in Vero Beach, Florida which is already fully booked up with European Tourists for the next three months Vero Beach Hotels: Costa d’Este Central Florida FL luxury oceanfront resorts spas conferences centers suites romantic family vacations getaways destinations special weddings meetings events planning packages cuban cuisine dining restaurants .  I my food stamps this year were increased from $117 to $118 a month.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 7:45 A.M.  Of course for any of you urban dwellers on the waterfront, I once saw about 50 pound rat along the waterfront in the Chelsea area of Manhattan.  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 7:20 A.M.  I called up the Greenville, South Carolina Sheriff's office at the non emergency number at 1-864-271-5210 Greenville County Sheriff's Office , and I briefed them on the Red wolf, but they did not tell me whether there had been any recent sightings.  I still have to deal with the primary directive of the senior British resident here which is, "Keep Doing What You Are Doing. You Are Not Suppose to Know What Goes On.  Get a Hair Cut. and Stay Focused."  Of course in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe they have Mountain Lions, so I guess a Red Wolf is not too much of a problem.  However, in the page on them, it says they are nocturnal, and I tend to be nocturnal, so more than likely we will cross paths again.  At age 58, I have arthritis on damp days, and I am a bit lame, and I know from previous wild life experience, certain wild life like to take advantage of lame animals which would include humans.  Since I do not have good marksman skills after working with computers for 20 years this time around, there is no point in taking preventive measures with some sort of firearms that I do not know how to use.  I once might have had some MACE around, but I do not think it would work on a Carolina or Texas red wolf.  I will just hope the next time it checks me out, it is not hungry.  Other wildlife sightings on land that I can remember are a 14 foot alligator outside the tent in Hilton Head, South Carolina on the beach in late April 1978.  A Grey Panther in Boca Raton in the morning by the polo fields at sunrise in February 1979.  A bob cat or similar cat like a Lynx at John's Island in Vero Beach, Florida four years ago in February, and three years ago in the same location at about the same time, a black Brazilian Jaguar type of cat.  Also about eight years ago, some sort of animal that activate my cat allergies and weighed about 200 pound jumped on the roof of my old 1976 White Volvo up by Lowell Weicker's house here in Greenwich by the reservoir.  Also up in Kennebunkport, Maine this past July 2007, I saw a large black German Shepard type dog about twice the size of a police dog outside the gate at Walker's Point, but nobody knew of any such animals in the area.  Also about 15 years ago, I saw what looked like a black dog with orange mane and blue eyes outside the Old Greenwich Train station near the Rummage Room thrift shop, which looked like a Timber Wolf when Tod's Point was flooded with about four feet of water.  Of course I have seen animals in zoos.  Also in Lanzarote in February 1972 when I was camping out on the far west side of the island in the pitch black at the location where the movie a "Million Years B.C." was filmed, I perceived some sort of large creature had come out of the ocean, but I could not tell what it was since it was so dark, one could not even see one's hand in front of their eyes.  I did not go back in the daytime to investigate for tracks.  I might have seen more wildlife in my youth down south,  which is why I seem to take a bit of notice, but I do not remember that far back, other than when I was about four years old in Pensacola, Florida, I took the small row boat out in the bayou across the street and about a eight foot long alligator kept me from coming ashore for about an hour, which made me a bit nervous.  Of course there was the Coral Snake outside Steve Salisbury's trailer in Key West at Boca Chica back in February 1982 too.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 5:25 A.M.  I would rather not be out in the early morning hours after 7 A.M. bringing back three pounds of beef with a Texas or Carolina red wolf out in the woods nearby  http://www.ryanphotographic.com/images/JPEGS/Canis%20rufus%20red%20wolf.jpg .  It is possibly a Red Wolf or Canis Rufus.  The one neighbor whom claims he was recently pinned against the dumpster by it seems to have disappeared recently, so perhaps he has more common sense than the rest of us.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 5:15 A.M.  This picture adequately represents the fact that Richard Van Marter has some sort of Swiss connection http://mikelouisscott.com/rv-ch-92.jpg besides being 14th generation Dutch New York and formerly Helen Clay Frick's next door neighbor in Bedford, New York, so I seem to manage to get by here in public housing in Greenwich, Connecticut despite the fact that my high class friends do not like being shook down by the local Mafia where ever they might be from.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 4:50 A.M.  I ate three small bowls of low fat Cheez-its.  If anyone in Switzerland think they can impersonate me, they do not know how thorough the Swiss are.  Back in February 1972 when I traveled from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France by train, I had to change trains in Chamonix, France, which means that would have been the first time I traveled into and out of Switzerland.  I had to present my U.S.A. passport along with filling out the required documentation for the Swiss authorities, so they would have had my fingerprints on record back then in Switzerland.  I also returned to Geneva, Switzerland for a day during the Albertville, France winter Olympics back in February 1992 twenty years later.  I unwrapped a number of basic www.mcdonalds.com cheeseburgers which had paper on them, I signed a sales receipt for a basic yellow Swiss Army knife for about $7 at the most expensive gun shop in Geneva which top copy of the sales receipt the shop keeper kept, and I recall cashing a couple of American Express Traveler's Checks, so more than likely my fingerprints are well documented in Switzerland in their records, so it would be hard for any idiot to impersonate me, since they Swiss tend to be very accurate record keepers, and over there they deal with a lot of people whom look like me all of the time.  Thus from a legal perspective, your Hollywood perspective does not hold any water, and from what little I know about forensic investigations, more than likely the Swiss already have the answer anyway.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 3:50 A.M.  I don't think there is any rush to go out to the Stop and Shop before it opens at 7 A.M. this morning, since it would be 3.5 miles round trip at .46 a mile or $1.61 in fuel.  Usually when London Broil is on sale, it is not a big seller, since most people do not know what to do with large chunks of meat which I made into hamburger with the Cuisine Art.  Also boneless center cut pork shops are $2.49 a pound, and with the large Jewish population in town, pork is not a big seller.  I am fine for now, and maybe later on next week, I will see if the sale items are still available.  I have three bananas left, so I do not really need to go out until Sunday or Monday.  I have plenty of food to use up at home http://mikelouisscott.com/inventory.htm .  The reason I am able to spend so much money on computers and other household items is that I watch every penny, and I generally go out when it is less busy except on Thursday afternoons, when I have a standing appointment, and every other Tuesday afternoon, when I have a standing appointment.  I have plenty of activity with the internet to keep my busy at home, and I do not need to waste my money going downtown to watch a lot of women power shoppers strut their stuff.  I ate a bowl of the pineapple fruit mixture.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 3:25 A.M.  Of course George Cary with access to a lot of electricity from Niagara Falls does not worry too much about energy http://mikelouisscott.com/photo/mike-scott-with-distant-relative-whom-knows-about-horses-with-relative-whom-knows-about-railroads-putnam-hotel-in-saratoga-ny-about-summer-1990.jpg and with connections with the Union Pacific Union Pacific and W. Averell Harriman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia does not eat much beef.  However, with connections to New York Racing Association - Belmont Park , he knows a lot of people with farms whom might have other products besides horses.  He once told me when he was working with horses in Canada, if you ever make a deal with Arthur Hancock .: Stone Farm : you should not cross him.  I figured it was because he was related to John Hancock who signed the Declaration of Independence Declaration of Independence , and if we crossed him, we would be working for Queen Victoria's Victoria of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia relatives again whose George's maternal grandfather Jay Coogan worked for as an Irish Honor Guard.  Thus from my perspective, most of the British I have ever met are very thin, so they do not eat much food.  Whatever the real story, the Bush-Harriman-Rockefeller connection does not seem to be worth much around here, unless you have a Masters of Business Administration degree from an Ivy League college, and a few good lawyers to back it up.  Since George enjoys shoveling out the stables on weekends, you better be prepared to sling a little bit of horse shit.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 2:35 A.M.  I saw a half size truck in Port Chester, New York around 5 P.M. this past evening, and it was one of these Con-way: , so maybe they were able to deliver some needed supplies from the Midwest back east.  But by the time all of the Mexicans eat the food in Port Chester, New York, there does not seem to be any cheap food left for the natives in Greenwich, Connecticut anymore.  However, London Broil top round of beef is suppose to be on sale at the Stop and Shop starting today at 7 A.M. for $1.79 a pound, 3 pound minimum.  There will probably be a riot of big fat women rushing the meat counter at opening if they have gasoline.  Any local who has lived here a long time, know once one gets off Greenwich Avenue, there are a lot of big fat women in back country that one does not see downtown much with all of the trophy wives.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 1:05 A.M.  I chatted with the Key West Hotel Resorts & Florida Keys Beach Accommodations - Casa Marina Resort Key West about the current weather outlook up north for this coming winter.  They seem to be busy down there.  Basically, I have a large network up an down the East Coast of America, and I even have a neighbor from Nova Scotia, if you feel like going further north.  I even have Norwegian contacts too.  If you have the Big Bucks to travel, you could trying spending some summer time at Balmoral Castle and Estate, online shop, gift shop, holiday cottages, fishing, scotland .  They have Holiday cottages there for rent at Balmoral Castle and Estate, online shop, gift shop, holiday cottages, fishing, scotland Holiday Cottages for Let.  However, I usually make it as far north for short visits with family at:

Kennebunkport, Maine, Scott's Internet Hotlist

Kennebunkport, Maine

The Colony Hotel The Colony Hotel - Kennebunkport, Maine and Delray Beach, Florida even employs people there from Jamaica, if you are traveling without funds from further down south.  However, you might need a sweater of wind breaker in the evening hours.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/20/08 Friday 12:35 A.M.  I chatted with a relative.  As far as I can tell, my computers were not tampered with when I went out today.  However, when I tried the primary two line Panasonic line phone, the speaker phone was turned on, which would indicate to me that someone gained entrance to the apartment while I was out.  The motion detection camera on the FIC server showed no sign of intrusion though.  Thus going through a logical progression of advents over time, it would seem that somebody needs to gain admittance to my apartment on a weekly basis to maintain some sort of equipment like a surveillance camera or wire tap by replacing its battery.  Thus they are probably able to temporarily disable the motion detection camera through the internet.  More than likely it has been going on for a long period of time.  I chatted with a few local security officials about the fact, and I left a message with another associate.  From what I know the only local private group with a large group of surveillance people in this area is www.hughes.com , and from what I know in the old days Howard Hughes tapped everyone.  It could be some sort of third world government with mixed up priorities.  I also gave a summary to Microsoft. 

I found this link: Canadian Embassy and Consulates in the United States - Contact Canadian Embassy and Consulates in the United States , and they gave me this emergency telephone number in Ottawa, Canada 1-613-996-8885, which will accept a collect call, and they were available, when I just called.

The contact page for this web site does not work Royal Canadian Mounted Police - Gendarmerie royale du Canada .

This page did not work a half hour ago, and it now works Embassy Washington / Ambassade du Canada à Washington .

Frequently when the children start to get out of school, the internet slows down with all of the extra web traffic, and also internet hacking increases with the children causing more mischief than usual.  More than likely my Verizon telephone line is also tapped too.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/19/08 Thursday 9:30 P.M.   I ate the same baloney and cheese sandwich as last night with the last of the potato salad and a glass of iced tea.  I checked the mileage to the Port Chester, New York A&P shopping center, and it is 4.5 miles round trip from Vinci Drive and Western Junior High drive if one takes the back road just west of the main street in Port Chester, New York to U.S. 1.  However, most of my activity revolves around downtown Greenwich, Connecticut which is 7.5 miles round trip to and from the Senior and the Arts Center to my apartment building.

If you look at Global Volcanism Program | Volcanic Activity Reports | SI / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report | , there has been volcanic activity in Russia  or possibly Guatemala that could have possibly caused our recent cooler weather for this time of year, and let us hope not a colder coming winter with increased energy prices.

Note: <888> 06/17/08 Tuesday 10:45 P.M.  I woke up at 5 P.M. this afternoon.  I had a telephone call from www.sun.com in Sacramento, California trying to sell me an advanced server.  I had to decline.   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I threw out the garbage.  I moved my Audi to its usual parking place.  I did not feel inspired to walk around the building.  I picked up my mail.  I read the last issue of www.forbes.com and the last two issues of U.S. News and World Report.  I tested the two Logitech Freedom Headsets which seemed fully charged with their new batteries, but switching them around and testing their audio connection ports with another headset, and also testing them with another headset, and from what I can tell, although they are fully charged, neither of them works.  I removed their two new batteries, and I stored them in their packaging on the battery shelf on the side board in the bedroom.  I stored the Logitech Freedom headsets underneath the bed on the right side with the other headsets.  I ate 1.5 bowls of low fat Cheez-Its.  I will now go through my email.  From what I can tell with the national and local economic conditions in sharp decline not much is really going on around here, except a few younger people have a bit of spare time to hang out downtown.  I was told last night by one local prosperous business man, he was pulling up stakes in this community and moving to greener pastures in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, so maybe there are some old guard types up there whom manage to hang on to some money.  CIO
