Note:<888>6/21/99 Monday 10:00 P.M. EDT: I had dinner about 5:30 P.M. of broiled boneless steak, steamed corn on the cob, steamed brocolli, ice and coffee. I ran Disk Doctor, and did a C:D: drives to E: drive backup and E: drive to C: drive backup. I ran Norton Speed Disk on all drives. I chatted with a family member. I have been watching a Channel 10 broadcast on the Colorado Rockies Orient Express train ride which is most interesting and visual. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . I am just about to start a complete tape backup of the entire system. Well have a good night. CIO

Note:<888>6/21/99 Monday 3:00 P.M. EDT: I removed the music files from my internet server, since the server is so busy; I can't get any internet work done through the cable modem. Also I feel my directory and its contents are important along with the other pages of content, so hopefully more people will be able to access them without running the 250 streams of music all the time, so back to a faster directory for my local site and no music for now. CIO

Note:<888>6/21/99 Monday 2:00 P.M. EDT: After the movie last night, I went to bed about 2 A.M.. I had a phone call at 8 A.M. this morning, and I went back to bed until 11 A.M.. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I updated promo2.htm , promo1.htm , and ibmlvg98.htm . CIO

Note:<888>6/20/99 Sunday 10:15 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I parked in the center of town and walked down by the waterfront and chatted with a few locals and observed the fishermen. I returned to the center of town and chatted with another local. I drank a diet Coke and since it was a a quiet night I came home. I will probably watch "A Chef in Love" video. Well not much unusual to report. CIO

Note:<888>6/20/99 Sunday 6:30 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I stopped by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and they did not have the Dutch Treat lights, I drove over to Old Greenwich, and they did not have them at CVS there. I stopped by Tod's Point, and I walked a short distance. It was quite busy out at the picnic area. I stopped by Radio Shack at the Riverside shopping plaza, and they did not have frosted candle bulbs. I will have to go to the fashion light center for frosted candle light bulbs on Monday. I went by CVS at Riverside shopping plaza and bought Hav-A-Tampa sweet cigar cigarettes for $12.19 plus .72 Ct. sales tax for $12.92 total. I returned to the center of town and drove down Greenwich Avenue and viewed the harbor. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a dozen jumbo eggs for $1.69, a pound of Icelandic smoked salmon for $9.99, a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69, a head of brocolli for $1.50, and a 8 oz. container of GU onion chive cream cheese. I returned home and had a Citra soda in a chilled mug. I started watching the History Channel about Niagara Falls. I made two sandwiches with mayonaise one side, three slices of smoked salmon on each, and then spread the cream cheese on the other side of the Healthnut bread, along with two quartered dill pickles. I had the sandwiches with ice tea. I watched a bit more of the History Channel, and I then filed this report. I might go out in a little while. Have an enjoyable evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/20/99 Sunday 2:30 P.M. EDT: After breakfast I cleaned the apartment and watered the plants. I cleaned up, and now I will go out to enjoy the afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>6/20/99 Sunday 11:30 A.M. EDT: I was up until 3 A.M. this morning. I watched the "English Patient" video. I had a phone call at 9 A.M. this morning from a family member. I will have breakfast and then do house cleaning. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>6/19/99 Saturday 8:20 P.M. EDT: I was up at 10:30 A.M. this morning. I watched the Royal Wedding at 11 A.M. on Channel 33 "The Learning Channel". After the event, I went back to bed until 7:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, five strips of bacon, two slices of toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I am listening to a bit of old Broadway music and relaxing. I suppose I should clean up and go out, either that or think of doing house cleaning, which I guess can wait until tomorrow. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/19/99 Saturday 4:35 A.M. EDT: After the last message, I went out and drove over to CVS at the Riverside Shopping Plaza. I chatted with some of the staff. I bought two packs of Dutch Master cigar cigarette lights for $3.18 both, CVS Spectrasite Vitamins $6.99, Gold Emblem cashews $2.69 plus .19 Ct. tax for $13.05 total. I returned to the center of town and viewed one fisherman on the wharf down by the water, one couple making out, and one former resident taking a nap. I returned home, and all the fire doors in my building were closed, since the power had blinked off for a short spell around 1:30 A.M.. I restarted the computer and server. I reset the answering machine, and other clocks. I relaxed a bit, and posted this note. There does not seem to be any television on the Edward Sophie wedding, so perhaps it is later today, although they are five hours ahead, I believe. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/19/99 Saturday 1:25 A.M. EDT: I had dinner of broiled sirloin steak with Worstershire sauce, steamed corn on the cob, steamed frozen peas, ice tea. After dinner I went out with my thermos and I drank my coffee downtown. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a former neighbor and offered a ride to the grocery store and then dropped the former neighbor at home. I returned downtown and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and I chatted with a couple of locals. One local Chinese student caught a 31 inch Striped Bass. I told him he could probably sell it to a Japanese restaurant for $80, but I think he wants to keep it to take home. I returned home, and I am just finishing up making a batch of icetea.htm . I finished encoding Index of /music4/South Pacific for your listening pleasure. Well I might go out again, so have a pleasent morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/18/99 Friday 7:15 P.M. EDT: Well I went to bed about midnight last night. I was up at 7 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I had a tired spell, so I went to bed until 2 P.M.. I got up and restarted the server. I am maxing out at 250 streams. I had lunch of Ramen noodles and a peanut butter sandwich along with ice tea. I went out and stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I then went by the Hospital Thrift shop. They have a brass tray with pineapples marked either .50 or $50, and I am not sure what the price was and they did not know, so I did not buy any. The Hospital Thrift shop is very erratic in their pricing, and they should have someone in there that knows real prices, instead of what the Market Will Bear. Next I went down to the Post Office and I paid my Cablevision, Optimum Online, and Telephone bills. I said good day to a local priest. I then drove down and viewed the waterfront, but as usual this time of year, it was overflowing with people out from New York hanging out for hoodwinking and mischief. I suppose there is nothing the Greenwich Police can do about it, which is why a great many real estate people advise that it is not a desirable neighborhood for those whom enjoy privacy. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local newspaper. If one wants to read and abbreviated version of the Greenwich Times Greenwich Time Online | Welcome , it is available on the net. However since Greenwich tends to be a private community, you really fine information on community events and general activity. Most private residents of the town, would prefer not to be in the local news so as to avoid attention in their private lifes. Moreover, like most news organizations the Greenwich Times is on a very limited budget, so there is not the general ability to investigate, they simply report general public relation had outs. I suppose quite a few residents don't even live here in the summer, and simply prefer to hide out in places like Nantucket, Bermuda, the Canadian Rockies, Nova Scotia, Maine, Iceland, Scotland, and other northern hideaways where the life is less hectic, and it is cooler during the summer. Basically New England Yankees have been migrating to the north country for close to a century or more since the railroads and automobiles made travel easier. However some people have to work in the summer, so they frequently wait until the cold winter weather to travel down south to the warmer regions. I guess I might have one of those shell steaks for dinner this evening to build up my protein level. I was thinking if U.S. Tabacco moves out of their present building across from the Greenwich Library, Exxon could put in a Sales, Marketing, and Advertising office there. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/17/99 Thursday 8:50 P.M. EDT: All right here is the latest low down from this backwater swamp they call Greenwich, Connecticut. I went out after the last message. I next went downtown and walked around a bit, and I chatted with an employee of the "Board of Education". I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I then went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. They were most cordial there, and I opened up a sailors purse thinking it was a camera bag which was very distressing to him. I explained to him about sea novels I used to read out of the Decatur, Alabama "Andrew Carnegie" library and I never found many like them once I moved near the ocean. I also told him about the herb garden in Key West which use to have several hundred gallon mason jars full of various medicinal herbs, berries, roots, extracts from the Islands, Latin America, South America, and Appalacian Mountains that the locals used instead of modern medicine. I told him that during the Carter Administration when the Georgians were pushing peanuts, I actually enjoyed eating "Sessamie Seed Butter, Oranges, Cuban bread which has lard, and well water from the water fountains in places like the Key West Police department that had "Well Water" like Ernest Hemingway's House as oppose to brackish water that was pumped down from Miami. Of course I believe in Nantucket they have Pond Water. After chatting in the thrift shop, I headed down Greenwich Avenue and chatted with the waterfront fishermen and retired sea gull watchers. I then headed to the Greenwich Library and I chatted with some visitors I have seen before about various people I know involved in the Chinese Tourism business. I suggested to the staff at the library and a patron at the Thrift shop that they might look into Williamsburg, Virginia craft works for Wedding gifts for Prince Edward and his bride Sophie. Or perhaps they could have the children make up some sort of craft items. I checked out a "Chef in Love" video which the Chinese visitor from Brazil suggested to me. I then headed over to the Grand Union and bought two Plumrose Bacons for $1.50 each, two boneless Shell steaks at $4.99 a pound for $8.98 and four ears of yellow corn for .67 for $12.65 total. I told the butcher some jokes about the meat and steak house business. I returned home and relaxed. I had a Stauffers 20 oz. frozen lasagna for dinner along with ice tea. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . I noticed that it was a bit overcast, and I worry if a slow moving hurricane passes nearby, there might be lots of rain even if there is not much wind. I finally figured out that certain people are drawing people into the community whom don't seem to know why they came here, but they seem to get use to it, since perhaps they have no where else to go on the international travel circuit. Well have a good day, and give my best to anyone whom did not see me roaming around as usual today. CIO

Note:<888>6/17/99 Thursday 12:15 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 9 A.M.. I have a splitting headache. I had breakfast of three large eggs, five strips of bacon, toast, orange juice, and coffee. I suppose not much is going on outside. I am advised diverse people are visiting the area for various graduation exercises. I have a 3 P.M. appointment. Not much is going on, but I chatted with a few people about my viewpoint of the area, so from now I can only say, "With Friends Like This, Who Needs Enemies". Well have a good day, and enjoy Greenwich for what it is, not what it could be, since the locals once they get off work, would just as soon do us in, as have us live here. All I can think about is hiring about 50,000 Canadians from Toronto; and sending the rest of this group packing. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>6/17/99 Thursday 3:45 A.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, just after midnight. I drove back down to Steamboat Road and four college kids where "Sound Gazing" on the overcast damp night. One local retired individual was relaxing in his car enjoying the fresh evening ocean air which helps his emphasyma, and of course he use to do the same in Nantucket. I suppose former cigarette smokers like to get a little fresh ocean air, and since recently I have been smoking little cigar cigarettes, I might end up in the same boat some day, unless I quit smoking which would probably totally screw up my timing and my normal routine. So to use the old sea horse expresssion, "You're Dammed If You Do, and You're Dammed If You Don't". Well so much for the devine comedy out of our neck of the woods. I suppose nobody has any quick solutions, but I have a feeling with the cooler weather and any after effects we might get from the storm off Bermuda, we're not going to have too much decent weather for a while. However, I did notice the baraometer is high as it evers goes, so it is a high pressure system keeping the storm off shore and pushing it further north. Still the reported 50 mile an hour winds might not be too bad, but as any storm watcher would tell you a slow moving hurricane can still carry a lot of rain, which can make for hazzardous conditions. As far as I can tell, since I did not work on the internet this morning, but sat around dicatating fish stories, there is not much going on, just the same sleepy quiet peaceful town with a few more residents back visiting home. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/16/99 Wednesday 11:35 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I drove down by the waterfront. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. They have two parsons lamps without shades or harps a white microwave hutch and other nick nacks. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read three computer newsweeklies. I checked out the English Patient videotape. I drove back down by the harbor at 5 P.M.. I stood out until 8 P.M., and I chatted with some locals. I noticed a few nats out this past evening. I returned home and relaxed and I had a bowl of fruit and Ramen noodles for dinner along with ice tea. Well I guess there is not too much to report on. The Greenwich Times said that George Schultz was involved in a $3 billion dollar embessalment from the defunct Virgin Islands Shell corporation St. Francis of Assis Fund which was some sort of fraud by fake priests and con artists. They also said that the George W. Bush fund raiser raised $1.4 million dollars at the Hyatt. They showed Governor Rowland of Connecticut standing next to George W. Bush, and the Greenwich Time photo looked like one of those pictures stunts where they use a card board cut out of Bush like, like they do with the card board cut out photo of Clinton. Thus nobody knows what the real story is other than there was a lot of air traffic yesterday, but it could have been the same private jet taking off and landing over and over. My basis assumption is that something is rotten in Denmark, but since I have no control over events, it is none of my concern. Well the kids seem to be getting out of school, so there are more young faces floating around town. I suggested to one of the library staff that the local high school or another group should post summer job notices on the internet, so that the local youth will know what is available. Well have a good evening, and don't take any wooden nickles. Scott's Index was up a bit today scopor01.htm . CIO

Note:<888>6/16/99 Wednesday 12:40 P.M. EDT: After I finished my laundry, I got a tired spell; and I went back to bed from 7:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M.. I did a litte bit of my regular computer work. I tried downloading and installing the Microsoft Personal Server, but it can't handle the same load as Apache; so I uninstalled it. I am fixing a Tony's pizza for lunch; and just having a quiet day at home. I don't know if I feel like going out yet. I guess I could go out and people watch later on this afternoon. Not really much to report on. CIO

Note:<888>6/16/99 Wednesday 5:55 A.M. EDT: I was up at 4:30 A.M.. I started my laundry, I am on the dry cycle right now. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I will reboot the computer and restart the server shortly. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/99 Tuesday 7:25 P.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message. I parked down on the end of Steamboat Road and chatted with some of the local wharf rats and other people from the area. There were lots a few fisherman out. One fisherman caught a fifteen pound striper. Not really much happen. I heard about the earthquake in Mexico City, so I came back and watched the ABC news. Well I am a little bit tired, so I think I should start slowing down for the day. Have a good evening. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . CIO

Note:<888>6/15/99 Tuesday 3:25 P.M. EDT: I chatted with a family member this morning. I sorted through some of my summer clothing, I had on the inside of the closets. I went out at noon. I stopped by the Arnold Bread store and bought three loaves of Healthnut bread for $3.49 total. I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I chatted with a local legal representative. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and parked at the board of education parking lot. I found a meter with two hours on it, and I added a quarter for another two hours. I quickly noticed that since I had warn boat shoes my feet were killing me. I walked down to the Mews Thrift shop, and they have quite a lot of merchandise there. I bought the 24 Volumne 1958 Encylopedia Britannica set along with the 1959 to 1962 updates for $10.60 total. They came in three milk crates. I walked back up to car and drove the car down to pick up the books. I put them in the car, and I returned home and carried up each of the three crates of books upstairs and I put away bread. I shelved the Encylopedias on the lower two shelves of the bookcase outside the bathroom. I put the books from those shelves behind the television in the bedroom. This took a while, and I just finished it all. I noticed that the Encylopedias were dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II and President Dwight David Eisenhower. Well it was a little warm doing all this, and I guess I might either go to bed or take a nap. It was quite busy downtown as usual, and I noticed quite a few personal jets flying into the local airport as I was driving around. I believe the George W. Bush fund raiser is suppose to have about a 1,000 people at a $1,000 a head; so I would imagine quite a few republican supporters are visitiing the area. I don't think Presidential candidates get Secret Service protection until after they have won a primary, but since Governor W. Bush is the governor of Texas it is traditional that the State Police would monitor the event along with the local police. I suppose since the Governor of Texas is also the Head of the Texas Rangers, the Connecticut representative of the Texas rangers would also be present, since I believe there is at least one Texas ranger in each state of the Nation. I am sure it will be an enjoyable event and the republican faithful will turn out in full force. I have not read the local paper, but there is only one place in town that I know of that can accommadate a thousand people comfortably. Well I am tired, so I guess I will either take a nap or sleep until early morning. Have a good afternoon and evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/99 Tuesday 9:40 A.M. EDT: After the last message, I went out at sun rise. I fixed the drivers side window on my Volvo which was out of alignment by taking off the door panel, and loosening the crank mechanism bolts and repositioning the window and tightening the bolts, so it slides up and down evenly now. I then washed the car and cleaned the White Walls with a SOS pad. I dried the car, and then I waxed the car in the shade with NAPA auto polish. I keep my car wax inside, so it does not freeze in the car in the winter. After waxing the car, I cleaned the Vinal with NAPA vinal protector, and I then cleaned the windows on the ouside and inside with Windex glass cleaner. Since I vacuumed the car yesterday, I now have it all presentable for my summer driving pleasure. I came inside after finishing about 9 A.M., and I had Ramen noodles, chicken salad, and ice tea for lunch along with a chilled Citra soda. I might rest briefly or clean up and go out in a little while, I will have to see how I feel. It is a very nice day with lots of Jet traffic flyinng in and out of the airport nearby, so I guess it will be a busy day downtown. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/99 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. EDT: Well I was up at 2:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I am doing a litte bit of regular internet work. I rebooted and restarted the server which I try to do once a day. The Apache server as far as I can tell has a maximum of 250 streams. Well have a good morning, I might rest a little bit more later on. CIO
