Note:<888>7/07/99 Wednesday 7:00 P.M. EDT: Well I went out at 2:30 P.M., and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I then went to RadioShack in Cos Cob and bought the 7 Channel Weatheradio with Severe Weather Alert with 15 presets NWR-Same Operation 12-249 on sale for $59.97 from $79.97 plus a Lithium 9 Volt Battery for $6.99 for backup plus tax of $4.02 for $70.98 total. I returned home, and I am setting it up on Channel 7 162.550 mhz (I believe NOAA Rockefeller Antenna) for mutiple channels, first channel 99 for fifty mile radius, 2 Westchester Country, New York (036119), 3 Fairfield County, Connnecticut (009001), 4 New York country, New York (036061), 5 Rockland Country, New York (036087), 6 Nassau County, New York (036059), 7, Bexar County, Texas (048029), 8 Indian River Country, Florida (012061), 9 Suffolk County, New York (036103), 10 New Haven County, Connecticut (009009), 11 York County, Maine (023031), 12 Houston County, Texas (048225), 13 Nantucket County, Massachussetts (025019), 14 Monroe County, Florida (012087), 15 Martin County, Florida (012085) . The National Weather Service Number for the preset codes is 1-888-697-7263. Well it says on the NOAA Weather Radio Rockefeller Center Transmitter the routine weekly test is 11 A.M. to Noon on Wednesday. The broadcast comes in fine, but I have to wait for the routine weekly test to see, if the Alert function is pulling in the signal. For listening to the regular NOAA weather radio broadcasts in this area try wxradio . Well I am hungry, so I will have a bite to eat. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>7/07/99 Wednesday 1:35 P.M. EDT: Well Dolphin Chat is over. I viewed the apartment next doors to mine, it is a light cheery apartment; and I had never seen it before. I use to worry about disturbing my neighbor playing music, and I found out the only common walk is with the entrance hallway and the bathroom, in other words; I doubt if she could have ever heard the music. Well I like my apartment, so I don't think I will try to move next door since I don't feel like moving all the junk in my apartment, just so I can have window with view. Well have a pleasent afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>7/07/99 Wednesday 12:20 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 9 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I relaxed a bit, it is a bit cooler today. I 86ed the IBM and Microsoft ad links from the tops of my homepages since no one ever looks at them. I suspose I will relax and do a little computer work this afternoon. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>7/07/99 Wednesday 1:40 A.M. EDT:Well I think it is time to sort out the House, and start putting the House back in order. That is all for a while. CIO
Note:<888>7/06/99 Tuesday 9:45 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message after cleaning up and having breakfast. I returned the videotapes and CDs to the Greenwich Library. I stayed at the library until closing at 9 P.M.. They told me that quite a few residents were using the library today to stay cool and it is most cool and refreshing inside the new library. One resident suggest they keep the library open later, so people could stay cool. They aparently had a shortage of seating today, since so many people were trying to use it. This evening it was moderately busy. I chatted with one resident whom had finished building a house on Block Island. I told him Fishers Island is a little bit more private. I also mentioned a few items about Nantucket. He told me that they found a carpenter on the island had been living secretly in a cave on the island in the hidden forest for the last five years. I suggested that he might have had errogot poisoning from the cranberry bogs when they are dry which is a common problem in Massachussetts, and as usual I suggested people with that problem should take Niacimide which is the common generic remedy. I read three computer newsweeklies and two computer magazines. Not much seems to be going on in the computer field, I guess a lot of people are spending their technology profits on longer vacations. Well it is 92 degrees F. outside and 80 degrees F. inside. I believe the heat spell is suppose to end on Thursday. One has to remember when one goes further north away from the ocean it only gets hotter since away from the ocean the heat builds up. The hottest I ever was in New England was in Hanover, New Hampshire while visiting around August 1978 on my way up to Montreal. After traveling into Montreal across to Toronto, I eventually spent the night in the parking lot of York University outside of Toronto, and a bag pipper woke me up practicing his bag pipes in the morning since they had the Victoria Exhibition going on at the time there. Well needless to say I did not have enough money to attend the Victoria Exhibition, but I did see quite a few automobile factories and heavy industries along Lake Erie before heading back down into the States. Well it seems pretty quiet. I have noticed quite a few insects in the area that one normally does not regularly see. Well I will do a little computer work this evening. I don't know if I will bother going out or not. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>7/06/99 Tuesday 4:50 P.M. EDT: Well I am finally up. I will have breakfast of three fried eggs, five strips of bacon, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee shortly. I chatted with a family member this morning, and they said that they had read that Ross Perot is thinking of running Lowell Weicker for President. I wonder if Lowell knows. Well have a cool afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>7/06/99 Tuesday 9:10 A.M. EDT: Well I went back out after the last message. I drove down by the waterfront and chatted with some of the early morning fishermen. They were pulling in the blue fish this morning. I advised them of Flossie's old recipie in Nantucket for cooking blue fish. Baked on fileted and scaled blue fish filet in aluminum foil at 350 degrees Farenheit for about 30 minutes and stuff or coat the blue fish with Hellmans mayonaise and fresh dill. The mayonaise helps take out some of the oils and the dill hads flavor. I noticed a tall man came down to fish about 7 A.M., and one of the last tow trucks left. I noticed the electric company down there, so hopefully they will get the power problem fixed in the 700 block. I drank a Nestea Ice Tea and had some Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers for a snack while down there. I call the Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers sea biskets. I next returned to the center of town. I have not been bothering to lock the car and I have been leaving the windows open downtown. I walked down Greenwich Avenue and gave on the morning regulars a quick briefing. I stopped by the Greenwich Train station and noticed the normal morning crowd headed off to work. I stopped on the opposite platform and chatted with a visitor from Green Farms, Connecticut and gave him a quick run down on the town situation. I noticed there were about a thousand people lined up for the train, since it was an hour late, and did not get there until about 8 A.M.. I guess they were all a little hot standing on the platform. If one wants to observe the morning commuter group going into Manhattan you get a good view of the legion of office workers from the New Haven bound side of the platform. I returned to central Greenwich about 8 A.M., and I returned home and had a glass of ice tea and then filed this report. I guess the normal business community is back to work, so have an enjoyable day, and try to stay cool. I suggested to one tanned commuter going into Manhattan that if I were them I would open the Bethesda Fountain Cafe in Central Park and sit there and observe the visitors in the City. I also forgot to mention the family got into the railroad business because they were cleaver at ship building and were in the shipping business running molassis and rum from the West Indies back up the east coast of the United States and back to Europe. Whatever brought us here in the first place never made the history books, but I hear tell we were "horse thieves" back in Scotland and had to get out of the country in a hurry and we caught the first boat which happened to be coming here. Well have a good day, and remember to be hospitable to our visitors. CIO
Note:<888>7/06/99 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. EDT: Well I went back out about 1 A.M.. I made a peanut butter sandwich before going out and took along three cans of Nestea Ice Tea with me. I also put in four 12 packs of diet Sprite, Citra, Nestea, and Diet Coke in the refrigerator to have in reserve for these hot days. I sat out downtown in front of the senior center and had a peanut butter sandwich and Nestea. I left two cans of Nestea on the veterans monument in case any hot veterans walk by whom are thirsty. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and walked by the train station. The railing on the east bound steps on the east end are all rusted away along with a good deal of the masonry creating a pedestrian hazzard for the commuters. I walked over to the Greenwich Taxi stand and they are now driving Ford Crown Victorias. I tried to interest them in General Motors products, but I am not sure if GM makes any taxi models anymore. I told them a few taxi jokes about driving taxis in Lake Forest, Illinois for two years while in college. I told them in Lake Forest, Illinois all taxi drivers had to be fingerprinted by the FBI. I also told them that one rather heavy lady that weighed about 600 pounds use to be the dispatcher and she would handle any trouble calls. I also told them since during that period it did not snow much in Illinois, they use to use me as the snow and ice driver during blizzards for runs down to O'hare airport from Lake Forest. I also told them about Hurley Haywood at Brumos Porche in Jacksonville, Florida running a executive protection driver training service, which he was good at since he won Daytona over a half dozen times. We commiserated that GM no longer makes Cadillac limosines, and they said Rudy's Limosine service could no longer get them. I told them the story about going into our local Cadillac dealer and asking to see the new Cadillacs and instead they showed me Oldsmobiles and gave me Oldsmobile literature, which seemed peculiar. I mentioned that some families who once controlled the railroads branched off into oil and steel and then got into the automobile business and probably are into minerals, lumber, coal, timber, gravel, and other not so profitable industries anymore. I told them that when I drove a taxi in Chicago after returning from Europe during the first 18 hours shift after two days of training, my first passenger at O'Hare airport looked like Prince Phillip and I took him to the Drake Hotel and gave him the grand tour down Michigan Boulevard. I believe my next passenger was a bag lady moving about 50 bags of personal belongings out of her apartment near Clark street, and the following passenger was a hippie smoking marijuna which distracted me and I ended up driving up Clark Street the wrong way, and I believe I got a ticket. By the end of that shift, I heard the news that E. Howard Hunt's wife had been on the jet that crashed in the south side of Chicago and she was carrying suitcases of $100 bills. I figured I was not cut out for taxi driving, so I believe I headed back east. I also told them that during the oil embargo, during the early 70s, the only places to get gasoline was the Exxon station at the Round Hill store, the Darian rest area, the Hess station on the west side of Manhattan that serviced taxi cabs, the Mobil station next to Rockefeller University, and the Shell station down around Prince Street in SoHo. Thus I told them I learned to walk a lot and am still walking. I have also mentioned recently that during the oil embargo, the steam generation plant south of the United Nations use to have plenty of energy since the underground tunnel through Penn Station carries coal cars to feed the steam plant, and most of the buildings in midtown manhattan were powered with steam from that particular facility across the street from the old East Side Airline terminal, which is where I last stayed for a week before coming back out to Greenwich fifteen and a half years ago after coming down from Canada, off of Nantucket with Jackie, visiting Florida during the Grenada invasion, and leaving Nantucket originally at the end of the season. Having only gone to Manhattan once in the last nine years, I am not sure it is all still there, but I believe the east side airline terminal was replaced and along with it Wolf Peugot and they no longer sell Peugots in the United States. After chatting with the taxi men, I walked back up Greenwich Avenue just as the train came in. Two skinny young gals were coming out from the city. I told them to watch out for brown outs today. I sat at the Post Office plaza, and then I walked up to the top of Greenwich Avenue and sat out there for a while. I noticed quite a bit of traffic. I returned back down the Avenue and I found a roll of toilet paper for a giant I suppose about 12 inches in diameter and 12 inches wide. I guess they sell that for big people some place else quite a novelty I had never seen. I put it in the car. I also noticed that Banana Republic has moved up to the top of Greenwich Avenue around 2 East Putnam Avenue. I sat for a while again. About 2:30 A.M. I drove down to Steamboat and the lights were still out at the Barney and Jenkins buildings on the waterfront. I noticed that there were three highway wreckers or tow trucks parked down there, and the tow drivers were chatting with the fishermen. I chatted with one temporary resident of Barney and Jenkins and I chatted with a Italian fisherman about Italy in the winter of 1972 when there was a coal strike in England and southern Europe and the Mediterranian was full of English trying to escape the cold. It was also a cold winter that year, and one day in February 1972 we skiied at Carrerra north of Pisa where the Italian marble comes from, and they had two feet of fresh powder that day. I also skiied off about a 200 foot clift at the end of the run which had a sharp bend to the right, which one could not see during a blizzard and landed on a road in a snow plow blade full of snow which broke my fall. When I finally made it down the run, my ski companions were wondering what happened to me and when I told them the story, they were not sure what to make of it. I had a brandy and relaxed by the fire place in the warm and comfortable lodge, and I never bother skiing again although I have dealt with a lot of cold weather. Well after returning from Steamboat Road, I had diet Sprite and filed this report. Well some times the truth is stranger than fantacy. Have a good morning and watch out for brown outs. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 11:55 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message after taking a cool shower instead of warm water. I parked in the center of town. One local stroller told me that they just had had a modern twin rotor helicopter land behind the town hall to medivac a patient to Greenwich Hospital. It must have been a obstretics case, because that is the only reason I can think of medivacing someone to Greenwich Hospital since it does not have a triage unit. Greenwich Hospital does have air conditioning, so perhaps someone in Nantucket at the Cottage Hospital was too hot and were medivaced off the island. I walked down by the water. On the way down I chatted with a Hispanic mother and daughter whom use to live in Greenwich and they were very enthusiastic about the George W. Bush campaign coming from Texas now. I gave them some ponters about walking around in the New York area. I noticed one of our local Greenwich Times reporters heading off to work. I walked by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and there were about fifty people on the patio having drinks and dinner. I noticed the Sea Falcon had departed port. I walked on down by the waterfront and noticed a few residents of 700, 702, and 704 Steamboat Road were walking around. Apparently the power had gone off there, and they were not able to get anyone at the electric company and the landlords were on the harbor for a cruise. I walked on down by the harbor and talked with some of the locals. There were a few fireworks from Bayville, Long Island across the way, possibly Oyster Bay, Long Island. We all agreed that people in Oyster Bay never know what day it is anyway and are usually a day late and completely out of touch with the times, with their old world manners. I noticed a few fishermen trying to fish at low tide. They were only getting Bunker. Quite a few youth were out listening to music. I returned back up the road. I stopped by the desk at the Greenwich Harbor Inn. They no longer have the Coca Cola machine down by their entrance. The desk clerk told me quite a few locals had checked in to stay cool. I returned up town, and I chatted with a couple of Canadian fellows about computers, physics and tech. I mentioned that I was like McGiver, I know how to get certain activities done properly, but it would cost a lot of money to bring in highly skilled professionals whom know how to build more modern facilities, and the town was basically cheap. The street light was blinking on and off constantly while I was talking to them probably because the sensor was maladjusted. I suggest a bird might have crapped on the sensor. They were driving a shinny bright red Mitsubishi sports car. I chatted wth them for quite a bit about other Canadian activities in the area, and they suggested that I should try driving my old Volvo up to Canada. I explained to them if I went up to Canada, someone else would have to come down here whom might not like the heat and on a year round basis Greenwich has a moderate climate in the winter being near the water. Since one of the fellows had arthritis he understood. I had a drink of water from the water fountain in the park, and I sat out for a while. There were lots of skinny young high school and college kids out walking around whom did not seem to mind the heat. I guess when one is thin like I use to be until age 33, one does not notice the heat as much. I returned home and had a Citra soda in a chilled mug along with some ice tea. It is 82 degrees F. in the apartment and 86 degrees F. outside, but it is not as humid inside. The heat wave is suppose to continue until Thursday, so get use to it. County Appliances over on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut near the Ridgeway Center might still have large heavy duty Frederich air conditioners depending on the amount of voltage your dwelling can handle. Also with a few people trying to go back to work tomorrow and trying to cool the office buildings, I advise that as many people as possible stay home on Tuesday tommorow to avoid overuse of electricity and possibly causing brown outs in the area. Well have a good morning, stay cool if as all possible. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 7:35 P.M. EDT: After I put the coffee to chill in the refrigerator, I started making chicken salad. I stripped the rest of the meat off the Purdue oven roaster carcas. I diced it and put it all in mixing bowl, I then diced three medium Vidallia onions, and the rest of the can of small olives; and mixed it all together in the bowl. I added Italian Spices, oregano, basil, hot curry, Chinese five spice, pepperica, poultry seasoning, celery salt, ground pepper, and garlic powder and mixed it all together, I then added a six ounces of the salad dressing and mixed it all again, and I then added five large tablespoon scroops of Hellmans mayonaise that I keep chilled and mixed it all together and put it all in a rubbermaid container to chill in the refrigerator. Well the chicken salad mixture weighs four pounds without the container, so that should be about eight, eight ounce servings for the next number of days. Well it is still warm inside, so I will shower and clean up and get some fresh air. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 6:40 P.M. EDT: I laid out a bed of Boston lettuce on a large dinner plate, I added a half of sliced cucumber, a sliced plum tomatoe, two stalks of celery sliced into eight smaller stalks, four slices of white chicken meat sliced into slivers lengthwise, a half of diced vidallia onion, a thrid of a can of small pitted olives, and a kosher dill pickle sliced into quarters and put the salad dressing on this for a delicious chicken chef's salad for dinner with ice tea. I am now making a second pot of coffee along with the original eight cups of coffee for 16 cups of coffee in a container in the refrigerator for iced coffee once it chills along. Also I put ice in seperate containers and refilled the ice trays to have some extra fresh ice on hand. Well the temperature inside is still 84 degrees farenheit and outside the themomter in the sun has dropped down to 128 degrees farenheit, so it is beginning to cool off. Well have a good evening. I guess after I put the coffee in the refrigerator, I will start to clean up and shower. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 5:30 P.M. EDT: Well the apartment is up to 84 degrees Farenheit with the sun shining against the western exposure, and the air conditioner is still making noice trying to cool it off. I made some home made salad dressing. I took a white wine bottle with a half cup of white wine in it, I add dried Italian spices, basil, organo, quarter cup of parmesian cheese, ground pepper, hot curry, celery salt, and pepperica through a funnel and shook it all together, I put a quarter of cup of red vinager in a cup and mixed in three tablespoons of dijon mustard and mixed it together and poured it into the wine bottle, I added a few dashes of Lea and Perrins worchestire sauce, tabassco, and angostora bitters and shook it along with a sixth of cup of kosher dill pickle juice and shook that all in the bottle, and then I filled the rest of the bottle up with Bertolli Classico olive oil and put the cork in and shook it all to have a litre of home made salad dressing, and I then put the wine bottle with the salad dressing in the refrigerator to stay cool. Well not much else to report on. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 4:55 P.M. EDT: I receieved a flag from a vessle at the Greenwich Harbor Inn, and I responded to the flag just now. In the old days, to "Flag" was to send a message; and to "Tag" was to recieve a message, so when sending and recieving lots of communications quickly, one would say "Flag" and "Tag". I also remember when you're hot, in the pitcher of ice, beside pouring in draught beer, you're suppose to add a few sectioned limes. Port Chester Beer distributor just across the border in Port Chester wholesales beer along with kegs of draught beer and other mixers. I keep Red Cross emergency provisions in my apartment, but I have a limited stock of refreshments. Also the air conditioner is making so much noice, it sounds like one of those old DC-3 planes that Monsanto use to use to smuggle Scotch whisky down from Scotland in old days. Var Max liquor pantry just across the border in Port Chester has a wide assortment of European liquors and wines. Well evenyone knows I don't drink very much anymore, but I still keep track of where the critical supplies are located for entertainment and refreshment. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 3:45 P.M. EDT: Well in old days at the Greenwich Country Club when 1-203-869-1000 when we use to have hot weather in Greenwich and we were outside around the Club playing golf, we would fill a pitcher full of ice and pour draft beer in it, to have a cold weakened less alcoholic cooling beverage. I believe the Greenwich Country Club has air conditioning, but alas one has to be a member to use its facilities. Thus a cooler place inside out of the heat until 7 P.M. might be the Greenwich Hospital cafteria which should be cool enough. I would imagine the air condtioned library will be opened tomorrow as usual. I believe they are plenty cool. Other cool places in Greenwich might be to fill one's bathtub with cold water and to sit in it until the sun goes down. I suppose a few pubs and Starbucks are air condtioned. Well I guess nobody that knows me needs to stay cool in my 80 degree Farenheit apartment since nobody has called. I guess the swimming pool at Byram Beach might be cool too. Well I suspose you could go down into a basement and that would be cooler also. Other cool places in Greenwich if Starbucks is busy is the Coffee Tree up Greenwich Avenue run by friendly Columbians. I suspose one could browse any of our local grocery stores to their hearts content to stay cool for a while. Well you all know the heat does not really bother me, I know how to slow down to get use to it. I guess one could also sit in the air conditioned terminal at Westchester airport, if one could afford to park there. I would imagine one could have a cool drink at the Hyatt Hotel. Well other ideas for staying cool might be to sit in a lawn chair underneath a tree and leave a lawn sprinkler running, but watering the grass during the heat of the day can burn it out. I suppose a local cool spot downtown might the Diner, but theoretically one could go to the Greenwich Hospital and have a cup of ice tea, and enjoy the cafeteria. Well so much for hot weather reports, I guess I will shower and go out and face the heat shortly. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 3:20 P.M. EDT: As a point of reference on my western exporsure of my apartment on the black heat absorbing rain terrace, the thermometer outside my window in the sun has maxed out at 130 degrees Farenheit, but the 10 year old noisy Sears air conditioner is keeping the inside temperature at about 80 degrees Farenheit. I would dare say when people go back to work on Tuesday with extra energy consumption, we might have brown outs. We're suppose to be down to 88 degrees Farenheit on Wedensday. I guess when people like George W. Bush come north for campaigning he brings north the hot weather with him, thus he should try campaigning in New Hampshire in January when we could use a warm spell. Well I guess it is pretty warm outside right now. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 3:10 P.M. EDT: Well we also know several computer people whom keep disappearing in Greenwich also have knowledge of astrophysics, so that may be the connection. Thus if one looks at http://www.iac.es/home.html Astrophysics Institute in the Canary Islands , they may be all working there. I also know from searching the word "Lanzarote" on the CDROM database in the Greenwich Library that NASA maintains a "Ground Monitoring Station" in Lanzarote which is for tracking the space shuttle should it abort in Spain or Morrocco. Thus also three years ago, we had the name Escobar a common Spanish name surface on the Internet Phone program out of Grand Canary, so maybe this whole nonsense about illegal cocaine drug operation and money laundering has to do with a cover for scientific research in the Canary Islands. It is hard to sort out, since I don't speak Spanish, but we do know in the French speaking network, the Arian space program maintains space launch facilities in French Guiana, so maybe we're just seeing the tip of the iceburg on a number of cladstine operations where people keep covering their tracks and moving on, which was the motus operandi of the old Hughes network, which tends to prefer warmer weather during the winter. Well they are all probably all around in the area right now, so a bit of local investigation might yield results. More than likely individuals whom spend time in the warmer regions during the winter would be a bit more tan this time of year. Well who knows for sure. Also it is rumoured that NASA might have some of facility in Houston, Texas. Possibly we should arrest all individuals seen wearing NASA caps in the area until we get to the bottom of all of this. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 2:45 P.M. EDT:I slept until 1:30 P.M., and I got up and had fresh fruit salad and Ramen noodles. Of relavant or irrelavant facts we know on the Frankel case is that former Governor Weicker maintains a home near where Frankel lived. Former governor Weicker once told me he maintains a house in the Virgin Islands where the whole Frankel Insurnace Investment scandle originated. We also know Lowell Weicker is a well know assoicate of Senator Teddie Kennedy. Senator Teddie Kennedy is well known to be a pilot. I believe his current wife is from Mississippi where the Frankel investment scam swindled many smaller insurance companies. I also believe if one were looking for Frankel, one would have to remember the New York Times story about two months ago about the Bermudiana Hotel being torn down in Bermuda to make way for the third largest group of off shore insurance brokers. Since Frankel was involved in insurance, one might try looking for him around that Bermuda Insurance group. Moreover it would seem to make since for the FBI to suppena the flight arrival and departure records from Westchester airport during that period when Frankel disappeared. Other people whom have homes in Burmuda are Ross Perot and Nelson Rockefeller, so obviously anyone showing up in Bermuda would be noticed by other prominent residents of the island. Of course Teddie Kennedy is seen frequently in Nantucket when he is not in Hyannis, so I dare say if a group of analysts studied the Flight Records of these various destinations, it would seem to make sense that the arrivals and departures of other people at these same locations might begin to surface. Also since it is rumoured that Frankel is in Europe, we all know that Robert Maxwell of the McMillan publishing empire disappeared off his yacht in the Canary Islands. Theoretically someone like Frakel could hide out in Lanzerote which was also one of Howard Hughes hideouts and not be noticed. If one shaved one's head and beard and tanned darkly in a island like Lanzerote, one could easily blend into the southern hemisphere populations of darkly tanned people and would be hard to recognize. Thus of course with the Greenwich Times story, one first has to assume that it is all true, which frequently with the Greenwich Times is not the case. Thus if one were a private insurance investigator, one would first have to investigate the Frankel properties in Greenwich and determine if in fact the crime did occur. Next one would have to determine other facts like whom maintained Frankel's 30 odd computers. Since Frankel was using satellite communications one would have to analyse the computer logs as well as the satellite logs to see if there were any points of communications that he might have traveled to. Basically a cheap way to catch Frankel would be to put him on the cover of Time Magazine which is distributed in most airports around the world and see what comes back in the way of information. Thus anyone running computers in that neighborhood of Frankel or around the locations of various associates or neighbors would be subject to investigation, however since there are close to 200 million people on the internet, the project might get a little out of hand and be very costly. Thus it is all theory, and not much fact yet. Well I might clean up and go out soon. Frequently if one is not seen in Greenwich, the best time to look for them is on Monday morning in locations like the Grand Union when they put up their various supplies for the week. Well no news is good news, enjoy the rest of the holiday. CIO
Note:<888>7/05/99 Monday 9:40 A.M. EDT: I was up at 7 A.M. this morning. I had a phone call from Texas at 1 A.M. last night chatting about Houston, Texas. It got me thinking about the Martin R. Frankel embesslement case that has been in the Greenwich Times headlines for the last couple of months Greenwich Time Online | Welcome . By using dedective reasoning like in Sherlock Holmes I searched Frankel under AltaVista and came up with Frankel's Costume Co., Inc. which is out of Houston, Texas where George Bush George Bush, Family, Friends, Scott's Internet Hotlist and Howard Hughes were known to live when they were not in Greenwich. Hughes links are Hughes Sites Scott's Internet Hotlist , and since George Bush when head of the CIA use to use funny costumes, there is probably a Houston connection to all this Frankel news in the local paper. Frankel's photograph in the Greenwich Times looks like Paul Allen's Wired World . Since Howard Hughes' spruce goose flying boat was moved up to the Seattle, Washington area twenty years ago just about the time Microsoft started to become a dominant player in the software industry, I think it is safe to assume that old time Hughes operatives are involved in a lot of what is going on around the country and in Greenwich today, not to be confused with Rockefeller Sites or other power groups. We have to establish whether Greenwich, Connecticut or some other place like Palm Beach, Florida or some ski resort like Vail is the location where these various people comingle. Thus from what I can tell, there is basically no news; and a certain cleaver group of people are sitting inside writting fish stories while everyone else sweats it out outside. Well I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with a family member about the heat. If one is hot, Country Appliance in Stamford, Connecticut on Long Ridge Road by the Ridgeway Center has a large selection of air conditioners. For a living room or family room which is hot, I would recommend the largest Frederick air conditioner they make, but make sure it works off 115 volts unless you happen to have a 220 volt air conditioning wall socket at the desired location. Well I guess I will start to clean up and go out and observe the hot day. I also made up a batch of icetea.htm which should be cold in several hours. I suppose people from Houston are use to this hot weather, so they won't notice it too much. Well have a nice calm relaxing hot day. CIO
Note:<888>7/04/99 Sunday 9:50 P.M. EDT: I went out after dinner and watching the NBC evening news. I drove down by the waterfront, and viewed the harbor. I chatted with a Japanese fellow that lives near the volcano that begins with F in Japan, not Fuji; about volcanology and mentioned there was a 5.5 richter earthquake near Seattle, Washington yesterday. I chatted with another person on tech. I chatted with a couple of other locals. I returned just now, and it was quite hot out; and it is suppose to be that way for the next couple of days. Well have a good evening, time for me to go to bed. CIO
Note:<888>7/04/99 Sunday 5:40 P.M. EDT: I chatted with a family member. I had lunch of cold white chicken meat slices with tabassco and two ears of corn on the cob along with ice tea. I went out after lunch and drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. The Sea Falcon from London was turning around in the harbor. It looked like is might have been stuck. One person asked me where one might get a seafood sandwich around here. I suggested Allens in Westport. I am not sure if any of the local restaurants of other food perveyors sell lobster or crab meat rolls around here. Perhaps one could get them at Fijord Fisheries on the Mianus River. I was told by one waterfront observer that the Grass Island Texaco fuel pumps are closed for the summer. The Sea Falcon backed into the harbor and parked at the Greenwich Harbor Inn. I drove over to Old Greenwich and stopped at Staples. They have Digital Cell phones there for $25 a month service with SNET for sixty minutes and one gets one of four free digital phones worth over a $100 when one signs up. You need a credit card to sign up with Staples for SNET. I then drove out to Tod's Point and drove around. There was hardly anyone at the beach about 1:30 P.M., since it looked like it might rain earlier. It was beginnnig to clear about then. I chatted with one beach patrol officer. I then drove back to the center of town and parked. I walked down to the harbor and chatted with bicycler about the harbor and bicyling safety around here. He said he had lived in Amsterdam, so he like biking around here. I walked over to the Island Beach Ferry and took it out about 4 P.M. and chatted with a couple going out. I returned on the Ferry about 5 P.M.. Island Beach was packed full of people and it looked like several dozen people were planning to camp out there for the night. I noticed indeed the Texaco marine dock fuel pumps were closed, and posted closed for the summer of 1999. I returned to the center of town and returned home. I will have some fruit salad and ramen noodles for dinner along with ice tea. I just had a Citra soda in a frosted mug. I suggested to the couple on the Island Beach ferry that two way to stay cool during the hot weather is to use more salt and to add curry to ones salads and cooking. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with a nice breeze on the waterfront. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/03/99 Saturday 7:45 P.M. EDT: After I finished watching the video, I went for a drive. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, out by Grass Island, down Steamboat Road, up Milbank, by the High School where early arrivals are showing up for the fireworks, up North Street, across Lower Cross Road, down Lake, and over on Close Road, and down Round Hill Road, and over North Maple, and back downtown and back home for a pleasent evening drive. It has cooled down a bit, so I guess I am in for the evening. Enjoy the fireworks or whatever distractions you are pursuing this evening. CIO
Note:<888>7/03/99 Saturday 3:20 P.M. EDT: I tried downloading and installing the R5 Domino server demo on my machine this morning, but it was too sluggish.

I slept a couple or hours from 1 P.M. to 3 P.M.. I went back to bed about 6:30 P.M. until just now. I did get up and shut down the tape backup after it was finished, and restart the computer and server. I cooked a Purdue chicken while watching the movie, and I put it in the refrigerator to chill. Well time for breakfast. CIO
Note:<888>7/02/99 Friday 12:40 P.M. EDT:Well I tried fixing the passanger car window, but the bracket on the window with the cranking mechanism has broken seperating about 1 1/4 inch steel. I will have to replace the bracket when I have the funds, and possibly have a car window person install it on the car. The window is workable right now, but out of kilter. I guess I will have to not use it as much. I came back upstairs and after finishing the hard drive to hard drive backups, I ran Norton Speedisk on all drives. I had Ramen noodles, fresh fruit salad, and celery sticks for lunch with ice tea and coffee. I will now start a tape backup. I will probably take a short rest, and then clean up and go out. Well have a good afternoon. CIO

I ran Norton Disk Doctor, Norton Win Doctor, RegClean, and I am just about to start a C: and D: drive backup to the E: drive, while I clean up. I will then do a E: drive backup to the C: drive, and after cleaning up or before I will do a minor repair on my drivers side car window to align it.

Note:<888>7/01/99 Thursday 5:50 P.M. EDT: I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop. I found a great bargain a AT&T Cell Phone Model 3810. I am charging it up to see if it works. The lights came on when I pluged it into the transformer. It was $5 regularly, but everything was half price, so I got it for $2.50. I then drove down by the waterfront, and chatted with some of the regular waterfront crowd. It was raining and not much was going on. I feel tired with my low pressure, so I probably will fall asleep soon. It might rain harder, since generally when I feel this way were due for a down pour.
