Note:<888>7/14/98 Tuesday 7:45 P.M. EDT: I took a long nap until about fifteen minutes ago. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . It was up quite a bit today. It should be busy downtown this evening with Bastille Day and the market up. Tuesday nights are generally less busy, but with vacationers and with the market up, it will probably be busy on the Avenue this evening. I am just about ready to eat a Tombstone pizza. CIO

Note:<888>7/14/98 Tuesday 1:20 P.M. EDT: I called up the GEICO www.geico.com Policy Change number at 1-800-841-3000 and changed my auto insurance policy from $300,000, $300,000, $100,000 to $1,000,000; $1,000,000; $100,000; $25,000. The two $1,000,000 are for personal bodily injury in an auto event, the $100,000 is property liability, and the $25,000 is medical coverage as a pedistrian outside the automobile. The additional coverage is about $200 more a year for a total policy of about $900 a year. I had lunch of Ramen noodles, peanut butter sandwich, and coffee. Back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>7/14/98 Tuesday 10:20 A.M. EDT: I added the American Red Cross link to my homepage, since there is a national alert that here in the United States we only have a one day's blood supply. We usually like to have 2 weeks to a month's blood supply in reserve. I also added a link to the American Red Cross, Greenwich Chapter in case you're in the area and would like to donate a pint. I updated my Greenwich, Connecticut Real Estate page www.mikescott.net/gwreal.htm in case you or anyone you know might be able to afford real estate in the area. Coming from one of the original British families settling in the Colonies over 350 years ago, I treat my "Grace and Favor" apartment in Council housing as a pleasent hideaway from the maddening crowd of traffic in the center of town, but we have gotten use to it after all these years. Well I think I should clean up and get ready to face the heat of the day. As Nowell Coward use to say, "Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen Go Out in the Noon Day Sun." plus those of us who occassionally like a little sunshine and like doing a little observation duty. CIO

Note:<888>7/14/98 Tuesday 8:35 A.M. EDT: I was up at 6:30 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of Quaker Oats oatmeal, Arnold Healthnut bread, vitamins, orange and grapefruit juice, and coffee. I listened to www.ttalk.com . Aparently the midwestern correspondent of the show is traveling around the east coast possibly trying to explore what is happening. As usual with a large number of our citizens away on vacation out west in the country, we are recieving a large number of visitors from the midwest as they head towards east coast ports of call. I dare say once the White House and government take off on their various vacations we will see and increase of tourism during the rest of July and August. You have to remember a lot of the local citizens on the east coast work profitable resort and tourist operations during the warmer months, so they can visit warmer ports of call during the colder months. Remember the grass is always greener in the tourist business. Ultimately the individual that has the largest volumne of traffic will be the most profitable tour operator providing that individual can afford the cost of the overhead. The long term residents of this area seem to know how to manage and operate profitable operations based on many years of family involvement. I dare say as the individuals who travel through the area realise that as the area changes every hour of the day throughout the year with the increasing and decreasing volumne of traffic, the various local chambers of commerce of this local area are relatively profitable based on many years of continual involvement. Ultimately your friendly local banker seems to ulitimately know the long term outlook, but as most local businesses know the established business community in the area knows who is involved and active for the long term. Well, I guess I will bag off listening to the BBC trying to sell Great Britain, so I can see what local individuals are trying to rescue the stranded and visiting travelers in the area. Since I have worldwide communications and local knowlege in this area, the recent message in this area is that the American Red Cross is trying to raise blood since the local blood banks only have a one day supply. I would imagine this is quite an important message for anyone whom knows anything about medicine. Well enjoy your day, and if you see a Red Cross Blood Mobile consider giving blood in your free time. CIO

Note:<888>7/13/98 Monday 10:50 P.M. EDT: I had Ramen noodles and a peanut butter sandwich in the morning. I had a friend come down at 9:30 A.M.. We dropped by a full load of items at the Hospital Thrift Shop that he brought down since he is moving. I salvaged my old brown leather $500 flight jacket size 38 from Brooks Brothers that I had given him, in case I ever lose weight. I bought it in 1983, for it is about 15 years old, and far as I know has never been rained on. I also salvaged some classic Beatles, Stones, and Elvis records. We went for a drive afterwards up King Street. We drove out to Westchester Airport. They have a nice grey black Falconair ? type four engine private jet which would be long range, and hold about 20 people. I like the four engine configuration. Painted on it they had a big Red "N" like Nelson on the tailfin. It was parked next to the Exxon oil tankers. I guess they keep it ready for service at a moments notice. I surveyed the new airport and it looks quite great, sort of like Frank Loyld Wright. After about a half hour we drove down King Street. On the east side of the road south of the Convent of the Sacred Heart they look like they have sold property and have construction going on. Just north of the Royal Office Park, north of Anderson Hill Road for about a half of mile they have cleared a large track of land perhaps several hundred acres or more with heavy earth moving equipment that sits above the road grade at about a twenty foot level. It is south of the Airport, so I don't know if they are expanding the airport. However if they build a office park or track housing, there it would possibly interfer with airport expansion, particularly in a military emergency situation. I have not read any articles in the Greenwich Times about what is going on there, but it seems to be a massive project going on at the Western Greenwich Border. I also noticed that Rye Brook has a new police and town hall station which I had not noticed before just south of the Merrit Parkway on King Street. I would say just from the size of the property, that what ever development is going on King Street south of the airport would bring in at least another 2,000 cars on the road. I drove down Weaver Street on the way back and it is now posted at 25 miles per hour instead of the higher 35 to 40 it was years ago. I suppose it has made it more livable for the residents. I think it has been that way for a couple of years. I returned home and with my friend and surfed the internet looking for available real estate listings for him. He called up about a few. I made a family call. At about 2:30 P.M., we drove downtown, and I got a haircut at Subway barber from Tony chatting about my Italy adventures 25 years ago for $13 plus $2 tip. I generally don't make appointments, but wait until they are free since I am frequently downtown. We picked up a back copy of the Friday Greenwich Times from the Greenwich Times building with the weekly real estate section in it. My friend read it while I had my hair cut. The headlines were that the Beach Access Lawsuit was ruled on in favor of the Town, but the plantiff plans to appeal. He checked on a condo on Steamboat Road in a building overlooking the water. I don't know if the condo overlooks the harbor or not. The property was offered by www.country-living.com real estate. It is one of my favorite apartment buildings downtown. A brick 1960s four story building overlooking the harbor with small marina and a view of Grass Island and the new Sewage Treatment plant. On the harbor it has a western exposure. The condo for sale is a one bedroom unit with 850 square feet of floor space plus corner balcony. I don't know what floor or exposure. It is a reasonably priced for Greenwich waterfront of $325,000 plus $739 a month common charge. That is about as cheap as you're going to get on the harbor. The building is set back from the road about a hundred feet with pleasent tasteful landscaping with natural gas outdoor lighting. It is about a 200 yards walk to the Greenwich Train station, if one needed to use the commuter trains to New York City 40 minutes away. Having lived on Steamboat Road in a rental for five years, I know it is a plesent neighborhood downtown. The General Reinsurance building is next door with a number of corporate offices in it, since General Reinsurnce moved to Stamford. The Greenwich Harbor Inn is just up the road and of course Maneros is across the street from the Greenwich Harbor Inn. The brick building condo unit, I believe has indoor parking. At that price it might have a view of the harbor. It is newly listed by Barbara Suthergreen of www.country-living.com Country Living, 96 Lewis Street, Greenwich, Connecticut 203-869-8100. For lock the door and go away ease of living you could not do better. The Greenwich Harbor Inn also has airport limosine service to the major New York airports. I drove around the area for the millionth time. I then made my usual 4 P.M. biweekly Monday appointment. I stopped by Zyn and chatted with a local British advertiser about the excellent quality of writting in the British press and told him they tell a good story. I returned home with my guest about 5 P.M.. I defrosted and cooked two shell steaks in the broiler, corn on the cob, and Birdseye cream noodles. We ate and had coffee. I went out at 7 P.M. after my guest left. I stopped by the Greenwich library and chatted with one of our senior patrons whom I had not seen in several weeks who was waiting for his ride. He looked fit as a fiddle, but thought the library was too cold. He told me he watched the World Cup in Spanish, since he understands Spanish. He was spending quite a bit of time admiring the new library construction, and he is probably our most informed patron and long time user. I was happy to see him. He told me he is no longer driving, but being driven, which is probably just as well in all the traffic we now have. I went inside and read the Greenwich Times and two weekly computer magazines. The library was not too busy. I next went downtown and walked around the lower Greenwich Avenue area. There were lots of families out for dinners, movies, coffee as is usual this time of year. I said hello to some of my former Steamboat Road neighbors and told them about the Condo available. I guess there are quite a few waterfront rats that go downtown more often in the warmer weather. I told them about the Yacht last week from their native country. I returned back up the Avenue. I chatted with the night custodian at the Senior center. I next walked back down around the avenue and back up to the middle. I returned home at 10:00 P.M. and filed this report. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . I don't expect much market activity for a while since lots of people are on vacation. Well have a good night, after I post this, I will probably try to get a good night's sleep since I have been mostly awake since yesterday afternoon at 4 P.M. about 31 hours mostly awake. CIO

Note:<888>7/13/98 Monday 5:55 A.M. EDT: I went for a morning walk the full length of Greenwich Avenue. They're working on straightening the parking meters that have been knocked off kilter by plowed snow over the years. I only saw several others walkers who are always out there in the early morning. The parking meter collection person was collecting the coins from the meters as usual. I noticed that the Whitney shop has quite a nice collection of handy crafts including hand carved items including decoys. Starbucks was not open yet. I browsed the new cigar shop just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue. They look to have the largest stock of cigars in town. They are open from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M.. I noticed the Avenue seemed pretty clean, so our summer guests are not littering and are very well behaved. Lots of people do put cigarette buts out on the sidewalks on Greenwich Avenue. I recommend that people throw them in the streets since the street cleaner comes by several times a week, and it would make for a cleaner avenue. There were two fishermen on the bottom of Steamboat Road, not regulars. I noticed one family friend's house on the harbor was well lit up. It looks to be a nice day with pleasent weather today. We have a large inventory of foreign cars on West Putnam Avenue, if you are in the mood for buying a foreign car or a Cadillac or Oldsmobile. As far as I can tell all is quiet on the Greenwich front. Time for some minor network. CIO

Note:<888>7/13/98 Monday 3:50 A.M. EDT: This morning I was up after a four hour nap. I reinstalled Iphone 5.0 which I do every two weeks, so I don't have to buy it. To reinstall, when uninstalling click "no to all" when it comes up about file deletion. Then reboot and reinstall. I noticed this time again, it did not come up in full duplex, but it works in full duplex and seems to eventually get highlighted. I watched a program this morning on the History Channel about Scottish History which was very informative. However, this Scott clan was already over in America dealing with the Indians when most of that history was made. I guess we were always cleaver at Sea, so we came here rather early. Unfortunately although I am clever around the ocean, I am no good on the ocean. Well one figures all of France has a hangover today and will continue partying for the next two days through Bastille Day. Thus the day after Bastille Day would be a good day to invade France when the whole country is hung over. I have a friend coming down to make a donation to the Hospital Thrift Shop this morning. Also I read that the Red Cross is in dire need of blood, so if you have a pint to spare, give blood to the American Red Cross. Back to normal routine. Remember to take your Sun Glasses when you go out in the early morning. CIO

List of World Cup Advertisers for Sunday July 12, 1998.

Note:<888>7/12/98 Sunday 6:00 A.M. EDT:Commentary on the World Cup. I am sitting in my green, yellow, and blue polo shirt from the Kaluakoi Resort in Hawaii which is similar to Brzilian colors, but being one fourth French although I am blond which the French don't like, I also have blue white and red vertical stripe flag, which I think is the French national flag. It is so long about six years since I have been in France, I am not sure what it is like there anymore. I suppose I could turn on the World Cup and try and watch it tomorrow while I do my house cleaning, but I am not sure when it is one. I think they're about six hours ahead of us there, so assuming it started about 7 P.M. french time or 1 P.M. our time, I could try watching it whenever I wake up, if it is time. I saw a few Brazilians getting there flags ready this evening, and there were Brazilians at Starbucks. Realistically rich French people could hop on the Air France Concorde and probably make it over there in time, but they would probably have to know somebody to get them inside the World Cup arena. I suppose if a number of foreign dignitaries show up, they would have to spend a few more Francs on security, but I doubt if any of the enthusiastic soccer fans would even notice a foreign dinitary, since they would be focused on the world famous footballers. I understand over 2 billion people will be watching the world cup finals, so maybe some minor companies like Shell, Exxon, Elf, BP, General Electric, Phillips, Siemens, Mercedes Benz, GM, Ford, IBM, Microsoft, McDonalds, Florida Orange Juice Growers, South American Coffee Growers, Budweiser, Waste Management, Compaq, Horscht, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Schweppes, Wilson Sports, Spalding, Scott's Lawn Food, Lever Brothers, Proctor and Gamble, Litton Industries, United Technologies, Pffizer, Mobil, Erickson, Volvo, AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway, American Home Products, Nestle, Honeywell Bull, Rhone Politec, Monsanto, Union Carbide, Time Warner, World Com, MCI, Chase, Banque de Paris, Credit Lyon, French Wine Growers Association, French Needlepoint Association, Swiss Credit, Credit Suisse, United States Steel, Bethelem Steel, Raytheon, American Dairy Association, Citibank, Rolls Royce BMW, Volkswagon, Aston Martin Limited, Land Roover, Mouet et Chandon, Cunard, Aramco, Lever Brothers, Tungsram, Scotch Whisky Distillers Association, Carribean Rum Producers, British Gin Distillers, Schinley Liquors, Seagrams, Pernon, French Grape Producers Association, French Farmers Federation, Phillip Morris, R.J.

List of World Cup Advertisers for Sunday July 12, 1998.

Note:<888>7/12/98 Sunday 1:10 A.M. EDT: By the way I bought two loaves of Arnold Healthnut Bread at Arnold Bread Store today for $2.33. There was a tall African leaving the store that looked like Michael Jordan about 6' 6 ". I am not sure what size he is, but I read on the internet that he is opening a steak house in Grand Central Station with Chicago 20th Century Limeted motif, so when all the cattle barons come to town from around the world, they can have a decent steak. I hear tell that the best steak in the world is Canadian grain fed beef. Apparently when one feeds the cattle with grain unlike corn in the United Steaks you get a better tasting piece of beef. However, any quality butcher would have to tell you that the beef would have to be properly hung and aged at the proper temperature, and like Kobe beef from Omaho sometimes they feed the beef with a mash mixture of grain and beer and other items that create the perfect marbling of the beef. The best eating catttle I know of are Scottish Angus cattle. Don't eat the breeding stock though. Then you have to cook the beef over the proper real barbeque type grill with some type of hardwood charcoal like hicory or mesquite or even oak charcoal. It is really a complicated process coming up with a good steak in a restaurant. I think the Canadians might have it down to a science after years of experimenting on the range. On old gal I have met in Manhattan that has lived in Nowell Coward's apartment building off 1st avenue between 54th and 55th near where the cross country auto rally use to begin claimed to have lived in Manhattan since the early 1930s, and she claimed her Scottish family clan which has the same name of the world's most famous hamburger francaise had the original western Canadian land grant, so I imagine her reserves of beef are still amply stocked. She use to enjoy having a night cap with the New York Times Sports reporters across the street from the Mayfair restaurant in a little pub there. I believe her name was Ema McDonald and she looks enough like the Queen Mum to be her twin. Well here is the link to Mike Jordan's steak house story 98/28/Mon/Michael Jordan Steak House /Bar: newyork.sidewalk . Of course if you're ever in Chicago and dain to stop by the Pump room at the Ambassador East they have 7 foot tall 600 pound plus black Nubians who will wait on you in a very festive atmosphere, but unless you have a few gold coins to spend, it won't be cheap. In other events after my dinner guest left from the speghetti dinner, he was very tired. I had a cup of coffee after dinner and went downtown. If was a full house packed crowd with wall to wall parked cars. I walked the lower end of Greenwich Avenue twice and the entire length of the Avenue. I chatted with a family while walking who were on a sailboat here, about the marina that John Prince, Olympic Ocean Class Sailor, Lake Forest College circa 1955 runs on St. Johns in the Virgin Islands near Canelle Bay Plantation and the State Park Camp ground on the beach that is open to the general public if you can get a reservation. The state park is delightful. I once visited it in October during a calm hurricane season. On the way back I was driving back according to my speedometer at 30 miles and hour and two tall twin Greenwich Policeman that looked like Raquel Welch's twin boys, stopped me at the Aston Martin dealership and interviewed me. I told them about my experience driving the three similar types of Volvo I am driving over the years. The first was around 1973 a 1968 baby blue 4 door Volvo purchased at Peabody's for $2,500 with about 49,000 miles on it. I smashed up the right side in a blizzard driving from the Darian turnpike gas station when the oil shortage was in full swing and they were the only place with gasoline. I was only driving 25 miles an hour in six inches of snow, but the automatic transmission which is not good in snow shifted and sent the Volvo into a spin into the guard rail causing $750 damage which I never fixed. I sold it to a African who tutored retarded kids in White Plains for $1,250 after only owning it about six months and not putting very much milage on it during the oil shortage of that period. Around 1980 I bought a burgundy Volvo made in Belgium from John Delias's subara dealership after driving the old 1972 subaru for about 100,000 miles for a couple of years. The burgundy Volvo was a two door model with about 75,000 miles on it which I drove up to Cape Cod, with a Reagan Bush bumper sticker on it and then up to Montreal, Canada and over to Toronto for the Victoria jubille with a friend and then down to Key West back up Florida and across Route 10 to California. Eventually when we arrived in Santa Cruz, California there were about 2000 old Volvos on the campus of the University of California at Santa Cruz some over 30 years old all in great shape. The king of Sweden was there with the Royal Swedish symphony. I met up with an old Nixon ally. I spent the next three months with my friend driving north as far as Fort Bragg and hour north of San Francisco and south as far as San Diego, camping out in beach and mountain camp grounds. We spent a lot of time around Santa Barbara camping out next to the Reagan ranch with our Reagan Bush bumper sticker. The friend I was with had a grandfather that moved west to Santa Barbara in the early 1930s. The night President Reagan was elected I said hello to the Combustion Engineering Lawyer and his wife at the Montecedo Inn in Montecedo. They had bought our old house in Baldwin Farms South in Greenwich. I spend the evening down in Laguna at a Reagan Victory party with the likes of William Holden and a lot of the California Old Guard on the beach. About a week later as I was running out of money, a fellow that looked like Nelson Rockefeller named Joel who had a house on the beach in Laguna invited us to stay. He said he was the head of Xerox in California. I disguessed my adventures and at certain times during the trip since it seemed like I had a couple of thousand people around me from Cal Tech, I did talk a little tech. Around the beginning of December I sold the Volvo in Aneheim with a bad clutch for $1,250 at a cash for you car place with about 96,000 miles on it. Thus it was over 20,000 miles on the road out west in that Volvo in very hot weather. The only other mechanical difficulty besides the clutch in that very hot weather was I got a flat tire with one of the Mesner tires. The current white 1976 Volvo 244 DL, I bought for $2,500 with 47,000 miles about five or six years ago. It now has 101,000 miles. The only major expenses beside oil changes have been two new sets of tires about $600, new tires on the car now. Weld the gas tank leak $175, starter motor still skip $300 at Exxon, brakes I did myself $50, major lube and transmission and rear axle changes about $150, timing belt and valve cover gasket $300 at Exxon, battery from Exxon $85, replace left front strut support $200 at truck Welding place in Stamford, pair of strut support plates $50, hub cap $25, exhaust system at two different times muffler and then catalytic converter at Midas in Greenwich about $500. Fuel filter twice once recently about $100. Ignition wires $40. Alternator regulator button plugin about $25. Once a year tuneups I do myself about $40 for parts. Oil change every 3,000 miles or three months about $15 to $30 each time. I also once bought a General spare tire at Sams in Maine for $45, and about three sets of Hologen headlights at about $40 a set and at least $30 in other bulbs. I now have a General Brigadier set of tires on the car. So for the last five or six years the current Volvo with a clutch with a lot of junk adding weight in the trunk has been a good local car particularly on snow. Mom says people up in Maine have the same car with 300,000 to 500,000 miles on it; so I might expect to have it for another 30 to 50 years at the rate I am driving, if Volvo can come with parts if I need them. There are quite a lot of Volvos like mine driving around here anymore. I was told by the high price Volvo people in Stamford, the president of Volvo of North America lives in Old Greenwich. Give my best to George, Brook, or Bob if you see them around some Volvo operation. Of course a good friend of mine drives a 1977 Yellow Volvo sedan with about 120,000 miles; that he bought it for $3,500 with 42,000 miles and has put over $3,000 into maintaining it. However he drives it extensively and harder on longer trips than I do. Well enough of Volvo folklore. I remember in the early 1970s several of my Manhattan friends had the little two seater Volvo sports sedans, and I told them they should preserve them, they were really classic cars. One was orange, one was green, and one was baby blue. Well I better post this. With all the Swedish famlies in Greenwich, one day the Greenwich police might test out a Volvo. I would say we have at least 2,000 Swedish citizens. My mother gave me the Swedish sticker for my Volvo when she visited Stockholm last year. Also Warren Buffett of GEICO gets about $900 a year from me for my insurance package including towing which is suppose to include a million dollar liability policy. CIO

Note:<888>7/11/98 Saturday 7:35 P.M. EDT: Besides all that other stuff, I also put $14 of premium gasoline from Exxon next to the library in my Volvo. They had about $10,000 in cash sitting on the counter when I was in there at about 1 P.M. CIO

Note:<888>7/11/98 Saturday 7:05 P.M. EDT: I went downtown at noon and stopped by the Putnam Trust Bank of New York that is open until 1 P.M. on Saturday. I went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down to the middle of Greenwich Avenue and walked around for about a half hour on lower Greenwich Avenue. It was rumoured that there was a casualty in the apartments on Greewich Avenue yesterday. I returned to the library. I chatted with the other regular security guard who does not have to eat cats because he worked for a wholesale butcher in Stamford and told him the story. I mentioned that when I lived in Key West there were 500 stray cats around the Casa Marina in the mid 1970s and when I went back for a brief spell in 1983 they had all gone, so maybe the refugees in Key West ate all the cats. A lot of them were the six toed Hemingway cats. I mentioned to a couple of people that the Indonesian volcano was activer Hot gas spews out of Indonesian volcano . I also mentioned to to the library security guard and our top legal council that according to Phillip Ziegler's, the press secretary in his book on Nixon that when they made there first trip to China, the secret service lost track of Nixon for four hours. I got to thinking that from this story Clintons stuck in elevator for 10 minutes about the Clintons stuck in an elevator in China for ten minutes that maybe the cleaver Chinese replaced Nixon with a duplicate when he was visiting and maybe the Clinton elevator party were replaced with duplicates when it was supposedly stalled for ten minutes. I hope they have a way of verifying the real people returned from China since you figure it would not be too difficult to come up with duplicates since the first family looks like many average Americans in the midwest. Maybe I grew up watching too many spy stories and episodes of Mission Impossible, but if one can think of it another cleaver group of people could probably pull it off. The way to make sure if it is the real President, a audio expert could compare voice prints and see if they match up. A voice print is harder to match than a fingerprint. Obviously there are enough recordings of the real president, so you could compare certain keyword with his most recent Saturday radio address RADIO ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT to see if they match up. Let's hope we got the right goods back from China and not a Chinese copy cat . Well Greenwich has a modest group of families out today enjoying the beautiful weekend weather. I am expecting a dinner guest in a half hour. My father's old boss at Monsanto who lived in a nice old house in Stamford, Connecticut has retired to Pennsacola, Florida where a few other people I know about seem to be moving. Well enjoy the evening. CIO

I might make it out this morning once I clean up, but as you know when you start surfing the net, it seems to go on forever and forever, I basically have been looking at tech stories on Windows 98. As far as I can tell we have to maintain the usually high level of security in the area, since the simple fact of a large number of people traveling through town every day, means that many people are unfamiliar with the town, and are not familiar with the traffic and pedestrian traffic patterns, thus it is not we are paranoid, the locals tend to be safety cautious since we do live a busy area like any urban environment. Let's face it we're not down on the farm here. CIO

It was down quite a bit more today than the Microsoft Investor program reported. I have not been out today, but not much is happening, so I thought I'd sit back and relax at home. Well enjoy your weekend. CIO

Note:<888>7/10/98 Friday 5:00 A.M. EDT: Well I checked my email and read www.mikescott.net/scotwork.htm . I guess all the newsmakers are so prosperous, they aren't trying to make news, but hopefully they are trying to enjoy the quality of life a bit while they still have some to enjoy. A great many older people in this area enjoy seeing and visiting with their grandchildren. Well not much to report on the home front. I guess I will be on a later schedule today. I have not been paying much attention to those back east in Old Greenwich this summer after many summers. I spend a lot of time in the middle of Greenwich the midwest, while living out here on the west coast of Greenwich with a beautiful west coast view of Port Chester. As the local scout in this area, I can assure you that Port Chester at it two beer distributors has more beer at a reasonable price for all those visitors from the North Sea who imbibe it in quanity by the pint. At the moment I am aging my beer supply, since I have no inclination to have a drink. Well lets hope the hospitality department in Greenwich has a chance to show what it can do during the next couple of weekends. I dare say, more goes on in the residential areas of town than the rather small inconspicuous downtown area. Let's face it Greenwich is primarily a residential town, and the residents usually don't pay too much attention to what happens down town, unless they happen to live downtown. I can assure you some of the hosts and hostesses in back country or along the shore know how to put on the old feed bag, when it comes to hospitality, but it is hard to tell who is in town and who is away on diverse travel plans. From my viewpoint today, the Grand Union the food looked a bit old, so lots of people are away and the grocery stock is not turning over as fast as normally. However, for security reasons we don't divulge the travel plans or the nature of the town's occupants, but for all I know it is the same as always, since in the day time the town particulary in the morning, the town is quite busy with the usual old guard. Well time to shut down. CIO

Note:<888>7/10/98 Friday 2:30 A.M. EDT: I went out at 11 P.M. or shortly thereafter. I parked down at the center of the Avenue and walked down around the bottom of the Avenue. It was very quiet out. I walked up towards the top of the Avenue and observed the wall the masons are working on at the Presbyterian Church on the top of the Avenue. They are doing a fine masonry job of building the curved wall. I walked back down Greenwich Avenue. There was a small group of youngsters at the Dome restaurant. One of the visitors was driving a venarable 30 year old bronze Buick Riviera with black and gold California license plates. It had the folding headlights. I believe people in California who have black and gold license plates are long time residents, and they generally have not been issued in that format since the late 1960s. Thus we have old guard Californians in our midst. I drove down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and used the restroom. It was quiet. I noticed a couple of Canadian license plates on automobiles in their parking lot, so that is about number 22 and 23 Canadian license plates I have seen in town in about 15 years since I have been back. I chatted with one of the Canadians checking in and he was down from Toronto on a sales run. I noticed that somebody had broken a Dos Equus Beer bottle at the front of the Greenwich Harbor Inn with a lime in it. I told a little time to remove the glass shards that were lying around the entrance. I guess some people who drink can be a little reckless. I drove down by the Sound and only a couple of cars were there. I returned to the middle of Greenwich Avenue and the Greenwich Police intercepted a car driving up the Avenue the wrong way, and held it for investigation for about an hour with three cruisers around it. It looked pretty routine. I drove around and back down by the water, and there were a couple people out enjoying the full moon by the water. The evening was quite pleasent and there is really not much to report. It was one of the slowest Thursday nights I had seen in a long time. I had a bite of blueberry jello and some ice tea when I returned home. I will do a little net work when I return. CIO

Note:<888>7/9/98 Thursday 11:00 P.M. EDT: I did a little computer work and cat napped through the morning. I was up at 2:30 P.M. and made it to my 3 P.M. appointment. I went by the hospital thrift shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and there lots of people around from the tropics. I noticed one young fellow from the tropics in an orange shirt had the train station parking garage on watch like he was a lookout. I have read dozens of police reports in the Greenwich Times over the years about vandalism and automobile electronics stolen from that garage. I hope he was not involved in that activity. I drove down to the end of Steamboat Road and there was a 300 pound African fellow trying to stake out turf down there all afternoon along with the usual group of coastal observers. I stopped by ELDC and they had their usual assortment of goods there. I mentioned to shop proprieter there and to the local parish priest on Greenwich Avenue that I always see sneaking cigarettes that there was a short about 5 foot older white haired Italian fisherman slightly balding in Key West in the mid 1970s that was deeply tanned and bared an uncanny resemblence to Pope John of previous generations. This was after Pope John had supposedly passed away, so it must have been another look alike. However the local Spanish catholic parish seemed to respect him, and I would frequently see him around the whole wheat pizza parlor. Of course having lived in Italy a few years before, I saw thousands of people with the same look. After chatting with the parish priest, I stopped OmniPoint and briefed them on local telecommunications. I stopped by CVS and bought a $1.39 box of Cheesit Party Mix. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and chatted with the senior center night custodian about local activity and mentioned some of the problems in the U.K. and Ireland might be from the fact they drink too much. I heard a report on the BBC recently it is not uncommon for a citizen to drink 200 pints of beer and stout a week, so I guess they get in a bad mood when they run out of beer. I chatted with a decent fellow from England about World Economics and while we were chatting a sharp looking gal showed up in a new Aston Martin convertable with a dealer plate on it to buy a cigar at the cigar shop across from the police station. I mentioned to the British chap that of all the places I have eaten in the area in the last fifteen years since I have been back, the Roger Sherman Inn in New Canaan is my favorite place. I picked up two buy two get one free Merit Ultra lites at Zyns for $11.60. I went to the library and read the paper. I chatted with a few of the regular users. The library was not too busy. The elevator is still broken. I chatted with the Haitian security guard and told him the story about seeing a six foot high grey panther in Florida in the mid 1970s near the Polo Fields in Boca Raton one winter morning at sunrise when I was waking up in my old Subaru. I was with a friend, so I had another eye witness. Thus I guess those old swamp cats steak out the polo fields in Florida looking for a morning breakfast snack. He explained to me that Haitians like the Chinese like eating cats. Thus if anyone is missing any of their cats or there are less stray cats around than normal, it could be because members of the Chinese or Haitian community are dining on them. I next went to the Grand Union and bought GU 2% milk $1.67, GU evaporated milk .75, a three pound bag of onions $1.99, two ears of yellow corn .40, and 90% fat free ground beef at $2.99 a pound for $3.95 for a total of $8.76. I then returned home and started making speghetti. I chopped up the ground beef into little squares and put them in a heated griswold skillet with a little hot olive oil. I browned the chopped meat. While it was browning I chopped up four medium to large onions and one red pepper. I strained the browned ground beef and put it in a 2 gallon revere pot with olive oil on the bottom. I added the chopped pepper and onion along with a cup of white wine. I put in about three tablespoons of chopped garlic, italian spices, basil, pepper, thyme, hot curry, chinese five spice, a tablespoon of worstershire sauce, a tablespoon of horse radish, a teaspoon of tabasco sauce, three tablespoons of French Dijon mustard, and a guart can of Italian crushed tomatoes and a quart can of Italian whole tomatoes with juice and two 4 ounce cans of chopped mushrooms. I mixed all the ingredients together and simmer for an hour. I set another three gallon revere pot going with hot water and seven minutes before the sauce was done, I put in a package of thin speghetti. I put a little parmesian cheese on my spegehetti and it was a filling enjoyable dinner. I saved most of the speghetti noodles and froze one container of the sauce and put the other container in the refrigerator. I am drinking my coffee after dinner and filing this report. I noticed the stockmarket was down a bit according to Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . Well I think I will go out for an evening stroll shortly. CIO

Note:<888>7/8/98 Wednesday 1:50 A.M. EDT: I made a jello mixture. I used two packs of jello either sweeten of nonsweeten, I used one of each and any flavor, I used mixed fruit and cranberry. One boils a cup of hot water for each jello container, and adds it to a bowl or container that can hold all the ingredients. One stirs it 2 minutes. One then adds an equal amount of cold liquid. For two packets, I added a cup of wine and a cup of orange and grapefruit juice with a half teaspoon of angostora bitters. I mixed it all together and then added a pint of fresh blueberries which have been in my fridge for a week. In four to six hours I will have a jello desert. Tell Bill Cosby if he is still working at General Delivery in Key West, Florida to forward any mail I might not have recieved in fifteen years. I just got to thinking that the fellow on the boat at the Greenwich Harbor Inn might be senator Clay Shaw from Florida, and he is like the Don Johnson character of Miami Vice and probably keeps a pet 14 foot aligator on his boat to help protect his natural environment. He is pretty much an old swamp hand, having grown up in the swamps in Louisiana until he went gator poaching with Wiley the swamp fox from South Carolina. He is in direct communications with Florida via his cell phone, so have the harbor patrol keep and eye on the craft. If anybody sees Chris Craft around, tell him to check with NASA about using 1 part iodine to 100,000 parts water for cloud seeding. I think that was the formula in the old days. One would have to spray it at the highest altitude available from sprayer aircraft. I think Mosquito control planes or tanker planes properly configured would do the job. I would not recommend dumping a 100,000 gallons of water directly, since that would way 800,000 pounds and might cause property damage. There might be one side effect to using the iodine for cloud seeding in that in hot atmospheric conditions when it is tried, it might cause a faint violet tinge on the sand or any other white surfaces like houses or cars. One has to make sure it is 1 to 100,000 parts give or take about 2 percent, since you basically are iodizing the clouds, and that formula use to work. They do much the same in the northern resorts for snow making at higher colder altitudes. I think you can similate the effect. If you have a sauna bath, go in and heat it up to high temperature that you are comfortable in. In the three gallon wooden bucket of tepid water add about three drops of iodine. Once the sauna is steamed up, add the water iodine mixture to the rocks, and watch what happens. Thus you will need a second bucket of clear water to steam it up. That small amount of iodine will not cause iodine poisoning, when you think how much of it one use to use as kids. Well its worth a try. I don't know if it would work in the middle east, one does not necessarily need cloud formations, but any area like the Canaries or Western Sahara that have lots of vapor moisture in the upper atmosphere, even without clouds, it should produce rain. It basically iodizes the h2o mollecules by having them collect additional free floating hydrogen and oxygen mollecules combining them together to make them heavy enough to rain. Well I hope it rains, but as I have said before, I have forgotten so much, it is hard to remember after all these years. The computer aspect I am focused on takes a lot of time and tech reading to make it seem simple with the cooperation of a large team of experts who know this technology better than I do. Well enjoy your visit to the north country, I hope I see you all down south some day. CIO MLS
