Note:<888>7/31/99 Saturday 5:25 P.M. EDT: I recieved a phone call at 9 A.M. this morning, and I chatted with a family member. I got up and had Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I called Karl Chevrolet in New Canaan and they did not have any cars in my price range. I called Stamford Saturn and they had a 1988 Mazda Wagon with stick shift and a bad tires and a dent in the passenger door with 51,000 miles for $2,850. I check with Stamford Subaru and they had nothing under $7,000. I went out without cleaning up, and I drove over to Stamford Saturn and looked at the Mazda. Although low miles, it was a bit worn, so I decided not to get it. I looked at the new Saturns and they are quite sporty. I drove over to look at the used cars at the Riverside shopping center, and they had a classic Volkswagon convertable for about $7,500 bug type body. I stopped by Staples and bought a Oxford Press Guard two blue clip binders for $5.82. I drove over to Tod's Point, and I noticed a 20 year dark Navy Blue BMW in front of the Old Greenwich Elementary school for sale in very good condition. I drove out to the parking area at the south west corner of Tod's Point, and I chatted briefly with some fishermen about Hopkins Lures. I noticed one fisherman from Florida trying his luck. It was hassy on the skyline, and I noticed about fifty day sailers out by the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I returned towards town, and I stopped by Greenwich Toyota and they have a couple of used cars there for $6,000 to $7,000. I went down Greenwich Avenue, and I stopped by the Greenwich SAAB dealership, and they have a sporty yellow convertable there for about $40,000. I said hello to some people from Florida. They have used cars there starting at about $11,000. I drove by Griffin Ford used car lot, and they have a nice 1992 Burgundy Buick Riviera there price unknown and a lower price $5,000 Ford Escort. I went by Grassi Cadillac and they have used cars starting at $7,000. I went by the Greenwich Library and I read the local paper and looked at the car ads. I drove by Pray Volkswagon, and they have used cars starting at about $11,000. I looked at the Volkwagon golf like Prince William got, and it is very sporty; but as he gets bigger since he is six foot three inches at 17, he will have a hard time fitting into it. I suggest he might think of driving a custom maid Daimler as he get old since he would fit comfortably into it. I suggest in five years if he joins the Royal Navy after University, he and a lot of his school chums might be serving somewhere in the Carribean. They would probably like those little pink and white beach jeep surrey cars with electric motors for Carribean service in five years. I then returned home and had a Nestea Ice Tea in a frosted mug. I think I will keep my Volvo for the time being since new cars are very expensive. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/31/99 Friday 4:40 A.M. EDT: I search Lanzerote at Alta Vista and reviewed some of the English links. Lanzerote was a fun place to get away from it all in February 1997, particularly if you don't know Spanish. Well I guess I will have to start calling it a day. I also reviewed the online learning disk from Microsoft, and the third disk program does not work. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>7/31/99 Friday 1:55 A.M. EDT: Well today is the day, that I thought of about five weeks ago when the little Chinese boy caught the 31 inch Blue Fish. I figured if Ben Laden were going to commit a terrorist incident it would be today, since June only had 30 days, well we'll have to wait and see if anything happens today, lets hope not. I went out at 10 P.M. and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of time. One local observer thought that maybe the stock market might go down some time soon, so watch one's portfolio. I guess now would be a good time to take one's profits before one loses them all. Of course some people can't afford to sell since the capital gains would be exorbent. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and sat out at the top of Greenwich Avenue again. I walked back down. I ran into another exercise walker, and we walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue again. We viewed the construction of another restaruant or bar at where the old Paradise Cafe use to be. I don't know what kind of establishment it will be. Maybe it will be a gourmet water bar where you get any of 1,000 different types of bottles water served in various different ways. Well I know they're popular in California, amongst those whom think "You Can't Be Too Rich or Too Thin". After walking the entire length of Greenwich Avenue again, I walked back down to the bottom and returned again. I drove down Steamboat Road and there were a few young astronomers out viewing the evening skyline. I noticed the Sea Falcon is back in port and has returned from a rum running trip to London in the British Isles. Maybe it is bringing up kegs of rum from the Indies. When I chatted with the Norwegian sailor yesterday, I forgot to ask him if he knew anything about the where abouts of the Viking which is suppose to be the world's largest private yacht. I suppose with the upcoming hurricane season weather.htm they won't be traveling to the western hemisphere. Well it was a pretty quiet late evening with a few college kids going to the Dome restaurant and Thataway and 64 Greenwich Avenue had live music. I suppose today will be another hot sultry day, and there will be lots happening with people escaping from New York for the begining of the August vacation month. I hear tell the Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach areas are popular with americans down south along with Florida for those whom don't mind the heat. Of course one can always travel up to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia where they make new Volvos in North America. Thus the Eastern sea board is probably full of summer revelers keeping a wary high to the upcoming tropical storm season. Americans love the ocean, but it is a love hate relationship since many year round residents know how fickle the ocean can be, but here in hot sultry Connecticut we enjoy moderate weather on a year round basis based on the occassional pleasent breezes off Long Island Sound once the smog from New York City blows away. Well have an enjoyable morning, and remember to be hospitable to our visitors, so when we travel outside our community to their communities we have equally enjoyable experiences. Basically Greenwich is a pretty quiet town and the older resident work hard trying to keep it that way. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 9:50 P.M. EDT: I chopped the three cantalopes into small pieces. I mixed them with a cup and a half of white wine, and a cup and a half of orange juice, and a jiffer of Mount Gay Eclipse Rum and Angostora bitters and mixed it all together and put it all in two seperate rubbermaid containers to ferment for a day or until I finish eating it. I sliced four slices of white meat off the cold Purdue chicken, and steamed frozen mixed vegtables and a ear of corn and had them for dinner with carrott and celery juice and I am just finishing a glass of ice tea before I go out. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 8:45 P.M. EDT: I removed all the Linux downloads from my system. I can't get them to work, and I don't think they are much threat to Microsoft superior products. I also installed a program called the Attune Network, but I can't figure out what it does. I will have a bite to eat now. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 7:25 P.M. EDT: I recieved two calls and chatted. I went out about 5 P.M.. I stopped by CVS and bought a carton of Dutch Treat Sweets cigar cigarettes for $15.04 total. I went over to Peabody's garage, and they looked at my exhaust system, and they said it is not that serious and to wait until it gets worse. Thus I will keep the car for now. They have a 1986 Toyota Celica with 58,000 miles for about $4,700 and they also have around a 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo with about 55,000 miles for $4,700 both of which are too pricey for me. I drove down to the center of Greenwich Avenue, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue in the heat. I I stopped by the Grand Union and bought two Post Almond Oats cerial for $2 each, Early Moring Bacon $1.79, GU large eggs $1.49, GU half gallon 2% milk for $1.69, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter for $1.29, a Red Baron Pepperoni pizza for $3.50, three medium cantaloupes for $2 for $16.16 total. I returned home and put away the groceries, and I watched the end of the evening news. The weather warning red light was on for Thunder Storm alert, but I am not sure if it was for this area. I will do a little computer work and then have some cold sliced chicken and corn on the cob and baked potatoe. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 4:10 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 1:30 P.M.. I dinkered with the computer again trying to install Linux, but it does not do the complete install with Lisa installer. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, five strips of bacon, vitamins, and coffee. I checked with a few security people around the area, and I recommended the limit parking at the bottom of Steamboat Road to one hour and strictly enforce, so the local group of thugs out from the Bronx can't monopolize the area, and permit local area residents to also enjoy viewing the waterfront. As usual the First Selectman's Office, the Greenwich Police, the Unites States Secret Sevice, the Military Police at West Point, and the United States State Department, don't want to get in waterfront observations, since it means having to spend extended time out at various hours of the day during all times of the year observing a cross section of humanity whom like to look at the water, but actually are just parking there on Steamboat Road, since it is one of the public places in Greenwich which are not strictly controlled. Basically whomever is trying to monopolized the waterfront area should try some other fishing locations since they seem to be able to drive a half hour or more to come here everyday, and at the same time don't choose to fish near their own home. Needless to say the Ebb and Tide of the waterfront group of wharf rats continues, and I suppose we will survive until winter set in, when no one has any interest in viewing the waterfront. Well I am tired of the waterfront locals, so I will spend more time around town and the library. I just recieved a car, and I am not going to get the Saturn since a family member wants to keep it. I will have to decided whether to fix my car or to get another used car. I am out of cigarettes, and I have to clean up so have a good day, and enjoy the rest of it. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 6:45 A.M. EDT: I have been working all morning trying to install the Caldera Linux 2.2, but I did get it to start installing, but I am missing a file, so I have to start the process over when I get up today. I am bushed, have an enjoyable day. CIO

Note:<888>7/30/99 Friday 1:20 A.M. EDT: Well I am still downloading, and I have seven more hours to go, so I will go to bed and hope it is finished when I wake up. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>7/29/99 Thursday 9:10 P.M. EDT: I sent down a couple of emails to Brazil telling them we could probably sell any extra air condtioners they might have at Welcome to SAM'S Club in Elmsford, New York. They have a one day pass, but you pay 5% more. I found this information for you Linux gurus whom want to use a Cable Modem BYTE Column - Cable Modems And Linux, Tim Orbaker . Of course I can not afford the Red Hat Cdrom, so I can't figure out how to configure Linux on my machine. I have been downloading ftp://ftp.calderasystems.com/pub/OpenLinux/2.2/ all day over the cable modem with the server down for speed. It is a long download, but since one can use Linux with a cable modem, I thought I would try to get it all going off my 1 gigabyte D: drive without Fat32 installed. I did make it to my 3 P.M. appointment, and I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop, and I drove a neighbor home. I continued downloading, and about 6 P.M., I recieved the NOAA weather warning for a "Flood Watch" for Goshen, New York and Southern Orange County. I called up West Point at 914-938-4011 and dialed extension 2 after hours, and I chatted with the Post Military Police and gave them the NOAA weather warning, which they might not have heard. Also this afternoon, I discovered I was not having problems with the clutch in the Volvo just the floor mat was rolled up behind the clutch petal, so it would not go down all the way. I moved the floor mat, and the clutch works fine. However, the muffler would be a problem for any future owners costing about $400. I was told about the some people who might take it for a tax deduction. I broiled a boneless shell steak, and defrosted mixed vegtables, and microwaved a baked potatoe. I went out at 7 P.M. to check the weather on Steamboat Road, and I noticed the usual fishermen and waterfront observers, and I saw one local Norwegian putting in his boat. I mentioned to him I was in Oslo in February of 1983, and I chatted with a couple of gentlemen that looked like Ronald Reagan and Casper Wineburger. Ronald Reagan's ambassador to Norway was from Lake Forest, Illinois where I had gone to college. I also mentioned that a gal from Norway use to fly the Norwegian flag in Key West in the old days in 1977 and 1978 at the Atlantic Shores beach club and never go out in the sun. I reminded him of my internet site mrscott.com, and told him to look at weather.htm .I forgot to mention in October 1976, King Olaf of Norway was on Fort Lauderdale Beach with 5,000 Norwegians. I also forgot to ask him if he had seen Rhone Dietrin anywhere in the world, or he is probably still stuck on Lanzerote. Rhone's father was a pilot with SAS, so Rhone might still be living at the end of the runway whom knows. I also forgot to mention I once met two Norwegian helicopter pilots at Westchester Airport whom keep an all weather red off shore oil platform helicopter at McArthur airport on Long Island. It is probably one of the best all weather helicopters in the world. The weather down on Steamboat was ominous, but it had not started to storm yet. I returned home, and I am continuing the download of Linux. Once I get it all downloaded, I will try to install it to the D: drive, and I will change the CMOS to boot the D: drive, to see if it work and try to get the Cable Modem working with Linux for diversion. I have been up since 3 A.M. having a quiet day. If I get Caldera Linux 2.2 going, I will probably ZIP together the download and post it for easier download in this area. It all take time. Today was pleasent weather, and I will have a quiet evening until whenever I finish the download and go to bed. CIO

Note:<888>7/29/99 Thursday 5:15 A.M. EDT: I was up at 3 A.M.. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I started cooking a Purdue chicken when I got up, and I just put it into the refrigerator to chill for cold chicken. My log on the Apache server is missing the last two days entries since when the power went off yesterday, I lost the previous days entries, and I also lost yesterday entries until just now, because when the Apache server is closed down incorrectly, one had to clean up the last couple of lines of the log file with a text editor to get it working fine again. I will do a little regular interent work. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>7/28/99 Wednesday 6:05 P.M. EDT: I did a few house keeping chores, and I recieved a call from a friend. I picked him up at the train station, and I drove out to Tod's Point. I showed him my car, and I told him he could have it for free, but I advised against it since it would be too much to maintain on his budget. We viewed the windy Long Island sound on a very nice day. I went to discard a Nestea Ice Tea can in the trash can right at the entrance to the Southwest area, and I noticed what looked like a cripled racoon in the trash can. My friend started calming the racoon by talking to it, and I checked with the caretakers wife, and she says it happens all the time and just tip over the trash can and let it escape. My friend knocked over the trash can, and sure enough the racoon headed down to the waterfront to cool off from the hot heat of the trash can. We daparted the Tod's Point park and I drove him back home to Darien. He stopped of at Taco Bell in Stamford to get some tacos, and a couple of Star Wars souvenirs. I showed a bit of the post road in western Darien and then dropped him off and returned home. I only had about four hours sleep last evening, so I will go to bed now. A family member mentioned it was up to 115 degrees F. in Birmingham, Michigan. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/28/99 Wednesday 10:40 A.M. EDT: I did not fall sleep until 4 A.M.. The alarm went off at 8 A.M. this morning. I fell back asleep until 9 A.M.. I had not heard from the used car man at Stamford Volvo, so about 9:20 A.M. this morning the power went off until about 10:15 A.M.. The Housing Authority is having a Union Meeting with the Teamsters downstairs, so I guess they will be cool enough in the community room. I mentioned to one of them that I am looking to get rid of the Volvo in two weeks, and he said he knew someone in New Haven who might be interested. I was thinking of keeping the Volvo for a snow car since it is really good in snow, but I don't think a resident is allowed to have two cars. I guess I will go back to sleep, and I will reset the VCR later. It seems to be a cool day this morning. Our maintenance man is away on vacation. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>7/28/99 Wednesday 1:35 A.M. EDT: I had a glass of vegtable juice. I went out and water the plants and grass in front of the building for about two hours, and I gave them a good soaking. The plants on the north end of the building I put five pales of water around each, and gave the rest a good dozing. I noticed the space shuttle made it back to planet earth nasa.htm . I suspose they will have to build a couple new shuttles to replace the aging fleet. I am about to have a bowl of fresh fruit and ice tea. I have the used Volvo saleman coming to look at my car at 9 A.M. this morning, so I have to get to bed. There was a motorcycle making quite a bit of noice on west Putnam Avenue. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>7/27/99 Tuesday 10:30 P.M. EDT: I went after the last message. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and the local copy of the paper was not there. I chatted with one patron about construction. I parked in the center of downtown Greenwich, and I chatted with a local in the center of town. I walked down by the habor, and the Greenwich Harbor Inn was not very busy with just a couple of dozen people having cocktails on the waterfront. I walked on down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and I chatted with a few of the locals for a while. I walked back uptown and sat out for a while and drank a diet Coke I had brought with me. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and I returned to the post office plaza and I had a cigar. I walked up the Avenue, and I stopped off at Baskin Robbins and I bought a pint of Dacguari Ice for $4 plus a dollar tip. I returned home, and I had two scoops of Dacguari Ice and a diet Sprite. There were quite a few bugs out this evening, and I even saw one large two inch dead horse fly on the steps of the Greenwich Library, and two small bugs stung me down by the waterfront. I guess with the dry weather we have more bugs. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/27/99 Tuesday 5:45 P.M. EDT: I called Stamford Volvo used cars and one of their saleman is coming over tomorrow morning at 9 A.M. to look at my car to see if he wants to take it off my hands when I get the Saturn. My friend from Brazil uses Bem-vindo ao ZipMail . CIO

Note:<888>7/27/99 Tuesday 5:30 P.M. EDT: I wrote a long email to Brazil about what I have been doing for the last ten years. I made a Chef's salad with endive lettuce, sliced tomatoe, sliced cucumber, chopped half of onion, one third of a can of pitted olives, two slices of mozerella cheese in slices, and four strips of crumbled microwaved bacon and home made salad dressing and I ate it with a glass of iced coffee. Well I will clean up and face the afternoon heat. Temperature on the outside thermometer in the sun is 130 degrees F. and inside it is 80 degrees F. with the air conditioner going. Stay cool. CIO

Note:<888>7/27/99 Tuesday 3:00 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 9 A.M.. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with a family member. I went back to bed until 2 P.M.. A family member called and I am going to get their 1993 four door Saturn with 25,000 miles in a couple of weeks, so I will have newer transportation with air conditioning for a change. I also found this link while searching auto sites autonetworkshow1 with JFK Jr.'s last interview. I recieved a telephone call from an old friend in Brazil, and we exchanged email addresses, so I will send him an email. He is now working for a local Brazilian airline not Varig. Well have a good afternoon, and stay cool. CIO

Note:<888>7/26/99 Monday 10:55 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I stopped by the Greenwich Library, and I read the local paper and Computerworld. I checked out the videotape "Dances with Wolves". I drove down by the harbor and then downtown and just as I started to walk the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, it started to rain in front of Starbucks. I noticed somebody that is living in Greta Garbos old neighborhood around East 52nd street. It reminds me that the Greta Garbo home for wayward boys use to be around St. Vincents Hospital in Greenwich Village, and during World War II, it served as the headquarters for British Intelligence operations. I returned to my car and picked up my umbrella, I bought for $8 at ELDC thrift shop that says Bald Peak Country Club which I think is up in Vermont. After walking the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, I walked in the rain up to the middle of Greenwich Avenue. I returned down the Avenue and met up with one regular walker and said good evening to his wife. I walked back down in the rain with him and stood under the canopy at Thataway restaurant observing the rain. I returned back up the Avenue after chatting, and I then drove down by the harbor. I noticed a graceful yacht at the Greenwich Harbor Inn from Delaware. I returned home, and I had some ice tea; and I filed this report. Well hopefully we will have some more rain this evening, we need it. Have a good evening. I think I will go to bed shortly. CIO

Note:<888>7/26/99 Monday 7:25 P.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last note. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and cashed my $50 Maxtor rebate check. I went over to Midas Muffler on West Putnam Avenue. It seems I need to have the exhaust system replaced from the Catylitic converter on back which included pipes and two muffler pieces which will be about $404. Also I need to have the break fluid replaced which would be another $40. I think I also need to adjust the clutch. Thus I have a bit of maintenance to do on the automobile when I have the funds. I guess I have to consult to see if it is worth doing or not, since the book value on the 1976 Volvo is only $250. I might have a warranty on the old muffler, but they said it was not a Midas muffler. I also stopped by the Hospital thrift shop. I put $14 of premium in my car at Exxon. Well I made my 4 P.M. appointment. I then drove down by the waterfront and chatted with some of the waterfront locals. I went by the Grand Union and bought two Florida Growers Pride half gallon orange juices for $3.19 both, two boneless shell steaks for $4.99 a pound mismarked from $8.99 a pound for $6.44, a Purdue Oven Roaster chicken for .59 cents a pound for $4.07 with store .20 cents a pound off coupon, a Stauffers 20 oz. lasagna for $2.99, a Red Baron cheese pizza for $3.50, and two ears of corn for .40 for $20.59 total. I returned home and I had a Citra soda in a frosted mug. I broiled one of the shell steaks with steamed ear of corn and steamed brocolli along with ice tea, and I am now having iced coffee. I will go out shortly for the usual rounds and stop by the library. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/26/99 Monday 1:05 P.M. EDT: I was up at 9:30 A.M.. had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, five strips of bacon, vitamins, and coffee. I went outside and checked my muffler system underneath the Volvo, and it is all still new and recently installed in parts in the last year or two. I need to take the car to Midas to have them tightened the clamps, so it does not make noice leaking a small amount. I watched an entertaining program on Channel 50 "Mouse Hunt" while optimizing my hard drives. I just checked my mail, and I recieved a shipment of Glucosamine and Chondroitin double strength from a relative for my arthritis. I also recieved the Microsoft Online Learning Resource Kit Volumne 2. I also recieved my Maxtor $50 rebate on the hard drive I bought a couple of month ago. Well after I clean up, I guess I will go to the bank, and then stop by Midas to see if they can tighten the muffler system. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>7/26/99 Monday 3:35 A.M. EDT: Well I ran the antivirus program, and there is no problem. I happened to stumble across this sight from where I was born Robert Wadlow, Tallest Man. Roadside America . Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/26/99 Monday 1:15 A.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while at the post office. I noticed a Japanese beatle in front of Richard or possibly a zakata. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again. I found a women's bracelet by the post office loading driveway in the street. I turned it in at the desk of the Greenwich Police department. It did not feel heavy, so I do not think it was valuable. I walked up to the top of Greenwich Avenue. I viewed the portable truck moving the Cat Scan machine back to the hospital. I walked back down the Avenue. I drove down by the harbor, and I chatted with a resident about recent events. I returned home, and I checked both Microsoft Encarta and the World Book Encyclopedia about the Aga Khan and neither have any mention of him or his descendants, so I guess they don't like being mentioned in encylopedias. I mentioned to the area resident when I was out for all I know Bill Gates is just the front man for somebody richer like the Aga Khan. Well who really knows since I have no plans to visit the Pacific Northwest anytime soom. You figure I never see anyone in computer stores, but the gasoline stations are always busy, so I guess somebody is probably making money off of fossle fuel a non renewable resource. Well have a good morning, and maybe somebody should start researching solar energy again. Well it is still very dry here, but with the upcoming hurricane season, I dare say a little rain might work its way north sooner or later. I also had a glass of vegtable juice. CIO

Note:<888>7/25/99 Sunday 9:35 P.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, and I stopped by the ATM at Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street, which is an enjoyable bank to bank at since they always seem to know whom you are. They also do banking for the town of Greenwich. I then went by CVS and bought a carton of Dutch Treat Sweet cigar cigarettes for $14.19 plus .85 Ct. sales tax for $15.04. I drove down to the center of town, and I chatted with a visitor from Florida about Florida. I surveyed the skyline, and I noticed dark clouds off to the Northwest. I walked down to the Greenwich Harbor Inn, and the clouds to the Northwest looked ominous, so I returned to the center of town and warned a few people about the cloud formation. I drove down by the harbor, and I pointed out the ominous cloud formation to a few of the fisherman. The main body passed just south of Greenwich Harbor. The skyline was still grew to the west, so I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a pound of John Morrell bacon for $1.99, 3 cucumbers for .99, a small bottle of Tabasco sauce for $1.45, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" for $1.29 for $5.72 total. I returned home and I had a diet Sprite. I watched a little bit of the History Channel about Navy boats. I turned on HBO and watched "In and Out". I had some microwave popcorn and a diet Coke in a frost mug while watching it. I also did a C: and D: drive to E: drive and E: drive to C: drive backups. I guess since the weather watch "Warning" Yellow light is off, I will go out for a little fresh air. Have a good evening, and watch the weather NRL Satellite Photo /archive_data/sat/www/atlantic/tropics/ir/LATEST.jpg tropics .CIO

Note:<888>7/25/99 Sunday 3:45 P.M. EDT: I chatted with a family member this morning. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I started cleaning the apartment and watering the plants until 11 A.M. when I fell asleep until 2 P.M.. When I woke up the "Weather Warning" yellow light was on for severe thunder storms probably to the east of us, and it is still on. I finished cleaning the apartment and watering the plants. I had dinner of broiled center cut pork chop, steamed brocolli, steamed corn on the cob, and iced coffee. I also made up a new batch of coffee for iced coffee. I will clean up shortly and go out in about a half hour. I have to reboot the computer. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>7/25/99 Sunday 8:00 A.M. EDT: I was up at 7 A.M.. I updated jfkjrob.htm with a few more pictures. Time for breakfast. CIO

Note:<888>7/24/99 Saturday 9:20 P.M. EDT: I went out again about 5:30 P.M.. I parked in the center of town and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront, and the "Weather Watch" for Severe thunderstorms is still on the NOAA Weather radio for about the last seven hours. I noticed that the front appeared to be passing over the south shore of Long Island, and the weather to the west of us seems like it will be clear for the next few days, of course one needs to check the weather at least every six hours to make sure. It is hot and sultry out. I read in the The Cape Cod Journal - Ahead of the Times that President Clinton is going to be vacationing on Marthas Vineyard again this August for ten days. I hope he keeps an eye towards weather.htm in case any of the southern storms heads up north. Well after viewing the waterfront, I returned to the center of town, and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out at the Post Office for a while. I heard and saw lots of birds in the area, and the tree across from Starbucks and in front of Starbucks are full of hundreds of sparrows. I returned back home at 8 P.M., and I had a Citra soda in a frosted mug. I relaxed and watched a bit of the History Channel on the First Division, the Big Red One. I also had some vegtable juice.

Young fellows are out in the street by the Old Greenwich Elementary school trying to get people to pull over for a car wash. I drove out to Tod's Point, and I walked out to the south east point. I drove to the south west point and listened to the NOAA weather radio. They're expecting Severe Thunder Storms in the New York are late this afternoon and early this evening. My "Watch" yellow light is on the NOAA weather warning system right now. I stopped by Staples and I bought the Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia off a clearence table for $5 and .30 tax for $5.30. I stopped by CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza. They did not have the cigar cigarettes I was looking for, but they have little Dominican cigars in tins on the clearence table for over 50% off. While coming back to town, I noticed about 50 news trucks parked in front of Christ Church for the Bassett memorial. I drove down by the waterfront. I chatted with one local waterfront painter.

I expect possibly storms might come this way this evening, but at the moment they look like they have passed to the south of us. It is warm and sultry out, so enjoy the evening once the sun goes down. CIO

I went out at noon to see if the mailman was here, but he had not arrived. I chatted with a couple of my neighbors. I went upstairs, and I had a Red Baron pizza along with ice tea for lunch. I am making up a new batch of icetea.htm . I guess after the Kennedy funeral, they traditionally have an Irish wake where people are allowed to drink alcohol.
