Note: <888> 08/31/12 Friday 7:45 P.M. If one looks at List of Norwegian monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , one will see that when I visited Oslo, Norway at the end of February 1983 and the beginning of March 1983, after a few days at the Y.M.C.A., I moved to the West Hotel behind the Royal Palace. When I went out for my daily walks, I would walk through the gate walkway underneath the palace, and I would frequently see King Olav V walking around the Palace Grounds in a black rain coat. Thus I have seen King Olav V, which is why I tend to see a lot of other Norwegians as few as they may be. The current Norwegian family have their own web site kongehuset.no - English . When I was in Amsterdam in February 1992, I chatted with three young teenage Dutch boys Home - Het Koninklijk Huis who were singing songs in a local pub. CIO

Of course back in 1969 to 1971, when I worked as a Bank Teller at the Midwest Bank of Lake Forest, Illinois while going to www.lfc.edu where I majored in Economics, I was earning about $5 and hour which would be $200 for a 40 hour week, and since back then Gold was $32 an ounce, I was earning 6.25 ounces of Gold a week, which by today's standards with Gold at Gold Price at $1,690.78 an ounce would be $1,690.78 times 6.25 ounces would be $10,567.375 a week or $549,503.50 a year which was what I would have been earning back then, so it goes to show how much inflation of money there has been in this country since then. Back then fuel oil was also 12 cents a gallon. CIO

I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar Store, and I played a "High 5" scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by CVS and used the bathroom. I bought four 18.8 ounce cans of Campbell's New England clam chowder for $2 each for $8 total. I chatted with a local walker. On the way down Greenwich Avenue, I was told the new coffee shop "CFCF" will be opening next week. I sat out for a while after my walk. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought two ears of sweet corn on the cob for 33 cents each, a 48 ounce container of Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.99, a 10.4 pound shank portion whole cooked ham for $1.49 a pound for $15.60 less a $2 off meat coupon and less $1.15 can return for $18.10 total.

The Luce family were nothing but Chinese missionaries when they started the magazine many years ago, so I guess the people who fund out of control missionaries will quit their funding.

I have been under the care of psychiatrist for 28 years, since I moved back to Greenwich, Connecticut off of Nantucket. I have Schizophrenia Affective Disorder.
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5566937_schizophrenia-affective-disorder.html

It might have come from exposure to toxins when I was a youth, since my Father was a Chemical Engineer around hazardous chemicals. I take my medication and see a psychiatrist regularly. I need to get my rest and maintain a quiet routine, and I seem to do well. Also the medication that they have me on is 1 MG of Risperidone twice a Day. CIO
Note: <888> 08/23/12 Thursday 3:20 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I ate a slice of Swiss cheese, 20 cherry tomatoes, and three scoops of coffee ice cream. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed for the day. I emailed my friend from Brazil that I would probably be too tired to have him visit, but he might come up here anyway. Younger people seem to have the means of travel, but at my age I need more rest to keep focused on my internet routines. Also when I am awake at night, there are very few other people awake at night anymore, since most of the people seem to prefer to be awake in the daytime. I guess at night since one has to use electric lights, it is more expensive to be awake at night than living off sunshine. CIO

I noticed the Valley Road Post Office has some pretty sloppy gardening for Greenwich, Connecticut, but perhaps they are trying to make it more naturally environmental without cutting the grass. Some people think one should not cut the grass and let it grow tall. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I toured CVS. The new coffee shop up the street from J. Crew looks to be almost complete, but it does not seem to have a name yet. I noticed after I finished my walk, and I was sitting out downtown that Google Camera was photographing the Greenwich Avenue area with their lime green car with round dome camera elevated over the car. I told a few people about it. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a local patron and two reference librarians. I read www.pcworld.com . There is a way to add the Windows Media Center to Windows 8 by clicking a corner and using Search and searching for "Add Features", but I forget the rest, but it might explain.

For people in the Know, there is a group of local residents in Greenwich, Connecticut that stand out at the Greenwich Town Hall on the first day of the year that it is opened to get Camping Permits for Captains Island out in Long Island Sound. I think they allow one or two families to camp out there every night in the summer, so depending on the weather, various families have different experiences enjoying the view of Manhattan. CIO
Note: <888> 08/20/12 Monday 12:40 A.M. I called up www.cvs.com at 1239 East Putnam Avenue in Riverside, Connecticut at the Riverside Plaza, and I chatted with their manager. I gave him a briefing. I was told on the Back to School Specials sale, the CVS truck has not come in yet. Also only the smaller Hot and Spicy bags of Chex Mix are on sale for 10 for $10, but they don't have any yet. As many long time residents know Interstate 95 is called the Governor John Davis Lodge turnpike. When I lived in Nantucket at 31 India Street, I used to see Henry Cabot Lodge III at the Dory restaurant every morning, when I had breakfast there if I were not eating at the restaurant that I worked at. Henry Cabot Lodge III was Richard Nixon's ambassador to Viet Nam, and his son Henry Cabot Lodge IV worked for Bill Cary who owned a lot of real estate in Manhattan. However, in Boston the Lodges only talk to the Lowells and the Lowells only talk to the Cabots and the Cabots only talk to God. On a minor note, back in 1982 when Ronald Reagan was President of the Unites States of America, he disbanded the Anti Terrorist task force in Manhattan, and he moved the United States Military headquarters for the Northeast from Manhattan to Fort Devans in Lowell, Massachusetts, so the Federal people whom were in Manhattan when I lived there up until February 1982 are probably no longer there anymore. Of course there is probably a younger generation of Boy Scouts doing something besides buying beans on Wall Street. CIO

Back in the period from October 1973 to February 1975, when I used to use Fred Von Mierer's apartment in Manhattan at 420 East 49th Street, occasionally, there was a person in the neighborhood that looked like Bill Clinton and was Bill Clinton's age, and he once even visited Fred's apartment. He told me his boss lived in the neighborhood, and Ted Kennedy did have an apartment at East 54th street and First Avenue and Henry Kissinger lived at East 52nd Street East of First Avenue. Of course Billy Baldwin was personal friends of the Duke of Windsor, so there were also quite a few British people in the neighborhood. Billy Baldwin as I recall lived west of Third Avenue on 60th Street. Of course Fred was frequently at Barbara Rockefeller's townhouse on East 67th street just off Fifth Avenue, so I figured Fred met a lot of his friends there. The most senior Federal official to visit my apartment at 71 Vinci Drive in the 22 years that I have lived here is Larry Berger who is an www.fbi.gov official at Two Federal Plaza in Manhattan. He also looks like Bill Clinton too. He bought the Buick station wagon from me. CIO

Since their computers did not show the right price, I had to convince them that as the circular said, they are ten for $10. They tried to convince me that was a smaller bag, but I know from experience that is the only size bag they make. I then drove down the World Famous Greenwich Avenue, and the Greenwich Fire Department was out in force in front of the www.apple.com computer store.

I then drained the linguine and hot water into a colander sitting on top another large pot, and I dumped out the hot water in the bathroom sink to clean out the drain. I put the cooked linguine in a large mixing bowl, and I added a half cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a quarter of a cup of extra virgin olive oil, and I mixed it all together. I then added the heated Alfredo mixture, and I mixed it all together.

Note: <888> 08/16/12 Thursday 7:50 A.M. As I recall, back on August 16, 1977, when Elvis died Elvis Presley (American singer and actor) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia , I was working at the Gordon Folger hotel in Nantucket as a $2.15 an hour pot scrubber. However, about that time, I think I first started working at the Le Languedoc Bistro a Nantucket Restaurant and Inn. Serving French cuisine on Nantucket for over 30 Years as pot scrubber for $2.85 an hour, and I was living at Flossie's Flop House at 31 India Street in Nantucket just east of Jim Eldert at the India House and just west of Fred Von Mierers at John Rugg's house. However, that summer I was so busy washing pots after starving in south Florida the winter before, I only saw them once or twice, although they were neighbors. However, I did see a lot of other people. I was staying in the front bedroom of 31 India Street with three other various boarders. I was working up to 80 hours a week. On my one day a week off, I would buy a $2 bottle of French white wine and try to find some place quiet to relax and drink it. I remember once sitting out at the Carnival which was there and talking to the baby Elephant after the carnival had closed. CIO

If IBM ever comes down from Mount Armonk, I have noticed in the foot hills of Byram, Connecticut, we have three 24 hour gasoline stations and mini marts on West Putnam Avenue along with the 24 hour CVS with pharmacy. I think over in downtown Byram, there might be a 24 hour Laundromat besides the one in Cos Cob. I noticed for any of the night shift employees Davy Byrnes tavern is still opened nearby in Port Chester, New York. A friend of mine that was a local landscaper use to like going there to see the wild side of Greenwich. The Black Sheep tavern and Willow Street are no longer in Port Chester, New York as far as I know, and the pub in White Plains near the Public Works department is long since gone. I don't know where the younger generation go in the early morning hours anymore, but some of them probably still work at night. In the news business in the old days chatting with people in pubs could be informative, since people when they are having a drink tend to talk more freely for what its worth. I noticed about 22 years ago, when I use to talk about computers in pubs everyone would tune me out, and a friend was given a videotape on the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. I guess the Wall Street crowd around here overwhelms the computer nerds. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Bush was sworn in as President of the United States of America, I got to meet Congressman Christopher Shays in his office in Washington D.C.. I noticed he had a statue of Abraham Lincoln in his office. However, it never lead to a job for me in government, since I guess I do not have any qualifications they need, particularly since I prefer to live in the Nordic area of America in Greenwich, Connecticut. I did email him about trying to get funding for my volcano directory when I used to work on it. I asked for $50,000 to further my efforts. However, I guess the government considered the problem too serious for me to handle, so they turned down my request; but shortly thereafter they gave Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) a billion dollars for volcanic research, but as far as I can tell, they do not publish any information about volcanoes on their web site as major links, but this search shows what they have available Search LLNL - Results: volcano . More than likely with their super computers, they are doing some sort of volcano modeling on super computers. Possibly it is on a Need to Know Basis. CIO

Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 6:25 P.M. Since about a month ago, the Greenwich Housing Authority or the Town of Greenwich Highway Department posted a sign at the entrance of Vinci Drive that "No Animals are Allowed" technically since people are Animals, people are not allowed on this property either. I was told that the local tenants did not like people walking their dogs, since they did not clean up after their dogs. Technically, the sign probably should say "No Dog Walkers Allowed". However, I regarded the dog walkers from the neighborhood as a good Neighborhood Watch, and they used to have a sign that said "Neighborhood Watch" which I don't see anymore. Also since I have lived here for 22 years and spend a great deal of time outside observing particularly at night, when I am coming and going from downtown Greenwich Avenue, I have seen a number of wild animals on the property. The wild animals I have seen are skunks as big as raccoons, great horn owls that eat skunks, red tail fox, deer and fawns, raccoons, bunny rabbits, and the most memorable animal was a Carolina or Texas Red Wolf that sort of looks like an all tan German Shepard. They are extremely dangerous, and they can even take down cattle, so humans are no match for them. We also had a young two year old black bear in the neighborhood about two months ago. Since we live in a building over a hundred years old, there could also be any number of types of spiders in the building. I have seen some pretty nasty looking spiders around the building, but I don't know much about spiders. Also last summer at this time, we had a young baby black panther or puma walk along side the building that I saw. Of course with the woodland area on the property, Connecticut woods do have rattlesnakes and copperheads. CIO

This is a
message from the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut Police Department .
Yesterday's storm damaged a major transmission line responsible for the delivery
of electric power to the Town of Greenwich. The damaged transmission line

a state of emergency at 10:15 a.m. today and the municipality has opened it's
Emergency Operations Center. At this juncture, Connecticut Light and Power
representatives have advised the Town that repairs will take 6 to 8 hours. To
avoid further power problems, CL&P must restore power to the Town by sections in
a process which may take an additional 2 to 4 hours.
During the power outage, many traffic control signals may not be operating.
Metro-North trains are currently not operating west of the Cos Con RR station.
Residents are encouraged to use extra caution when traveling. Any business or
residence that utilizes the municipal sewer system can help us by conserving

An additional message will be broadcast via this system if power is not
restored in the anticipated timeframe or if other important information becomes
available.

I went through most of my spare computer parts, and I can not find it anywhere. I took all of the lose computer parts behind the Harvard Chair on the shelf in the stereo entertainment center, and I put them in a plastic garbage bag that I store underneath the adjacent mahogany telephone table. The only other place I can think it might be is somewhere unknown in the bedroom. I don't really need it, since the TrendNet router had a USB print server for all of the computers on the network except the primary work computer and the FIC server. The flashlight bulb in the stainless steel flashlight burned out, so I put a spare bulb in it. CIO
