<888> 08/31/13 Saturday 3:40 P.M..  I ate the other third of the cold meal I prepared earlier with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com .  Living in the Northern Western Hemisphere, one frequently meets people from South America.  When I was in school in Florence, Italy on the www.lfc.edu foreign study program in 1972, one of my classmates Juan Echevarria told me his family has the original Spanish land grant for the country of Columbia, and they were wealthier than the Rockefellers.  Of course I lost track of him after Italy, when I went on the Greece program that spring.  At the time another member of the Echevarria family was the President of Mexico, and his daughter was also at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois.  Lake Forest, Illinois is famous for being the home town of several meat packing families like Armour, Swift, and Cudahy along with new money people from www.mcdonalds.comhttp://www.gaslightclubs.com/ are famous for their beef entrees, but you might have to be better off than most to afford it.  Also older people like myself tend to have high cholesterol, so they do not eat too much red meat.

<888> 08/26/13 Monday 4:30 A.M..  When I came back from Daytona, Florida with John Bolton after spending the winter of 1979 starving down there around the Rockefeller clan eating four ounce cans of tomato paste with spaghetti noodles, I still had $50 in food stamps left, when I arrived at my mother's apartment in Byram, in the spring of 1979.   I was sort of hungry, so I drove over to Bonjornos, and I bought a eight pound roast beef for about $35 with my remaining food stamps.  I recall when my mother's boy friend showed up at the apartment, he looked sort of hungry after being in Florida, so maybe he finished off the roast beef, when John and I left for Nantucket.  That spring in Nantucket nothing was going on, so after working for a couple of weeks doing carpentry, we left the island and returned to John's father house in Port Washington, Long Island, and around July and August of 1979, we lived in my mother's empty apartment after moving her to Kennebunkport, where her boy friend lived, after he had married her.  When the lease ran out, I recall driving around the northeast, we drove to California, and then around December 1979 drove back east to Florida and back to Long Island for the rest of the winter of 1980.  CIO

All of those people whom were once part of the Jimmy Eldert Dutch cult on www.nantucket.net have to remember his birthday is August 28.   He might have one or two other Dutch friends coming from upstate New York, if you get my drift.  Jimmy once told me, when we were all starving down in Key West in the winter of 1977 that as soon as he gets home to Syracuse, New York; he enjoys a big roast beef meal.   CIO

<888> 08/25/13 Sunday 6:50 A.M..  I woke up at 6 A.M..  I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor.  The neighbor told me that the box addressed to me in the mail room with the internet weather station was there yesterday, so it looks like somebody in the building or with access to the building took the box between its delivery at 3:30 P.M., and when I checked around 6 P.M..  Theft of United States mail is a Federal Offence.  I walked around the building.  CIO

<888> 08/25/13 Sunday 3:00 A.M..  I will now take a nap.   I can not go out for a walk, because I have a sore heel on my left foot from walking the entire length of Greenwich Avenue in new Key Largo boat shoes.   If the group of volunteer night time exercise walkers can not survive without me,  I suggest setting lose the local kids to observe downtown.  They are a lot faster and more agile than myself, and they tend to have better vision.  I once met the son of the owner of the http://www.cheeca.com/  during the winter of 1977, when I was hitchhiking from Key West to Fort Lauderdale.   He let me rest for a few hours in his tree house, since I was a bit exhausted from traveling.  I left without saying good bye, since I worried about falling out of the tree house.  If the internet weather station were taken, the person who took it obviously did not know what they were taking.  Since although the device only cost $33 to purchase, one needs a Cable Modem which costs about $60 a month, and one has to subscribe to their service for the internet weather alerts, which is probably $50 to a $100 a year.  Maybe some political conspirator does not like me knowing the weather, but with computers and internet access, I tend to know the weather before I go out anyway.  I just want a device to wake me up in case there is a weather emergency, since the NOAA weather radio warning network does not work in this area.  I always check the weather on the internet before going out.  CIO

<888> 08/24/13 Saturday 9:35 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, 12 ounces glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I went back downstairs, and I chatted with neighbors.  There is no sign of the package around.  Tracking says the package had delivery conformation, so possibly since I was asleep, they did not actually deliver it, although a neighbor says it was delivered to the mail room.  Possibly if the building custodian was around, he locked it away in the custodian's room until he could deliver it.  I left a message for him at the Greenwich Housing Authority at 1-203-869-1138.   I will not being going downtown to file a police report tonight, because the heel on my left foot is still hurting me.  I will wait to see first if the package shows up around Monday afternoon.  If it does not show up, I will contact Amazon about sending another one with secure delivery, and then I will file a police report.  CIO

Banks in Cos Cob that the Shell Station across the street from Whole Foods is closed for renovation.   It looks like they are replacing the fuel tanks.  I then went by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue.  I next sat out for a while downtown enjoying the peace and quiet of the early morning hour.  I did not walk, since my left heel is still bothering me.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  There were about a half dozen fishermen down there.  They have the summer Port-O-Potty there.   There is a nice yacht at the Delamar Hotel http://www.thedelamar.com/ .  Whether it goes anywhere with the price of fuel is not in my data base.   It looks perfectly normal on Steamboat Road from my viewpoint.  I then went by CVS at 644 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought three 12 packs of www.coke.com for $11 and $1.80 can deposit, and buy one get one free of Lays 9 ounce sour cream and onion potato chips and salt and vinegar potato chips for $4.29 both, and buy one get one 50% off CVS 100 yard mint waxed dental floss for $2.99 and $1.49 and .98 tax for $22.55 total.  I then returned home.  I used my little folding cart to bring up the Coca Cola.  I put the folding cart back in the trunk of the Audi.  CIO

<888> 08/21/13 Wednesday 5:00 A.M..  Actually to be technical, in the summer of 1971, when I worked as a COBOL software programmer at the Polaroid manufacturing facility on Interstate 128 in Waltham, Massachusetts, I was not a Polaroid employee.  I was an independent contractor using IBM manuals to write a spread sheet for an www.ibm.com 360 main frame computer, they had leased at the facility.  I also wrote some other smaller programs.  As I recall, they were in a rush to get the spread sheet program working, so after a dismal week at work in late July 1971, somebody I randomly met in at Club Casablanca in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I use to hang out after work gave me a stimulant which I will not mention, and when I went to work the next day on a Friday at the end of the week, the programming problems all came together in my head and after reworking the flow chart and rewriting the program, it ran perfectly on the IBM 360.  I was so burned out, that weekend, I drove down to Wood's Hole, and I caught the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, and the ferry to Chappaquiddick, and I camped out on the beach for two or three days in a northeaster storm at the end of Teddy Kennedy's famous bridge.  I was lucky I was not run over by all of the jeep track I saw in the sand around my camping site.  Later that fall, when I needed three course credit to graduate from Lake Forest College in June 1972, I compiled all of my summer of 1971 computer work together in a presentation, and I was given the three course credits.  I had failed Quantum Mechanics in Calculus twice and a second semester of psychology course as I recall.  However, although I did graduate from www.lfc.edu in the spring of 1972, after I returned from foreign study in Greece, and I got my diploma; I did not learn until around the spring of 1987, when I applied for a job in the legal department at www.ibm.com in White Plains, New York that in all of my years of job hunting Lake Forest College would never release my transcript which included my major in Economics, since I did not pay the additional $7,500 for the three course credits, which were not taken on the college campus but at Polaroid's facility, where I worked.  Lake Forest College never did give me back the computer programming presentation that I presented them, so technically somebody else could have use it and the IBM manuals.  As I recall the spread sheet program was about 1000 to 2000 punch cards.  CIO

<888> 08/19/13 Monday 6:55 P.M..  I went back to bed after the last note.   I woke up at 6 P.M..  I had a telephone call from www.gop.com , and I told them I have been unemployed living on disability income for 30 years, because nobody will hire me, possibly because I am frequently awake all night, when nobody does anything.

<888> 08/19/13 Monday 6:55 A.M..  My left heel is still bothering me after nine days in a row of exercise walking on Greenwich Avenue.  There are still a few younger people left in town whom can not afford to go away on vacation.  Also I have seen a few seniors whom prefer not to travel.  Some people have no place to go, so they just sit in Starbucks all day and surf the free internet.  Since the Internet only costs about $40 to $60 a month, it would seem it would cost more to drive back and forth to Starbucks to use the free internet than, it would cost to have it at home.  It would also seem that using the free internet at Starbucks or at the Greenwich Library would not give an individual as much of a chance to concentrate versus if they used it in their private homes.  However, some people in the library probably do not feel like investing in computer equipment.  Basically there is always somebody willing to take advantage of a free lunch.  However, a lot of younger people travel frequently, so that group of people probably do use the free wireless when it is available in their travels.  I have a weak bladder, so I do not drink coffee or other beverages, when I am downtown.  Also as a cigarette smoke whom needs to quit sometime soon, I enjoy being somewhere, where I can sneak a cigarette.  I also find the conditions of working the internet at Starbucks or the Greenwich Library elbow to elbow with other users a bit crowded like sitting on a subway, when in the comfort of my modest apartment, I have more room to relax and exercise my thoughts away from the Starbucks mentality.  I do not tweet, since I run my own web site, I can post more than 140 words.  Also since I know how to type, I can post a continual stream of information based on what I know versus, what people whom watch television know.  Walter Cronkite at www.cbs.com use to say that a half hour broadcast on the CBS evening news is only two and a half columns of the New York Times, so if one reads information versus being read to, one gets more information, particularly if one knows where to look.  Basically what I see here in Greenwich, Connecticut is different groups of local high school students fighting amongst each other after they leave the local high school.  Since I have a different education back ground and experience, I do not share the same insights that they may have.  CIO

End of Scott's Notes week of 08/18/13

<888> 08/18/13 Sunday 3:25 A.M..  I ate 6 ounces of Wabasi and soy almonds.  I read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmoral_Castle that Queen Victoria used to take up to four hour walks daily.  I have walked a lot, since I started playing a lot of golf around 1957, so I have walked a lot for at least 56 years.  However, one does wear out some times.  I wore my new Key Largo boat shoes while walking this past evening, and my left heel was hurting after the walk.  I guess I should continue with my Reebok walking sneakers and other better walking shoes.  I guess since I still walk a bit, I will be continuing to walk a bit more as long as I am fit.  I do have bad arthritis, so I do not walk on rainy or damp days.  I will now send out my weekly notes.  I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO

<888> 08/15/13 Thursday 10:20 P.M..  I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown to CVS on Greenwich Avenue.  I bought buy one get one 50% off of CVS 1 liter multi-action mouthwash for $6.79 and $3.39 and buy one get one free of 14 packs of CVS AA alkaline batteries for $7.29 both packs and $1.11 tax for $18.58 total.  I then went further downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  They are now using cream and milk and half and half pitchers instead of sealed 2 ounce containers, so technically somebody could spike them with poison or other substance.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought a 50 foot pocket hose for $19.99 less $5 off with a 25% off CVS coupon and .95 tax for $15.94 total.  On the way down Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by CVS again, and they did not have any garden hose spray nozzles left.  I put the pocket hose in the trunk of the Audi.  We are not allowed to wash cars or work on them at my public housing project, so if I were to wash the car, it would have to be somewhere, where there is a spare spigot.  I do now feel like putting the Audi through the car wash, since with the passenger's side front window propped up with a board, it might come down in the car wash.  Next I went by the Stop and Shop.  I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.69, a Smart Living Grounded 6-Outlet Tap for $5.49, two 2 chicken leg and 2 thigh dinners with two scoops of mashed potatoes for $2.99 each dinner with a dollar off each with the Manager's coupon for $1.99 each, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $3.29, a package of reduced produce plum tomatoes for $1.34 for $16.14 total.  I then went by Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $11.05 of self service V-Power gasoline for $4.649 a gallon for 2.376 gallons at odometer reading of 72945 miles for 25.4 miles driven since Wednesday August 7, 2013 for 10.691 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then cleaned the outside Audi windows.  I then went by CVS on West Putnam Avenue, but they do not carry a hose nozzle.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail.  I installed the 6 outlet tap on the center kitchen counter plug, where the faulty IBM one had been.  Thus the Sharp Convection microwave oven should work just fine now.  CIO

<888> 08/15/13 Thursday 2:30 A.M..  I loved the smell of fresh baked bread, and I can always sniff out bakeries at night.  When I used to walk around Manhattan occasionally at night from 1973 until around 1999, I sniffed out a bakery on Seventh Avenue just below Christopher Street just south of the Buffalo Road House.  They told me they baked all of the baked good for the Manhattan restaurants.  When I used Fred's apartment at 420 East 49th street occasionally from October 1973 until February 1975, there was a bakery on the southeast corner of 49th Street and 2nd Avenue that use to get fresh croissants flown in on the Concorde every morning from Paris, France.  Further uptown on the east side of First Avenue between 54th street and 55th street, there was a bakery; where I once saw John and Yoko Ono Lennon.  When I lived on West 74th street, there was a Polish bakery on West 72nd street between Broadway and West End Avenue.  When I was camping out in Nantucket in the summer of 1975, I used to work at the Nantucket bakery on Orange Street at night and the early morning hours.  I learned the recipe for Portuguese bread was the same as the French bread recipe, but the loaves are shaped differently.  I also worked at Henry's Bakery in the summer of 1977 on Steamboat Wharf in Nantucket at night and the early morning hours making their grinder rolls, donuts, and Portuguese bread.  When I visited Washington D.C., around February 1983, I stayed at the Georgetown Inn, and there was a bakery next door that claimed they baked two million croissants everyday for the Washington D.C. public.  I used to buy croissants at the St. Moritz bakery on Greenwich Avenue, until they got a bit too expensive.  There use to a restaurant across from the movie theatre on Railroad Avenue here in Greenwich called Rue du Croissants, where I had a turkey croissant with Cliff Robertson and Dina Merrill on my first Christmas back in Greenwich in 1983.  We also have a large commercial bakery in Byram, Connecticut which amongst other items makes Thomas' English muffins.  They get their grain in large grain trucks from the Archer Daniel Midland Company in Decatur, Illinois.  I have relatives in Kennebunkport, Maine whom have a neighbor that owns a large chain of commercial bakeries.  On the west of the Byram River in Greenwich, Connecticut; there used to be a Baker's Union office also.  I also used to know somebody that lived above a bakery in Irvington, New York about 22 years ago.  However, he just did cooking shows on television in Nantucket and Key West, before working at the Chart House in Dobbs Ferry, New York.  Since his family were in the gourmet meat business in Minnesota, I guess he enjoyed the roast beef at the Chart House in Dobbs Ferry, New York; which is not there anymore.  Of course 16 ounce of roast beef there is now $34, when it used to be $13 http://www.chart-house.com .  The last time I spoke with the individual, he told me he was going to Dental School at www.columbia.edu .  I first me him, when I came off Nantucket in December 1983, and he was staying at the Swiss Hotel just west of the Waldorf.  CIO

<888> 08/14/13 Wednesday 4:20 A.M..  On a beta testing note, on Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview installing on the second partition on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer, the Store application comes up, but it will not install any of the free applications even when signed into one's Microsoft account.  Also Internet Explorer 11 crashes, and it is caused by the Shockwave add-on, which I disabled, and then it runs fine.  If one needs to watch Multimedia content, one can use the Firebox web browser with the Adobe Flash Player.  However, all of this does not happen on Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview on the IBM ThinkCentre beta machine in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room, the last time I looked.  It works just fine on the IBM machine.  All old computers and laptops are not the same. 

There are these older versions of Adobe Flash http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_Flash_Player_versions_for_developers , but the Adobe Flash files are write protected on the beta machine, so I can not remove them to try an older version, which would probably mean one can not also over write them too.  I do know Internet Explorer 11 with Adobe Flash worked in the Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview released in early June 2013.  CIO

<888> 08/14/13 Wednesday 12:45 A.M..  I am not Roman Catholic, but Presbyterian, Episcopal, Anglican, and Dutch Reform depending on my mood.  However, having lived around a lot of Roman Catholics or "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackerel_snapper"s most of my life, I have learned a bit about them.  One obscure fact is the Chicago, Illinois Roman Catholic archdiocese is suppose to be the wealthiest one in the world, so they can afford to feed their priests http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cardinal_Cody .  Back in February 1982, when I was last in Key West, Florida, I met somebody who told me he was Cardinal Cody, and he was living simply in a tent with two alter boys at Boyd's Campground at Boca Chica just east of Key West.  I guess it was a cold winter in Chicago, since it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan at the time after Mount St. Helens had erupted 22 months before.  He told me his sister in Montréal owned 25% of Molson beer in Montreal http://www.molsoncoors.com/ , so I guess some Catholics do drink a beer or two.  CIO

<888> 08/07/13 Wednesday 4:25 P.M..  I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I chatted with a couple of locals.  I have the idea that since http://www.library.illinois.edu/ has sixty million books, Google could scan them and put them on the internet.  I noticed a U-Haul truck on Greenwich Avenue in front of the Greenwich Avenue entrance to the Greenwich Hardware store advertising robotic machinery for searching under the water in Crater Lake, Oregon.  However, Crater Lake is surround by bears, so one would have to be careful in exploring the area.  I also saw a van from http://www.earthlink.net/ on Greenwich Avenue from Melville, Long Island.  When I first got on the internet over 20 years ago, I met somebody from Concord, Massachusetts who worked at Marx Brothers on Greenwich Avenue, and he was a retired Navy pilot, and the last time I chatted with him, he was going to work for EarthLink next to the www.un.org .  I stopped by CVS, and I used the bathroom.  I picked up a prescription.  I bought two 7 ounce Glade Linen Fresh air freshener for buy one get one free for $1.77 and $.88 and .17 tax for $2.82 total.  I chatted with somebody handing out http://leaflinesalads.com/ menus outside of their new shop.  They gave me a free menu.  I told them in the old days in Manhattan in the 1970s, the skinny people which included me used to eat Watercress Salads with Dijon Vinaigrette dressing.  After my walk, I sat out a for a while.  I brought my umbrella, so it did not rain.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 7 ounce package of Stop and Shop deli sliced provolone cheese for $3.39, deli sliced Stop and Shop premium cooked ham for $5.99 a pound for $5.90, two 24 ounce B&G Kosher dill pickle spears for $2 each jar, two cooked spicy potato wedges with a dollar off manager's coupon each for .85 and .87 and 60 cent can return for $14.41 total.  I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $19.01 of self service premium V-Power gasoline with a dime a gallon off with my Stop and Shop card for $4.549 a gallon for 4.180 gallons at odometer reading of 72920 miles for 44.4 miles driven since Monday July 22, 2013 for 10.622 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then returned home, and I put away my groceries.  CIO

<888> 08/05/13 Monday 10:20 P.M..   BCD Editor was not able to fix the Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview boot manager with Windows 7.  I fixed the same way as mentioned yesterday in my notes.  First I boot the Windows 7 DVD and select repair to put Windows 8.1 enterprise preview in the Windows 7 boot manager, and then I fix it further by booting the Windows 8.1 DVD and selecting repair, advanced, and then fixing the Windows 8.1 boot manger.  However, now that both partitions boot and are activated, I can not back it up with Windows 7.  I lose the Windows 8 manger when I restore the Windows 7 backup after installing and configuring the Windows 8.1 partition which I have to restore the Windows 7 backup, since installing Windows 8.1 brings up product activation on the Windows 7 partition, which I have known for a long time.  CIO

<888> 08/05/13 Monday 9:20 P.M..  I chatted with a relative.  I will try http://visual-bcd-editor.en.softonic.com/ to fix the boot manager on the beta machine instead of the Win 7 and Win 8 DVD repair method, after I finish the backup shortly.  Maybe that will permit backups with the fixed boot manager.  CIO   

<888> 08/05/13 Monday 8:55 P.M..  Good news, the backup is working.  Thus I am backing up both partitions with the first partition Windows 7 backup program.  If I had fixed the boot manager first as I did last night, it would not work.  Thus there is a work around for two partition booting of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview.  However, in reality once I have configured the beta machine, I never even use the machine, since there is no more beta work to do at this point.  CIO  

<888> 08/05/13 Monday 8:40 P.M..  I threw out the shipping boxes.  I have configured the beta machine, and I am just about ready to try a backup to the Seagate Go Flex 2 TB external hard drive which might work, since I have not fixed the boot manager yet.  CIO

<888> 08/04/13 Sunday 10:35 P.M..  I chatted with a relative.  When I repaired the boot manager on the beta machine, the Windows 7 backup would not work again.  Since on a similar IBM ThinkCentre dual boot Windows 7 Windows 8 machine by the Ethan Allen recliner, the backup program does work, it would seem that there is a flaw in the Windows 8.1 preview that somehow when dual boot is enabled, the Windows 7 backup will not work.  When it does not work, it says there is not enough room on the external hard drive, when there is plenty of room.  I could restore the Windows 7 backup that I made on the beta machine, and then do a backup of both partitions, and then fix the boot manager, but it is not necessary to back up the beta partition from my viewpoint.  CIO  

<888> 08/04/13 Sunday 8:55 P.M..  On the IBM ThinkCentre beta computer, after the Windows Update on the backup restore, I went to back up the system to the Seagate Go Flex 2 TB external hard drive.  The program showed that the second partition with Windows 8.1 preview was still on the system.  I backed up the first partition.  I am now doing another backup of the first partition to the Western Digital external hard drive.  Instead of installing Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview, I will just restore the boot managers in the method mentioned below, and continue with Windows 8.1 Preview for now.  However, the good news is that with the earlier Windows 7 partition restored, the backup program now works.  CIO

<888> 08/04/13 Sunday 7:40 P.M..  I rested until now after the last note.   I am just about done installing the updates on the backup restore on the beta machine of the first partition.  CIO

<888> 08/03/13 Saturday 1:30 P.M.  As a matter of political expedience, when I first graduated from www.lfc.edu in Lake Forest, Illinois, I stayed with a friend on their grandmother's estate in Lake Forest.  The grandmother supposedly owned Morgan Stanley, and the friend knew Billy Morgan who was the www.amway.com sales person in Lake Forest, Illinois.  He also produced Rolls Royce commercials, when he was not going to Lake Forest Academy, which he had to attend after running away from home as a kid, and attending www.yale.edu as a teenager, so he was a big kid.  When I left the quaint town of Lake Forest to try to make money in Chicago, they were not very friendly to republicans.  I lived with a college roommate who was a social worker for the Illinois Unemployment Commission in the Attorney General's Office.  It was a small second floor apartment next to the Merchandise Mart, the Medina Masonic Temple, and near the 40 story www.ibm.com building and across the street from the Chicago Red Cross ambulance fleet, so it was a very noisy environment after the rural environment of Lake Forest.  We found a better three room apartment at 31 East Elm Street near the Drake Hotel for $400 a month in a neighborhood where a relative of www.navistar.com also lived, but being a republican party member in Chicago, I could not get a good job.  I worked briefly as a taxi cab drive, the day E. Howard Hunt's wife's plane dropped out the sky over Chicago and before Christmas Time at I. Magnum opening boxes of dresses.  We quickly went bankrupt when a friend related to www.bbh.com tried to move in, and I returned back east to Boston driving through Buffalo to drop him off with a Mercedes Diesel sedan that I owed about $1,250 on to the Midwest Bank of Lake Forest.  My father sold it pay off the debt, and around the first of the year in 1973, I moved in with my sister and her fiancée in the Manhattan Yorkville neighborhood of East 89th street to try to find a job, and my father gave me $5 a week to live on, which really was not enough money after making about $200 a week before that.  I did see somebody that looked like the Duke of Windsor entering the Waldorf Towers in January 1973, when I was visiting there with Hurley Haywood who I had driven down to Florida with around September 1972, before visiting another roommate in St. Thomas and returning to Chicago.  CIO

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 5:45 P.M.  I moved the Audi to its usual place.  CIO 

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 5:25 P.M.  I took a Pyrex glass pie dish, and I put a couple of tablespoons of Smart Balance Spread in the center, and then I rubbed its bottom with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, and then I rinsed the filet of flounder underneath cold water, and I put it in the Pyrex pie dish, and I rubbed the top of the flounder with extra virgin olive oil, and then I poured about a quarter of a cup of Stop and Shop lemon juice over the flounder into the dish, and I seasoned the flounder with Old Bay Seasoning and Italian seasoning, and I put it on a raised rack in the Sharp convection over at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.  The Sharp convection over quit working almost immediately, but I was able to get it going by connecting its extension cord directly into the outlet, and pressing the clear button and resetting the clock time, but it took a while of trying to do it.  However, on the second try, it worked.  I ate the flounder with its juices on a dinner plate with the reheated spicy potato wedges and 20% of the Chef's salad I made yesterday with the same dressing and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and Stop and Shop lemon juice.  I checked the mail a couple of times, but it had not arrived.  CIO

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 3:20 P.M.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I chatted with two locals.  I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar at the Greenwich Cigar store, and I won two dollars for a dollar profit.  I was told the new Canadian owner of Saks Fifth Avenue lives here in Greenwich.  I toured CVS, and I used the bathroom.  I chatted with the Chase Bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue to see if they had any Dutch coins with the Dutch King on them Members of the Royal Dutch House , but they do not.  They said I should go to a coin store.  I suppose one could order them off the internet http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=147799 and FREE SHIPPING - 10 EURO COINCARD 2013 NETHERLANDS * WILLEM ALEXANDER * .  I stopped by http://www.jackwills.com/en-us/home , and I shot the breeze.   After my walk, I went by the Stop and Shop.  I bought a six pack of Fiber One English muffins for $1.99, a prepared spicy potato wedges for $1.64 with a dollar off manager's coupon for .64, and filet of previously frozen flounder for $5.99 a pound for $2.34 for $4.97 total.  I then returned home, and I chatted with neighbors.  CIO  

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 11:15 A.M.  I called up the Greenwich Police Department non emergency number at 1-203-622-8000 to let them know the NOAA weather radio emergency broadcasts do not work at this location.  I put the old Oregon Scientific NOAA weather radio back in its box underneath the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer stand at the apartment entrance.  It does not work either.  The older Radio Shack NOAA weather radio in the bedroom does not work either.  I would say it is safe to assume the NOAA weather radio signal does not work at this location.  I will now shower and clean up and go downtown.  CIO

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 10:50 A.M.  I setup the Midland NOAA weather radio on the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance.  I set it to receive alerts from Fairfield, Westchester, New Haven, Bronx, New York City, Nassau, and Suffolk counties.  I hooked up the external wire antenna to it also.  However, it only gets static, and it does not receive any of NOAA weather information.  I will leave it on in case there is the possibility of receiving alerts.  I also put three AA alkaline batteries in it.  CIO

<888> 08/02/13 Friday 9:25 A.M.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, 12 ounces of 50% punch with 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.

<888> 08/01/13 Thursday 11:55 A.M.  I made 108 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching Series 3 Episodes 4 of "Warehouse 13".  All of the old debris is now cleared away from the old central Greenwich Fire House, where it used to be, so I guess they will be starting on the new construction there soon.  On lower Greenwich Avenue on the east side where the new building is being built the northern half of it is all framed in, and they are starting the foundation work on the southern half.  Further up the street on the west side where the two old buildings were taken down, they are starting on construction.  Also just north of that where the Chinese restaurant used to be, they are working on renovating that building. http://leaflinesalad.com/ is now opened at the top of Greenwich Avenue at the Pickwick Plaza.  CIO
