I will now go outside again. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 6:10 A.M. On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF that I moved to the bedroom desk, I also transferred the Logitech MK 570 wireless keyboard and wireless mouse from the Mac Mini to it. I also have a good Logitech webcam on it and a good Microsoft headset on it, so it is all setup and good for a smaller person to use. The Mac Mini is not connected to the LAN, since I have only one spare LAN port. The Mac Mini is not connected to the HP wireless laser printer, and it uses a cheaper wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 5:15 A.M. The fully configured Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop is all setup on the bedroom desk connected to the 42 inch ONN TV monitor and the HP Laser Printer.
I will now go outside and drink a decaf brewed coffee. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 3:45 A.M. I ordered another Dell Desktop computer without hard drive https://www.ebay.com/itm/275947901432?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m2368.l2649&plmtId=700009&mesgId=3041&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=43045220510&trkId=b365b401-1f7a-40d7-8e13-e301666f8bff&cnvId=700003&recoId=275947901432&recoPos=3 for $29.99 and $1.90 tax for $31.89 total.
I also ordered a Display to HDMI adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017Q8ZVWK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for $8.45 and .54 tax for $8.99 total. I have a new 240 GB SSD drive for it, and I also have a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard for it. I will buy the product keys later from https://royalcdkeys.com/ .
I will put it on the desk to the right side of the primary work computer, and I will move the new Dell Optiplex 790 SFF from there to the bedroom desk right now.
Maybe with the hurricane down south some people once familiar with this area returned up north. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 3:15 A.M. Just the old skinny black cat outside that is always around. They even name a cheap wine Chile after it called, "Chat Noir."
From what I read, a black timber wolf would have long hair, and the black wolf that I saw had short hair. Maybe it is a black Carolina Red Wolf or a black Texas Red Wolf. It looked very healthy and well fed. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 2:35 A.M. One Ipad is 33% charged, another is 65% charged, and the third was not charging, but now I have it plugged in all the way and is charging.
The way I figured it the wolves are always around in this area, but since I am out smoking at night, they like showing off to me, so they can get more attention. They know there is not much food in this area, so they probably head over to Port Chester to get a bite to eat. I have been told a She Wolf with her cubs is very dangerous.
Black Wolf Information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_wolf There is a Wolf Sanctuary in South Salem, New York that I have seen. In Wilton, Connecticut; there is a Wolf Pit Road. Rome, Italy was started Romulus and Remus who were twins raised by a She Wolf. I once met some relative's children in Down State Illinois, and they liked playing with Wolf Cubs in the Woods. Well, it is a very healthy looking black wolf that I saw. Wolf Man Jack used to live in this area. Since I have seen three different wolves in the past week with two this morning, I think it is save to say there is a wolf pack in this area. I once saw a Timber Wolf in Old Greenwich, when Tod's Point flooded after Hurricane Gloria.
Maybe it is just a big black German Shepard that got away.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 1:50 A.M. I think I will try to rest for a while. Maybe I should try to get on a day schedule to avoid the local wolves at night. CIO
!!!!!! 08/31/23 Thursday 1:10 A.M. Just now heading west from the woods by the visitors' parking lot, I saw a big black wolf followed by a slightly smaller brownish type wolf with a bushy tail. I called up my neighbor with the small little dog that is always barking that senses it. That is now three wolves. I think elderly disabled people awake at night should be allowed to smoke in their apartments instead of being used as wolf bait. CIO
08/31/23 Thursday 12:35 A.M. I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue. I bought four 20 ounce cans of Stop and Shop pineapple chunks for $1.69 each, two 7 ounce Green Giant frozen Brussels sprouts in butter sauce for $1.50 each, a 48 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.99, a six ounce bag of baby Spinach for $3.99, and two 48 ounce Ocean Spray diet cranberry juice for $3.49 each for $26.82 total. I put my food in the car, and I went back inside, and I bought a roast beef sandwich for $6.43 total. I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought a Snapple no sugar ice tea for $2.51. I then drove down to the Board of Education Veterans Monument, and I had a picnic of the roast beef sandwich and no sugar ice tea. Hardly anyone was around. Bartlett Dairy was delivering as usual to www.starbucks.com . I sat out for a long time. I then went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $15.04 of self service premium gasoline for $4.899 a gallon for 3.069 gallons at odometer reading of 124626 miles for 44 miles driven since Sunday August 13, 2023 for 14.337 miles per gallon in local traffic. I then returned home. I put away the groceries. I put the grey bag back in the car. I drank a brewed coffee outside.
I once read the former governor and recently diseased Lowell Weicker had a house in Cedar Key https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66662777 in Florida which was heavily damaged, so maybe other people from this area are down there. I have read over the years that as the East Coast of Florida got more built up, some of the more established people like the Rockefellers has simple houses at Boca Grand on the West Coast of Florida. I have not read if it was damaged too. One of the Ipads is now 18% charged up. I saw someone in the Stop and Shop with a www.nantucket.net shirt.
I will now go outside again. CIO
08/30/23 Wednesday 9:30 P.M. I went outside again.
I am trying to charge up the three old Ipads to see if they hold a charge. I took the fourth one that holds a full charge, and I put it in a case, and I placed it on top of the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet. The four Ipads all have cases, but when I get the new third generation Ipad, I do not need a case, since I will put it on the Phillips stand behind the primary work computer chair.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
!!!!!! 08/30/23 Wednesday 8:45 P.M. I found the three Apple Ipads. They were on the left side of the second shelf of the stainless steel stand in front of the left living room closet. Thus I have four Ipads beside the two new ones coming. CIO

When I occasionally got a day off, I would buy a dollar bottle of French White Wine, and sip it in some private location. French wine on the east coast by sea can be cheaper than expensive California wine shipped via land.
I will now go outside again. CIO
08/29/23 Tuesday 10:40 P.M. I rested until 10 P.M.. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. I saw people yesterday from www.nantucket.net back in Greenwich. I was once told the best time out on Nantucket was after Labor Day, when the tourist season is over. Because Nantucket is near the Gulf Stream it stays warmer in the Fall out there, and the flowers were still out in the first week of December 1983, when I returned to Greenwich. However, in the winter out there, the harbor can freeze making it hard for the ferry service to run with supplies from the mainland. I am not sure whether or not they have ice breakers or not. I have seen pictures on the internet with Nantucket all iced over in the Winter, when they have a ice storm. The locals used to hang out in the Atlantic Cafe downtown, where they were allowed to charge food and drink, and they would go back to work in April to pay off their debts. Nantucket Looms used to be on main street on Nantucket, where they wove white rough wool products, but in the winter, the same people were down in Key West with Key West fabrics that made light tropical designs. The latest I was ever in Nantucket was the first week of December 1983, and the earliest I was ever in Nantucket was the first week of April 1977, when I ran into life guards from Nova Scotia on the beach, and when they saw me back on the island, they returned to Nova Scotia. Ian Greenshield who did odd jobs and was Jackie Onassis's body guard in Stowe, Vermont was from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He lived above the fire house on Nantucket. CIO
08/29/23 Tuesday 8:10 P.M. I rested until 8 P.M.. I ate two 4.5 ounce packets of tuna and beans and rice and a 10.5 ounce can of Bar Harbor Lobster corn bisque with a glass of Vermont Spring water. CIO
08/29/23 Tuesday 6:40 P.M. I picked up the mail. I will now go outside again. CIO
08/29/23 Tuesday 5:50 P.M. I will now go outside again. CIO

08/29/23 Tuesday 2:05 P.M. I woke up at 1:30 P.M.. I made my bed. I went outside. I will eat a bowl of Mueslix with almond milk with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and a glass of spring water with some cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk. CIO
08/29/23 Tuesday 3:15 A.M. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a yogurt. I will then go to bed. CIO

08/29/23 Tuesday 12:35 A.M. I saw one of these downtown tonight https://www.rolls-roycemotorcarsoc.com/phantom-drophead-coupe/ . I noticed the two doors open front to back.
A Taft Class of 1968 classmate used to be the President of Rolls Royce in Dubai, and he once called me up to go into Manhattan to have a drink, but I did not want to change my quiet life style. CIO
08/28/23 Monday 11:30 P.M. If one looks at this note http://scott-mike.com/02012823.htm this past February 2023, I moved three old Apple Ipad 2 out of the floor of the left living room closet to the lower shelf of the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet. I have one mounted on the Apple Ipad charger behind the primary work computer, but the other two with cases and chargers have disappeared from the stainless steel cart. They were used and about seven years old, and are only worth about $30 https://www.itechdeals.com/collections/clearance/products/apple-ipad-2-with-wi-fi-16gb-black-2nd-generation-in-black if their batteries are any good. It sort of make me wander what else has disappeared from my apartment that I have not noticed.
To replace one of them besides the Ipad Mini I have coming, I could order this https://www.itechdeals.com/collections/ipads/products/apple-ipad-4th-generation-with-retina-display-and-wi-fi-in-black , but I hardly ever used any of them.
I will now go outside again and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
08/28/23 Monday 10:00 P.M. I went downtown to the www.chase.com Bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I put the Chase Bank rebate check in the ATM machine. I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought a Anne's croissant for $2.14. I then ate the croissant across the street in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park. I chatted with someone about the Yucatan Peninsula meteor that wipe out the dinosaurs forty million years ago. It got me to thinking about what I know. Having seen Caesar's Head north of Greenville, South Carolina and Stone Mountain east of Atlanta, Georgia, I have mentioned that they might be both halves of the meteor that hit the Yucatan Peninsula and skipped across the earth. However, since both halves seem to be round, possibly it was a smaller earth moon that decayed in orbit and crashed into the earth. I then returned home. I put the 8 GB of memory in the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop to the left of the primary work computer, so it now has 12 gigabytes of memory. I put it in the first memory slot, and the other two 2 GB memory slots are in the second and fourth memory slots. I filed this report.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
08/28/23 Monday 6:55 P.M. I went downtown to www.cvs.com Greenwich Avenue, and I bought buy one get one free of 250 capsule 400 IU CVS Vitamin E for $24.49 both. I then sat out for a long time in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across the street. I used the bathroom at the CFCF coffee shop.

I wander if they still wear Bermuda shorts with knee socks. I only visited Bermuda once in April 1968 for Spring Break. My stepfather had a brother who had a house in Bermuda and belonged to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. One of Queen Victoria's daughters married a wealthy Canadian and made Bermuda popular when it was too cold up in Canada. Stewart Mott had a house in Bermuda. Nelson Rockefeller had a house in Bermuda. Michael Bloomberg had a house in Bermuda. Bermuda is home to the second largest reinsurance company in the world. A friend of my family from Muskegon, Michigan had a sister who was the United States consulate to Bermuda for a long time.

08/27/23 Sunday 10:15 P.M. When I first visited Key West, Florida with Brian Hibbs from Cheshire, Connecticut in October 1976, the place was all boarded up and nothing was happening the day we were there. We returned back to Fort Lauderdale. Then in January 1977, when my car was towed in Fort Lauderdale for two many parking tickets at the Swimming Hall of Fame, I hitch hiked down to Key West, and I found a place to sleep underneath the Annex of the Episcopal Church. Shortly there after, Jimmy Eldert showed up out of the University of New Hampshire after visiting Russia on a State Department Tour. He eventually put me up at a trailer next to the Boca Chica Naval Station. I knew Rob Glore down there from Lake Forest, Illinois, and he had the craft shop across the post office down there. Fred Von Mierers told me in Manhattan, he had been there before, and once introduced me to Tennessee Williams on East 54th Street. When in the summer of 1977 Jimmy and myself returned to Nantucket, we both lived at different locations on India Street, and Fred also was living at another location on India Street. I got a job for $2.15 an hour as a pot scrubber at the Gordon Folger Hotel, so I hardly ever saw them. Jimmy Eldert was back down in Key West in the winter of 1978, when I met John Bolton, and one day he left with a blue duffle bag hitch hiking out of town. Around 1979, I called up a relative of Jim's, and I was told he was in Santa Cruz, California, which I had driven through with John Bolton in the fall of 1978 not knowing he was there. Between then and the fall of 1980, I visited Jim a few times in Santa Cruz. When I returned to Greenwich from Nantucket in December 1983, I tried to stay in touch with him in the Malibu Colony where he had moved, but on expensive long distance telephone calls, all I got was his answering machine with the Flintstone's theme song on it. When I was mugged back around July 3 by someone from Bermuda, 1990 in Manhattan, I thought I saw some one that looked like Jimmy walking down Third Avenue in blue overalls with a shirt. Possibly that is the last time I saw him. On Nantucket, Jimmy once was wearing a St. Andrew's University T shirt from Scotland. He also told me, he had worked for Queen Elizabeth II at her Sandringham Estate. He also worked for Jacob Javitts in Washington D.C. while at American University, and he met Princess Irene of the Netherlands. Helen Kress Williams back in February 1975, when we moved her from Oyster Bay to Locust Valley, Long Island mentioned we should keep an eye on the young Jimmy Eldert, but he was all over the place, so that was sort of difficult.

08/27/23 Sunday 1:20 A.M. I hate to tell you August 28 is going to be Jimmy Eldert's 68th birthday. When I met him with Fred Von Mierers around October 1973 during the stock market crash of that time, Jimmy asked me to remember his birthday. Usually when Jimmy shows up, nobody is around. We once walked around barefoot in the snow in a deserted Manhattan in a snow storm. Another time he and Fred went to El Morocco, and I showed up by mistake, when Fred had left a note on his Pullman bar saying to meet him at El Morocco which was meant for Jimmy not me. From my view point from what I know since I am half Dutch American, the Dutch Under Ground has been keeping track of me and interfering with me all of these years. Even when my United States passport, Connecticut driver's license, and Wellesley, Massachusetts military draft card along with $200 and a five ounce Swiss Credit gold bar and three one ounce Canadian gold maple leafs at $825 an ounce were stolen from me in August 1980, American Express told me, my passport was being used in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. So somebody with my look with Dutch connections has been playing dirty tricks all of these years. Alas, when I drove a taxi cab for two years while at Lake Forest, Illinois in college at Lake Forest College, I had to be finger printed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so the United States Government would know the difference between me and the impersonator, unless it was some sort of government agent they let get away with it.

08/23/23 Wednesday 2:05 P.M. When I worked 18 hours a day out on www.nantucket.net , I was told submarine commanders in World War II never slept, but only took twenty minute cat naps. I recently saw on Cspan the submarine service in World War II had the highest rate of casualties. They also mentioned they made submarines on the Great Lakes, but before the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lawrence_Seaway , it is hard to figure out how they got them out of the Great Lakes. I guess the Saint Lawrence Seaway mostly sends corn flakes to starving Europeans from the Bread Basket of America. In Norway corn flakes were considered a deluxe breakfast. My friend whose great grandmother was from the Kaiser of Germany's consulate in Manhattan before World War One like eating Mueslix https://www.amazon.com/s?k=muslix+cereal&crid=190ECQM72X364&sprefix=Muslix%2Caps%2C219&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_6 which since the Kellogg family of America are of Swiss origin came from the Swiss cereal of the same name.

I am not sure what tribe he belonged to though. The American Indians probably don't trust modern Western communications, but they know smoke signals. Like the British still know Archer Communications. Like the Africans still know the African drums. Like some people still know Moore's Code. Like people in various Navies know the Signals corps. Since nobody seems to ever look at my expensive web site about how to be cheap, there are other ways of communicating. One can take an expensive United States Postage stamp and write a letter to one of your politicians to see if one gets a response. When I talk about John James Audubon the Bird Painter, the Audubon Network used to be the name of the United States Military Communications network. One can still use homing pigeons to communicate or toss a bottle in the ocean with a note and hopes somebody finds it. I used to be pretty good at scouring a beach looking at what washed ashore besides tourists.

When I was camping out on the beach on the west side of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands in February 1972, there were a million stars in the sky on a clear night, and then something might have come out of the ocean and covered the who sky which scared me, so I climbed up the cliff in the dark, and I road my moped back into town. Maybe the Loch Ness monster winters in the Canary Islands. The water there is about 80,000 feet deep, so it is a big volcano just above the surface. I have a theory if there were ever a prehistory time lock or cryogenics chamber with ancient figures frozen in time, it might be powered by a volcano and hidden in some place like Lanzarote. They do grow onions there. I once read that NASA has a ground monitoring facility there in case the space shuttle had to abort in Morocco. I also read the Saudi Arabian royal family like vacationing there. I also read they now have a geothermal desalination plant there for added water in desert climate. In the northeast part of the island, some hippies had a commune there too. Playa Blanca beach looked to the south, and they had an old www.coke.com cooler filled European beer of some sorts. On the west side of the island, there was a compound that some wealthy European also maintained.

08/23/23 Wednesday 3:45 A.M. The former Combustion Engineering Company on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut is now a part of the Swedish and Swiss Engineering company Asea Brown Boveri. When I was in Manhattan in the early 1970s, the built a Swiss Cable Car from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island, where a lot of New York City employees live. I first crossed the boarder into Switzerland in February 1972, when I traveled via train through Switzerland going from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France to visit my Greenwich friend Chuck King at the University of Grenoble. Chuck's father worked for McCann Erickson advertising and handled the account for www.coke.com and Buick Automobiles. His mother's family owned a bank in Ohio. They lived in Michigan before moving here. Chuck's father had gone to Williams College with Tommy Chester, which is how they knew each other. Some times people show up here in Greenwich with a few connections in the Midwest hoping to find some warmer weather here on the edge of tropics on Long Island which keeps us a bit warmer. New Canaan nearby can be a lot colder though, but it used to be out of range in case Manhattan ever got a nuclear blast. However, being a small it town does not have its own hospital, but they use the Norwalk and Danbury hospitals, and their emergency medical used to consist of young volunteers. CIO
08/23/23 Wednesday 3:20 A.M. I went outside again. There is not too much happening around here on a night schedule. It now costs me about four dollars in gasoline to drive downtown and down to the pier on Steamboat Road to see the view of Long Island sound, and the dim lights of Long Island. Since I lived at 700 Steamboat Road for 4.5 years in a $400 a month welfare apartment before moving to Byram, I have covered the pier on Steamboat Road for close to forty years, since I came off www.nantucket.net in December 1983. Once I did chat briefly with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on that pier, but she just wanted to know where the nearby hotel was. She was going to Yale at that time. A young fisherman from Whistler ski resort in Northwest Canada https://www.skiresort.info/ski-resorts/canada/sorted/slope-length/ told me who she was. I later walked into the www.starbucks.com coffee shop on Greenwich Avenue, and I saw her father the King of Sweden sitting there, and he told me, if I ever visit Sweden, I am going to end up sitting in a coffee shop. The Queen of Sweden is from Brazil, so they probably have lots of Brazilian coffee in Sweden like the CFCF shop on Greenwich Avenue across from www.cvs.com also has lots of bags of Brazilian coffee beans for their coffee roaster on the premises. When I knew Tony Renato Pigato, when I lived on Steamboat Road, he told me his grandfather owned twenty million acres of Brazilian coffee plantation, which is why I think he go to meet the Aga Khan here in Greenwich. Nestle out of Switzerland with their Nescafe brand is supposed to be the world's largest food and coffee company, but although they do not have their own cheaper Nescafe K cups, they also market the Starbucks line of products, if one did not know. Nestle has offices nearby in White Plains, New York; so their might be other Swiss people and Swiss businesses around here. The internet took off with Tim Berners Lee working for CERN in Switzerland on super collider physics which costs a great deal of money.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines which I have never flown on, even though their United States headquarters are in nearby White Plains, New York, and I once met Queen Beatrice's nephew Eric who works for them and wanted to be a hypersonic pilot. He was the KLM pilot in a 747 jet over Alaska, when it flew through a volcanic ash cloud and lost all four engines, but he was able to restart them. Flying over Alaska is how on gets to Asia. He delivers flowers around the world twice a week out of Amsterdam. I met him at a pub near Ridgefield, where some of the Howard Hughes' Hughes Technology people hung out, when they were working on the Hubble Telescope mirror in Danbury. That got me interested in volanoes. Eric told me he has the most tulips planted around his house in Ridgefield. They also used to sell balsa wood toy gliders at the Ridgefield Hardware store. Eric thought the Greenwich people were too snobby, so he prefers Ridgefield. However, I did once see someone that looked like Prince Claus of the Netherlands coming out of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I know the Royal Dutch family once lived somewhere in Connecticut.

It all works fine. I am now doing an Aomei backup of it to an external hard drive. The Optiplex 790 SFF factor only has 4 gigabytes of memory, but it works fine. When I first got it, the lock security tabs were bent together, so it was a tedious problem to unstick it open up the case to install the 240 GB SSD drive.

Not much happening here on the cheap side of town. Some of the older retired people on this side of town go through the nearby dump trying to make money off old computer equipment, but at least I know my older hardly used devices still work. Having worked with various computer devices since 1989, I have a bit of experience that the garbage man that thinks he knows it all might not have or other person that frequents the dump. About four year ago, I gave the dump an air conditioner that a neighbor disgarded. Also about ten years ago I threw out my library of about 400 books to start the library at the dump. I used to know somebody that vacationed in Nova Scotia that was a lawyer here in town, and he would haul his garbage to the dump with a little cart behind his car every weekend. He also had a Dutch last name, so the old Dutch here can be pretty cheap. Back in my original days in Kennebunkport, everone used to take their garbage to the dump.

08/21/23 Monday 6:05 A.M. Both older Apple devices with new installs of High Sierra are in plastic bags with their power cords on the www.harvard.edu chair. I did not check to see if the Apple Macbook still holds a charge, but I put a new battery in it a few years ago. I hardly ever used them except for configuring them. I originally bought the Apple Macbook laptop for about $70 and I put a $25 240 GB SSD drive in it and $20 battery in it for about $115 investment. On the older Apple Mac Mini, I bought it for about a $141, and I put a $20 120 SSD drive in it for about $161 investment. They both have the High Sierra higher IOS installed that they will work with. CIO
08/21/23 Monday 5:15 A.M. The older Mac Mac Mini with a new install of High Sierra is now removed from the setup on the desk to the right of the primary work computer. I took the older Mac Book off the bedroom desk, and I deleted its SSD drive contents, and I am now installing a new copy of High Sierra. I do not know what to do with them, but I will have them ready to be reused. I figure the older Mac Mini with an SSD drive in it is worth about $100 and the older Macbook laptop with an SSD drive in it is worth about $75. However, in Greenwich there are not too many poor desperate people that might need them.

Also the Acme sandwiches have half as much meat as they used to have. I could buy a loaf of multigrain bread and keep it in the freezer for tuna sandwiches. I have three unopened jars of Hellmann's mayonnaise and plenty of tuna. When the bread is frozen one just throws it in the toaster to thaw out.

08/20/23 Sunday 7:10 A.M. Up on www.nantucket.net , when they used to open sea scallops in the spring, the local people would use the sea scallop shells to pave their driveways, but the remaining bits of the sea scallops attract sea gulls, until they dry out and get crushed by the cars. However, that is better than expensive gravel or asphalt from the main land. When the last thing I did in December 1983 was paint the trim on Admiral Halsey's small cottage on the Polpis road, they used sea scallop shells for the driveway like a lot of other people out on Nantucket. However, as Nantucket got more expensive, they got rid of the ice house on the wharf for the fishermen, so I am not sure if they have that enterprise anymore. At Madeket on the north side of the island in the harbor, one can pick up quahogs with one's toes in about five of water, which they use for quahog chowder, so possibly those shells can be used for driveways too. The rich people make Light Ship baskets in the off season, and they use to be very expensive; until the Asians started making them more cheaply. When I was there, the Roman Catholic church in the center of town looked like it had not had its trim painted in over twenty years, but the other churches were well maintained. The Episcopal Church had needle point cushions which they would make in the winter. The Quakers on Nantucket have a bit more money, since they do not have to pay for a minister. Nina Needlepoint moved out of Old Greenwich to Osterville on Cape Cod. They also used to do a lot of needlepoint up in Kennebunkport, until they got into politics. Billy Baldwin use to used needlepoint in his decorating. Also on Hydra in the spring of 1972, the nuns used to sell inexpensive needlepoint. Also a relative of the Harriman family tries to sell old needlepoint house slippers that he collected. A lot of the Quakers on Nantucket were Scottish Presbyterians, but became Quakers to be cheaper. I know somebody here in Greenwich related to the Scott family whose Greenleaf family used to own all of Nantucket, but they gave it away. Prince Harry's wife's family seems to be related to the Hussey family out on Nantucket where a street downtown where I last lived in the basement of the Grinnon's guest house is called Hussey Street. Jimmy Eldert in his period also lived in a small rental on Hussey street behind India House where he worked and where Billy Baldwin also once lived, until he moved to Sconset to work for Bunny Mellon.

I guess ever since Bunny Mellon passed away, there is no money way out on www.nantucket.net . One can always chuck Sea Scallops, but maybe in season. Bunny Mellon's husband was a British Knight, so he tries to take care of distressed British people in his neck of the woods. I guess since King Charles is now King, all of the people that Queen Elizabeth used to take care of world wide are without means to survive. I guess they could go back to England and try to lead ordinary lives. There used to be someone in Greenwich that got paid $50,000 a year for writing one letter a year to Queen Elizabeth.

08/18/23 Friday 3:45 A.M. Back around December 1973, I drove in about eight inches of snow in my blue Volvo Sedan that I bought from George Peabody in Greenwich to Newark Airport to pick up George Cary from East Aurora, New York, and then we drove in the white out conditions to George's maternal grandfather estate in Gladstone, New Jersey, and I met his grandfather Jay Coogan who was the President of the Illinois Central Railroad. He only kept his mansion at 50 degrees Fahrenheit to save money. His grandfather was the last living member of Queen Victoria's honor guard, and he had gone to Sandhurst Military Academy in England. From there in Far Hills, New Jersey where the Forbes family live, the Volvo got a broken fan belt, and there was a snow mobile shop there that was able to replace the fan belt. The Forbes have the franchise for Honda in New Jersey. We then drove to a party at Fred Von Mierers girl friends huge apartment on Park Avenue and the 90s. We met up with my youngest sister and her new husband and Jim Eldert from Syracuse, New York, where they get fifteen feet of snow. After the party Jimmy took off with my younger sister and her husband, and George and I drove out in the snow to Greenwich. My little cabin in the back yard did not have running water, and the propane heater did not have any propane. Then I think George went back to Buffalo. Later that winter he, showed up again, and I picked him up at Newark airport, but first I had to pay $200 to get my Volvo out of the towing pound in Manhattan, where it had been towed from Beekman Place. We visited Fred's apartment at 420 East 49th Street. I recall another time in that period staying at George's Aunt Mary's apartment on East 72nd Street. George and Jimmy being cold weather people probably did not know the Norwegian and Swedish consulates were nearby on East 49th Street in the Random House building owned by my roommate on the Farm at Lake Forest College's father. Jackie Onassis also worked there. The Danish consulate was just south on Second Avenue and the British consulate was just North on Third Avenue, and the Ford Foundation on East 47th Street took up a whole block.

08/18/23 Friday 2:55 A.M. As a matter of dispute with Vermont Know It Alls, I have been up in Vermont in the winter. Around Christmas Time 1969, I drove my 1967 Mustang Convertible with three speed shift on the floor from Boston on Route 2 West to Stratton, Vermont; where I met up with some Taft School classmates. I used to be good at driving on snow. If one has a three or four speed clutch car, one can down shift or up shift to get better traction on snow and ice which was the case, when I drove the 1971 Subaru through the Rocky Mountains going East in the late fall of 1978 in a two day blizzard. I also was the snow driver while driving a taxi for a year and a half at night at Lake Forest College. The Lake Forest taxis were three speed on the column clutch shifts on yellow Chrysler sedans. I have never driven Interstate 90 out West, but in looking at it on a map, it goes through Montana which is a big state. There used to be Truck Stops of America every few hundred miles on Interstate 90 in Montana, so I figured out, if one ever wanted to hide out in America in an invasion or nuclear war, one could drive between truck stops in Montana, and nobody would ever know where one was. However, there are a lot of grizzly bears up that way which might not be user friendly. At Lake Forest College after graduating in the summer of 1972, I met a member of the McCormick family from Illinois that own https://www.navistar.com/en which makes heavy duty all weather trucks, but they are more expensive than GMCs.

There is still the last I heard an unsettled law suit with the State of Texas calling Red Onions, "Bermuda Red Onion." Bermuda Red Onions have a hot taste where Georgia Vidalia onions have a sweet taste. On Lanzarote, they grow some sort of onions in the volcanic lava in the craters, but if they were old Kimberlite Volcanoes, they might find diamonds too. However, diamonds are made of carbon, so they are not safe to hoard or keep, because they can burn; where as gold or platinum will only melt for better or worse. However, I have learned with gold, once one starts using it for expenses, there is an experience group of people in this area whom are experts at stealing it like a lot of other valuable things like all of the hundreds of new cars stolen in Greenwich every year. Insurance investigators know things that the local media do not cover.

08/17/23 Thursday 6:20 A.M. Out on www.nantucket.net besides three years of pot scrubbing, dish washing, prep work, and cleaning up in various restaurants; I did learn a couple things about cooking. The recipe for Portuguese bread is the same as French Bread, but the loaf is shaped differently. Also to make an omelet, one needs an expensive seasoned aluminum eight inch frying pan. Then one breaks three room temperature extra large eggs in a bowl and adds a few tablespoons of cream. One then whisks it all together. Then one puts the eight inch omelet pan on a gas burner at medium high with a few or more tablespoons of butter. Once the butter melts and starts to bubble, one adds the egg mixtures. Once it seems to be cooked on one side, one flips over fast to the other side, and lets the other side cook, until it puffs up a bit. Then once both sides are cooked one adds cottage cheese or other items to one side and flips over one side of the other and slide it onto a plate. It takes a bit of skill, one has to make sure one uses enough butter in the seasoned eight frying pan, so it does not burn. One can put a few sprigs of parsley on it to make it look more colorful.

08/17/23 Thursday 4:30 A.M. Back in October 1973, when the stock market crashed, I was fired as a waiter at Boodles restaurant in Greenwich. I read in the New York Times a lot of the young jet set people where going to Le Jardin Discothèque near Times Square. I drove in one night, and I met Fred Von Mierers and some of his jet set friends. At the time Fred was modeling underwear for Sears, but within a few days, he was pictured shaking hands with Nelson Rockefeller in the society column by Eungina Shepard in the Daily News. Since I knew Fred, and Greenwich was in economic decline because of the Arab Oil Embargo which was caused by Nelson Rockefeller stopping delivery of oil tankers to New York Harbor, I stayed in touch with Fred at his ground floor apartment at 420 East 49th Street now the German Consulate with a half million dollars of antiques. Fred told me was taking over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business along with Fred's partner Taylor Sterling the architect of the Rockefeller ranch in Venezuela whom lived in Greenwich too. At the time, Fred told me he was designing a beach cabana for Nelson Rockefeller's house in Bermuda. I quit visiting Fred's apartment around February 1975, when life was too destitute in Greenwich and too hectic for me in Manhattan. Back then if one could find gasoline, it was about $5 to fill the fuel tank at the Mobil station across the street from the Greenwich train station would last about a week. After I had to get rid of my blue Volvo that I dented on the driver's side driving to the Darien rest area in blizzard to get fuel, I would drive my mother's 1971 brown and tan Monte Carlo sedan a number of times into Manhattan parking near Beekman Place on Mitchell Place overlooking the United Nations. Nelson's brother John D. Rockefeller III lived at one Beekman Place, so there were a lot of people in the neighborhood familiar with their routines, when they happened to be there. That is about all I know. It is legal for the CIA to conduct clandestine intelligence in the United States, but I would imagine other countries do it around the United Nations. My father knew Huntington Hartford the A&P grocery store heir that lived on Beekman place. Fred knew David Wise who lived on Beekman place the author that wrote the book on the CIA. He also knew the Shah of Iran's niece that lived on Beekman Place. The current secretary of state also grew up on Beekman Place. A wealthy Lake Forest College classmate John Binnegar also lived on Beekman Place. Henry Kissinger lived just North of Beekman Place near the River Club on East 52nd Street, where Michael Bickford from Greenwich, and Gretta Garbor who worked for British Intelligence also lived. Fred though his life was like the movie and play, "Auntie Mame."

08/15/23 Tuesday 11:50 P.M. I went outside, and I drank my coffee. I washed the breakfast dishes. I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.

08/15/23 Tuesday 12:25 P.M. The HP desktop that I just fixed got messed up some time ago, because I have a Hauppauge TV card in it which was connected to the Cable Box coaxial cable. Some how it BIOS got messed up, and the F9 boot option still does not work, and twice its OS got messed up. I guess it was messed up through the coaxial cable. I have the coaxial cable disconnected now. Now all four desktops at the far end of the oak dining table work just fine.
I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a yogurt and a croissant, and then I will go to bed. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 11:45 A.M. At the far end of the oak dining table, the upper right HP desktop now works just fine with the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus, Office 2021 and Norton Internet Security 360 like the one beneath it.
I will now go outside again. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 11:10 A.M. I took the Hirens BCD *.iso file, and I burned it to a DVD. I was able to boot it on the defective HP desktop, and I did a low level format of its hard drive. I could not use its copy of Aomei to restore the backup from the new lower right HP installation, since it costs for Aomei, so on the primary computer, I created a Aomei Linux restore DVD with my older copy, and I booted it on the defective HP desktop, and I am restoring the new backup from the HP desktop on the lower right side of the stack. Thus in ten minutes, I should have the defective HP desktop repaired except for renaming it back to its original name. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 8:55 A.M. I fiddled with the defective HP to no avail. I will now go outside and drink a cup of coffee. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 7:40 A.M.

08/15/23 Tuesday 6:05 A.M. I worked on the four desktops in the stack on the far end of the oak dining table. Three of them work fine, but the one in the upper right does work, but its bios boot option does not. I worked with it for a long time to no avail.
I went outside, and I drank a coffee.

08/15/23 Tuesday 1:55 A.M. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm . Interstate 95 used to have rest areas in either directions in Darien, but I am not sure what restaurants are there anymore. It used to be www.mcdonalds.com , but it might by Subway Sandwich now. This https://www.ctserviceplazas.com/locations/darien-nb says it has both. McDonalds at Exit 5 off Interstate 95 in Greenwich is opened 24 hours though.
I will now go outside again. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 1:30 A.M. The Bickfords in Greenwich are offering unlimited pancakes for $5 https://www.ihop.com/en/specials/65th-anniversary-all-you-can-eat , but one has to drive all of the way to the last Eastern exit in Darien on I-95 for the nearest Ihop, but it may not be there anymore. There is one in downtown Stamford though. In Laguna Beach, there was a 24 Denny's that everyone went to late at night. CIO
08/15/23 Tuesday 1:15 A.M. When I was up on www.nantucket.net , it was not too high tech. There was a Radio Shack there. One of the three beacons of the Loran Navigation System was on Nantucket which I think was run by the Coast Guard. They did not have Cable Television let alone cell phone. The microwave towers for the NORAD early warning system were also there. For the fire station, they would blast a horn for different series of blasts which on a chart which every one had would show where on the island the fire was. They did have Eastern Airlines jets practicing at Nantucket airport along with a lot of private jets. The Cottage Hospital provided basic care, but for more complicated procedures, they would fly patients to Hyannis or Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. However, it was a low stress life for some of the rich people despite the continued stress I went through working in restaurants as a dish washer and pot scrubber six to seven days a week for 12 to 18 hours a day at the starting wage of $2.15 an hour up to $8.50 an hour, when I departed in December 1983 to return to Greenwich. Still having worked in restaurants, I know a little bit about cooking which I do not feel like doing anymore. I basically eat simple meals like salads and microwave some frozen meals. If I try to cook something like a hamburger on the stove burner, it stinks up my small apartment. The most complicated thing I have done recently is to use the Oster Convection over to cook a roast beef, when it is on sale. It also is very good at cooking a pizza. Instead of making my own French Bread dough in the bread machine for a pizza crust which takes several hours, it is simpler to buy a cheap frozen pizza and put pizza sauce, shredded cheese, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, and spread extra virgin olive oil over it, and cook it in the Oster Convection oven for an improvised pizza. I think the Oster Oven is named for Osterville on Cape Cod, where a lot of very wealthy people have summer homes. CIO

08/14/23 Monday 4:20 A.M. On the beta partition on the Dell Studio XPS on the floor on the far end of the left side of the oak dining table, I installed and activated Norton 360. I went to start up the beta on the lower right side of the desktop stack at the far end of the oak dining table which was to also have the beta on it, but it only had Vine OS on it. I was able to get rid of Vine by booting the Hirens USB pen drive, and doing a low level format of it. I am now installing the beta on it, which will take a while. CIO
08/14/23 Monday 2:55 A.M. On the four older 17.3 inch laptops with the Microsoft Windows 12 Canary beta rufus on them, I installed and activated Norton 360 on them. I still have three Norton 360 product keys left. I might need on for the Dell Tower on the floor at the far end of the oak dining table with the beta on it. Norton 360 product keys that are still good but no longer used on a machine can be deleted and used on another machine.

08/08/23 Tuesday 2:35 A.M. On Madison Avenue just east of the Pierre
Hotel, there was a building occupied by Hertz Rent a Car and a insurance
company that was supposed to be owned by the Kennedy family. Just north
of it about five blocks on the west side of Madison Avenue, there was an
inexpensive restaurant, where one could breakfast for less than $3.
Further up Madison Avenue around 69th street on the east was a cafeteria,
where one could get a five course dinner for about $4. I guess there has
been a bit of inflation, since the early 1970s, so I do not venture into
Manhattan. The last time I went to Manhattan for the Microsoft
conference at the Sheraton Hotel at Broadway and 54th Street, where I saw
Prince Charles in Grand Central Station with a thousand people around him that
looked like Prince Andrew looking at the remodeled Grand Central Station, I
brought my own baloney sandwich for lunch to the Microsoft Conference. I
sat in the back row, so I could go out to the street and smoke. There
were two blond youth sitting in front of my with the Roosevelt family look,
and they ate big red apples at lunch time. Franklin Delano Roosevelt in
his personal resume does not say he was a lawyer, but an apple farmer. I
read in the 150th anniversary book of the Bank of New York that I bought at
the Greenwich Hospital Thrift for $10 and gave to the Bank of New York in
Greenwich, when it bought out Putnam Trust, that although Alexander Hamilton
started the Bank of New York, it was with Eliahu Roosevelt's money. I
have been told the Roosevelt family do not have any money anymore, but
Franklin's mother's family the Delano family had all of the money from the
China trade. Somebody told me, the Roosevelt family are just saving
their money for the next generation. The Bank of New York is supposed to
have $27 trillion in custody accounts, and State Street Trust in Boston is
supposed to have $17 trillion in custody accounts.

When I lost track of Fred Von Mierers, he started eating at La Cirque at the Pierre Hotel https://www.thepierreny.com/our-story/history in Manhattan owned by J. Paul Getty. Nelson Rockefeller had an apartment on Fifth Avenue on the north side of the Pierre, where he would park his 1968 brown and tan Oldsmobile 98 with New York license plate 1908 on the street at the entrance. When John Bolton and I were driving through Malibu, California on Labor Day in 1980, there were a lot of people on the beach mostly surfer types opposite the old Getty Art Museum. When we tried to explore that Museum, it was closed on Labor Day, but I saw Fred Von Mierers walking out of it when it was closed, but John did not want to meet him.
I covered a dinner plate with three ounces of baby spinach leaves, then I added a drained and flaked four ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, four ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese, a quarter of a diced red Bermuda onion, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and Ken's balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

There is a 20 mile drive that starts in Carmel, California going north along the beautiful and very expensive Monterey coast line starting at the Pebble Beach golf club. They also have a Marine Aquarium in Monterrey. Ansel Adams that worked for a while at Polaroid in Cambridge, Massachusetts had his major photo studios in Big Sur, California.

He stopped by three catholic churches along the way and did masses, and then he dropped me off at www.stanford.edu in Palo Alto, California. I sat around a coffee shop there. I then some how got to San Francisco airport, and I saw thousands of Unites Airlines maintenance workers coming out of a large hanger there. It was 40 degrees Fahrenheit there in Ju;ly and foggy, so it was not summer weather. I wandered around the airport for a day. I then recall flying back to John Wayne airport and going to Laguna Beach. I was on quite a number of jets on that fifth trip to California, and I began to think I was a Sky Marshall.

I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.
When I met Vincent Butler in Santa Cruz, California; he gave a Fresca can with a transistor radio in it, which I mailed to my mother in Kennebunkport, Maine. Vincent Butler had a nice California house on top of a mountain with lots of room, and over the fire place mantel was engraved, "Tuum Es," which means you are welcome. At the health food restaurant at the University of California at Santa Cruz where I ate a number times, I once had something to drink there, and I felt so good, I went out into the redwoods and jogged about fifteen miles. I thought they might have come up with some sort of concoction to make one feel good. They did have a good chemistry department. When I slept in my car in the parking lot though, I could feel the ground always shaking a bit. Also in the gymnasium showers, there were big signs saying to limit showers to one minutes because of the shortage of water out there. They had a language laboratory there with lots of recordings of famous people. I listened to the Ernest Hemingway tape there about, "Fifth Columnists." He spoke very slowly like he might have been very hot in tropical weather.

08/06/23 Sunday 12:25 A.M. On the last trip to California with John Bolton in August 1980, when we drove west on Interstate 10 in the used Burgundy Volvo from Belgium that I bought from John Delia Subaru in Greenwich for $1750, we drove up the Pacific Coast Highway to Palo Alto, California and visited Stamford University. I had a key palm coconut that I had picked up in Key West, so we left it on the steps on the botanical garden at Stamford University. I can not recall whether we went to San Francisco are looked up Jimmy Eldert in Santa Cruz. I do recall selling my box of tools with the Rockwell Circular saw for about $50 in Carmel, California. We stayed in Carmel for a few days at the Normandy Inn for $79 a night. We ate tornadoes which are filet mignons at an expensive restaurant on the main street of Carmel. I recall driving west from the Inland Highway by lots of Union 76 oil wells on the Hearst Ranch. We also drove down the windy Big Sur Highway to Santa Barbara, we camped out in the mountains near Ronald Reagan's ranch exploring the area around the University of California at Santa Barbara. At the airport nearby they had the huge jet the "The Guppy" used for transporting off shore oil equipment. After the hassle, when I was arrested, I almost lost track of John, but I found him and the car which he had moved on the University of California at Santa Barbara campus, where he had been exploring around. We did buy a $10 Wal-Mart sleeping bag since it was cold sleeping in the mountains in the car near Reagan's ranch. I recall exploring Point Conception where I tried surf casting there. It was near Vandenberg air force base, and there was a train station stop there with nothing else around. They grow a lot of cut flowers in the area. On election day, we stopped by the Montecito Inn, and I saw the head lawyer for Combustion Engineering that had bought the house in back country Greenwich that I helped build. I then sold my surfcasting rod and tackle box at the Shell Station on the highway for $10 in gasoline and drove down to Laguna Beach, where they were having a victory party for Reagan at the Coast Inn. I recall eating at an expensive French restaurant there possibly on that trip. After Joel put us up for that night, I recall the day after election day driving to Disney Land, where I learned there was a cash for you car place at the gate of Disneyland. I sold the Volvo which was getting bad clutch for $1250, and then John and took a cab to Las Angeles airport and flew back to New York City, where we stayed with his mother at 315 West 74th Street with the white German Shepard and the Doberman Pincher. John moved back out to Plandome Manor Island, when his grandmother got seriously burned from a match setting her night gown on fire and she had to do rehabilitation. At the time my paternal Grandmother died around Christmas Time. I did fly to Frankfort, Germany for three days, and I stayed in the apartment until February 1982, when I had to move out. John's mother did not live there much, she had another apartment at the Carnegie Tower on the East Side. The night Ronald Reagan first showed up in Manhattan at the Waldorf Astoria, I walked the white German Shepard through Central Park to the Waldorf, and the Secret Service photographed it with a Polaroid camera, and then we walked back through Central Park. The white German Shepard walked me down West 71st Street, and at that time on West 72nd Street was when John Lennon had been shot at the Dakota where John's sister worked in the liquor store there.
I have not been back to California since then, although I have been back to Europe twice since the trip to Frankfort, Germany. John's great grandmother was part of the Kaiser of Germany's consulate to New York City before World War One, so there were some Germans that knew the family.
I will now go outside again. CIO
08/05/23 Saturday 11:25 P.M. I paid my apartment renter's insurance starting for another year in October 2023 for $179 for the whole year. When I was in Laguna Beach were Warren Buffet also has a house, on the last trip in the old Volvo with John Bolton, Joel who had a nice house near the Coast Inn and put us up for the night, and for lunch the next day, he took John and I to lunch at Dana Point with his room mate the head of Camp Pendleton. I guess I was so good on the previous trip when I flew teaching the Marines about agility training, they even built a discothèque at Camp Pendleton. I imagined I was on the deck of an aircraft carrier directing jets to take off, when one has to be fast or playing some giant complicated machine with lots of levers. I was pretty good at it at age 30. I even wore out a pair of new Adidas sneakers with three green strips in three days, showing them my agility. In the dry climate in Laguna Beach I felt ten years younger as opposed to being crippled with arthritis on the damp east coast. Also on the previous trip when I flew at the Camel Point beach in Laguna Beach where there is a sewage outlet, there were about a dozen young Lufthansa flight attendants, but I don't speak German, so I could not chat with them. I did meet somebody that thought I was the model for Levis blue jeans, but at that time like Jimmy Eldert, we were both wearing Lee Blue jeans. On the trip that I flew, I left Jimmy Eldert in Santa Cruz, California and hitch hiked down to Carmel and then to Monterrey airport as I recall and back into John Wayne airport in Newport Beach, California. I did noticed on that trip that there was a new company called Disco Vision next to the airport. Also at the time, Fluor Construction out of Newport Beach was there, and they bought out Daniel Construction from Greenville, South Carolina, and moved to Irvine, Texas. The construction people were building the twin nuclear reactors as Dana Point, which were closed a few years ago.

I guess the noise I heard when driving back from the grocery store on Thursday night was somebody throwing an egg at my car. I went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I picked up a prescription. I returned home. I sat outside. I will eat a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and cheese croissant with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and pineapple chunks with mandarin oranges, and a glass of spring water with some pineapple juice and cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk.

08/05/23 Saturday 8:10 A.M. The Lincoln Memorial is also built out of Vermont Marble.

08/05/23 Saturday 7:00 A.M. The first discothèque I discovered was in
Grenoble, France; where my friend from Greenwich and Carmel, California was
going to the University of Grenoble and lived with two classmates from America
in a small cottage next to a villa owned by the son of the governor of Eastern
France. He had an old barn in the back yard which late at night became a
discothèque called Bird Land full of exotic birds which was full of
International Students partying while the rest of the students at the
University of Grenoble were rioting. I collected a lot of names in my
address book there, which I kept for a long time. However, when I was in
Santa Cruz, California after the trip to Maui, at the time when Lord
Mountbatten was bombed in Ireland, I thought someone might be looking at my
address book with random names, so I threw the address book in a dumpster at
the University of California at Santa Cruz. However, at the time in
Laguna Beach, there were British people with one that looked like Lord
Mounbatten playing Boci Ball on the hill overlooking the beach. Ever on
the United Flight from Las Angeles Airport to Hawaii, there was a woman on the
flight that looked like Queen Elizabeth II, which flight went on to Australia.
At the Hyatt Hotel in La Haina on Maui, where I stayed there were lots of
security in traditional British India Khakis. You know white shoes, white knee
socks, white shorts, white shirt, and white pith helmet. The place was
full of Chinese Art. I had the $80 a night assistant manager's room on
the ground floor with air conditioning, and I pretended to be the assistant
manager based on my travels. I did watch Hawaii Five O on television.
Nobody knew where I was, so I called up a former relative, and told him where
I was. They had a lot of people there and a discothèque. I would
wear my pink linen slacks and a Greek Fisherman's shirt with my shirt tail out
that Joel in Laguna had given me. The Philippine people always wore
their shirts out until the returned to the Philippines. At the time, the
American District Attorney's Association and the America Bar Association was
having a convention there, so we were not doing anything illegal. I
learned Paul McCartney owned a bar in La Haina called, "The Blue Max."
It was very expensive there. Once I was charged $80 for five shrimp
scampi with a bottle of German wine. For breakfast they served a lot of
corn beef hash. The swimming pool had a water fall that lead into an
exercise room. I was back then able to lift about 250 pounds. I
flew back to Hawaii after a week. I paid my bill with a one ounce gold
Canadian Maple leaf coin. In Hawaii, I needed some money, so I took a
$100 taxi to the entrance of Pearl Harbor where there was a coin shop, and
exchanged some one dollar gold coins for cash and a two ounce Kaiser Wilhelm
gold coin which I later cashed in Laguna Beach for cash. I caught World
Airways back to San Jose, and they would not rent me a car without a credit
card, so while hitch hiking to Santa Cruz, I was picked up by Vincent Butler
who put me up for a few days while his family was away in a very deluxe house.
We drank a lot of Vodka over the Labor Days weekend, and I showed him a lot of
German March steps, I had seen in Hollywood movies. He was a fourth
generation California that had gone to
www.mit.edu , and he wanted his son Buzzy Butler to go there. When I
returned to the University of California at Santa Cruz campus, I slept in a
deserted dormitory, and that Sunday Morning, I went to a Russian Orthodox
Service on campus, but after the service, I shook hands with the Russian
Orthodox priest which I did not know people are not supposed to touch.
They arrested me and threw me in a deluxe rehab place for three days
with a lot of Iranians drinking orange juice. When I got out, I called
up Jimmy and he met me at the campus, and showed me a very deluxe house he had
the key for. He told me he had given the 1.5 ounces of gold to a Swedish
couple, so they could return to Sweden. I know the Dutch had a consulate
in Santa Cruz, and I read about the King of Sweden being in San Francisco with
the Royal Swedish Symphony. I then flew back to Laguna Beach, where the
head of Xerox Parc named Joel put me up at his beach house. I recall
flying back to New York City on Sabena Airlines from Belgium with a jet full
of Roman Catholic Church nuns possibly from Europe. On old coins, the
American Numismatic Society is in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Post Office
Federal building on Third Avenue and 54th street, so the government probably
tracks various coins being traded in this country.

When I drove through Omaha on my trips across country, I could only afford a fifteen cent hamburger at www.mcdonalds.com on the East side of Omaha. I do know the www.af.mil had a big base there, and Jimmy Ellis who once ran it, might have been the hacker from Level Five Communications trying to disrupt my internet activity. I think I made 4.5 trips driving across country and back. I can remember the first trip through Chicago, Champaign, Tulsa, Midland, across Interstate 10. The second trip by myself I think across Interstate 10. Also two trips in the Subaru, one where we camped out in the Rockies in the summer and another where we went North at Denver to Laramie, Wyoming in October when it was minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. And of course the last trip across Interstate 10, when we sold the used Volvo at Disneyland and flew back. On the round trip air flight in Laguna Beach by myself, I was around people from Disneyland, and I was trying to teach the theme park dancers how to dance better based on my New York City discothèque experiences. Out in the hot weather in California the Disney Dancers were a little bit too slow. I though I was Mickey and Donald in Manhattan from Fort Hood, Texas was Donald, and Jimmy was Jimmy Cricket. But alas nobody remembers the Mickey Mouse Club in the old days or Spin and Marty, where they had an episode about how to break in a new pair of blue jeans. I have three nephews who used to call me Uncle Scrooge, so I called them Huie, Dooie, and Louie which was one of my favorite comic books.

08/05/23 Saturday 4:35 A.M. On the name Santa Cruz, it is very common in the Spanish World. On the oldest map of the whole world, the Map of Magellan, the island of Nantucket is called Santa Cruz, so the Spanish might have been there first. Maybe Jimmy Eldert from the Joy family in Boston and Nantucket got his Santa Cruz locations mixed up. However, down in Key West where Fred Von Mierers had been there before me and had also had lived with Nixon's ambassador to Madrid, where I also saw Juan Carlos the then King of Spain who hunted in Spain with a friend of my elder sister, I thought Jimmy Eldert might have some sort of Spanish connection. Juan Carlos' father lived in Argentina in Exile too. I did see people from Argentina and Spain in Key West and Laguna Beach, California. Maybe since Jimmy Eldert knew Princess Irene of the Netherlands, he might have some sort of Spanish Royalty connection too. On the Dutch side, he is supposed to be from one of the oldest Dutch families in the New Amsterdam colony, which is why Helen Kress Williams who knew a lot about history said, we should keep an eye on him, when Fred and I met him at Le Jardin discothèque in Manhattan in October 1973. I also know he worked for Queen Elizabeth II at her Sandriham Estate in England. Being a gymnist he was good at riding horses too when I watch him and John from Bowden College ride horses on Nantucket beach on the south shore. In Nantucket, I spotted him wearing a St. Andrews University tee shirt too, so he might have been in Scotland too. Maybe with the name James with a Scottish connection, he might have been related to the exile King James of Scotland or Bonnie Prince Charlie. With people with royal connections, they all have entourages, so they do not have to keep track of too many things themselves personally.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. My friend from Sao Paulo, Brazil does not mind if I drink too much coffee, since his grandfather owned twenty million acres of coffee plantation coming from one of the original Portuguese families in Brazil with a mother from Milan, Italy; where all of the rich Italian bankers are. CIO
08/05/23 Saturday 3:45 A.M. Between October 1978 and November 1980, I drove across country to California either 3.5 or 4.5 times. 1.5 times I flew. In driving across country one has to know how to deal with the locals along the highway. Since the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System has lots of people along the way trying to make money, one has to be cheap and inconspicuous. During most of my trips across country and in California, I would go to local grocery stores and buy Colby cheese, yogurt, and orange juice to eat. In some grocery stores, the dairy department is on the left side and in others, it on the right side. California has a lot of fresh produce. In Santa Cruz, California the local stores had big wooden barrels of corn chips. To be honest I saw so much field corn and some cattle driving across country, I figured out; they might not mind if I ate some beef. Twice in San Juan, Capistrano where Robert Schuler's son church was I took packages of two filet mignons and barbecued them on the grill in the mountain. When in Santa Barbara on the last trip looking more wealthy in the used Volvo from Belgium, they arrested me for trying the same the trick, and John Bolton's mother had to Western Union me a hundred dollars to get me out of jail in Santa Barbara. I saw one person in jail that looked like an old neighbor from Decatur, Alabama whose father was an expert in textile dieing. Since my oldest sister in Tulsa at the time was neighbors of the Getty family, so I tried to be low key and inconspicuous, but I guess Polaroid advertised so much at a million dollars a minutes on the three major networks, they expected me to have money out West, and back then I did not even have a camera. I did like driving the Zig Zag Pacific Coast Highway a number of times which demanded sharp driving skills. Back at Polaroid in Cambridge, Ansel Adams who never left the U.S.A. had worked out of the Carmel, California area near Big Sur. When all of the actors were on strike, I even saw somebody in Carmel that looked like Johnny Carson in a Rob Roy lumber jacket. At a grocery store in Carmel, I did take four quarts of oil and an oil filter for an oil change, which they did not mind with all of the oil wells out there. I can not recall which brand of oil, but it might have been Citgo. One sees a lot of NAPA auto parts stores in driving across country. However, in the 1971 Subaru yellow station wagon designed by Howard Hughes based on areonautics, it has many of the same parts as the cheap Datsun, so I could get oil change and tune up parts at any local K mart. I also in Irvine, California bounced a $10 check at a bank with the full size cuts out of Roy Roger's at the bank entrance. I was basically pretty honest, but when one is starving and on the move, one has to keep going, knowing one still has to drive back east sooner or later. I only saw one Connecticut license plate in California, and the fellow looked like Jerry Jeffrey from Greenwich. In Santa Cruz, California, I did see a Volkswagen Camper bus with Massachusetts license plates. Nobody in California seemed interested in politics, but there was lots of traffic around the cities which I avoided. Huntington Beach had oil wells where Robert Schuler's church was. I did not visit my friend from Greenwich who lived in Carmel whose father owned the radio station there, since I figured he had a few friends keeping an eye on me. He knows I can not surf. They used to say, "Scott Don't Surf." Jimmy Eldert lived in a top secret place near O' Neil's surf shop in Santa Cruz, California, when I visited him at his radio station, and since he was an Olympic Class Gymnastic Athlete, I figured he might know how to surf. In Santa Cruz, he knew Peter Hubbard from Greenwich one of the oldest families in Greenwich and the family that started the Masonic order here. He was majoring in law at U.C.L.A. I did tour U.C.L.A. one evening and it looked quite prosperous.

08/05/23 Saturday 2:45 A.M. Sleep News https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/sleep-facts-statistics .
Before I was declared disable in December, 1983; when I returned to Greenwich and had a full $7,500 medical physical at the old Greenwich Hospital; which determined I had a protein metabolic disorder, I had an exhausting routine on www.nantucket.net . My routine consisted of waking up around 9 A.M. in the morning, and I would dress and clean up, and I would walked to the nearby Le Languedoc restaurant at 10 A.M., and I would work the lunch shift until 2 P.M.. I would sometimes make my omelet breakfast there. I would then do a five mile jog each way out to the airport beach and take a short nap and jog back for the 4 P.M. shift. I would eat my dinner at the restaurant then. I would then work on prep work such as cutting onions, garlic and picking beans. Around 5 P.M., I would start washing dishes until about 11 P.M.. I was sometimes given another meal. I would work cleaning up the whole restaurant until 4 A.M., and then walk back to the basement on Hussey street to get about five hours sleep. I did that about six days a week, but in the busy summer time, it was seven days a week. On a day off, I would sometime buy a dollar bottle of French white wine, and sip it some place, where nobody would notice me. In the busy time, the restaurant did about 250 meals at night. Doing that for eight months straight when I was a bit younger and fitter kept me busy and surviving. I did not know anyone other than the people that I worked with. My salary was $8.75 an hour before taxes, and the waiters were suppose to give the dishwashers 15% of their tips which when divided up was not very much. When I first started working as a pot scrubber out on Nantucket in the spring of 1977, I only got $2 an hour at the Gordon Folger Hotel. I worked there the following year, before I changed to Le Languedoc. All of the quarters that I worked at the Gordon Folger Hotel were never recorded on my Social Security Account, since I had been threatened constantly in South Florida, I did not give them my actual Social Security number. Also the ten months I spent from April 1982 to February 1983 building the garage apartment for 12 hours a day at night with no days off except Christmas worked out to about 3600 hours for which I was paid $8,000 at the end of the project which works out to about $2.22222 an hour for hard work, and my Social Security was not paid for that project. I was told when they were determining my disability income, if I had had four more quarters, I would have gotten the full amount of Social Security instead of SSI. I started working in the summers at age 16, so I had a lot of previous low income work experience.

08/05/23 Saturday 1:35 A.M.

I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.

When I was starving in the spring of 1977 when I came out of Key West at 125 pounds down from 185 pounds the previous year in Greenville, South Carolina where General Westmoreland was from, I had thought about becoming a Trappist Monk at their place in Vermont where they make jams and jellies. However, once Trappist Monks join the order, they can not leave the monastery unless called by the Pope. I once met somebody on the Farm in Lake Forest, Illinois whom told me he was going to become a Trappist Monk. In Lake Forest, they also had an old Jesuit Monastery near Lake Michigan that was brought over stone by stone from Europe a long time ago. Also in McHenry, Illinois just west of Libertyville, Illinois during World War II, the Catholic Church in Chicago, the wealthiest dioceses in the worldwide Catholic Church build a huge administrative monastery complex in McHenry, Illinois in case the Nazis kicked the Catholic Church out of the Vatican in Rome, they would have a retreat in the Western Hemisphere. Although I was not raised Roman Catholic, my paternal grandmother's Gard family that settled in York, Maine over four hundred years ago and ended up in down state Illinois as farmers were of the Roman Catholic faith. Thus in America all of us are pretty much a mixture. Her family were from Devonshire or Lincolnshire, England.

08/04/23 Friday 10:35 P.M. On a minor note on the Illinois Central Railroad something that the Scott family from Illinois know a lot about, they have fifty thousand miles of track in America with a spur line from Montreal to New London, Connecticut that is not supposed to be in very good shape. The Illinois Central Railroad was bought out by the Canadian National Railroads, and there largest stockholder in the Canadian National Railroads is Bill Gates of Microsoft. However, if one ever wants to figure out what goes on in colder Canada, a good place to start out at is the https://www.library.yorku.ca/web/scott/ just west of Toronto in the suburbs. It used to be opened 24 hours a day except Christmas, but I guess the Canadians in the warmer weather like to explore their vast country full of Grizzly Bears like up at https://www.banfflakelouise.com/ which is now owned by the Japanese. However, the Canadian National Railroad https://canadiantrainvacations.com/across-canada?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=CTV_USA_Search_Priority_c&utm_content=Trans_Canada_Train&utm_term=cross%20canada%20train_p&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItuz23bnEgAMVN_CUCR1EMQjkEAAYASAAEgKqrvD_BwE has trips across the Continent in the warmer weather. The former head of the windsurfers in Greenwich it is heard settled in the warmer area on the West Coast of Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia. One can also drive across America and take the Alaska highway up to Alaska, but there are probably a lot of bears that way too. About twenty years ago, I saw a Rolls Royce from Alaska in Greenwich in the winter. There used to be North American Inuit Indians in Greenwich in the winter working https://study.com/academy/lesson/inuit-tribe-facts-lesson-for-kids.html since it was not too cold for them here. Big Samoans with lots of body fat used to work in Greenwich in the winter, and when we used to have lots of snow, there were a lot of French Canadians down here working moving snow and working the power lines, but one has to pay them. They used to have a large pile of salt or sand stored at the Byram Shore Beach for road maintenance in the winter. When I lived in New Canaan, and I got bored one winter day, I drove from there up the New York Thruway to Canada, and I crossed into Canada, and I bought a big bottle of Duty Free Gran Manier liquor, and then I drove down the same way with a stop at the Lake Placid Winter Olympic site the week before the Winter Olympics there, but nothing was happening there. The roads were clear in my old $150 1971 yellow Subaru wagon from www.nantucket.net.

08/04/23 Friday 9:45 P.M. When I came out of Key West in the spring of 1977, I stored my belongings from Greenwich in a barn in Norwich, Vermont; where a friend was on the Board of Trustees of Norwich Military Academy. I was told in nearby Hanover, New Hampshire, one had to work two jobs up there, and the second one was to pay one's heating bill in the winter. Later on that spring, when I gave away my car to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift shop, I hitch hiked off Nantucket to Boston for the Boston Science fair, where I met an www.army.mil major who tried to recruit me, a Boston Lawyer, and a www.harvard.edu student on the Charles River Bridge who put me up for the night at a student apartment west of Kendall Square. I then walked to the Howard Johnson's for a dollar bowl of oatmeal, and then I hitch hiked up to Stowe, Vermont; where I cleaned up Sister Kate's bar after the ski season which was owned by the Le Languedoc people on Nantucket. After cleaning it up, I hitchhiked back down to Nantucket. I recall sitting up all night in a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts in the cold weather in Manchester, New Hampshire eating a dollar bowl of oatmeal. Also earlier that spring I had driven Jimmy Eldert up from the University of New Hampshire to Exeter, New Hampshire where I paid for the Inn there, and then to Hanover, New Hampshire where we explored around and stayed at the Wilder Motel in White River Junction, Vermont. Then I dropped off Jimmy back at the University of New Hampshire and returned to Nantucket, where I gave away the car which was too wide to park at 31 India Street where I lived on Nantucket in 1977 and 1978. In the season of 1983, I stayed at the Le Languedoc guest house basement on Hussey Street one block away from India Street. Also on Nantucket, the Farrell family that had the house by the Nantucket Youth Hostile owned a dairy in White River Junction, Vermont. At Le Languedoc, the Yale Chaplin William Sloan Coffin who worked as a carpenter was from Vermont. Also in Key West, the Casa Marina Hotel was built in the 1920s by the Spotswood family from Vermont. My friends that I was around February 1978 to February 1983 the Bolton family have a ski resort named after them Bolton Valley, Vermont near Stowe. Also the Watson family of www.ibm.com started and owned Smuggler's Notch Ski resort in Vermont. The Stratton family also have lived in Greenwich. A classmate at Greenwich Country Day School that looked like me whose father was the Chairman of Bankers Trust Bank moved to Vermont years ago. One of my few friends in this area used to live in Stowe, Vermont When I lived at 700 Steamboat Road, one of my neighbors worked at https://www.harringtonham.com/ when it was on Railroad Avenue in Greenwich across the street from https://www.benjerry.com/ . I was once told my current apartment looks like one of the private Vanderbilt Railroad cars at https://shelburnefarms.org/ in Vermont. Nelson Rockefeller's son Stephan Rockefeller was also the Dean of Middlebury College in Vermont, where they keep the Morgan Horses. On Beekman Place and Broadway and West 72nd Street at Christmas Time, they also sell Christmas trees from Vermont.

All of the local youth did crafts making pottery like they also did in Santa Cruz, California and Decatur, Alabama and Williamsburg, Virginia. Another time, I visited Stratton, Vermont in the winter to visit Taft Classmates, and I drove the whole way on Route 2 from Concord, Massachusetts. They had a hostile nearby in a neighboring town for local young skiers. Another time, in the summer of 1980, I drove up to www.dartmouth.edu in Hanover, New Hampshire, and it was 98 degrees Fahrenheit at night. I was put up in a fraternity house there. From there, I drove up to Montreal, Toronto, down to Key West and across country on Interstate 10 to California and up to Santa Barbara, where we found a camp site next to Ronald Reagan's ranch in the mountains near Solvang the Danish community famous for split pea soup. Another time when back in Greenwich, I drove up with a friend to Stratton, Vermont where Orvis fishing started, and where Pearl Buck the writer about China was from.

08/03/23 Thursday 4:35 A.M. Musk Lights https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanocallaghan/2020/04/21/what-are-those-strange-moving-lights-in-the-night-sky-elon-musks-starlink-satellites-explained/?sh=3e3d03477cbc . After being a house guest of Kip Forbes at the Forbes family farm in Far Hills, New Jersey in the summer of 1974, I spent a lot of time covering Greenwich Village, where their main office was. I was even homeless down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the fall of 1976 near Pier 66, where they kept their yacht the Highlander. Also when I lived at Julie Bolton's apartment at around 315 West 74th Street from December 1980 to February 1982 most of the time, I was near the West 79th Street Boat Basin, where they also used to keep their yacht. Back around 1965, I went with my older sister and her friend and our first real estate broker in Greenwich to www.westpoint.edu football game. My sister's friend's parent were there also, and they had us invited on the Forbes Yacht moored on the Hudson River. I recall signing my name in the guest book after Herbert Hoover's name, and Herbert Hoover's son also used to live in Greenwich, so with Helen Kress Williams being Teddie Roosevelt's neighbor in Oyster Bay, I go way back in the Republican party, despite having a friend at www.lakeforest.edu who was the next door neighbor of the Robert Kennedy's in Hyannisport. Well, Henry Cabot Lodge Junior, Richard Nixon's ambassador to Viet Nam was also a summer resident on www.nantucket.net . My sisters knew Scott Lowell, when we lived in the Boston area. There is an old saying in Boston, the Lowells only talk to the Lodges and the Lodges only talk to the Cabot's, and the Cabot's of Northeast Harbor, Maine in the summer only talk to God. Polaroid was once a prominent company in the Boston area employing thousands of people at many locations, but when we moved back to Greenwich around June 1973, most people in New York City thought Polaroid was part of Eastman Kodak despite the millions of dollars of advertising done by Doyle, Dane and Berback in New York City. Dr. Land of Polaroid would not let his executives travel to see what the competition might be doing, which I guess help lead to the downfall of Polaroid, when the stock in 1973 went from $126 a share to $2 a share. Polaroid kept the company going for a long time by laying off thousands of people, and they were spending over $40 million a month trying to keep the company going until years later it went bankrupt. From what I know, Polaroid is now a European company with manufacturing in the Netherlands, so I guess Europeans like instant photography. Polaroid leased millions of dollars of www.ibm.com computer equipment, which is one reason my family was friendly with the IBM Watson family in Greenwich. I even read in a declassified document from the CIA that Polaroid also made the cameras and film for the CIA Black Bird spy jet. Also the president of Raytheon lived next door to us in Boston. Dr. Land was also Richard Nixon's Science Advisor.

08/03/23 Thursday 3:20 A.M. When I went out, there was a semi truck that had tried to back into Wendy's that was not working and blocking the three right most lanes in West Putnam Avenue.

I then returned back uptown on Milbank Avenue and west on Putnam Avenue. The truck blocking the road was still there. I went to www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue. With discounts, I bought two mini Red Baron deep dish pepperoni pizza for $7.54 both with discounts. I then bought for 40% off a 3.5 mm ear phones for $9.47 and a Maxell 3.5 mm ear buds with microphone for $8.99 and $1.17 tax for $19.63 total. I then returned home.
