Note:<888>8/31/99 Tuesday 11:59 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message, and I stopped by the library and read the local paper. I noticed this interesting link many people frequently forget about Carnegie Corporation of New York . I then parked in the center of town. I walked down by the waterfront and stopped by the desk at the Greenwich Harbor Inn which costs $149 on weekdays and $119 on weekends. I noticed this afternoon underneath the Mianus I-95 bridge by the Bush Holly House, there was a very high tide at 2:30 P.M. coming up to two feet from the roadway. I noticed this evening, there was a very low tide down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and as I walked down by the end of Steamboat Road, I finally figured with the tidal extremes and very high tide, even if we get residual rain and wind from Hurricane Dennis, weather.htm , we could get local flooding in Old Greenwich and other low lying areas. I mentioned this to a couple of residents of Steamboat Road. I also mentioned it to the Greenwich Harbor Inn security. He mentioned Fort Benning, and I suggested it might be time for the Army of the South better known as the Fifth Army or the Black and Gold to think about traveling north to Camp Drum or even Montreal or Toronto, since this is just the beginning of the hurricane season. I mentioned that Zanadu down in Fort Lauderdale is large is large than the person I saw a week ago. Basically when that many people start moving, they need some large traffic officers to keep the vehicles moving along with moving other heavy equipment. I returned back uptown, and I saw a few skate boarders out and about town. I advised a local traffic officer about the high tide. I mentioned it to security at the Greenwich Office Plaza, Greenwich Capitol Associates, and a local car dealer whose vehicles might be jeapardized at Pray Audis lower parking lot, it that stream flooded. I sat out for a while and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue on a quiet night. I returned back by the Grand Union. I bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69 plus returned a $1.15 in cans. I returned home and filed this report. I have to stop the server and restart a new month's log. I will surg the net this morning, have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/31/99 Tuesday 8:15 P.M. EDT: I recieved a telephone call at noon today. I made an appointment to pick up somebody in Stamford. I then worked on the computer, and made a C: drive to E: drive backup, and a D: drive to E: drive backup. Each of the C: and D: backups have to be seperate files, since the program won't back up more than about 5 gigabytes to another hard drive. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I cleaned up. I changed the LPT 1 port to a different IRQ in the CMOS and I made it EPP. When I rebooted the computer the system recognized the LPT 1 port as EPP and also in the tape back up SCSI controller as EPP which is faster. I left the SCSI comtroller program as the default the Seagate software installed instead of updating the driver with a Win98 update. I started a 6 gigabyte tape back up of all three drives C:, D:, and E: without the hard drive backup files which I would not need on the tape backup. Starting about 2:30 P.M., it was all finished at 8 P.M., which with EPP is about 40% faster than regular pararell which would have taken about nine hours. Thus I get fast tape backups. I will do anther tape backup when I go to bed. At 3:30 P.M., I picked up a friend in Stamford and drove him over to pickup his girl friend, and I dropped him off at their accommodations. I then returned to home. I made up a bunch of pasta fraiche for dinner with iced tea and iced coffee. I watched the BBC evening news on Channel 21 at 7 A.M., and the McNeal Leher report at 7:30. I also briefly looked at the last two months of the Greenwich Post. Well I pretty much have the hallway rug dried up. I will put it back down in a day or two. I will then put on some rug deoderizer, and let it sit a half day while I am out, and then vaccum it up. I worked on pressing down the front part of the rug at the front door, so it opens smootly. Well have a good evening, I am off to the library and for a walk downtown. I need to restart the Apache server log at midnight. CIO

Note:<888>8/31/99 Tuesday 4:30 A.M. EDT: I worked on the computer on Sunday night and Monday morning. I tried to start a tape backup, and I went to bed about 3 A.M. on Monday morning. I was up at 9 A.M., when the Housing Authority inspected my apartment. I noticed the tape backup had failed. I worked on the computer all day Monday trying to get a tape backup to work. I finally reinstalled Windows 98 twice and reconfigured my system, and just now tried running another tape backup which failed. I have tried using both tapes, and they both don't work. I have setup the LPT port for EDC? which is faster. I had GU raisin bran for breakfast, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. About 2 A.M. this morning, I had Ramen noodles and ice tea. I will start the server shortly, and make a C: and D: drive backup to the E: drive. I will go to bed shortly, and I will try to figure out the tape drive problem later on today. I restored my homepages to their normal state. Well I am bushed, so have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/29/99 Sunday 9:40 P.M. EDT: Well I worked on the computer doing maintenance until about 9 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I went back to bed until about 2 P.M.. I worked on trying to setup my server, so it works with the American Online browser, but it does not, but it works with the regular web browser which AOL users would also use. I had some pasta fraiche and iced coffee about 3 P.M.. I started cleaning my apartment and watering the plants. I chatted with my next door neighbors when they arrived home, and I told them what happened to cause the leak in the their apartment. I propped up the carpet in my hallway, so it drys offer better; and the other part needs to dry more. I listened to Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Listen to the audiobook on broadcast.com while cleaning the apartment, and I got through the third cassette. I chatted with a family member about the hurricanes and figure that since both Cindy and Dennis are moving to the northeast, they might not come ashore; but they might converge. Possibly Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard or Provincetown might be effected. I dried out one my closets that was wet and through out some carpet remnants. I am just finishing making icetea.htm . I did my usual system maintenance running Norton Disk Doctor, Norton Win Doctor, doing a C: and D: drive backup to the E: drive and a E: drive backup to the C: drive. I ran Norton Speed Disk on all three hard drives. I still have to do a tape backup which I will do before I go to bed this morning. I also ran System Information and checked the System files restoring a few with newer files. Thus the system is running fine. AOL works fine, and I will have to look at it more when I have time. I will be paying $10 a month for using AOL with my cable modem, and the first month will be free. Well not much else happening. I will now have a Red Baron 4 cheese pizza for dinner. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/29/99 Sunday 4:00 A.M. EDT: Well I was up at 1:30 A.M.. I noticed in Yahoo news that President and Mrs. Clinton were in Chapaqua yesterday looking for houses. I believe Capaqua?, New York is just north of Armonk. I still think they should buy a house on Clinton Road in Bedford, New York. I finally signed up for American Online, and since I have add AOL instant messanger for a while, I got a easy Screen Name "mmikescott". Well I starting some routine system maintenance, and I have done the Norton Anti Virus scan. Now I will run Win Doctor and RegScan, before starting hard drive to hard drive backups. I will have breakfast and start my usual Sunday house cleaning. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/28/99 Saturday 5:50 P.M. EDT: I went down by the harbor after the last message, and said hello to regular observer. I stopped by Manero butcher shop and bought a steak sandwich for $5.05 and I had it with a diet coke. I ate it over on the waterfront on the steps of Greenwich Capital Associates. I observed the waterfront for a while. I had a chat with daytime security, and told them they should rename the outfit "Greenwich Harbor Associates" which sounds less mercenary. I also mentioned that if indeed Frankel is hiding out in Israel as rumour suggests, and if it is with cooperation of the Israeli government, more than likely the U.S. government would cut of aid to Israel and confiscate certain Israeli assets with the U.S. Government domain, so therefore it would not be in the interest for the Israel government of Israeli citizens to harbor him, once they know of his where abouts, and that they should turn him over to the U.S. Marshall's Office. I next walked down Steamboat Road, and I saw number 43 Canadian License plate, and I noticed another Canadian license plate parked at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I chatted with two French Canadian fellows about local activity. I chatted with a couple of other residents. I mentioned the large fellow on Tuesday Morning at 1 A.M. to one veteran, and he said he did not think a 600 pound man could parachute safely. I then walked back down by the waterfront, and chatted with a couple of fishermen. I next ran into another exercise walker, so I walked back down Steamboat Road talking about the weather and hurricane activity. I then returned back with that person to wear I had parked my car, and I returned home. I had Pasta Fraische, and a chilled Fresca soda in a frosted mug. I filed this report, and the party is over for me today, have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/28/99 Saturday 1:15 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message, and I chatted with some of my neighbors about the leaks last night. I drove by the Hospital Thrift Shop, and I viewed the merchandise. I drove by Putnam Trust Bank of New York, and I chatted with some of the staff. I stopped by CVS and I bought a grey carton of Dutch Treat Lights cigar cigarettes for $14.19 plus CT. sales tax of .85 for $15.04 total. I then drove down by the waterfront and viewed the harbor, and the regular rude fisherman with the Lincoln continental was there along with some other strangers. I noticed the birds were around the harbor, so nothing to worry about on the weather front, on a beautiful clear day. I chatted with a young couple from Old Greenwich and told them they should buy a shop vacuum to pick up water in case it floods down there. I also metioned to them a good way to do the floor in a waterfront home would be slate floor with cisle straw carpeting. I returned uptown and drove by the ELDC thrift shop, and they had some nice hard wood pieces of furniture there. I told them a German acquaintence was coming to visit a friend of hers today. I drove back downtown, and I parked in town, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and I chatted with a few village regulars whom were out enjoying the morning air. I mentioned to a couple of individuals they should put more pay phones on Greenwich Avenue. I mentioned to a whisky salesman that a nice elderly lady living near the Mayfair restaurant would appreciate a call from him. I mentioned to a maintenance person from the Housing Authority about what had happened last night, and what needed to be fixed. I sat out in the center of town for a while. I chatted with a couple and I told them a bit about my weather links at weather.htm , and when asked about the stockmarket, I said now would be a good time to sell technology stocks except for AT&T. I walked up the Avenue, and I told a South African resident about the individual I saw from darkest Africa the other night. I chatted with a fellow high school classmate, about what I had seen also. It got me to thinking, I had once seen him standing along the highway about July 1 or 2, 1976 about 200 miles north of Greenville, South Carolina when I was moving a Uhaul trailer up north with my old blue chevy, and stopped that night in Washington D.C. when it was on maximum alert for the bicentenial celebration, and I continued that night back to Greenwich. Perhaps the large dark African gentleman is station with the 82nd Air Borne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and he just dropped in on us to pay a visit, to see if we are all right. I then showed the individual the most expensive shop vaccum at the Greenwich Hardware store for $189 and recommended it is useful for cleaning up light water damage around the ocean front if there was only minor flooding. Of course if there was major flooding you probably would need an entirely new foundation, and the shop vacuum would be just an amusement for cleaning of the deck at the pool. I then returned and sat out for a while, and I returned home just now and filed this report. Well have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>8/28/99 Saturday 7:45 A.M. EDT: Well I finished using the towels to pick up most of the moisture off the carpet. I sat outside at sunrise and did my wash cycle on the towels. On the dry cycle, I went upstairs and took a good long soak in the tub to remove the aches and pains from my aching arthritic body, and I took the MSM and the Chondroitin Sulfate and Gauclosomine pills and two Tylenols, and now I feel better. I chatted with a neighbors daughter while folding my laundry. I guess I will go out for some fresh air after I have some Ramen noodles and fresh fruit about two weeks old to eat. Anyway I have lost ten to fourteen pounds this summer depending on how accurate the scale is, but I suppose I could try losing some more. Well have a good morning, and I will be back in a while to get some sleep. CIO

Note:<888>8/28/99 Saturday 4:05 A.M. EDT: Well for the last four hours, I took eight towels, and I have been placing on the wet parts of the carpet mostly in the entry leading around to the bedroom halfway and in the half way, and placing the towels down on the carpet, and walking on them and soaking up the moisture from the carpet, and ringing the towels out in the bath tub, and repeating the same procdure about 25 times so far to soak up the moisture out of the carpet. The hallway carpet because it had padding underneath and because it was thicker is taking more time. I will wash and dry the towels once I am done with the soaking up process. I have enough change for the laundry since I took a dollar in quarters from my Air Canada survival bag, so I now only have $11.50 emergency funds in the bag. I should have saved the water vacuum in the maintenance closet downstairs we used for cleaning up the water in the apartment next door, and downstairs, but the night maintenance fellow locked it back up in the closet. I am not sure if a water vacuum would work on carpet or not. Well another excitinig morning. Lets hope my water tank is secure, I don't want to go through this anytime soon again. While seaching for change, I found my Dan Qualye commerative coin, I got for going to the Dan Qualye reception at the George Bush inaugurual. However, I am so nearsighted anymore, that I can't tell Dany Qualye from Bill Clinton, since they both have that same midwestern look. I suppose the President is the fellow surround by the all the young people whom I guess are some sort of Treasury agents. As they say you know you're getting older when all the police look like kids. Well back to more of the mop up job. I suppose the people around Daytona Beach, Florida and further north might be doing what I am doing in a couple of days if hurricane Dennis keeps on its present course. Well have an enjoyable morning, and don't forget to look at weather.htm . CIO

Note:<888>8/28/99 Saturday 12:10 A.M. EDT: Well I made some Pasta Fraiche, which is basically green pasta and cheese sauce with herbs and white wine for dinner. I that with iced coffee. I was just about to go out about 9:30 P.M., when one of my neighbors downstairs came up to check out on a major water leak from the apartment next door where the new tenants moved in. Water was coming out from underneath their door. We knocked on the door, and we could not get it open. The local night doorman with the key could not get it open. Both the fire department and the police department arrived to try to get the door open. Finally the night man from the housing authority arrived, and got the door open. The tenants were not home, and the new hot water heater above their bathroom ceiling had started leaking. The plywood its sits on had warped and caused the pipe underneath to change position and caused it to start leaking. They turned off the electricity briefly in the apartment and they turned off the hot water. I spent the next two hours helping with the night maintenance fellow clean up the water in the apartment next door and and the apartment downstairs. We dragged out three area rugs from the apartment downstairs, and we used a water vacuum and mops to get most of the water off the floors. I am a little hot and sweaty, and I need to clean up again before going out. I guess they need to replace the plywood underneath the hot water heaters in the cieling before installing the new hot water heaters. I have a bit of water in my rug when you come in, and it should dry out in a day. I am a bit exhausted, I normally don't try to do that much work, but it was an emergency. Have a good morning, and I will try to get out in a while. CIO

Note:<888>8/27/99 Friday7:50 P.M. EDT: Yestereday when I went out, I put $13.35 of premim gasoline from Exxon in the car. I got up at noon today, and I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, vitamins, tangerine juice, and coffee. I then went back to bed until about an hour ago. Not much happening. I got a summon for jury duty today, but they don't answer their telephone at the 800 number, so I will have to cancel it for now. Well have a good evening. Not much happening. CIO

Note:<888>8/27/99 Friday 4:00 A.M. EDT: No major electrical storm as far as I can tell. I relaxed a bit and did a little internet surfing. Before I went out this past evening, I had a center cut pork chop, steamed mixed vegtables, microwaved potatoes, and iced coffee. I started up the server, and I guess I should start thinking of going to sleep. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>8/27/99 Friday 2:15 A.M. EDT: I made the usual rounds. I drove downtown and chatted with three local experts. I drove down by the waterfront, and chatted with two fishermen. I returned to down and walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then walked up the Avenue, and I walked a hospital employee up to work and chatted for a while. I returned to the center of town, and I told a passerby, that the Greenwich Harbor Inn had four feet of water in their lobby during Hurricane Hugo. They have sense rebuilt the seawall. I walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue, and I noticed a visitor was trying to use the pay phone at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Greenwich Avenue on the southeast corner, and it does not work. I returned to the center of town, and I observed lightning about a half hour ago. I drove down by the waterfront, and I turned on NOAA radio and there was a report that the storm was over Queens and dangerous. I told another waterfront observer, that it would be here in ten minutes and quickly returned home. I noticed the outside door on the building does not work, so I turned it off. I checked the immediate vicinity. I will now shut down the computer until the storm passes. NOAA weather radio has not come on for this area. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/26/99 Thursday 7:30 P.M. EDT: As I was going out for my 3 P.M. appointment, I chatted with two of my neighbors in the laundry room. They asked me if I ever hear noises at night in the building, and I told them I do all the time, but I just thought it was the wind in theattic thumbing against a loover or something, and I had gotten use to the sound along with the sound of the aluminum studs expanding and contracting. The one neighbor lives on teh ground floor, so I don't think she would here the noise that I do. I also mentioned that four nights ago, I had noticed a cieling panel out of place in the hall outside of my apartment. I was late for my 3 P.M. appointment but he was not there, so maybe the cannible got my 3 P.M. appointment. I got to thinking maybe the individuals whom lost the $3 billion dollars in the Frankel Investment hired this six foot four inch six hundred pound cannible to track down Frankel and bring him back to justice. There are established law enforcement agencies that know about such individuals, so maybe they hired this individual to start tracking Frankel and his gang whom embessled quite a lot of money. I next stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrif shop. I then went down by Steamboat Road and chatted with the regular security people at the Greenwich Capitol Finance building to see if their night security tape that would have shown the individual on the road that I refered to. They said they would investigate the matter. I then headed down by the harbor, and I noticed a lot of clouds over Long Island sound, so they are getting much of the rain not us. I chatted with a visitor from England about British history in America. I chatted with a few of the locals and told them what I had seen, but I don't think they believed me. I stopped by the Grand Union and buy one get one free of Tetley Tea bags for $3.69, a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69, a Tropicana tangerince juice half gallon for $2.50, and two cans of Chicken of the Sea white tuna in water for .99 each for $9.84. I returned home, and I saw one of my neighbors going off in the ambulence to the hospital as she has done quite a few times recently. I recieved a phone call to run an errand tomorrow night which I will do. I then updated this report. Remember to follow weather.htm . Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/26/99 Thursday 2:20 P.M. EDT: I printed up this door warning labal to put on my front door ghostdoor.htm , in case anyone is seeking unauthorized access to my apartment. I have to shut down the computer, and start the HP lazer printer first and after it cycles, then the cable modem, then boot the computer, and start the server, and then the HP lazer printer works. Have to get going. CIO

Note:<888>8/26/99 Thursday 2:00 P.M. EDT: I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I updated my Default homepages on the working home server and the still working Florida site to include my Tropical Weather page weather.htm . I noticed that besides the three Category 1 hurricanes ongoing, there is also a formation 700 miles east of Barbados and north of Brazil, so we have a fourth about to form, and it looks quite large. I reinstalled Iphone. I consulted with a local representative whom is very skinny, so she does not have to worry about cannibals, and advised her to contact Columbia University and the New York Natural History Museum about the cannibal matter. Last time we had this problem in the late 1970s, we had a large force of dog walkers which were moderately effective. I believe the natural predator to cannibals are pygmies whom use little poison darts to stalks their prey, so lets hope there are some pygmies in the area. Needless to say the supposed head of state has surfaced in the news again on the golf course in Marthas Vineyard, so the cannible I saw a day and a half ago knows where to look for him, if he should be the prey; or course he could be after other prey like other heads of state that might be traveling in the area, or even certain individuals whom have crossed him in the past. I just got a NOAA weather warning that there is flash flood warning in Mannerville, Long Island in Suffolk County and they're predicting six inches of rain. I am not sure what the forecast is for here. Well I have to start to clean up, I have a 3 P.M. appointment. Have an enjoyable afternoon. Remember nobody is allowed to use my apartment facilities without permission, and anyone whom is caught using the facility without permission is not knowledgable enough on the situation I have worked on for many years, and might possibly be the root of the problem. Well have an enjoyable afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>8/26/99 Thursday 11:05 A.M. EDT:Well I still have the my home server and Florida server running on Alert status default.htm and index.html for Full Alert status. I would imagine we are still on a cannbile watch which the NOAA weather radio does not signal for, but at the moment it is on for thunderstorms. I rested last night until 9 P.M., and I recieved a phone call from a family member and I told them about the cannble watch. Yesterday morning at 11 A.M., I also saw a missle flying over our air space from West to East about 11 A.M. in the morning, so I would imagine something is up. I advised the White House Secret Service they should put in whomever is the commander and chief in Cheyanne Mountain for safe keeping away from the cannible that seems to stalking him. As mentioned in my previous messages, there is no way apprehending this individual, since he is out of Darkest Africa and once he sets his goal on a target he always succeeds. I advised the Secret Service they should use Military Police to protect the President and search for the cannible. I chatted with the Post MP at West Point, and he said he would spread the message. I checked with Refrigerator Perry, and he indicated he did not want to get involved in looking for the Cannible. I then tried to fix my internet domains for www.mikescott.org and www.mikescott.net , but although www.mikescott.org was changed it was done improperly, and www.mikescott.net is still the same. Basically Internic won't accept the changes since it says my email address "mikelouisscott@home.com" is not correct email address for the adminstrator of record, but the WHOIS database indicates it is. This morning when I was finally up just now, I emailed Internic with both forms at their help desk to perform the changes for me. Internic is very tricky on changes, so hopefully they will get it all fix up. I had breakfast of Post Almond oats, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee last night when I was up, and I will have another breakfast now that I am awake again. Well I suppose we have to maintain the Alert status some more, since nobody knows the exact status of the situation. Last night I also advised the black British security officer at the Washington embassy as to the cannble report status, and he took down a full report. I suppose since we have the cannible around the Cruise ship the Queen Elizabeth II occassionally, he might sneek on board and us that vessle for traveling around. Well we're stay on alert for the indefinite time being, and try to keep all of forces on maximus security alert. Also I have a 3 P.M. appointment, so try to enjoy the rainy day. CIO

Note:<888>8/25/99 Wednesday 10:40 A.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, and I chatted with some of the usual morning fishermen. I mentioned that I had seen a rather large fellow about 1 A.M. on Steamboat Road, what appeared to be a black African about six foot four inches and about six hundred pounds. I have seen him lingering on the Cruise Ship docks in the west 50's in the late 1970's, and also along Route 95 north of Greenwich, South Carolina, and around the south Florida harbor in Port Everglades and occassionally in Key West in the 1970s. I have never seen this person in the day time, and when he was around New York Harbor in the late 1970s people thought he was a long shoreman. However, people started disappering and the local sanititation department started finding body parts in the garbage on Amsterdam Avenue. However, according to informed observers in all those locations where similar events happened, he was a African Cannible from the Sudan Region of Africa who traveled around the world sneeking on shipping vessles to his entry and exit from various coutries. Since he grew up around wild animals in varous parts of Africa, he has instincts like a wild animal, and very few people have lived to see him and report it, if he happened to be hungry. Once you see him you won't see him for many years again. However, since he travels on foot but does know how to use automotive transportation, he could be hiding out anywhere, more than likely the wooded areas of Greenwich, Connecticut. Since tracking animals are instinctively afraid of him, they won't track him. The police dog tried to give me a warning the other night when it passed by me which normally is not part of its normal routine. Basically hunting him would be like hunting a black lepard, and quite a few hunters have tried to hunt him down, but nobody has ever returned alive. The best thing if you happen to see this individual is to avoid him. As I mentioned he never roams during the daylight hours, and I have never seen him in Greenwich before, but since I have seen him around the cruise ship waterfront in Manhattan, more than likely he has followed out various members of the British Commonwealth delegations into the area, so as enjoy the ambience of the Greenwich atomosphere and dining which is well advertised world wide. Let's just hope he does not take a fancy to feasting on any of our local residents. I would advise the sanitation department to keep an eye out for any remants of his feasting on the local population. However, he more than likely is long since gone, but as usual since the local population tries to maintain visitors privacy, perhaps he is enjoying a private hideout in the woods somewhere nearby, waiting until he gets hungry again. Well I also discussed hurricane probabilities and mentioned that the Navy Reseach Lab satellite photos Internet site at Monterry, California don't work for the last two days. I also mentioned the Europeans release similar satellite photos, if you look at weather.htm , and link from http://www.ccc.nottingham.ac.uk/pub/sat-images/DTOT.JPG which shows basically the same cloud formation which could develop in the Carribean Basin or elsewhere along the Gulf or Atlantic coasts in a few days. So I would advise people in those regions to keep a weather eye. Also I chatted with White House Secret Service Intelligence, and they said they don't care anymore. Thus I would advise the U.S. House of Represenatives and the U. S. Senate to convene quid pro quo and impeach both the President and the Vice President for High Crimes and Mistermeanours, and to place the Speaker of the House in the Executive Branch. This could be done legally in a half hour once both houses are convened. Well in other news I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and Putnam Trust Bank of New York and advised them to advise the state of Connecticut to pay the electricity for the tenants of the buidling that I live in as per the lease agreement. I also mentioned that if the oil from the middle east were cut off, there is plenty of coal to keep the steam plant going south of the United Nations to keep at least Manhattan running during an oil embargo. Well not much else going on, so I chatted with my neighbors, and I will go to bed slowly. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/25/99 Wednesday 6:40 A.M. EDT: Well I sat around consulting with a few other night people this morning, and basically nobody cares anymore, so you're all pretty much left on your own to your own defences, so have a nice day, and do as best as you can. On an impending matter today, I would leave it up to the Czar and not try to interfer with his domain, since in the long run he would have had the wisdom to forsee this matter. Well I am out for a little fresh air, and remember not to take any wooden nickles. As far as I can tell, the local group of representatives appearing on television as government represenatives might be, but we're not sure how far their real authority goes beyond the Cablevision studios in Norwalk, Connecticut. Thus I would recommend all to remain calm, and since there was a ring around the moon last night, we might get a little rain today. CIO

Note:<888>8/25/99 Wednesday 2:40 A.M. EDT: Well, I sat around and jaw boned until about 11 P.M.. I went out and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. It was quiet out. One young kid with a Brazilian flag in his window above Thatways has been yelling out his apartment window constantly this week, which is against town ordinances. I advised an employee of Thataway to advise him. I noticed the ever efficient town maintanance crews were watering the hanging plants on Greenwich Avenue. I told them they should look at the old map in the window of the store across from the Dome restaurant is, and see how the natural watershed was hundreds of years ago, before we made improvements. It was very quiet out. I went down by the waterfront, and there were a few fishermen down there. I decided to drive by the town resevoir, so I drove up North Maple, and then up Lake Avenue, and took a right on Bobalink and drove over by the reservoir damn and the water company. I noticed with the reservoir lower, the are doing construction improvements on the damn, so hopefully if we ever get a major rainstorm, the damn will hold back the water it is suppose to. It is an old earthern damn, so frequently the water leaks underground, and it can weaken the damn, no matter how strong it is up top. This frequently happens with older earthen damns. I then drove up along the resevoir, but I could not see much. I drove up Lake Avenue, and I took a right on Close Road and then I turned right on Upper Cross Road, and then I took a right on North Street and drove down and looked at the resevoir by the parkway. It is down a bit. I noticed a deer out in the street by Lindsay Drive. It is frequently important when driving in backcountry at night to drive very slowly, so as not to run into deer which back country has plenty of, and frequently car lights startle and even stun their vision, so they don't always run away. I then drove down Old Church Road and back west on Putnam Avenue and down Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront, and the Sea Falcon is back again taking refuge from the high seas and a few other craft. The parking lot of the Greenwich Harbor Inn is full. I noticed the same fishermen. I also noticed a rather large man whom looked like an African Chief or Head of State walking around about 6 foot 4 inches and maybe six hundred pounds, and he looked to be in fairly good shape. I suppose he likes checking out the fishing also. I returned home, and I had a chilled Citra soda in a frosted mug. Well it has been a quiet evening overall. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 7:55 P.M. EDT: Well I had dinner of broiled boneless center cut pork chop, two ears of steamed Connecticut home grown white sweet corn, a microwaved potatoe and iced coffee. I ran the Norton anti virus program while having dinner, and the system is still virus free. I suppose not much is happening as is par for the course on a lazy August summer evening. Well enjoy the evening, and I guess I will start cleaning up, and getting ready to go out for an evening stroll. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 5:30 P.M. EDT: I went to bed after the last message until about 5 P.M., so I was still tried. I updated Scott's Broadcast sound.htm . Well I guess I will have a bite to eat, and start to clean up before going out in a while. Have an enjoyable evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 12:50 P.M. EDT: Generally after a major hurricane like hurricane Bret in South East Texas, those of us whom have combed beaches find it interesting to comb the shores of beaches to find out what the hurricane might have washed ashore. Of course you would have to keep a weather eye weather.htm in case another hurricane came along. Any experience person living along the shore knows that after a major the store, the seashore is very interesting to explore, it is like examining the fingerprints of the ocean. Well have a good day any of you beach combers. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 12:40 P.M. EDT: Well I recieved a phone call about 10 A.M. this morning, and I chatted. I started the computer server again. The hack attack seems to be over for now. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, bacon, toast, vitamins, tangerine juice, and coffee. I tried calling another family member. I was studying www.shell.com - About the Shell Group and I noticed this interesting tidbit that I did not know about Shell:

The 1950s were also important for the development of natural gas. In 1959, a joint Shell/Esso exploration company called N.V. Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) discovered one of the world's largest natural gas fields in Groningen in the Netherlands. Production began in 1963, and by the early 1970s, Groningen was already supplying half the natural gas consumed in Europe.

So I guess anybody from Groningen, Netherlands would have a little bit of reserve energy. Well I guess if you wanted to compete against them you could try opening a Sea Shell shop, and start exploring for Sea Shell, and see what else you might find. I just checked my mail, and I recieved a letter from Texas; so I guess the U. S. Post Office is still working down in Southeast Texas. Well have a good day, I guess I will clean up shortly and go out. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 4:40 A.M. EDT: About 3 A.M., I was hit with a massive hacker attack from IP address 202.96.233.35 that brought down my @home cable modem service. It constantly keep trying to load the Mosart Figaro music I have posted on my server, and I use to use a short bit of that same music for advertising Exxon on my site, so maybe there is something wrong with Exxon down there in Texas or one of their stockholders elsewhere in the world. I guess when lots of people are away here, anyone could go into somebody's office and use their high speed T-100 Internet Access for a hacker attack, which would not be ethical. Well from what I can tell, there is no way to study any of the weather.htm information here. Basically from what I can tell, possibly other cable modem users beside myself in the area might have been brought down because of the hack attack. This is not the way the U. S. government would stop internet access, they would just turn it off like a light bulb. From what I can tell from talking with a few security people nothing is going on as far as they know. Well it is about time I call it a day, so the server will probably be down until I wake up, and hopefully the problem is fixed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 2:35 A.M. EDT: Well I finished the laundry. I also recieved email from Network Solutions - Domain Name Registration Services from the dot com people that they have accepted the change of my my domain name www.mikescott.org to my home domain server where mrscott.com is located, so it should go in effect in a couple of days when the various ISPs automatically update their name servers. I have to wait for the Florida site to send in the email for that site to be changed. Well have a good morning. Enjoying the peace and quiet around town for a change. CIO

Note:<888>8/24/99 Tuesday 1:10 A.M. EDT: Well it is an even number day today, so all you even number people can get out there and water today. I went downtown after the last message about 10 P.M.. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice, and not much was going on. I noticed a granny walking around carrying a very tiny baby. I surveyed the Mitchell's construction site, and it looks like it is progressing fine, but it looks like at the rear of the project at Mason Street, they're going to dig down more for lower level parking, which means a lot more blasting in the area. I sat out at the Post Office plaza viewing the many flowers from Jim McMillans bench. They still look great. I then walked on down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and chatted with the regular night clerk, and I told her about www.radiolinx.com . She told me in September, they're closing for a year for remodeling, so I guess it will be a little slower down on Steamboat. I walked over the General Reinsurance now GEICO rented by Greenwich Associates building and I chatted with the regular security personnel. One of them use to work for the Saudi Arabian Royal family, so I told him the eldest son of Prince Fhad had passed away last Saturday at age 55 while attending a sporting event in north Africa. I explained that the Saudi throne descend down to younger brothers until they're all gone and then the eldest son of the previous generation's oldest brother. Thus it tends to be an older monarch. I also mentioned that the Swedish throne passes to the eldest child male of female. I also mentioned that after over a thousand years, the British intend to keep the monarch since they're like Micky Mouse in Disney World, and that after 400 years of investing here, the British are still the largest stockholders in America, since they got property when it was cheaper. I then returned back to the center of town and sat out for a while. I then went to the Grand Union and bought a half gallon of Tropicana tangerine juice for $2.50. I mentioned out in Michigan they raise a lot of turkeys. I also mentioned the Lea and Perrins family have a rather large old house in Newport, Rhode Island on the harbor. I mentioned that if the President and First Lady bought New York property on the Connecticut boarder, she could live in New York; and he could live in Connecticut and they could use both the White Plains and the New Haven secret service offices, but the New Haven people take forever to get here, since they have to commute from greater distances. I then returned home and started my laundry. I next put in about a half dozen teaspoons of fruit sorbet in a frosted mug with chilled Citra soda for a refreshing summer drink.Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 9:35 P.M. EDT: Well I finished watering. One of my neighbors thought today was the 22nd, and I told him it was the 23rd; so it was all right to water. I noticed from my compass direction of my Nautical Marine compass in my car due North is from the entrance to the buiding is across the family apartments and across the Post Road. This evening the moon was in the southeast about 7/8 full. I noticed something that did not jive with my fundamental navigation principles. When I grew up around NASA near Huntsville, Alabama and the redstone arsenal, I learned a bit about astronomy. I was told that whenever you follow the outside edge of the cup of the big dipper upwards that points due North. This evening the big dipper was in the Northwest sky, but the outside edge upwards pointed towards the Southeast. Either I have my constallations mixed up, or the Starship Enterprize inverted the Polar Axis of the planet or we are in Greenwich, Connecticut; Australia in which case the Queen of England might be the boss or the Duke of Windsor, if he is actually still the King, and whomever is supposedly the Prime Minister of Australia. Of course it could be New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, South Africa or some other southern hemisphere country that looks like Greenwich, Connecticut. Well so much for script scenarios. Well have a good evening, I guess I will go out slowly for an evening stroll. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 7:50 P.M. EDT: I worked on changing my Internic registrations until 3:30 P.M., and I then cleaned up. I had my 4 P.M. appointment delayed until 4:30 P.M.. I made my appointment. I drove down by the waterfront, and the usual group of fishermen were there. I returned home, and I called www.123bizweb.com and confirmed with them my email to have then change my Internic address for www.mikescott.org and to release the Adminstration of it to my email address. They said they would do it. I called www.valueweb.net at 1-800-522-1093, and I chatted with them about changing my Internic address for www.mikescott.net , they said it should have gone through since Internic has my current email address for that web site. I said that when it was originally setup it was mikescott@ibm.net and possibly the Whois database which lists me at Internic is not the same as the database they use for changing domain name information. They said they would try to submit the form from their site which is listed as a technical contact. They said to wait for 24 hours and to see if it goes through. I chatted with them about Florida. On the way home from my appointment, I stopped by the Farmers stand between Byram and downtown Old Greenwich across from the Chyrsler dealership at the Nursery there. I bought four ears of sweet white corn for $1.35. The young fellow told me that it comes from New Milford, Connecticut and because of the drought, they have limits on the amount of corn he can purchase for resale. At 5 P.M., he only had about 20 ears left. After chatting with my web site operators, I broilded a boneless center cut pork chop, two ears of corn, and microwaved two small potatoes for dinner. I at the pork chop with Lea and Perrins worstershire sauce, and I also had ice coffee with dinner. Well today is an odd day, so I guess I will go out and give the plants a soaking. Well have an enjoyable evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 2:40 P.M. EDT: I transferred my Internet Domains for www.mikescott.net and www.mikescott.org to my home server which will also still be mrscott.com , so that should go through in a couple of day. I have to get ready for a 4 P.M. appointment, have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 11:40 A.M. EDT: I was up at 10:30 A.M. this morning. I have yet to have breakfast. I found a U.K. free email site for travlers at Fireball Free Email , and I now have the U.K. email mailto:mikescott@fireball.co.uk or "mikescott@fireball.co.uk". I will have to remember to check it, since I might forget to lot onto the site, and with usual free email servers, I am not sure if if would work with my email program. I had a bite of the sorbet, and it is pretty good. I will now have breakfast of Post Almond Oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins. Well enjoy the day. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 2:45 A.M. EDT: I tried to sleep, but I was not tired yet, so I had the rest of the Dacquari Ice. I then took most of the rest of the fruit mixture and processed it in the CuisineArt, and I then froze it in smaller rubbermaid containers and the old Old Daquari Ice container from Baskin Robins, and I froze it; so tomorrow I should have about a half gallon of Pineapple Cantaloupe with flavors sorbet. Well today is suppose to be a clear day, so I will try to get some sleep. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>8/23/99 Monday 12:45 A.M. EDT: I watched the movie until 8 P.M.. I installed AOL 4.0 from my Windows 98 Cdrom. I followed this link for installing Try AOL NOW! . I called them at 1-800-827-6364 and they told me I could get an account to work with @Home for $10 a month, but first I have to find a friend of relative to let me use their credit card. I left AOL 4.0 on the machine. I told the AOL representative about my weather.htm page. However, I had forgot to restart the server after installing AOL 4.0. I went out about 10 P.M., and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of times. There was a minor fender bender in front of planet pizza. I walked up by http://www.restorationhardware.com/ and judging from the prices they are getting for new solid oak furniture in the thousands of dollars, I would say there is money to be made restoring old oak furniture which is similarly made. I studied some older maps in one store window which are interesting. It was quite quiet out, and the town was dead as a door nail. I drove down by the waterfront, and it was quiet. I noticed a large new yacht at the Greenwich Harbor Inn, "M?something Kay". I returned home about 11:30 P.M.. On the way out, I put two blue bathroom towels that are about the same color blue as my Volvo interior on the front seats, since the old Volvo seats are beginning to wear out. Not really much to report on. I had a Citra soda in a frosted mug when I returned. I suppose in another week more people will be around with people ending their summer schedules and getting back to their normal work schedules. Well have a good morning, I am off to bed. CIO

Note:<888>8/22/99 Sunday 6:15 P.M. EDT:Greystoke the Legend of Tarzan started on Channel 37 on the Arts Channel, so I guess I will watch the rest of it. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>8/22/99 Sunday 5:10 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I drove down by the waterfront, and the grey skies look ominous with needed rain. I returned to the center of town, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice. I put black electric tape around my right rear tail light where it is cracked to keep the moisture out, so it does not freeze over in the winter. I chatted with a few locals. I noticed quite a few people out exercise walking. I drove back down by the harbor and viewed the waterfront and the cloud cover again. The wind is out of the north, so I suppose the cloud cover is actually coming from the north, not the leading edge of hurricane Bret from the south. I stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69, 20 oz. GU raisin bran $2.19, and at $2.99 a pound four center cut boneless pork chops for $5.53 for a total of $9.41. I returned home and broiled one of the pork chops with two small microwaved potatoes and steamed frozen brocolli heads and mixed vegatable. I had them all for dinner with Lea and Perrins on the pork chop with ice tea for a beverage. After dinner I am having iced coffee. I also am just finishing up making a half gallon of coffee for iced coffee to put in the refrigerator to cool. Well I am not sure what the next step is, but I suppose I will find out soon enough. Also the Grand Union had a dozen or more large four foot tropical plants in front of the store for sale for $10 each. If you happen to have sunlight in your domain, they would do well. CIO

Note:<888>8/22/99 Sunday 12:30 P.M. EDT: Well after breakfast, I tried listening to the BBC Radio Five BBC Radio 5 Live - Home page , but they were not broadcasting. I tried listening to the www.ttalk.com weekender recorded broadcast, but it was not posted. Thus for the next few hours I listened to Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Listen to the audiobook on broadcast.com while I did my housecleaning and watered the plants. I made it through the first two casettes, and now I will have some fresh fruit and iced coffee, before cleaning up and going outside. broadcast.com: AudioBooks Home Page has lots of interesting books to listen to which make interesting audio content. Well have an enjoyable afternoon, amd don't forget to keep an eye to weather.htm. CIO

Note:<888>8/22/99 Sunday 8:15 A.M. EDT: Well I am up. I added a few more links to weather.htm . I will have three fried eggs, five strips of bacon, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins for breakfast. I will then start cleaning my apartment. Have an enjoyable morning. CIO
