Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 5:00 P.M. EDT: After the last message, I walked downtown and stopped by the Fashion Light Center after saying hello at Pray Porsche. I bought four candlelabra light bulbs frosted 15 watts for $5.72 total. I reminded them that the President of Frist Lady stop in for light fixtures, they can get wholesale prices through the general services administration, since the government usually buys wholesale. I next walked over to Exxon and my Volvo was ready and hour early. They charged me $190.39 total. I paid $4.95 for an oil filter, $9.95 for five quarts of motor oil, $7 for a steel brake line, 2 cans of CRS brake cleaner $12.36 both, 2 cans Wagner brake fluid $7.52 total, Oil and Filter Change $15.08, Brake Inspection $39.95, Replace brake line from master cylander flush and bleed brakes as needed $82.80 fpr a total $41.78 parts, Labor $137.83 and $10.78 tax for $190.39 total. I next stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I next stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop and viewed the displays. I next stopped by CVS and bought a grey carton of Dutch Treat Lights cigar cigarettes for $15.03 and a can of mixed party nuts for $3. I nexted drove down the Avenue and parked on Steamboat, and chatted about geological and government facts with a local. I mentioned that people on both sides of the roads on either side of the hedges can you along with the Russian consulate across the sound in Glen Coe, Long Island. He mentioned that theoretically if their were an asteroid or meterite impact soon it would probably be 22 miles south east of Steamboat Road. He conjected it would produce a mile high wave which in the midwest in the safe zone would have knee deep water. Thus you would have to be at least at 6,000 foot elevation, which means Mount Royal might not be high enough in Montreal. I suppose the Hidden Valley up around Lake Louise in Canada might be at a high enough elevation. Well for now I will hope for at least an hour warning, so I can hitch a jet from Westchester to the high ground. Well I chatted with another local. I then returned home and the brakes are working fine. I installed the four new bulbs on the living room sconces. I then made a short phone call. I then updated this report. I had a Citra soda when I arrived home. I am very tired, so I will go to bed soon. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 1:05 P.M. EDT: I have been doing a little internet work and telling fish stories. I don't have a Thursday afternoon appointment. I recieved a telephone call from Exxon about 10:30 A.M.. They said the problem was just a leaky brake line. They are also going to replace the brake fluid and tighten the fan belt. They said it should be ready by 3 P.M.. I went out and chatted with my neighbors and studied the weather. I think it should stay clear for a while. I recieved a $36.84 check from ValueClick and a $20 check from Recotron for the speaker rebate, so when I go uptown; I will deposit them at Putnam Trust Bank of New York, and then I will linger in the library until the car is ready. I just had some fresh mellon and Ramen noodles along with ice tea; so I think I will have enough energy to make it uptown. I guess I will leave shortly as soon as I put my shoes on, and I will take my umbrella with me. Well have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 7:10 A.M. EDT: I went out at 5:30 A.M. and studied the sky, it looks like we might get a bit of rain today. I dropped by the Volvo at Greenwich Exxon 6 A.M. to have the brakes repaired at Greenwich Exxon. I walked over to the ATM at Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds and stopped by the Post Road news stand and bought buy one get one free of Merit Ultra Lites for $3.49. I then walked back west on Putnam Avenue and returned home. It is very hot and sultry hot, so I will stick by the air conditioner today and relax a bit and do internet work. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 5:15 A.M. EDT: For any of you civic minded people whom like going to events here is a link that might interest you Greenwich Hospital Construction News . CIO

Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 4:50 A.M. EDT: In other news that rather expensive home that George H.W. Bush visited in Brazil while president that the Rockefellers built for their german friends to hide out in, since it is out in jungle surrounded by alligator motes and other natural defenses reminds me of the old short story my sister read in the car when we moved up from Alabama years ago called, "Lineengine? and the Ants". Well who knows what natural defenses linger in this area besides something like Yeti, Wolves, Bears, Tiger Sharks, addicted shoppers, and gourmet diners. Well think about the historical knowlege in this area. CIO

Note:<888>9/07/99 Tuesday 2:50 A.M. EDT: I called a relative in Pennsylvannia to tell them they would have a little rain today. I went back to bed and was up at 1 A.M.. I started cooking a Cookin Good chicken in the over which will be ready about 3:30 A.M.. I am also on the dry cycle of the laundry which will be done about the same time. I am also forgot to wash my bath towel. I noticed all the republican candidates are up in New Hampshire yesterday, so maybe they will come through town and hood wink us again. One has to remember that the Tuesday after a holiday all the clubs in town will be closed, so today will be like a Monday with the old people doing their shopping and the Club people loittering in town looking for something to do. Since it is suppose to rain heavily today, I think I will hold off until tomorrow to do my brake repairs at Exxon, since they will be busy today. Well not much else to report. I suppose the people whom read newspapers are a little confused by the local reality here in Greenwich, since private people don't like making public their private lives which tend to be rather ordinaary and involved quite a bit of work, to maintain the relatively high standard of living we enjoy. Well from what I can tell nobody ever bothers me, since the local grapevine advises people I am usually on a different schedule than the daytime want a bees. Well if you ever tried a night schedule you get more done since there is less partying and less people to deal with when one goes about their simple chores. Well have a good day, I might go out around 4 A.M. for a weather check or I might just do a little routine internet work. CIO

Note:<888>9/06/99 Monday 7:50 P.M. EDT: I was up at 4 P.M.. The NOAA weather radio is on yellow alert for this area, look at Weather Warnings, Watches, Forecasts, Reports & Weather Information. . I did a little regular internet work. I downloaded and installed WordWright -- A Totally FREE Wordprocessor to see what it is like. It seems to do the job, although I already have Wordperfect 6.0 I believe. I had breakfast when I got up of three fried eggs, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and five strips of bacon. I might relax for a while before cleaning up and going out. Well have a good evening. I checked with the local police department to see if any of our local residents were stranded at their summer homes on Figure 8 Island off North Carolina where hurricane Dennis arrived in that area. I noticed all the republican candidates were up in New Hampshire today, and maybe they will come through this area. Also Elizabeth Dole's homepage Error Occurred While Processing Request still does not work. I guess the local and national political scene is a little messed up by the weather weather.htm . The person I gave directions to on Greenwich Avenue was either a Bill Gates and his wife or look alikes, it is hard to tell since I am somewhat nearsighted from looking at PCs for the last ten years and slightly deaf from listening to to Disco music for 20 years before that. Well as the model of the Greenwich Library reads "Let's See What Comes Next", I guess tomorrow the town will be back to their normal routine more or less. CIO

Note:<888>9/06/99 Monday 7:10 A.M. EDT: I finished off the reheated speghetti, and also made a batch of cut up honeydew melon, and added a bit of white wine, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and angostora bitters to it. Well I went out last evening about 11 P.M., and I walked down Greenwich Avenue. A very polite young couple visiting town asked me me if the street they were walking up was Greenwich Avenue, and I explained that it was and it ran up to back country which runs all the way up to Hudson's Bay and beyond. I also explained a lot of Canadians keep Greenwich going in the winter which this year is expected to be very severe from what I can tell so far, so we might need an experience snow town manager like Ford from Vail when Ragland is sipping punch in Barbados. I explained to them that they were on Greenwich Avenue, and the cross street was railroad avenue, and that the street down on the end was Steamboat Road, and the cross street there was Arch Street. I then walked up the Avenue, a bit and observed that it looked like Sadie Hawkins day downtown with all the youngsters enjoying the holiday weekend. I sat out in the center of town for a while. I then walked down to the bottom of Greenwich Avenue, and continued walking on down Steamboat Road, and I stopped by to say good evening at the desk at the Greenwich Harbor Inn, and told them about the family emergency. I noticed a wedding party was arriving. I next walked down the waterfront past the Sea Falcon, and told them some fishermen in front of Greenwich Harbor Associates that I had seen hundreds of blue fish last Thursday evening jumping out of the water at the entrance to Tod's Point to the east, so I imagine it is good fishing down there at hide tide. I noticed one fishermen had caught a large fish. I next went of down by the waterfront, and not much was happening. I walked back uptown and sat out for a while until about 1 A.M. when it started raining. I then drove down by the waterfront, and walked out on the pier and removed a empty bottle of Lindeman wine and a empty bottle of Heiniken along with a Coke can placed them in the new trash receptacle to try to make the place where lots of fishermen fish look a little bit more presentable. I observed the weather patterns as usual, and it was very ominous with very severe black clouds in the sky over Long Island. I noticed the whole North Shore of Long Island was lit up like they were having hurricane parties. A young couple showed up and started making out. Just about the time I was about to leave, a local patrol officer stopped by and ran them off. I explained to the officer that I was making weather observations and I was quite experienced in such a capacity. I think he finally believed me. I waited until he left, and I returned back home shortly thereafter when it started to rain. I next relaxed a bit and recited old fish stories from the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion that we all have heard many times before. I finally exhausted the bed time story, and about 6:30 A.M. NOAA weather warning alert came on with a Flash Flood Warning for Rockland County. I did not do any internet work since it is a holiday, I decided to relax. I mentioned the old Jim Scott story, and they got a kick out of it that I remembered it, but as far as I know I would rather not think back any further in time for now. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 8:00 P.M. EDT: I finally got around to updating Scott's weekly broadcast sound.htm . Well I might try relaxing for a bit or surfing the net. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 6:30 P.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed a few walkers. I next drove down by the waterfront, and watched somebody pull in a blue fish. I stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought a large box of Total for $3, two Florida Natural Orange Juices for $2.50 each, 2% GU milk for $1.69, a Cookin Good chicken for $5.09, a HoneyDew mellon for .99 for $14.75 total. I next returned home in a heavy downpour. Well have a good evening. I have to reboot the server. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 3:30 P.M. EDT: Well I chatted with a friend about 9 A.M. this morning about the 12 meter yachts. I rested until about 2 P.M., when I recieved a phone call from a relative out west about the tennis tournament on Long Island. I did noticed a blimp flying over Long Island the other day, so maybe they're trying to promote some sort of event. I watched a bit of a program on PBS channel 13 about DeBeers Consolidated Mining and their present day activities under the communist government in South Africa. I suppose they're still trying to sell diamonds, but since they are not hebrew, they don't know anything about the business. I had some tuna fish and ramen noodles. On the phone call from out west a relative is ill in Maine again, so that needs to be paid attention to. Not much happening here. I have not been out since Thursday night I belive, and I have just been relaxing at home, and I have not cleaned up since then, so I am all dirty and gruby, but I suppose I could shower and clean up, and try to drive my car with low break pressure on damp roads which would reduce the breaking effectiveness anymore. I recieved a summons for jury duty, but I think I will tell them I can't make it, so I don't feel like looking at some character like Frankle over a long extended trial, if you know what I mean. The 800 number for jury duty information does not work in Connecticut, so I would assume the local communist party has taken over most of Connecticut. Well that is all I know for now. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 5:20 A.M. EDT: We had a conference with Western Hemisphere leaders, and we decided we should intercept the unidentified aircraft in South Africa, intercept it and force it to land in the Falkland Islands for a thorough search of the passenger and aircraft to make sure that no nuclear military armament was procured in China to be used against established authority in the Western Hemisphere. I was advised all force to go to their safe havens, and to maintain constant surveillance on the aircraft in question at at least 50 miles distance, so in case they should to decided the said nuclear weapon, it would not harm the intercepting aircraft. Basically from what I can tell, they might be trying to gain entrance at the Scott Amudsen weather research station in Antartica which is a key military and scientific research facility which a group could possibly gain entrance to or attack this time of year, but if they landed or parachuted in, they would not get out until around mid November at the earliest. Well I am not sure what the status is of the overall situation. Perhaps it is a bunch of British school boys who escaped when they got wind of the fact that we were thinking of making a remake of Lord of the Flies in case there was another hurricane or tropical storm in some location which would be a realistic setting for the novel. Since we don't know what the status of the incoming aircraft his, as the Swiss observer, I would have to advise that the usual quaranteen controls and other security procautions be used to assertain the nature of this group of internet travelers whom seem to like Russian classical music. From what I can tell, it might be a SST or TU-144 or military craft which would only have the capability of flying from China to South Africa without refueling in Diego Garcia. Thus we will continue to try to monitor the craft with our satellite surveillance equipment unless possibly the sattelite surveillance equipment has been compromised. In which case we might be dealing with a terrorist group trying to enter the Western Hemisphere through South America, and working there way into North America with a terrorist device. Since I am not briefed on modern weaponry or devices I am not sure what the real status of the group might be. From my viewpoint it is worth paying attention to since it has been going on for close to two weeks now. It might be some sort of Beatles Magical Mystery tour, but it will be interesting to see where they end up next, I bet Brazil to try to force entry into the Western Hemisphere. Well who know for sure. If they head over towards New Zealand again, we might be in real trouble. It might have something to do with Welcome to IUGG99 coming to and end, or maybe a major international effort is being made on some other front besides the Turkish earthquake and tropical storm season. It all seems rather peculiar. Thus we should continue to remain at our various safe locations for the indefinite future, until we are sure what the real situation is. Well good hunting. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 3:55 A.M. EDT: I noticed from the news that they claim they have caught Frankle. However from my link Apache Status for my server the music bandit or one of his associates have fled from China to South Africa with the loot. I noticed in the story they said Frankle made off with $50 million in diamonds and they arrested him with $10 million in diamonds, so I think it is safe to assume that one of his associates is still traveling around with the loot. I have advised the Greenwich Police, and I told them to advise Debeers Security in South Africa. Well from what I can tell, whomever it is they're hitting all the well known diamond ports in the world. Perhaps I should check out Henry Mancinni "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friends" from the library and place the tune on my internet site. Known airlines that might go to all these locations would be either El Al, China Airlines, South Africa Airlines, or even British Airways, KLM, or possibly TWA. Maybe we're dealing with a flight attendant, pilot, or vacationing internet guru with lots of money. Who knows for sure. We do know Frankle looks a bit like Paul Allen of Microsoft, so perhaps he impersonated Paul Allen or Paul Allen is somebody else, and they have conned the whole country with Microsoft. We do know Paul Allen has his own 757, and he and Bill Gates come out of Boeing territory, and it is vacation time. Well I suppose there is a network of high speed internet terminals in all these airport destinations, and since New York is a flight hub, they will probably eventually dead head into the area and be back living in Greenwich under assumed personas. Perhaps the United States Air Force should intercept the craft and see what they're really up to, who knows, but if they made a trip to China and all the other diamond ports, and China does also have diamond supply capability, they might be laundering drug money in exchange for diamonds. Well keep a sharp eye out for inbound aircraft with lots of diamonds. I suppose Debeers Security would know what this is all about. Perhaps some wealthy old lady is out buying more jewelry who knows. Well while they were in China, it would have been nice if they picked up some new motherboards from Taiwan, so we could upgrade our systems. Maybe it is Bill Gates wife spending his money. We should try to ID both Gates, Allen, and Ballmer and any key members of their entourage whom might be traveling. I would say there is something rotten in Denmark. Which reminds me, I have seen the Danish training ship I believe in Stamford harbor along with the usual group of Danish cadets roaming the downtown Greenwich area, so maybe Danish royalty is in the area. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/05/99 Sunday 3:10 A.M. EDT: Well I did a little internet work, and I chatted with a friend. I suppose not much is going on. About 11 P.M., I started house cleaning and watering the plants which I just finished. I had a bite to eat of speghetti with meat sauce and parmesian cheese. There is not much really to report on just the never ending routine of it all. I suppose we should start evaluating the usefulness of this internet technology. It is getting to be like the New York Times used as a device to misinform us. Basically if you don't know what is going on, you start using the grapevine. From my experience not really that much ever happens in Greenwich, since most people either read quite a bit of watch too much public media. From what I can tell, the situation here is pretty much the same as always, but I had to turn on the air conditioner and cool off the apartment, since it was getting hot and damp, which means it must be hot and damp outside. Well have a good morning, and please don't keep a level head. CIO

Note:<888>9/04/99 Saturday 6:30 P.M. EDT: Well I had a bit of time to think last night before I went to bed. I was thinking with all the Rockefeller enterprise employees and associates and customers in the area, they could setup a private discount wholesale buying network and outlet in the area where individuals could order and buy merchandise whom were affiliated with their enterprises. They even could have a web site such as www.rockbuy.com . The Caldors store is vacant in Port Chester, so they could even set up a pilot project there if the property were available there. Thus with the immense buying power of their group, they could have an outlet in Irvine, Texas and one in Manhattan and one in a convenient location around the oil tanks in New Jersey, thus all their employees, associates, and customers of such enterprises as Exxon, Citibank, and the Chase bank would have the buying power of a group like the Military PX system or other buying clubs in the country. Basically it is worth looking into, since if you encourage one's employees, family, friends, associates, and customers to shop at the Company store; they get to know their co associates and other brand name items the family is associated with. It is worth considering in this competitive economic market. It would sure put a dent in Sams and Sears operations in this area. Well I went to bed about 8 A.M., and I was up around 4 P.M.. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, coffee, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I chatted with a family member and a couple of other individuals on the Frankel embesslement matter. I was thinking perhaps Frankel saw some natural wildlife form like Big Foot, Yeti, or Sasquatch in his back yard and fled the country in terror taking his investors assets to protect them, and he has not been given a chance to present his case. Who know what various wildlife forms could be lurking in the back country area of Greenwich, Connecticut which the naive urbanite might not be equiped to deal with. Well in other matters it is a possibility on my 1976 Volvo which I have owned for 7 1/2 years that since I have never changed the brake fluid in that period that with the additional moisture in the atomosphere finally contaminated the brake fluid in one of the two brake systems causing it to malfunction. The car is still serviceable, so I can go out if necessary; I just have to watch my speed and keep it in a low gear, but if there were an emergency; I would not have the responsiveness and manuverability that I normally have with the car. Well I guess I should think about cleaning up and going out, so have a good evening. On a minor note since I believe the United States Senate republican majority leader is from Mississippi where Frankel embessled a good deal of the money from, I believe somebody should brief Trent Lott on the current state of the current ongoing Federal investigation. Also in China the average citizen earns about $10 a month, so $3 billion would represent about 60 billion work hours by Chinese standards and in Mississippi where they avearage about $2 an hour it would represent 1.5 billion work hours, so even though by New York standards $3 billion dollars is not a lot of money, once you get down to the harsh reality of the real world, it is a lot of money, and therefore the United States Federal government and its allies will put the maximum effort into recovering Frankel and the assets he embessled, assuming it is a he, and not some cleaver actress masquerading as another person. Well have a good evening. In the world there is a cleaver group of people known as the Manderin actors and actresses whom frequently assume the personalities of other individuals worldwide, so it is best to make sure whom you are dealing with. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/04/99 Saturday 9:05 A.M. EDT:Well I finally figured out how to print out enveloped with my HP LazerJet Printer this morning. I restarted the server. I chatted with a few security group and reported there is unusal activity on my server out of Australia and China and the activity has quit out of Israel. The old Russian Tchaikosky symphony War of 1812 if very popular with fugitive at the Chinese Defence Ministry, so thus it would seem Frankel for better or worse traveled to Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Autralia trading his diamonds as a fugitive, and he suddenly bought his way into refuge in China. Unfortunately Russia is the large supplier of Chinese foreign aid, and also the largest supplier of diamonds in the World, so they would not need to buy his diamonds, and conversely they would have enough influence to have him picked up anywhere in China and placed in a Chinese slave labor camp or returned to the United States for criminal proceedings, so thus it seems Frankels journey is over shortly when he is brought back to America by the United States government fugitive task force. Of course China does not have extradition with the United States, but they would do what Russia suggest; so thus the only refuge Frankle might still seek is in Mongolia which does not trust either China or Russia and is very primative, but the many of the various satellite internet services do work there. Unfortunately the head of Mongolia is an absolute monarch, so he would probably just seize Frankles ill begotten property and use it to buy horses since the mongolians I believe started Polo by knocking enemies heads around the ground with mallets. Well who know what really is going on here, since it is dead a door nail here in Greenwich. Basically I figured local parties sabotaged my brakes on my car to try to create some sort of insurance incident, so they would be possibly prosecutable on premetitated manslaughter charges. Well so much for now, but the apartment is beginning to look better, but the carpet deoderizer smell is beginning to wear off, so it smell more like an old smoke filled room again. Well have a good morning, I am going to bed. So much for the continuing education creative writting class this morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/04/99 Saturday 4:50 A.M. EDT: Well I was up about 4 P.M. yesterday afternoon. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, five strips of bacon, toast, coffee, vitamins, and orange juice. I guess I fiddle with the computer for a while. I can't exactly remember what I did. I do recall chatted with Bell Atlantic about the squirrel possibly chewing on our building telephone line. I recieved email from Paul Allen telling me he does not make charity contributions to individuals, but only to groups. I have not been out yet, other to check the mail. I chatted with a family member. I called up a number of automobile dealerships here in Greenwich. Jack Grassi quoted me $13,500 for a 1996 Buick Century station wagon with 28,000 miles; but www.kbb.com Kelly Blue Book says the trade value is about $6,500 and the retail is $10,500. I looked at some other automobile sites. Volvo of Danbury is run by Volvo of Mount Kisco. Volvo of Danbury is building a new showroom. The chevrolet dealership in Darien said they might have a some low priced used cars around Thursday this coming week. I chatted with the Buick dealership in Wilton, and they chespest car on their lot is around $5,000. I chatted with Pray Volkswagon, and most of their used cars are over $20,000. They told me their rear lower parking lot where they store the Audis floods all the time; so make sure you don't buy a water damaged car there. I chatted with Marty Motors in Mount Kisco, and they said they still make a larg Fleetwood Cadillac, and they still sell cars to the Rockefellers in North Terrytown, New York. I called Mount Kisco Chevrolet, and they were not interested in selling me a car. Toyota of Greenwich does not come up on the www.switchboard.com database. I chatted with Greenwich Exxon about bringing my car in next week for brake repairs. Midas this past morning told me if it were the vacuum booster it would be hard to push down the petal. I guess it might be the master cylander, and one of the two three wheel breaking systems went out or malfunctioned, since I still have partial braking function. I also turned off the brake warning light five years ago, since it stayed on all the time when there was no problem, so I don't have a bulb in the dash warning light. One of my neighbors got stranded at the Meadowlands casino when his watch battery stopped and he missed the bus back to Port Chester, so he finally took a bus from the Foxwoods casino. I recieved a Bell Atlantic phone bill, and there were $32 in charges on my phone bill for local collect calls from Stamford and Greenwich of duration of about 40 minutes in total. It would seem some of these private phone operators handling local phone calls are extorting the general public and I would imgine the Federal Communications Commission will have to have hearing and deter the practice, which is a violation of the public trust. I will call Bell Atlantic at their local office here in town at 203-869-5222 and get once again to correct the bill. It always seems a lot of these con games happen when the democrats are in the area or the southern people are up north visiting. Basically I would hate to think what they are doing to the millions of retired people living on fixed incomes down south. Well I also took the NEC LC-800 laser printer and place it next to the bedroom computer and installed the printer driver for it. I also put Wordperfect 6.0 on the bedroom computer and Microsoft Word 2.1.; so it can be used for word processing and printing with the reliable NEC laser printer. The NEC is beginning to lose the smudges on the printouts, since I refilled the toner container about a year ago and never used it all. Thus I have it set on light, and after running about a dozen copies; it is a pretty clear copy. I put the HP LaserJett II over on the left side of the living room desk next to the bar. I thus have a little space cleared on that desk. I noticed the half gallon of Vodka is down about an inch, so somebody must have been in the apartment to partake of the Red Cross emergency supplies that I keep handy in case anyone gets frost bite or hyperthermia during the cold winter nights. Needless to say on a night schedule, I don't have to bother drinking and only occassionally use the stuff for cooking, but it is a sign of hospitality around the world to have a beverage bar set up for guests. I even have a crystal glass bottle of three year old water along with a three year old water in the seltzer bottle. Well usually people like myself whom don't drink find people whom do drink annoying, since when they're trying to relax from their day schedules, I am just beginning my night schedule. Conversely if I came by somebody's house at 8 A.M. in the morning and had a drink or if I sat out on Steamboat Road at 8 A.M. in the morning and had a beer people would frown on me. Thus the local daytime people are ill informed and not experienced at being away at night. Of course a few semi and retired nurses live in this building, so they are well aware what the night schedule is all about. I chatted with ValueClick - The Pay-for-Results Advertising Network , and they told me I should be able to register my three domain names to the same home server here in Greenwich. Possibly the problem is that the Network Solutions - Domain Name Registration Services from the dot com people server where you change you information is a case sensitive UNIX server, and when it does not recognize my registered email address, it is because two of the sites has the Internic Handle MLS57 with email "mikelouisscott@HOME.COM" , so I changed it to "mikelouisscott@home.com" which is the only reason, I can figure out why it would not accept the information. I chatted with the ValueClick - The Pay-for-Results Advertising Network technicians for a while about tech and Florida gossip. I defrost a container of speghetti sauce and had it with thin Italians noodles and parmesian cheese about 2 A.M.. There is not really much happening on the internet with people away for the Labor Day weekend and the vacation season. I am not even bothering to read the New York Times enews or tech news, I am just deleting them. I noticed that "www.edole2000.org" Error Occurred While Processing Request does not work, and that George W. Bush Presidential Exploratory Committee, Inc. does not update their site with recent information. Well at the local place is a little bit more straightened up, but as one philospher said once a clear desk is a sign of insanity. So making order of Chaos might not necessarily be the all that it has cracked up to be. I suppose since the head terrorist is "Rocky the Squirrel" we all have to learn to live with it, and possibly all the nonsense will come to pass in this neck of the woods around Frost Bite, Minnesota. So give my best to Bullwinkle and the gang where ever they might be. Once seems sort of funny about all the news on Reuters is that the writers are only paid $8 an hour over in Stamford, Connecticut; so though it is cleaver; they and Reuters don't always have the financial where withall to do all the thorough research that is sometimes necessary for accurate news. Well lets see what else is happening. I suppose once I clean up and shower, I can go out in the morning, but the morning crew in the morning around here is usually pretty grumpy, so it is usually not as fun as the night crowd. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/03/99 Friday 7:55 A.M. EDT: After the last message, I went out for a ride and chatted with a couple of local fishermen down by the harbor. It was a quiet morning. I returned home, and I did a bit more straightening up around the apartment, and have the place pretty much straightened out. I need to buy a couple of fifteen watt sconce bulbs for some of the fixtures at the lighting store between the Food Emporium and Pray automotive. Basically when one spends so much time on the computer lots of paperwork and junk mail begins to pile up over the months. Well it is good to have the place back into a more presentable appearrence. All three printers startup and work now, when the modem and server are running. If the HP Lazer II, does not start its start cycle you can just change the LPT port switch to another printer, and the HP printer seems to start. Well from what I can tell all the Florida summer people departed on the last day of the August month, and a lot of the year round regular residents will not return until after labor day. Nothing unusual to report. I check the brakes on the car, and it seems that the booster cylander has gone out; but the car does stop on the last four to five inches of brake play. I will wait until after the labor day weekend to have it checked out, and see if it is worth having it fixed or not. I noticed somebody on Steamboat Road has had an Audi for sale for the last two weeks, but it has 84,000 miles which is too much. Well not much else to report, so have a good morning; and watch out for summer travelers visiting our local community. CIO

Note:<888>9/03/99 Friday 12:35 A.M. EDT: Well I was up at 1 P.M., and the apartment smelled better. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I cleaned up, and I made it to my 3 P.M. appointment. On the way there, I noticed the brakes on my car were a little mussy. It seems like the master vacuum cylander has gone, but the car still stops fast enough; particularly if one down shifts. I will have to have it looked into soon, but I don't know if I will get it done before the Labor Day weekend. After my apointment, I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop and viewed the merchandise. I was told that President Clinton and family bought the out in Cattapa?, New York just north of Armonk, New York on Old House Road. I suggested at the hospital thrift shop, if he needs value in used furniture he look at the used and antique furniture warehouse on Route 6? just south of Poughkipsie, New York with the large white horse in front of it. They have reasonable prices for the New York area, but one would need heavy lifters and a rental trailer or truck depending on the size of the furniture one bought there. I next stopped by Peabody's garage and they have a Pontiac compact car about 1986 with 56,000 miles for $1,000. They are also taking in a 1994 Toyota with 74,000 miles for $4,800 they have to do some work on. I then went by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper, and it was very busy there with lots of people using the internet terminals. I noticed they do have a flag pole across from the entrance in the parking lot. I guess I am so near sighted, I had never noticed it before or not at night when I frequently go. I told them about "fireball.co.uk" for email for traveling British students or anyone else and www.radiolinx.com for them possibly to get Laptop Internet service in the library. I read the local paper. I then headed down Greenwich Avenue, and chatted briefly with the fishermen down on Steamboat Road. I headed over to R & R outdoor furniture on the Boston Post Road at the Mianus River Bridge. They have nice teak furniture there from Indonesia. They also have very nice beach chairs for about $50 each. I then headed over to Old Greenwich, and I stopped by Service Star Hardware store, and they have fold lie down beach chairs with webbing made by Sunbeam for $35 each. I went out to Tod's Point, and I got out my old trusty rusty fifteen year old beach chair I bought for $3 and I sat out on the beach watching the eastern horizon. I chatted with a carpenter from upstate New York about Lanzarote and other locations along the waterfront. One young girl reprimanded me for smoking near children. I have to remember to watch out for children when I smoke. I then walked a short way back down the beach and studied the tide line. I returned back along the dirt road and use the mens room. I chatted with a couple from the Norwalk Yacht Club. I decided to go up to Norwalk, and I departed the beach forgetting my old rusty beach chair. I arrived in Norwalk, and I went to Home Depot and they did not have beach chairs. I bought two minature palms plants there for $5.96 each, a golden pathos plant for $9.96, and a fiscus for $7.96 plus $1.79 Ct. sales tax for $31.63 total. I next stopped by Bradleys and they have everything under the sun that Caldors use to have except beach chairs. I next went to CompUSA and I bought a Inland Pro Commander power control center on clearence for $11.88 plus .71 Ct. sales tax for $12.59 total. I next returned down the post road and I went to CVS in Darien, and they did not have beach chairs. I stopped by next door at Boston Chicken and I had a half chicken dinner, with stuffing, corn bread, creamed spinich, and mixed brocolli and carrotts for with ice water for $7.25. Boston Chicken is right next to nice restaurant the Black Goose Inn. I went back into CVS and bought a pack of Marlboro lights 100s for $3.49. I mentioned to another customer, I bought my first Volvo from Peabody's in 1973 with a loan from Mr. Dupont at the Union Trust Bank in Darien. He told me to remember that. I also reminiced about living on the old farm across from the New Canaan Country Club. I then walked briefly around downtown Darien and Starbucks was closed, so I returned to the car, and returned to Greenwich. I stopped by the Exxon station, and I bought $15.25 of premium. I mentioned that Exxon should sell beach chairs along the coast for any evacuees whom might pass their stations. I returned home, and I brough up my purchases. I transfered the new planst into my terracotta pots and I placed them around the apartment after watering them. I installed the new control panel on my computer, taking of an older one, and leaving another newer one with it, so I have two underneath the monitor for controlling my peripherials. The monitor is about 3/4 inch higher. I had some iced coffee while doing this. I put the old control panel underneath the bedroom computer. I then filed this report. I will go out now for a little fresh air. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/02/99 Thursday 7:40 A.M. EDT: I rearranged a few more items in the apartment. I put the dead plants out of site. I placed the hallway carpet back in its original position. I spread the a can of the CVS carpet deoderizer all over the apartment, and swept it in with a broom. I will leave it in the carpet instead of fifteen minutes until next Sunday when I vacuum. It now smells like a perfume factory. Well I have to get off to bed and be up at 1 P.M.. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/02/99 Thursday 4:15 A.M. EDT: Well I sat around checking out internet information until 11 P.M.. I went out then and drove down by the harbor. There were a few youth and a large fisherman out. I returned to the center of town, and I went to the Grand Union. I bought two half gallons of Tropicana grapefruit juice for $1.99 each, a dozen large eggs for $1.49, two Ragu Paremesian cheese sauce for $1.50 each, two 3 Kings bacon for $2 each, Ronzoni Spinich fetticini for $1.75, Ronsonzi Spinich tortellini for $1.59, two ears of corn for .25 both, and a 24 roll bundle of Northern quilted toilet paper for $7.69 for $24.21 total. I drove through the center of town, and I returned home. I put away the groceries. I straightened up the refrigerator, and I still have a two year old container of Yoplait yogurt and a three to four year old container of open Yugoslavian grape jelly. I put in some more wine to chill including the white chardonnay I bought last evening. I cleaned up the paper work around my computer desk area and sorted through it. I found about a dozen promotional cdroms that I put in the towel drawer. I put the last years worth of Interactive Week that I never read in a bedroom file stand with some other computer literature. I straighted up the coffee table books. I sat thinking about fish stories. I can not put the rug deoderizer on the carpet until the hallway carpet is thouroughly dry hopefully this coming evening. It only takes a fifteen minutes to work, but I thought I would let it sit for a few hours tomorrow evening or today evening when I go out and then I will vacuum it up. I need to dump out the junk mail and throw out a wine cardboard case. Well the place looks a little neater, but it still stinks to high heaven with the cigar cigarette smoke, which I can not substitute with better quality Virginian tabacco. Well not much else to report on. Hopefully my other two domain names will be working off my local server in a day or two. Well have a good morning. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. CIO

Note:<888>9/01/99 Wednesday 9:35 P.M. EDT: I was awake this past morning at 11 A.M. by the NOAA weather warning weekly test from Rockefeller Center. I noticed that the tape backup that I had started had failed because I tried to run it with the server going. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, three strips of bacon, orange juice, and coffee. I started the tape backup again, and I had to reinstall the Seagate Tape backup program, and I started it about 2 P.M., and it ran and completed about 7:30 P.M. for the second tape backup. I went out after starting the tape backup, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York, and I did some banking. I stopped by the First Union bank and payed my rent. I went by the Post Office and mailed money orders for my MCI, Cablevision, Optimum Online, and Electricity bills. I stopped by the hospital thrift shop. I drove by CVS and bought a carton of Dutch Treat Light grey carton cigar cigarettes for $14.19, two large containers of CVS carpet deodorizer for $1.79 each, two bars of Yardley Aloe soap for $1.19 both plus $1.14 Ct. tax for $20.10 total. I looked for beach chairs on sale 50% off, but they were sold out. I drove down by the waterfront and viewed the harbor. It was a bit crowded. I went by ELDC thrift and I bought a Pyrex 14 inch glass lid for a frying pan for $1.50 and a pair of Bausch and Lomb Ray Ban sun glasses possibly for $1.25 with case. I noticed they have a 1840s sleigh bed for sale for $250. One would have to restore the finish, and get an odd size box spring and mattress, and possibly cover it with Nantucket Looms Raw Wood Cloth with fluffy pillows in the same material for that colonial look. I drove back down the Avenue, and I viewed the waterfront again. I headed over to CVS in the Riverside Shopping plaza, but they did not have any beach chairs. I stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich and they were very busy with back to schoolers. I stopped by CVS in Old Greenwich, and they did not have beach chairs. I thought it might be a good idea to keep a couple of beach chairs in the trunk like Florida people do for relaxing outside. I drove out to Tod's Point, and I parked in the southwest corner parking area. I chatted about the weather with a fisherman. I walked out to the picnic area and it was busy. I chatted with a retired couple about the weather. I returned back to Byram, and I still had a half hour on the tape backup, so I ate some pasta fraiche and Citra soda. I made up two pots of coffee for iced coffee. I had a glass of iced coffee. I restared the computer and the server after the tape backup was complete. I went out to Port Chester, and Odd Job does not have beach chairs, neither does Pergament. I stopped by Staples and I bought a $18 32 oz. box of 32 packets of Hawaian Gold Kona coffee for $9 from the clearence center. I stopped by Jembro and I bought a large blue made in China umbrella for $5.33, and on the way back home, and I stopped by Var Max liquor pantry and bought two bottles of 1997 Novellum white chardonnay regularly $8.99 for $4.99 each plus .67 NY tax for $10.85 total. I returned home, and I filed this report. Well have a good evening, I guess I will go out for a stroll shortly. CIO

Note:<888>9/01/99 Wednesday 4:35 A.M. EDT: Well I studied the www.carnegie.org for a while. There is also www.glf.org . Well for now, lets call it a day. CIO

Note:<888>9/01/99 Wednesday 2:45 A.M. EDT: Well I just finished listening to ABCNEWS.com : Bush Shattering Campaign Cash Records video linked from ABC. I resubmitted my Internic submission form from Network Solutions - Domain Name Registration Services from the dot com people this time just adding the domain names www.mikescott.net and www.mikescott.org to the mrscott.com change page submitting them as secondary servers, and I recieved email back that they would process the request manually. I fixed the hallway closet handle by putting a longer screw into the handle. I still have about a 100 emails to sift through. During the early morning hours this link works to show where Dennis is heading NRL Satellite Photo /archive_data/sat/www/atlantic/tropics/ir/LATEST.jpg tropics . Well I might have some more pasta fraiche to eat. How do you make Pasta Fraiche.

Boil one box of green spinich noodles for ten minutes.

While doing this heat one jar of Ragu or Five Brothers cheese parmesian cheese sauce or alfredo cheese sauce over medium to low heat.

Add one small can of mushrooms

Add dashes of Italian Seasoning

Add dashes of Basil

Add dashes of Organo

Add a bit of Celery Salt

Add a bit of ground pepper

Add a bit of garlic powder

Add one quarter of cup of dry white wine

Stir this cheese sauce mixture a bit while heating over low.

When you strain the green noodles put them in a seperate mixing bowl,

Pour the cheese sauce mixture over the noodles and mix it all together thouroughly.

Add about a third cup of grated parmesian cheese and mix it to the existing mixture.

Eat it while it is hot.

Leftovers can be put in a rubbermaid container and refrigerated.

Heat each refrigerated serving about three to four minutes in the microwave when reheating depending on the wattage of the microwave.

Basically it is an improvised Pasta Alfredo depending on the type of cheese sauce one uses, or a rich man's macaronni and cheese.

Well have a good morning. CIO
