Note: <888> 09/23/08 Tuesday 3:45 P.M..  I have some errands to do.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will shower and clean up, and I will go out.  It seems to be that with the www.un.org in full session with other Welcome to the White House other visitors, that we are trying to be hospitable based on our budgets, not on the budgets of mailto:bill@windows.com .  From what I know, my primary directive from the chief British agent in this area, David Heron is to, "Keep Doing What I Do. I am not suppose to know what goes on.  Get a Hair Cut.  Stay Focused."  Thus I have followed the instructions based on the English Speaking language in Greenwich, Connecticut.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/23/08 Tuesday 3:25 P.M..  I woke up at noon.  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, a glass of passion punch with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  Before going to bed, I did a Vista Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the second hard drive.  I just finished a Vista Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the Bytecc external hard drive.  I threw out some garbage.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I just had a spot inspection from two Greenwich Housing Authority officials.  I explained the reason for my apartment setup.  I explained some of the more intricate details.  They still think the apartment setup is too crowded, but I do not plan to change anything for now after working more on improving it for the last three months.  I have lived here for 20 years, and I do not plan to set it up for a cocktail party.  I am in good health, so I do not need to set it up for the EMT technicians to take me out in an emergency.  I do not intend to set it up like a hospital room either.  Having maintained an apartment in Manhattan that was 350 square feet when http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm took over Bill Baldwin's business and was in partnership with Taylor Sterling from here in Greenwich, I know how Fred's apartment which although small near the United Nations was run like a Carlyle Hotel suite.  Fred's clients included Mrs. Warburg Selicman, Mrs. Avery Fisher, Helen Kress Williams, Nelson Rockefeller, Barbara Rockefeller, Bunny Melon, Paul Melon's daughter, Kip Forbes, and Mrs. Vanderbilt in Newport, Rhode Island  Thus this apartment I live in is based on my experience and budget, and not the wide open spaces concept of decorating.  It is a small enough apartment that it can be warm enough in the winter.  Also once the cold weather sets in, more than likely any "Pied A Terre" will be appreciated.  Since most of the Movers and Shakers spend a great deal of time on jets and airplanes, I feel my apartment is more comfortable and work friendly than a jet of air plane cabin.  CIO   

Note: <888> 09/23/08 Tuesday 5:10 A.M..  I did not go to bed after the last note.  I watched a two hour special on channel 13 PBS high definition on Albert Einstein and E=MC (squared).  I was told by a relative that one can take the bus from Boston to New York non stop for a 4.5 hour trip each way for $40 round trip.  I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2008 on the primary Vista computer, and then I ran the Norton removal utility to remove any other remaining features in the system.  I then made a copy of the McAfee Internet Security suite CD.  I then installed it on the primary Vista computer, and ran its updates.  I then did a quick antivirus scan.  The McAfee Internet Security Suite runs just fine, and the Vista system runs a bit faster with it.  It came with a $30 upgrader rebate, so I filled out the information, and I sent in the front page of my Norton Internet Security 2008 manual, so hopefully in two months, I will have the $30 rebate, so I will be paid $17 for buying it.  I mailed the rebate information downstairs.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO

I unpacked.  I received the new sheets, and I left them on the bedroom hamper.  I put the new case fans on the pile of computer parts to the right side of the bedroom television.  I went outside, and I moved the car to one of its usual places.  I put the small cart back in the trunk of the Audi.  I made up a batch of passion punch.  The McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 3 license copy was in the mail, but I will not install it until Norton Internet Security 2008 expires in 12 days. I sorted through the mail.  I received two $10 survey checks and a $16 memory rebate check.  I received notification that my food stamps have been raised starting October 2008 from $118 a month to $176 a month which is good news. I started up the primary Vista computer and the FIC server, and I installed the Norton Internet Security 2008 updates, and the Vista updates on the FIC server.  The primary Vista computer shows no new Windows updates.  I will now microwave and eat a Maria Callendar 21 ounce frozen beef lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it, and I will eat it with some watered down passion punch.  CIO

I took out the air conditioner from the library, and I left it on the "Wipe Your Paws" door mat beneath the window, with two screws in the small ceramic tray on the table by it, and the window stopper still installed in the upper window. I said good night to my relative. While I was sitting outside having my end of the evening cigarette looking at the full moon above the U.S.A. flag on the flag pole, I could see a jet fly by high up in the sky in front of the full moon. What was strange at 10:07 P.M. EDT flying towards the east to northeast in front of the jet or above it was an object with blinking lights going about three times faster than the jet.

It is suppose to be down to 38 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday and Friday nights with the high in the high 50s, so it will be cooler later in the week. The local Maine people are getting ready for another cold winter. I figured where I am in Greenwich, Connecticut is about 6 weeks warmers, before it gets colder. I have plenty of winter clothes, but I will probably once again not be using much electric heat this coming winter to save money for computer expenses. If one has to face cold winters without heat, one should look into Two-Layer Union Suit, Men's: Underwear and Accessories at L.L.Bean or Polartec Power Dry Union Suit, Men's: Underwear and Socks at L.L.Bean.

Note: <888> 09/12/08 Friday 5:55 P.M.. The carpenters have left. They helped move the heavy furniture back into place. After they left, I vacuumed the entire library and the book shelves. I then put back all of the smaller furniture and decorative objects and hooked up the television to the cable system, thus the library is back to normal and looks quite great. The carpenters have to cut .75 inch off the radiator end covers on the bottom, and they will come back on Monday to install them and pick up their tools. They did a good job of cleaning up everything.

I showered, and I cleaned up. I watched the Weather Channel about Hurricane Ike. They said a lot of people are not evacuating which is foolish. When I was at Greenwich Country Day from 1962 to 1965, I read a short story about the hurricane in Galveston in 1900, and there were over 5,000 people killed. Ocean water when driven by a hurricane is denser than cement, so even the most permanent structures tend to not to withstand the hurricane surge. I recall in the last hurricane in that area about six years ago, there was mention the Department of Defense had a biological warfare laboratory on the beach in Galveston also. I have never been on the south east coast of Texas, so I do not have first hand experience. The carpenters working on the floor in the library said they would be done about 2 P.M.. I will help them move a half dozen pieces of heavy furniture back into the library, after they are done. Then I will vacuum after they have left, and I will move the smaller items back into the library. My relative has a 1 P.M. appointment, so I will stay here to help out.

I am doing a load of laundry, and I had to turn on the water for the new Sears washing machine. My relative returned at noon. We determined my intestinal attack was caused by the fact that my relative had put the coffee pot in the dishwasher, which one is not suppose to do for that reason.

My relative bought me a size 5XX large red and blue Polo rugby shirt for $2 that I will wear as a night shirt, since it is quite large. Also my relative bought me red and green striped Izod size 2XX polo shirt for $12. We then returned to Biddeford, Maine, and we went by Walmart and we got some items including two small 14 pound bags of Scott's fall weed and feed fetilizer for some patch work around the lawn.
