Note:<888>9/14/98 Monday 5:10 P.M. EDT: I fell asleep from 9:30 A.M. to 11 A.M. while listening to www.ttalk.com 's weekender broadcast. I surfed the net until about 1 P.M. and had a light lunch of goldfish crackers and mixed nuts. A friend stopped by and we chatted for a while, while I had Capacinno. Another friend is stopping over to spend the night since he has an early morning appointment tomorrow. The earlier visitor and I went out at 3 P.M.. I replaced the burned out right headlight on his Volvo which is fairly simple. We drove by the Hospital Thrfit shop which is slow and pricey recently. We drove down by the Island Beach Ferry which I believe has its last day tomorrow. We did not take it, since it would have been $7 for my guest. We sat in Roger Scherman Baldwin park which has lots of goose droppings, like the well lit out on the harbor also has lots of geese and probably droppings. I noticed the United Way is having their annual festival in Roger Scherman Baldwin park this weekend, and they are charging $25 a head, or $20 if you purchase tickets early. We drove down Steamboat Road. I went by the lower Greenwich Avenue newsstand and bought 2 buy two get one free Camel lights for $11.80. It is hot and sultry out with poor air conditions today. We returned home, and I plan to have a salad for dinner of Avacado, olives, ham, onion, kosher dill pickel, and dressing. Well my houseguest for the evening is suppose to show up between 7 P.M. and 8 P.M.. Well it is a busy Monday. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/14/98 Monday 8:10 A.M. EDT: I was up at at 7:30 P.M. and had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and am drinking my capacinno right now. One can run the coffee through and part way through flip the lever and froth the milk and then finishing running the coffee through. One needs to add about an ounce more water for the frothing steam. Well time for morning net surfing. CIO

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 9:15 P.M. EDT: I updated the ASCII Text DOS file of the Starr Report with both of President Clinton's Rebuttals included in the file available at www.mikescott.net/starrrep.txt . This file can be imported into a Wordprocessor for manipulation of fonts and settings. Since I created most of the file from the CNN posted files of the Starr Report which were small enough to import into Microsoft Frontpage for cutting and pasting into my Wordperfect 6.0 Wordprocessor and saving them in ASCII Text DOS format for importation into other wordprocessors like Microsoft Word, the formating may not be the same as the original report which has too long of files for importation into Microsoft Frontpage. The need to cut and paste from Microsoft Frontpage, prevents the HTML coding that would appear in cutting and pasting directly from the web browser version, which would be confusing. Thus the text of the file is accurate providing the CNN version was accurate, but the format is not the same at the original published version, plus I added both of President Clinton's two rebuttals. CIO

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 8:40 P.M.

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 6:45 P.M. EDT: I had Morrel sliced ham for dinner with Ramen noodles, green beans, brocolli, iced tea, and for dessert I made Capacinno learning how to froth the milk with my Capacino machine with the metal frothing container. One probably can froth the milk while making the capacinno, but I frothed after making the capacinno. It tastes pretty dang good for a first try, and I just happened to have a wee bit of cinnamon to put on top. I have to go to CVS for cinnamon some time. Well enjoy the evening. I won't be going to bed early, since the capacinno will keep me awake. CIO

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 5:45 P.M. EDT: I rehung my shower curtain and put my bathmat back on the bathtub rim. It is important to use a good Rubbermaid bathmat in the bath tub when showering or bathing in the bathtub. I went back out at 2 P.M.. I stopped by Lecters and returned the larger frother and bought a 10 oz. metal frother for $4.99 which fits underneath the frothing spicot of my Braun Capacino Machine. I also bought a set of four piece measuring spoons for $1.99, and a cloth tape measure for .89 for a total of $8.34 with tax. I drove down to the Island Beach Parking lot, and went out to the ferry dock to wait for the ferry. I chatted with four young german visitors and complimented one on his back pack. I told him I used one like it when in Europe in 1972, and I thought it was a French Infantry Nap Sack from World War I. He told me it is a Swiss Pack. They have a light metal frame, and leather bottom, and are tear shaped and draw at the top and with a flap that goes over the top. I bought mine for $2 in the Florence Flea Market. It is like a large book bag, very comfortable to wear, and I enjoyed traveling with it in Europe. Maybe it is a Mountaineers Day Pack. I don't know what happened to mine. I told the young German visitors they have Octoberfest in Melborne, Florida and a few other German short stories. I traveled out on the Island Beach Ferry at 3 P.M. and commented on one gal's Margarettaville T-shirt. I mentioned, while waiting for passengers to board at Island Beach to one gal, that a relative in Maine had said that it is an extremely low low tide recently. I noticed the same phenomina out at Tod's Point. The relative said usually in the fall there are lower tides. I was thinking if that was an asteroid I observed around the moon the other night, maybe it impacted with the moon, and knocked the moon closer producing wider tidal extremes. Well enough science fiction. I returned on the Island Beach Ferry without leaving it. I surveyed the houses along the waterfront. I saw one man who must have weighed 600 pounds fishing on Steamboat Road with his son. I saw one young fellow zooming aruond Island Beach on a Jet Ski and head out to Tod's Point. They move across the water very quickly, but one should usually travel in pairs in case one malfunctions or keep a waterproof cellphone handy for emergencies, and be careful not to disturb fishermen. I noticed they have built a very large home next to the Belle Haven Club, along with almost finishing the remodeling of a large home on the South East point of Field Point Park. I noticed moderate harbor traffic. When I returned to the town ferry dock, I departed with the large crowd. In the Island Beach Ferry dock, I mentioned to one gentleman wearing a Crestted Butte ski hat, that I knew of someone out there, but it is very cold out there in the winter. I said some people with arthritis prefer the warmer weather. I then went to Grass Island and surveyed the harbor briefly. I returned to the center of town, and sat for a while. I noticed the northern tree with the weeping leaves at the Senior Center has a sappling growing. I noticed two long stretch white Lincoln Continental Limosines cruising around town in formation. I mentioned to a G. Gordon Liddy lookalike but much younger about the oil drum shooting at Tod's Point. I then walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue. I said hello to one of the senior Texas citizens in town. Also at the Island Beach parking lot, I chatted briefly with one of our regular town observers. I returned home and am having some goldfish crackers and ice tea. I used the cloth measuring tape to measure the widest part of my waist at the upper belly and it is 41 inches, but lower down the waist I feel comfortable in the 38 inch shorts I am wearing. I guess I will have a hard time fitting into my size 34 inch jeans this fall when it gets cooler. I observed one fellow downtown who looks like one of the representatives from Massachussetts in this area, and he has a similar weight problem to me. Well I guess we all keep hoping to loose weight, but for all I know with all the walking I have done, it only increases my appetite. Well have a good evening, and enjoy the rest of the nice day. CIO

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 1:50 P.M. EDT: I went out for my coffee in my thermos at 11 P.M. down by the Senior Center. I walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue for a while. I drove up by CVS and bought 4 cans of mixed nuts for $1.99 each, $7.96 total and a half price package of Contac for $2.49 for a total of $10.45. I chatted with one of my former neighbors from Steamboat Road which was an enjoyable diversion. I stopped by Lecters for a metal steamer pitcher for my Capacinno machine for $10.59, which I have to exchange for a smaller one since, it does not fit underneath the frother spout. I went by the Grand Union and bought a half gallon of whole milk for coffee for $1.67, a quart of Quaker State synthetic oil 10W30 for $2.29, a head of brocolli for .99, 2 cans of jumbo pitted olives for .89 each, $1.78 total, and a Avacado for .99 for $7.86 total. I returned home and put a half of quart of oil in my Volvo. I put my shower curtain and bath mat in the washer machine with a half gallon of bleach to clean off the mildew. They should be done shortly. I have to remember to leave the shower curtain closed to let it dry after showers. I am having ice tea and gold fish crackers. Well have a good afternoon. I will go out after I make a telephone call shortly. CIO

Note:<888>9/13/98 Sunday 11:00 A.M. EDT: I finished the laundry and making the ice tea. I had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and Ramen noodles and ice tea. I am just about ready to go out with a thermos of coffee and sit outside and stroll around for a while downtown. Well have a good day. CIO

I will not add it to the text file, it can be printed out seperately. CIO

Note:<888>9/12/98 Saturday 4:50 P.M. EDT: I went out at 1:30 P.M. and drove down Greenwich Avenue, and stopped by Grass Island and viewed the harbor for an hour. I noticed a large cabin cruiser about 70 feet from New York, New York coming into the harbor called Kondike Gal?. It moored at the General Reinsurance Building. There were a number of other small craft on the water. I returned about 2:45 P.M. and rested a bit watching a bit of the "History Channel". I cleaned my air conditioner filter and its frame, and set it onto the air conditioner properly, so it does not vibrate anymore. It was getting to be a bit noisey. Well I am a bit pooped having been up since about 3 A.M.. My site is a bit busy with people trying to download the Starr Report. The Fox News service said there is nothing impeachable in the Starr report. They said the White House released another point by point reply to it today. Well I will try to stay up a while. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/12/98 Saturday 1:25 P.M. EDT: I went out at 9:30 A.M. and stopped by the Greenwich Library. I told them about my internet efforts mirroring the Starr Report, and the reaction was general yawn. I read the local paper which has lots of Starr Report information. I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I told one of the Saturday volonteers about my Starr Report efforts, and he is not pleased with the present administration. I mentioned for the cost of the Starr Report, they could have bought a Presidential Yacht. I also mentioned during our winter, there is a very nice resort recently built in South Africa called Sun City which is one of the premier resort destinations in the world particularly during our colder weather. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and parked. I bought another blue binder at Meads for $2.23. I noticed quite a few early morning risers going about their Saturday morning business. I drove over to Old Greenwich and noticed they have the Sidewalk Art sale going on in Old Greenwich during this beautiful day. I drove out to Tod's Point. I did the complete three mile walk around Tod's Point which is walking the entire outer perimeter. On the South Shore by the second bridge, I noticed at low tide the tidal pond along the shore has thousands of sand crabs. The tide was about as low as it ever goes, and the beach was at least 150 yards wide. I sat in the Picnic area for a short spell before completing my walk. I noticed by the freshly painted pair of picnic benches facing Indian Harbor and Island Beach, that the green steel drum trash can had from six to eight 45 calliper bullets fired through it, entering one side and exiting the other. I can't imagine any walkers or picnicers firing a firearm at the Picnic area, so I imagnine it must have been a law enforcement officer killing a rapid raccoon or other animal in the trash barrel. I was thinking it must be awfully hard to lift the metal barrels, and I noticed they have started putting in green plastic barrels, which are more prone to being blown over by the wind, except a couple have frames at the base. There were quite a few walkers out in the late morning as usual during good weather, and frequently during colder weather. I chatted with one gentleman about the old days in Nantucket from 1975 to 1983 when I use to walk and jog from seven to fifteen miles a day. I would walk or jog from the center of town frequently out to one of the shore points at the Airport beach, Surfside Beach, or Mount Vernon Farm Beach, frequently taking dirt roads to the first two off Fair Grounds Road through the Pine Forest to the beach, and of course the access to Mount Vernon Farm then was dirt. I would then walk or jog along the beach and come back one of the alternate routes previously mentioned. I sometimes if full of energy would continue on back through town out to the Jetties Beach before returning. Some other walking and jogging excursions were out from town to Sconsset on the Sconsset Road and then return the longer route along the Polpis Road. Another route was out to Madaket and then return through town via a different route. Of course one could always walk around downtown a bit too. I remember local Nantucket kids like taking several days to walk around the entire perimeter of the island, which might seem like a short distance, but when one looks at all the bays, coves, and jagged shore line of Nantucket, it can take a number of days so bring provisions. After my walk at Tod's Point I returned back home and had a Tony's 4 Cheese Pizza, gold fish crackers, ice tea and coffee. I then filed this report. Well it is a beautiful day, so I think I will go back out downtown. Enjoy the afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>9/12/98 Saturday 9:25 A.M. EDT: I am just about done printing out the 307 page report. I printed out the first half on my HP 500+ which started malfunctioning halfway thru. It might have overheated. I will have to test it later. I printed out the rest on my NEC 890 which is about half as fast as the HP. Both are postscript printers, which are faster. I have two blue Oxford Binders that I bought yesterday at Stables for $6. They each old half the report with the side clip.

I had a visitor come down for an errand. I went out and stopped by Zyns and bought 3 buy 2 get 1 free of Camel lights for $18 total. I stopped by Meads, but they did not have the binder I needed for my Random Notes print out. I went by Stables in Old Greenwich and bought 2 blue binders for $5.82 with the binding clip on the side. I drove by Tod's Point and viewed Long Island Sound from the Picnic Area and there was a storm coming in, but it seems to have cleared. It was a nice blustery day, and I could see a number of sailboats across the Sound. I returned home about 5 P.M., and read today's Greenwich Times which I bought at Zyns.

I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop again. I returned and I went out with my guest to view the harbor from Grass Island. I returned home and we relaxed and I made dinner while watching the financial news. I fixed ham, corn on the cob, green beans, brocolli, and ice tea. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm which is just about where it was when I started it last October, in other words all the profits are gone. Well have a good evening, I need to get to bed soon. CIO

Note:<888>9/10/98 Thursday 1:25 P.M. EDT: I went downtown at 11:30 A.M. and mailed my letter. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop and they have a Braun coffee machine tea maker in the housewares, they have a Chinese tea chest for $125. They were just taking in a three component sterio system that looked fairly new that should be around $50 to $75, but it only has one tape cassette drive not two. My system is working fine, so I don't need another one. I went down Greenwich Avenue and viewed the lunch hour crowd. I did not drive down Steamboat Road, because it is the same weather pattern. I would say that last week's minor volcanic activity up in Alaska sent down a cooler cloud formation that has caused this cooler weather. I suspose weather watchers in the Gulf of Mexico might be worrying about the offshore oil platfroms in the Gulf of Mexico and their security during the present hurricane season. If a major platform like the Shell Oil platform were taken out by a hurricane, we could lose 25% of the U.S. oil, which would make for a cold winter up north. I went by the Greenwich Library and read the three computer news weeklies and the local paper. It was very slow in the library, and I suppose now that the cooler weather is here, we will have less visitors and less merry makers out from the city. Of course we alway get Indian Summer in about another six weeks. Well it really is not that cold, only mid 70s, but it is a sudden change. I returned home and made a cup of coffee. I have a 3 P.M. appointment. Well keep enjoying the afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>9/9/98 Wednesday 3:50 P.M. EDT: I worked on the internet until about 10:30 A.M., and I then took a nap until about 2 P.M.. I watched CNN a bit about President Clinton's trip to Orlando Speech. I think CNN should give Jeb Bush equal time on their evening newscast to expound on his viewpoint in the Florida governor's race. I think the President should view McDonald's outside Disney World and tour some of the new Disney attractions and tour some of Florida's hurricane disaster prepartion sights. Maybe he should tour the National Hurricane Center in Coral Cables, Florida and possibly stop by some Old Folks homes and the Grey Panther's headquarters. I believe Michael Vanderbilt has some property in Florida and Brumos is probably still pushing German automobiles. I suppose NASA has some activities for VIPs and one could tour Busch Gardens and Sea World and visit the Rapid Deployment Force at McDill Air Force Base and tour the East and West coast shores of the state of Florida. Once you've started doing a lot of that, his term would probably be over in about two years. Well I sure wish I could afford to go down to Florida this winter, but you know on a limited budget I don't know if I will be able to get away. I have been told that IBM was think of building some sort of facility in Orlando or at Disney, but I am so far off sight from Florida, it is hard to tell what is really going on down there anyway. Well give my best to the kind folks in Florida, and I appreciate all the reasonably priced Florida Orange Juice they have been sending up North over the years. CIO

I was thinking yesterday after the electrical storm the day before, that when Cable Modems are commonly installed, that although Cable Systems are suppose to be grounded, it would be useful if some internet tech people checked as to whether the ethernet cards used as cable modems are grounded against lightning, so as not to short out CPUs during an electrical storm. Thus the ethernet cable modem should have a ground fault interupter or there should be a ground fault interupter on the cable leading to the cable modem. CIO

Note:<888>9/9/98 Wednesday 5:25 A.M. EDT: I went out at 3 P.M. yesterday and had coffee downtown. I chatted with a couple who use to live on Steamboat Road about Harry Truman and being interviewed at Spirit Lake before Mt. St. Helens exploded last time. I mentioned that my father had given me President Harry Truman's autograph in the mid 1950 when we lived in Alabama and Harry visited our local chamber of commerce. I also mentioned that thru Harry's daughter being married to the Daniels family that there was probably some connection to Daniels construction company in the old days. I made my 4 P.M. appointment just as a major downpour occurred. I stopped by the library and told a couple of regular internet users to check out my internet as far as the weather is concerned. A lot of people frequently forget in doing their economic research that the weather is key factor in economic forecasts, just as oil futures and off shore Gulf of Mexico oil production is effected by hurricane activity, or crop forecasts as opposed to frost or energy consumption as opposed to average temperature, or average temperature as opposed to amount of tourism. Thus the weather effects some major economic factors in the economy, and since the United States governments spends over 50 billion dollars a year on weather forecasting and weather research, there is a lot of weather information to sift through. Also if one is around a military group or security group that has large numbers of personnel outside for extended periods of time, or even any outdoor activity group the weather can be a frequent factor which also affects outdoor recreational activities, concerts, picnicing, maintenance, travel plans, and a muriad of other activities. Thus a smart individual keeps an eye to the weather in their daily activities. Well there was one brief rain shower during this period of discussion. I checked out the waterfront again. I walked around downtown a brief period, and one local citizen was somewhat suspect of the intentions of certain out of town observers who come here to linger for long periods of time. I advised him that there are professional troublemakers who show up in every community particularly wealthy communities hoping to profiteer in their adventures. I also advised him a great many foreign visitors come here without resources, and they usually work, and most generally don't cause any problems; and we enjoy having them since it helps in the International makeup of the community. Thus I am still taking my Swiss neutral position and not taking sides on any major issues, since as far as I can tell there really is not much to report on. I suppose if some cleaver researcher compiled a list of the other internet sites coming out of this area, one might have a better viewpoint of the over all consciousness of the entire area. Well I returned home and chatted with some of my neighbors. I relaxed for a while and went to bed at about 9 P.M. after having dinner of peanut butter sandwich and goldfish crackers and ice tea. I did not get a chance to update Scott's Index before the 3 A.M. update deadline at the Microsoft Investor site. Well have a good morning, and remember the squirrel in the tree might know more than you do. CIO

Note:<888>9/8/98 Tuesday 2:40 P.M. EDT: I went out at 9 A.M.. I found two TV tables disgarded by a neighbor. I chatted with a couple of my neighbors about the storm. I drove west on West Putnam Avenue and noticed an ambulence by a yellow bicycle in front of Putnam Olds Cadillac and next to the body shop. There was an ambulence there, so apparently a bicycler was hurt in a mishap. I hope they are all right. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop and surveryed the merchandise. I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds from inside at the cash machine, since there were about 10 people in line. I drove downtown and noticed they had yellow tape in front of the catholic church where the storm and knocked down a large limb. I parked at the Board of Education adjacent parking lot next to the French Park, which is cheaper. I walked to the stationary store on the lower left of Greenwich Avenue and bought three buy two get one free of Camel lights for $17.70 total. I stopped by the Mews thrift shop and toured the merchandise. I chatted with a fellow thrift shopper and he told me he was moving into the Mews. I offered to help him move some book cases, but he said he had a dollie. I drove down on Steamboat Road, and chatted with the fisherman. I chatted with somebody that look like the son in law of a former president and grandson of a five star general with his two sons about fishing conditions in Nantucket around the old Navy Base on Lyons Farm Road saying that they are good in October there, but it is much too dangerour to swim there because of the rip tide along the south shore of both Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard. I mentioned somebody from Blue Eye, Missouri had showed me where to fish there. I also said that day in October before heading to California the first time in the yellow Subaru around 1978, I had caught about 28 blue fish and two bass in about two hours with a Hopkins Lure. I then went down to the Greenwich Harbor Inn and advised the cabin cruiser personnel from Vero Beach that all the weather information on the internet to do with weather forecasting is available, and I said IBM has internet access in Vero Beach. I advised them against going down to Vero Beach until the end of October when the hurricane season is offically over. I drove over to Grass Island and surveyed the waterfront where there were other people fishing. I noticed the cabin cruiser from Vero Beach leaving the harbor and the Island Beach Ferry coming in. I noticed the Greenwich Parks service was emptying the trash cans, and they are big strong dudes with Army T-shirts doing the work. I chatted with another fisherman about weather conditions in the Keys this time of year. I returned to central Greenwich and toured the Hospital Thrift Shop and told them about meeting an International Red Cross Head years ago in Constitution Square in Greece, and that my roommate in college and I both shook hands with him. I also mentioned that the International Red Cross has many duties besides blood donations. I advised them that I believe I am O+, and another family member is B- the universal donar. I also chatted with a couple of the shoppers and staff about random subjects. I went downtown and stopped for one of the local library patrons from Norway and offered him a lift, and told him about recent weather activities on the internet. I went to the library and briefly chatted with one regular. I left the library and went to the Grand Union and purchased Green Beans at .99 a pound for .58, Kelloggs Corn flakes large box for .99, Cherrios $2.50, two Tony's Pizzas for $2.50 apiece for $5, Tetley Tea Bags $1.49, 3 Tropicana Orange Juice half gallons for $5 total, three MyTFine Pudding Mix $2, a gallon of GU skim milk for $1.99, 2 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter packages for $1.29 each, a gallon of Goldfish crackers for $5.29, a Morell ham for $2.99 a pound for $4.99, a pound of Virgina bacon for $1.99, two 18 egg boxes for .99 each box for a total of $36.37. I chatted with one nice local couple about the fact that the gentleman was on the plane with me when I returned from my father's funeral in Illinois years ago. I noticed quite a few of the Monday morning senior citizen crowd out and about this Tuesday after Labor Day. I paid for my groceries and while putting them away, I chatted with a pilot about general topics to do with aviation and computers. He has good military sense from experience. I returned home with my groceries and put them away. I had some Ramen noodles. I filed this report. I will try to relax for a while and I have a 4 P.M. appointment today. Well enjoy your afternoons.

Note:<888>9/8/98 Tuesday 4:10 A.M. EDT: Words of Weather Humour. Yesterday moring while sitting in front of the Senior Center, the squirrel in the tree was going ape shit and basically ran me off, with its intense chattering focused right at me, so that pretty much confirmed to me, that the squirrel in the tree new exactly what was going to happen yesterday and this morning, I think somebody should give more nuts to the squirrel for being so vigalent. I have been observing that squirrel for quite a long time the last few years, the few in the trees there are usually out in the morning, and they frequently dump debris on me in the evenings, when I sit out.

Note:<888>9/8/98 Tuesday 3:30 A.M. EDT:Well I am finally up after the deep sleep. I woke up for a bite of breakfast of cerial, toast, orange juice, vitamins earlier, but fell back asleep. I also recieved a call from a friend out on Long Island and he said the whether had been bad out there, and I had chatted with his wife earlier. Well I am not sure how much rain we had, but when you have low blood pressure and a storm front comes in, you tend to get sleepy, so I usually sleep through stroms. Have a good morning. Also the night before last, when the full moon was waining, I noticed what looked like a star at about 2:30 P.M. o'clock on the face of the moon about one tenth of the diameter of the moon away from the moon, I don't recall seeing a star there, a downtown observer said it is "The Star of David", but I think at about 2 P.M. two nights ago, it might have been the morning star "Mercury", but it is so long ago since I studied the stars, I forget a lot. I think the "Star of David" is an asteroid of meteriorite, that comes around every thousand years, and creates havoic on the planet. Well it might be due soon, and maybe that is it. CIO
