Note:<888>9/30/99 Thursday 11:45 P.M. EDT: Well I went for a walk on Greenwich Avenue after the last message. I chatted with a retired railroad employee about local activity. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of times. I noticed when going out that they are spraying the Byram River by building tomorrow evening at 7 P.M.. I drove down by the waterfront and nothing is going on. The Greenwich Harbor Inn is closed for the next year for remodeling. I can't figure out why they have to remodel. I never stayed there, but it looks perfectly presentable to me. The previous owners went bankrupt with a $10 million tax judgement against them, so maybe it is just not a profitable operation. That lowers the night time pedestrian activity on Greenwich Avenue by about a fifth. I returned home, and I chatted with one of my neighbors. Not much else to report on. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/30/99 Thursday 8:25 P.M. EDT: Well I cleaned up, and I went out and made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove by the habor. I went by the Greenwich Library, and I read the local paper, and I read three computer newsweeklies. I drove back down by the waterfront, and I viewed the habor and chatted with a few locals for a while. I noticed three swans on the harbor two young and one older. I did not see any other birds on the harbor like gulls, so maybe croc of gator is still around. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a 12 oz. container of GU frozen orange juice for $1.39 and used $1.15 in cans to help puchase it. I returned home and put the frozen orange juice in the refrigerator to defrost and had a diet Sprite in a frozen mug. I made up a box of spehetti noodles and I also mixed a 12 oz. can of white clam sauce, two cans of mushroom, one diced onion, herbs and spices, a quarter cup of white wine, several tablespoons of olive oil, four pads of margerine and heated it all stirring over low heat while the spehetti noodles boiled. I then had spegehetti with white clam sauce and ice tea. I will now make some coffee to have after dinner. While I was out this afternoon, I made a C: drive to E: drive backup. Well it was a nice afternoon. Remember to watch out for mosquitoes with encyphalitis when your out in the evening at sunset and also in the morning at sunrise. Not much else to report. CIO

Note:<888>9/30/99 Thursday 1:30 P.M. EDT: Well I slept from about 6 A.M. until 11 A.M.. I listened to some computer broadcast. I had some reheated pasta friche, buttered toast, ice tea and coffee. I updated Scott's Weekly Broadcast sound.htm . I have a 3 P.M. appointment, so I have to get ready to go out soon. Have an enjoyable afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>9/30/99 Thursday 6:00 A.M. EDT: I spent most of the evening and morning working on the computer. I played with the sound drivers and reinstalled them trying to get Netmeeting to work to no avail. I install @home 1.7 for Internet Explorer. By removing "npbmv32.dll" in both the plugin folders for Communicator and Internet Explorer, when I star the @home browser, it does not try to load my 75,000 bookmarks. I reinstalled some basic files and did a little system maintenance. I had some Pasta fraiche and bread and butter with ice tea about 4 A.M.. Well the system is running fine, and although it does not seem like I accomplished much, there are always a few minor headaches. When installing @home 1.7 for either web browser, it try to install to install a system backup program which when it starts automatically on my system uses too many resources. After installing the setup files, before reboot, I disable the backup program in the System Information, System Configuration, Startup Files settings. Well I have a 3 P.M. appointment this afternoon, so I might rest for a while. My back is not too bad right now. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/29/99 Wednesday 8:45 P.M. EDT: I made a tape backup this morning while I was sleeping. I got up around 3 P.M., and I cancelled my site at www.mikescott.net down in Florida as of October 24, 1999. I had three eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins for breakfast. I got a tired spell and went back to bed until 8 P.M.. I had the rest of my coffee and four slices of bread when I woke up, and I also took a back pill. My back is feeling better. Well have a good evening, I believe it is suppose to rain this morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/29/99 Wednesday 7:30 A.M. EDT: I tried to rest, and then I got back up and did my email. I installed AOL 5.0 which just came out, and I uninstalled AOL 4.0. Not much else to report on. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/29/99 Wednesday 4:00 A.M. EDT: I went back out and drank a thermos of coffee in the post office plaza. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and around the train station and up Arch Street. I sat out for a while at the Post Office Plaza. Not much to report. As usual it is quite out Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/29/99 Wednesday 2:10 A.M. EDT: I am making coffee to go out and enjoy on this enjoyable morning. I also noticed Number 46 Canadian License Plate on Greenwich Avenue today in close to sixteen years. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/29/99 Wednesday 1:55 A.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I then sat out for a while. I walked up to the top of Greenwich Avenue. There was a used pair of hiking boots about size 9 1/2 disgarded in front of Outdoor Traders. I walked down towards Mason Street. I sat out opposite the Presbyterian Church. They have a sign out that there is a Closet Sale on October 1 and 2. I walked down the Avenue, and I saw a new pair of womens shoes disgarded on the stone wall in front of the Greenwich Common with a CVS bag about size 5. I sat out for a while. I drove over to CVS in Old Greenwich and they have a ben of generic cigarettes for $1.20 each. I got five packs for $6.36. I drove back to the center of town. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, and I walked around the train station platform area. I returned to the post office plaza area. I noticed a sign for a Art Festival in front of the Senior Center at the Bruce Museum I believe on October 9 and 10. I returned to Byram, and I went to Cumberland Farms, and I bought a quart of milk for $1.09. I came home and I am now making Pasta Fraiche. I am also having a Citra soda in a chilled mug. Well have a good morning. Remember to watch out for mosquitoes with encyphalitis in this area. I am just about to sit down to dinner. CIO

Note:<888>9/28/99 Tuesday 10:10 P.M. EDT: I was up at about 2:45 P.M., and I still had the bad back. I called the Greenwich Hospital 1-203-863-3000 and I made an appointment to go over to outpatient at 4 P.M.. I had Kelloggs raisin bran and orange juice with vitamins. I showered and cleaned up. I went over to the hospital, the Doctor said I probably pulled out my psyacariliac. I also have only lost three pounds since my last physical, so I put on weight and lost fifteen pounds recently. I was given twelve Vioxx 12.5 mg. tablets to take once a day. I then stopped by CVS looking for a large Djeep lighter which they were out of. I parked downtown, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and back up Arch Street. I returned home, and I went to bed until 9 P.M.. When I got up my back felt a bit better, but it still hurts slightly when I sit down and stand up. I had some reheated brown rice, ice tea, and coffee. I then restarted the server, and I filed this report. Well I will go out shortly, so have an enjoyable evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/28/99 Tuesday 6:30 A.M. EDT: At USC Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Team they have TSUNAMI FIELD SURVEY MOVIES with a 17.1 meg movie of a Tsunami Computer Simulation in California. Also this link shows what could happen from a Tsunami in any coastal area after a small asteroid impact on the ocean Tsunami from Asteroid Impacts . Well now after you finish worrying about the Reptile having you for lunch, you can worry about that. I am going to try to sleep for a while, my back is still hurting. CIO

Note:<888>9/28/99 Tuesday 4:30 A.M. EDT: Well my back has been hurting me all evening in the lower righthand side. I have been trying to relax. I put MediaRing.com - Linking People Connecting Minds on the computer which now works with a cable modem. I have been cat napping not bothering to go outside.Whenever I try to pull on my shorts or put on my socks I get a severe pain in my back. Also when I sit down it hurts after a while. I have been lying down in bed, and also the short blue sofa with my feet propped up is comfortable. I called the British Embassy in Washington D. C. and chatted with the security personnel, but they fell asleep. There number is 1-202-462-1340 and since the U.S. Government intelligence services and other foreign governments monitor them, it is a good way to pass a message to the intelligence community. I told them about the Reptile problem here, and suggested the build a Gator Fence like around the White House or the Rockefeller Estate in North Terrytown, New York. The only problem is that if it is indeed a thirty foot plus King Crocodile in this area are swimming up and down the coastal Atlantic regions which it could, it might actually be much larger, and possibly swimming in a Aluvia or large pack of them. Thus we would try building a fifty foot deep moat around the British Embassy and putting the gator fencing on either side. However a much larger King Crocodile could dig much deeper in muddy soil. I guess they would have more of a problem digging deep in Connecticut with all the rocks. However the recently disceased George C. Scott kept a stone wall around is property up in the swamp area around Stillman Rockefellers property which might have been partially effective. Still in swampy terrain it could dig much deeper. Needless to say, I am happy to sit inside, but if it is a really big gator, caiman, or crock it could jump up to a second story landing and barge into a second story window. Thus we need to go to our full gator defences. I advised a local veteran to check out what the local vets know about such reptiles in their travels. There is mention today in the Fox News service that China plans to invade and takeover Taiwan again, which might cause some sort of international difficulty for any neutrals living in that part of the world. Well have a good morning, and I will continue to rest. CIO

Note:<888>9/27/99 Monday 8:45 P.M. EDT: Well I went out about 3:15 P.M., and I made my stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I made my 4 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the waterfront. I chatted with two gentleman in a new blue cadillac, and told them they should try to sell more Cadillacs. I noticed they had the 45 th Canadian license plate, I had seen in Greenwich in 15 close to 16 years. I told one of the senior gator watchers about the local reptile problem. I next went by the library and said hello to some of the regulars. I read the local paper and also two computer newsweeklies. I chatted with one regular patron about the Carnegie Foundation. I checked out Louis Pasteur by Patrice DeBre. I noticed there are quite a few new books out. They don't have the new Reagan of Bush books. I returned home, and I back was still bothering me. I had some reheated speghetti and ice tea. I tried to rest my back a bit. I tried reading a bit of the Reagan book in bed instead of sitting up which hurts my back. I decided to file this report. Well since my back is bothering me, I will stay inside this eveing. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/27/99 Monday 2:50 P.M. EDT: Well I chatted with a friend about 7 A.M., and I went back to bed until 2 P.M.. I did get one phone call from a family member. I had some reheated brown rice and a diet Sprite just now. I also made up a patch of icetea.htm and seeped it while I was asleep, and just now put it in the refrigerator. Well have a good afternoon. My back was bothering me when I got up. CIO

Note:<888>9/27/99 Monday 6:35 A.M. EDT: Well I read through chapter 22 of Ronald Reagan's autobiography published a number of years ago, and on page 125 he mentions in the 1950s he was paying 94% taxes out in California on his income, so that is why he never had that much money saved up once he bacame President. I suppose much would be said for a lot of the other percieved as being wealthy from that period across the United States. Thus most of their taxed income is probably invested in the highway infrastructure of the United States that was built in that period, and a lot of established tax payers paid to build. I also checked with the Greenwich Police Department and suggest that beside buying and old office building for new headquarters, they could build a new state of the art security complex on the site of the Cos Cos power plant instead of using the old run down Cabin Feaver Records building. I also suggested they should study the precinct concept here in town, but the nature of the town it would probably be better to have 5 to 10 mobil command post set up at 10 to 20 hookup locations with dispatch vehicles located around them including GEMs vehicles. Thus at different times of the year, and with different public safety matters, they could rotate them around, and it would offer patrol officer operating facilities in the neighborhoods they work in saving the neccessity of returning to a central station all the time. Also whether at the old Cabin Feaver Records building or at the Cos Cos Power Plant location in a new state of the art building, it would seem Indian Field Road at exit four off I95 is going to have to be widened to accommodate extra traffic with emergency vehicles. It would almost seem if it has not been done already, that they might need to do some sort of long term planning in terms of state, municipal, and regional development and see how all these diverse facilites would fit into the local long term regional plan. Basically it would seem to me that some of the regional banks might have long term plans in terms of the development of the area, that they have not informed the general public as to how these different development program fit into the overall scheme. Needless to say the local Greenwich Times, does not even publish the minutes of the RTM anymore, so basically I think it would be safe to assume we are part of a Exxon Rockefeller development, and I did see somebody downtown on Thursday night at 10 P.M. walking from the Dome Restaurant to a parked rental car with chauffer and body guard that looked like David Rockefeller, Junior; and I overheard him say; "We're Smarter Than These People." Well I guess as long as the economy support the new development, acitivity will continue to progress; but boom times never last forever; so remember to save for a rainy day. CIO

Note:<888>9/27/99 Monday 3:05 A.M. EDT: I was up at 1:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, five strips of bacon, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I listened to the BBC and they were complaining that one should eat a low cholestral diet, so maybe they should have suggested a low cost alternative such as oatmeal, which last I heard was plentiful in Scotland. Basically the printed press in looking to cover stories about notable people somehow seems to miss the point that a lot of noteable people spend a lot of time reading, so therefore instead of covering mundane facts about noteable people which are not relavant, they should seek to assertain which book or periodical literature they are reading during their reading periods. Well so much for political commentary. I will now relax a bit and read another fifty or so pages from the Reagan biography that came out a number of years ago. George Bush has a new book coming out around October 6, so that will give something for the Reagans to read. I guess anyone whom reads a lot, should also reference which libraries, bookstores, and newstands they also use. Well have a good day, and remember if you get bored of English beside the English speaking libraries in the UK, there are also good libraries in French in towns like Paris. I believe there is a brand new library in Paris. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>9/26/99 Sunday 4:00 P.M. EDT: Well after I had a cup of herbal brown rice and ice tea, I went out and stopped by the Greenwich Library, and I read the Greenwich Times. I chatted with a local whom I had not seen in several weeks, and I briefed him on the reptile matter. He told me the largest individual stockholder in IBM is a Danish merchant ship owner. He showed me a picture of the Aka Khan and his uncle with their wives, so if I ever see them floating around, I will recogize them. I saw a lot of familiar faces. The Greenwich Times says that George Bush is suppose to be over in Stamford, Connecticut signing books on October 6,1999. I was thinking that since the crocodille is the symbol of the Bourbon family, it might have come over here to protect any member of such a clan linkering in the area, like a Royal watch dog. I next went downtown, and I saw lots of afternoon strollers. I chatted with a neighbor once I returned. I am bushed, so I might go to bed soon. I tried calling a family member. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/26/99 Sunday 12:45 P.M. EDT: Well I went out at first light. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a regular at the Greenwich train station which is open on Sundays now. I said hello to a visiting resident from Austria, and told him there are Autrian skiers at Stowe, Vermont. I walked back uptown. I chatted with the same regular. I then walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again, and I chatted with a few morning regulars. I then returned uptown and chatted with the same regular. I then walked up the Avenue with another regular morning walker. We rested at the bench by the Presbyterian Church, and then we walked up by Christ Church and the Synogogue and then down the Post Road by the High School, and then back downtown. I then sat out until 11:30 A.M. obsering the morning Starbucks crowd. I noticed people still park their left front tires right up to the granite curbs when parking on Greenwich Avenue, and I frequently comment it is poor cival engineering since the granite curbs cut the sidewalls which are thinner of the left front radial tires creating potential highway hazzards. I noticed quite a few youngster and families out for morning strolls. I returned via Exxon and bought $12.75 of premium. I recommended to Exxon that they should dump a forty pound defrosted turkey in Horse Neck Brook by Malcom Prays and one also by the bridge by the Exxon Station in Byram at sunset and see if indeed a saltwater crocodile or alligator or saltwater caymen tries to eat them during night. Concievably they could use police surveillance equipment to see if we can catch the reptile in the act. Of course if we do find such a reptile, and it has not harmed any humanoid forms, it would be protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act. I returned home and chatted with a couple of my neighbors. I noticed a friendly baseball game was just beginning to start in the baseball park behind the Dorthy Hamill rink and behind the 71 Vinci Drive building. Not much else happening. I plan to have some reheated herbal brown rice, and ice tea. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>9/26/99 Sunday 5:45 A.M. EDT: I tried to rest a bit, but I could not fall asleep. I decided to make a some herbal brown rice. I put in 2.5 cups of water in a heavy cooking pot, and I turned it on to boiling, and I added four tablespoons of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", a tablespoon of olive oil, a dash of Lea & Perrins worstershire sauce, a dask of McHilney's tabassco sauce, a eight of a cup of white wine, a tablespoon of terriaki sauce, a dash of ground black pepper, a bit of garlic powder, basil, oregano, Italian season, Ramen noodles seasoning, cinammon, Chinese five spice, hot curry, two beef boulion cubes, Hugarian pepperica, celery salt, poutry seasoning, to which when it all boiled I added one and a eight cups of brown rice, and a seven ounce can of mushroom stems and pieces which I simmered for 50 minutes until most of the moisture was observed, and then I refrigerated it in a rubbermaid container for having to reheat latter on. It could also be used for refried rice. Well I am listening to the BBC morning report, which is amusing as usual on Sunday since I think they can afford to have a cocktain on Saturday nights. Well not much else to report. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/26/99 Sunday 3:45 A.M. EDT: Well I finished reading the Ronald Reagan biography through chapter 12, page 100. Not much happening around here, perhaps I will take a nap before cleaning up and going out in the morning. Have an enjoyable morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/26/99 Sunday 1:10 A.M. EDT: I went back to bed and got up at 8 P.M.. I had the rest of the pasta fraiche and ice tea. I started cleaning my apartment and watering the plants. I finished this activity about midnight. I defrost some speghetti sauce and boiled some spehetti, and I had a speghetti dinner with ice tea and coffee. While doing this I made C: and D: drives backups to the E: drive, and E: drive to to C: drive backup, along with optimizing with Norton Speedisk all three hard drives. I watched a bit of the History Channel while finishing up this activity. My back is bothering me again from cleaning up. I think lifting the octagon table while vacuuming strains my back, which happened last Sunday also. I guess now, I will splash some water on my face, and possibly sit down and do a little reading of the Ronald Reagan biography that I started last night. I also plan to quit running the Florida server on October 23, 1999 when the present payment runs out, so be sure to use the local home server http://mrscott.com/ here in Greenwich, Connecticut USA. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/25/99 Saturday 4:00 P.M. EDT: I was up at 1:30 P.M., and I checked all my fonts deleting them and trying to run Netmeeting and then reinstalling them, and unless it is one of half dozen fonts that can't be deleted, they are not what is keeping Netmeeting from running. It might be a problem with my AOL Networking, but it does not seem that would cause a problem. I have not found a solution the Microsoft knowlegebase. I recieved Jeb Bush's email newsletter from Florida, and he plans to fly up to New York this Thursday and return the following Friday. I don't know if he will be coming out to Greenwich or not. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. Well I will either rest or clean up and go out in a while. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/25/99 Saturday 8:00 A.M. EDT: I did some routine work. I checked my system fonts to see if they were keeping Netmeeting from starting, but it still does not start; but I never used it anyway. Well I just had some pasta fraiche and ice tea. It just thundered, so maybe it will rain this morning. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/25/99 Saturday 2:10 A.M. EDT: I watched a hour show on the History Channel from 11 P.M. to midnight about the historical political campaigning between Jack Kennedy and Dick Nixon. I then went outside and smoke a cigar cigarette. I then read the first four chapters of "An American Life Ronald Reeagan The Autobiography". I believe there is suppose to be a new Reagan biography out this week, so I will have to look for it in the library. Reading tech news all the time, all you hear about is tech people; occassionally one enjoys changing the subject matter and relaxing at home reading. Well have a good morning, maybe I will try some other household chores or activities. I am really not a television watcher, mostly a reader. CIO

Note:<888>9/24/99 Friday 11:05 P.M. EDT: I went back to bed after the last message, and I got up at 9 P.M.. I updated Stroud's CWSApps List - New 32-bit Apps. Free Software downloads for Windows 95/98/NT to Microsoft Direct X 7.0 and a latest version Music Match Jutebox. I listened to BBC Up All Night while having some pasta fraiche, ice tea, and now coffee. I will watch a bit of the History Channel now GIST TV Listings . Not much happening, have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/24/99 Friday 6:45 P.M. EDT: I went to bed about 9 A.M., and I was up at 5 P.M.. I put together a page on Alligators, Crocodiles, and Caimans gator001.htm from the Microsoft Encarta 98 and the World Book Encyclopedia Cdroms. I also had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. Well I guess I will clean up in a while and head over to the library. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/24/99 Friday 5:05 A.M. EDT: Well after dinner of pasta fraiche and ice tea, I went out about 10 P.M. last night. It was a quiet night out, and I sat out for a while. I noticed a few business people making the rounds. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of time, and it was a quiet night. I noticed www.restorationhardware.com is selling Kazoos for $3. It was a typical fall night, and it was a bit chilly; so I wore my fall jacket without a sweater. I returned home about 12:15 A.M., and had some more pasta fraiche and ice tea. I sat around relaxing until about 2 A.M.. I then remembered I had to do my laundry, so I did it and finished it about 4:30 A.M.. I had two large loads, so it was slightly damp when I took it out. I put it away. I relaxed while I was doing it. I suppose it is enjoyable to have some quiet time. Not much to report on. I noticed that George C. Scott passed away. Quite frankly I did not know he was even out in California around his family. I suppose he got wind of the Gator and was living out there for quite awhile to avoid it. Well I guess it goes to show, that it is a large extended family network on both sides of the continent. Not really much to report on, I suppose I will have to start slowing down for the morning. I have been feeling a bit laxidaisical. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/23/99 Thursday 8:45 P.M. EDT: I went to bed at 4 A.M., and I was up at noon. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I rested a bit after breakfast, and then I cleaned up; and I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I then drove down and parked in the center of town, and I sat for a while at the veterans monument. I chatted with one regular walker. I walked down by the train station, and I chatted with a retired railroad employee. I walked through the train station, and there were lots of commuters there. I walked over to the other side of the platform, and there was a commotion there, somebody was nearly passed out on the steps. Railroad employees told me that they had called the police. It took about 35 minutes for the Emergency Medical Technicians to arrive. I explained that frequently somebody might not be drunk, but they might have had a stroke, a bee sting causing an allergic reaction, or possibly have been given a Mickey Finn in a local establishment in Manhattan. Once the EMTs transported the person away, I walked back up the Avenue, and I drove over to the Greenwich Library. I read the local paper, and it said they would be spraying for mosquitoes with St. Louis encephalytis from trucks in Old Greenwich tonight at about 7 P.M.. I read a computer magazine. I then departed the library and noticed two patrons arruging about a sratched door. I stopped by VALs liquor at the Grand Union shopping plaza and picked up three empty cardboard wine boxes. I then returned home and I removed all the contents of my trunk from the Volvo and I reorganized the trunk putting in various items in the boxes, and resorting other items. I took out the small clay potting pots and put them in the community room kitchen for my neighbors to use. Thus I have room for about one suitcase in the trunk, if I move the snow shovel. I went upstairs, and I had diet Sprite in a frosted mug and some peanuts. I went back downstairs, and I put the pots in the community room kitchen. I then returned upstairs and started making pasta fraische which should be ready in about ten minutes. I filed this report while doing that. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>9/23/99 Thursday 1:25 A.M. EDT: I was up about 1 P.M. today. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I next cleaned up, and I recieved a phone call from an individual complaining how I told someone where he lived, and the individual had only told me about a million times where he lives as if he wanted everyone to know. When the individual called a second time, I answered "Cornelius Vanderbilt residence, Mr. Vanderbilt is at his Grenada, Spain residence." Then I hung up. When I returned after my errands there was a message on my answering machine with much the same complaint. Next I stopped by the Arnold Bakery bread outlet, and I bought three loaves of Arnold Masters Winter Wheat for $4.03 total. I then headed over to the as I recall the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and chatted with customers about a possible salt water crocodile in the lake on the ninth hole of a local country club. I then checked some of the merchandise. They had an electronic air purifier that sparked with a ten thousand volt spark when you turned it on. Realistically the hospital thrift shop should not sell used electronics. I noticed a book by Penny Junor on Prince Charles for sale. I eventually bought a folding wine rack which I put in my bedroom for $1.50. Now all I need is some wine for it. I then stopped by the ELDC thrift shop, but on the way I informed a local pedestrian while walking by the new Christ Church Manse about the salt water crocodile in Greenwich Harbor. I then continued on to the ELDC thrift shop, and they told me that all the Florida people had gone back south. They had a nice old spinning wheel there for $95. I next went over to downtown Greenwich and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a few locals about waterfront problems. I mentioned to a local from Trinidad they should gallon bottles of Angostora Bitters here. I walked around the lower downtown area on a cool blustery afternoon. It looks like hurricane Flyod has spun over Scotland and around Scandanavia and over Russia and the North Pole, and come back down heading Northwest to Southeast with lots of moisture still. I suppose it dropped a bit of snow up in the artic. I then went over to the Greenwich Library, and I read a couple of computer newsweeklies. I noticed one article said the Navy Research Laboratory in Monterey figured out with a CRAY supercomputer three days before hurricane Floyd would hit North Carolina instead of Florida, and they sent the ships out to sea. I hope they also informed the general public. I would not know since I hardly ever watch television or read a newspaper, just the internet stories. I noticed while sitting down in the comfortable chairs in the library, some change fell out of my pocket; and it was quite difficult to retrieve out of the cushion. I eventually departed to the Grand Union. I bought a half gallon of Florida Natural Juice for $1.99, a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69, a dozen large eggs for $1.49 for a total of $5.17. I chatted with one returning member of the old library skate board mafia whom I had not seen in nine years, and I guess he is now a doctor after attending premed and medical school for nine years. He looks a bit like a family member. He said he is now living in Brooklyn, New York now. I recall last night when I went out, I was looking at http://www.ccc.nottingham.ac.uk/pub/sat-images/DTOT.JPG and over Diego Garcia in the India Ocean, there seems to be forming a dense tropical storm formation tha might head into the Carribean in a week, however the local cooler weather would probably keep it from being too intense up north. I noticed quite a few people were just buying a few items, like nobody had any money. I suppose possibly the Clinton fundraising in Westport, Connecticut is syphoning off lots of money from local people in the area whom really can not afford it. I guess local doctors make so much money off government medicaid and other medical payments it is a way of paying back the polticians. I would think that would be illegal, but since the attorney general has Parkinsons Syndrom, I guess she is absent minded. I next returned home, and I had a Spinich pizza for dinner with ice tea. I rest for a bit, and then I downloaded and installed StarOffice which is free. I have noticed lots of Russians as usual following me around, so I guess they think I am the Czar of Russia planning to take over Russia again. Well from what I can tell as usual not much is happening which is normal. Also Greenwich is going to spray Thursday night for St. Louis Encyphalytus. I guess we're pretty lucky here compared to eastern North Carolina. I will keep a sharp eye out for visiting dignitaries with the United Nations General Assembly starting up its annual sessions. I have been here for so long, I can't seem to remember if I am part of some other foreign country delegation or not. I always seem to have blue and white on my mind, so maybe it is some group with blue and white colors. Well for all I know we're still in Greenwich, Switzerland. I forgot to mention I transfered control of my Greenwich, Connecticut pocession to my Swiss Corporation, so we are a seperate Canton of Switzerland, but the taxes to Switzerland will actually be higher than United States taxes. It had something to do with Internation Law of something. Well have a good evening, and don't take any wooden nickles from any of the local indians. I am still continuing to avoid the waterfront in case any reptiles are out there lurking and much could be said for the swam wetland areas of town. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>9/22/99 Wednesday 7:25 A.M. EDT:I went out about 1:30 A.M., and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I studied some of the Pied a Terres, Sothebys has for sale in their Pickwick Plaza display monitor which seemed to be somewhat unique properties. I noticed at the boutique across from the Dome Restaurant they have a nice picture of a British aristocrat horseback riding with his wife. I noticed the Bacarat crystal shop has a modern display. I noticed the French antique shop up the road across from St. Mary's has a new shipment of Paris collecables. I noticed that as usual a lot of other shops are getting ready for the fall and winter seasons. I suppose one could go on and on about Greenwich Avenue, but I usually don't do much shopping there anymore other than CVS, since I have most everything I need; but it is always an enjoyable exercise walk viewing the morning hub bub and other assorted activity at various time of the day or week. No unusal reptiles spotted in the area, so possibly they headed down to warmer places like Washington D.C. to feast on the local wharf rats. I suppose with the change of seasons more of the Northern folk or making their annual migration here for the winter where it is warmer. I guess we can expect pretty much the normal routine as ever. I am a bit bushed, so I suppose I should start thinking about going to bed. I basically relaxed most of the morning. From what I can tell there is not much to report here. Well have a good morning.
