Note:<888>10/21/98 Wednesday 3:50 A.M. EDT: I watched a program on the Rocky Mountains train that runs out to Portland. I went out about 2:30 A.M.. There was an officer parked at the end of the driveway. I mailed a letter. I went down Steamboat Road, and there was a bottle of Dubonet left in the middle of the road. There was a black Mercedes at the end with its occupant fishing on the pier. It is a cool crisp evening. I went by the Grand Union and bought 2 Tony's Supreme Pizzas for $5.99 for both, GU whole milk half gallon $1.79, a 12 pack of Vintage Seltzer $1.99 plus .60 can deposit, a dozen jumbo eggs $1.59, two boneless Shell Steaks at $3.99 a pound for $6.18 (last of stock until they replenish in the morning), for a total of $18.25 with .12 cents tax. I came home and broiled a center cut pork chop, with baked potatoe, and steamed brocolli for dinner with a lime rickey, and camomille tea with honey. I am also making ice tea with wine instead of lemon juice. I plan on relaxing for the rest of the morning before going to bed. It is plenty warm inside, and I am very comfortable. Hopefully the people in the State House will pay for my electricity, or you might see the price of energy go up for everyone. CIO

Note:<888>10/20/98 Tuesday 3:45 P.M. EDT: IBM financial information: Quarterly results IBM, Third Quarter 1998 Results Today. I was up about 1:30 P.M.. I had scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cappaccino for breakfast. I will probably go outside shortly after I clean up. CIO

Note:<888>10/20/98 Tuesday 3:40 A.M. EDT: I posted two new audio files University of Illinois, Computer Music "uoicm.htm" from an old record I bought in the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop about nine years ago for a dime, before my recent PC computer activity of the last eight years. I thought some old time computer people might enjoy it, since NCSA Mosaic has become very popular on the internet, or versions there of. I hope "ASCAP" does not mind. Tonight I slept from about 7:30 P.M. until about 10:30 P.M.. I got up and had a dinner of baked pork chop with wine, garlic, and herbs, baked onion, steamed green beans, baked potatoe, ice tea, and cappacinno. I watched a Ronald Regan movie circa 1945 something "Judy" until about 2 A.M.. I recorded the above sound files, and posted them during the next couple of hours. I have the space on the server right now, so I will let them remain as a curiosity. The record folder says the music was made on a computer called an "ILLIAC" and composed in "SCATRE (IBM-7094 assembly language) and in FORTRAN". By the way I finally fixed the Braun Cappacinno Machine. The large coffee holder spoon, had its metal stamp cup out of allignment with the plastic handle causing it to misallign when the upper aparatus was closed. Well have a good morning, I will rest shortly. CIO

Note:<888>10/19/98 Monday 6:00 P.M. EDT: I watched a little of "Rebel Without A Cause", last night and turned it off. I went out for a short walk around midnight. I went to bed about 3 A.M.. I was up at about noon today. I had breakfast of Grand Union Raisin Bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cappacinno. I went out about 2:15 P.M. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital and recieved my annual flu shot very quickly at the outpatient department. I went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down by the water. I made my 4 P.M. appointment. I went by the library and returned the videotapes. I mentioned the nice weather to one of the regular patrons. I suppose today was a perfect Indian Summer Day with clear skies, and temperture in the low 70s. Lets hope it lasts a few days. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , and I suppose that is all to report. CIO

Note:<888>10/18/98 Sunday 9:25 P.M. EDT: I went downtown about 6 P.M.. I checked with a local horse enthusiast, and he said they should rub horses exposed to fire ants with a mixture of vinegar and water. He did not give the proportions. He said horses have it rough being exposed from all the flies around horse manure all the time. On the way downtown I stopped by CVS and I bought a bag of Mars Three Muskateers Candy Bars for $1.99 and a bag of M&M Peanut Candies for $1.99 which I gave to my neighbor for the local trick or treaters. I also picked up a bag of black licrorice for .99 and 2 cans of Ajax cleaner for .88 for a total of $6.20 with .35 Ct. tax. I walked the lower area of Greenwich Avenue and had a Garcia & Vega Cavanish Whif in front of the Post Office. It was pretty busy for a Sunday night. I stopped by the Food Emporium and bought a gallon box of Goldfish crackers for $4.99, two Florida Natural Orange Juice half gallons for $1.69 each, a jar of Bornier Dijon French mustard for $2.39, and center cut boneless pork chops at $2.69 a pound for $2.77, for a total of $13.53. I returned home and started my laundry which is on the drying cycle right now. I had dinner of baked pork chop in wine and garlic with herbs, baked onion, steamed green beans, and baked potatoe, with ice tea and I am now drinking Capaccino. After I fold my laundry and finish my Capacinno, I plan to watch "Rebel Without A Cause". Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/18/98 Sunday 5:30 P.M. EDT: I chatted with a relative last evening living near Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio, Texas. They had 20 inches of rain there yesterday. They were without power, and the telephone is not working now. I was told by another relative who had spoken with them that the friends of theirs whom are personnel on the base at Fort Sam Houston were having major problems from the flooding with "Fire Ants" particularly covering the horses on base. I advised people I checked with the only remedy that I could think of off the top of my head is to cover the horses with "Liquid Detergent" and that might possibly keep the fire ants away from them. Today I was up at about noon after sitting up until about 3 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Corn Flakes, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cappacinno. I watered the plants and cleaned the apartment until 5 P.M.. I had Ramen noodles just now for a light meal. I will shower and clean up, and go out in about a half hour. CIO

Note:<888>10/17/98 Saturday 9:10 P.M. EDT: I added a new music file Bolero by Maurice Ravel "bolero.htm" . Today I went back to bed about 9 A.M. and slept until about 2 A.M.. I finally caught up on my sleep. I went downtown, and I drove down by the water. I stopped by Exxon and purchased $13.25 of premium gasoline. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read a couple of computer newsweeklies. I went downtown and walked around. I confured with a traffic officer about the Florida weather and what its forecast might be. I walked the lower area of Greenwich Avenue. I sat in the park a brief spell. It was the usual weekend crowd. It was a very nice day, lets hope it stays that way. I went by the Grand Union and purchased Tropicana Orange Juice $1.99, Tropicana Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice $1.99, a half gallon of GU homogenized milk $1.78, a 12 pack of Vintage Seltzer $1.99 plus .60 deposit, two pork chops at $1.99 a pound $2.44, green beans at .99 a pound $1.13, a head of Brocolli at $1.69 a pound $1.50, five limes $2, 3 cans of Chicken of the Sea tuna $2, 5 cans of GU Mandarin Oranges $2, a box of Camomille Tea $2.89 for a total of $22.99 with a $1 can return. I also gave a $1 for the Alzeihmers Red Man collector. I returned home and put away the groceries, and made dinner. For dinner I had reheated ham, baked potatoe, steamed brocolli, green beans, and onion along with ice tea and Capacinno. I relaxed while and made the recording of bolero.htm . I checked out "Casablanca" and "Rebel Without A Cause" for viewing later tonight while at the library. Putnam Avenue west of me is closed for construction. CIO

Note:<888>10/17/98 Saturday 7:25 A.M. EDT: I just did the dishes, so the water is running again. I updated www.mikescott.net/stats.htm , which should be double the count since I have a second site. I am checking my email. CIO

Note:<888>10/17/98 Saturday 6:25 A.M. EDT: I went to bed after eating some goldfish crackers and ice tea about 8 P.M.. I got up about 6 A.M., and had breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and cappacino. I have not been able to do the dishes yet, since for some reason the water is not working. I suspose they might be cleaning out the main pipes. It is hard to tell. They do occassionally flush the pipes this time of year. I will do a little internet work, while I drink my capacinno. I guess I am back on a day schedule, so I can see all the power mad yuppies in the morning on Saturday. Remember to keep checking the Audubon Network to check the local bird activity. CIO

Note:<888>10/16/98 Friday 6:40 P.M. EDT: I was up until 7 A.M. on Thursday reflecting on the past readings. I got up about noon on Thursday, and I sifted through my last two weeks notes trying to figure out what happened. I made my 3 P.M. appointment without cleaning up or shaving since I got behind trying to realine the Braun Cappacino Machine plastic parts that were slightly warped. I did not succede, but earlier this morning today after a couple of hours I succeded. I think one needs to leave in the coffee grinds cup after using it, so the aparatus cools in a fixed place. It is working fine now. I drove by the bank downtown and made a deposit. I returned home chatting with a local ornathologist about local wildlife. I returned home about 5 P.M. and relaxed for a couple of hours. I chatted with one local resident about having our heat paid for by the state. I had a sense of fear and foreboding all day, for some odd reason. I had dinner of Ramen noodles. I started thinking about various senarios in history until about 6 A.M. in the morning. I also started up my humidifier in the living room to add humidity. I set up the Delonghi Oil Filled Radiators and and started up the one on low in the living room to had a little heat and humidity to the apartment the way I like it in the cooler weather. Earlier in the evening I toured the outside of the skating rink, and chatted with a White Poodle walker. I also added another pillow to the Queen Anne chair to make it more fuller. I moved a couple of old computer cases into the bedroom closet. I fiddled with the Braun Capacinno machine, but did not succede fixing it until about 9 A.M. on Friday morning. I did not turn on the computer on Thursday. I thought about various scenarios of undocumented history. I went out at 6:30 A.M. and stopped by Zyns and bought 4 buy 2 get 1 free of Merit Ultra Lights for $24, and a package of Garcia Vega Cavandish Whifs for $1.79. The Marlboro lites earlier in the week were messing me up, like they had chemicals or loco weed in them. I think the Cigarette makers should check their quality control. I had a bowl of Ramen noodles when I returned to the warmer apartment. I hope I can afford to keep the apartment warmer this winter, since it is the only way to keep my arthritis from acting up, and it is not really that large of an apartment. I also lowered the light level in the apartment since the bright lights and mirrors were hard on my eyes. I keep on one 75 watt light bulb, and one night light. I figure if I need more light, I can always turn on other lights. I was awaken about 1:30 P.M. by a visitor. I made him coffee and had breakfast of Kelloggs Corn flakes, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and capacinno. I showered while the visitor put in new spark plugs in his Volvo and other tuneup parts. I went for a drive with the guest, and he put in STP fuel injector in the Volvo, but he needs to have the timing checked. He also put in a new air filter, rotor, and cap. We drove down Steamboat Road and chatted with the local fishermen. It was a clear bright sunny day with moderate temperatures. I noticed that at the train station office park loading dock, somebody had dropped off a Black Mercury Outboard Engine Cover for disposal. We drove by the Grass Island and sat out and observed the harbor, the skies, and the birds. I noticed sea gulls, pair of swans, crows, sparrow hawks, a few nesting tree birds which I did not see closely, a few other types of soaring hawks, a few terns. I mentioned the Mercury Engine cover to a Grass Island user. I noticed a cigarette boat on the harbor. We noticed in front of the marshy grassy parking area at the sewer plant, in the tidal estuary between Baldwin Park, and the Grass Island Road, there was a quite large African Grey Harron, that might have blown in with hurricane Georges. It looked to be in good shapes, and seemed to be doing its usual fishing routine. I noticed they are redoing the pointing and maonry on the boys club. I chatted with one gentleman at the Grass Island Park about the observing the Pelicans at Biscayne Bay to see if they are staying in the area or leaving. I also saw about a half dozen Canadian Geese and three black ducks. I noticed a few high flying jets also. Returning through Bruce Park, I saw that a large flock of Canadian Geese had blocked the road, and I noticed the north ponds were full of Comerants. Thus the birds are flocking into more protective areas, although today was a clear day. We returned home and checked out the Mercedes Benz dealership lot. They have a new 230 Sports Model available. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , and I file this report. I will have some ham, potatoe, vegtable, and ice tea for dinner in a little while. Well have a good day, and enjoy yourselves. CIO

Note:<888>10/15/98 Thursday 3:45 A.M. EDT: I sifted through my email. I don't think there is that much internet news from this viewpoint, but one never knows. I heard some noise outside about an hour ago like a truck or something. I suspose when one lives in a quiet environment, one can even hear a pin drop. It is not really that quiet, since the typing makes noise, the old air purifier hums, the air conditioner fan runs, the computer fan runs, the refrigerator compressor cuts in and out, the Jamaican Aluminum studs in the building creak when the temperature changes, but the universal hum in the apartment is what I have become attuned to in my artificial apartment. Quite frankly if you want perfect quiet try living in the country in some remote location. However by urban standards it is quiet. I suspose one could look into noise cancellation, they play reverse imprint sounds to cancel out noice, however I think when one is outside, one should not wear earphones, since it is important to keep ones wits about them, in a busy environment. Too much noise in a quiet environment can be distracting too. Well I suspose we all get use to our environments. There is not really too much to report. I use to play music at night, but it kept me from thinking clearly. I suspose one could get use to the sounds of silence in other more remote parts of the world, until the weather changes. Even at night there is always a hum in the New York City area, from activity at a far distance. Well have a good evening, and give my best to the Swiss delegation as they look into other perspectives in the area. Bon Soir. CIO

Note:<888>10/15/98 Thursday 2:22 A.M. EDT: I went out about 9:30 P.M. this evening for an evening stroll. I parked downtown and walked around the lower area of Greenwich Avenue. There was a new restaurant "Inferno" opening across the street from the railroad station movie theatre. They have wood fired pizza. I noticed about ten people in the restaurant with white chefs hats. It was not very busy downtown. I noticed that "Inferno" has what looks like a Salt Water Acquarium in it, with white coral and I saw a small white fish in it. I returned to the post office area and had a small cigar. I noticed Starbucks was closing for the evening. Coffee is suppose to be going up in price. I sat in front of the senior center and noticed some local theatre players moving props. I walked to the top of Greenwich Avenue, and noticed a fellow on a bicycle coming from the laundrymat at the Grand Union with his laundry. I noticed two young fellows walking a Corgie dog. I walked down the Avenue, and I noticed a few other walkers mostly medical and hospital staff walking back and forth to the local hospital. I also chatted with the movie theatre manager across from the Sunoco station. I enjoyed the quiet cool evening air, and it did not seem too damp on my arthritis. I noticed a few young strollers coming back and forth to work. I drove down on Steamboat Road and observed the stars on a clear cool evening. I noticed a couple of houses on the water lit up like Christmas Trees. Other homes were darkened. I noticed a few lights twinkling across the way on Long Island. I noticed fishermen have been leaving blue fish remains on the dock. I suppose the sea gulls will retrieve them. I chatted with two young fishermen that showed up about the Blue Fish I use to catch out by the U.S. Navy Base Quonset Hut on Nantucket by Lyon Road on the Road to Sconset. I remember in October I once caught about 28 Blue Fish and 2 Bass with a fisherman from Blue Eyed, Missouri. I suppose with wind errosion, the shore has changed that beach front a bit. The Quonset Hut was tagged with the usual United States Department of Defense Sticker not to enter or disturb. From experience if the United States Department of Defense tags a piece of property not to be disturbed or not to enter or trespass, I would respect that warning. Also in that particular area one would have to watch out for deer tick which might carry Lyme disease. After surveying the stars on Steamboat Road, I returned to the center of town and took a short walk around the Dome restaurant which was empty. I noticed earlier they are still working on the sewer construction on Mason Street. I suppose that causes traffic problems in the day time. I did not see much else to report. I noticed the shops have the usual fall window displays. I drove down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn, and used the restroom. The usual night desk attendant was working. I gave her a quick summary of my viewpoint of local events. I noticed an assortment of visiting license plates in the parking lot. There are no visiting marine yachts that I noticed since it is cooler this time of year. I drove back down Steamboat Road, and heard a yacht club employee driving behind me yell at me for driving too slowly. I advise people when driving on Steamboat Road to drive slowly, since families do live on Steamboat Road along with employees of various operations. I suppose if the local users of the road in the community don't respect a slow speed limit, we could close it off and restrict it to residents and employees; as they have done various times in the past. Anything is possible. I have to remind you the Greenwich Times is not the legal authority in Greenwich. Steamboat Road have various private addresses, and like any area association if the taxpayers on the road wanted to maintain a security box, they probably could; like many other private roads in town. It would be somewhat confusing, but the legal president is already set. I returned home and had a English Corona Cigar that I bought for about a $1 earlier in the month. I hope I did not disturb any of my neighbors with cigar smoke, since I don't think this time of year anyone would be sleeping with their windows open. I noticed on the grass behind the front entry way wall, somebody has left a latter which could be used to scale to the second story. I suppose some cleaver maintenance man left it there. I came upstairs and thought for a while and then filed this report. As far as I can tell, it is a usual quiet fall evening in Greenwich, Connecticut USA. CIO
