Note:<888>10/31/98 Saturday 11:55 A.M. EST: I was thinking about the ABC news report last night that there was a record harvest of grain out in midwest this year, the second best this century. They showed large piles of grain particularly corn, they are afraid will go to waste, since the Russians can't afford to buy our grain stockpiles to feed to their lifestock. I was thinking what they don't need, we might try feeding to our lifestock, or better yet using it to make corn whiskey or other grain alcohols, which would last for a long time and supposedly only get better after aging, so I advise the farmers in the midwest not to waste all that excess corn and grain, and to get to work fermenting it into good old fashion corn liquor or what ever modern day equivalent might be useful in the future. No point in letting all the corn and grain go to ruin, and I am sure it won't hurt to fatten up the lifestock also. Well those are my thought for the day. CIO

Note:<888>10/31/98 Saturday 11:15 A.M. EST: I went downtown about 8 A.M.. I stopped by St. Moritz bakery and bought a croissant for $1. I went down by the harbor on Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor and the weather is very nice today. I stopped by the hospital thrift shop and viewed the merchandise. They have a nice wooden chest mirror in the back room. I went by Peabody's and told them, my friend was not looking for a used car. I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds to pay my bills. I drove down to the Greenwich Avenue Post Office, and paid last month's electricity bill, and last month's cablevision bill, and this month's MCI bill, and this month's GEICO insurance bill. I also purchased 20 Yellow Rose stamps for $6.40, and the four money orders were .85 apiece for $3.40. I stopped by the lower avenue newstand, and bought three, three packs of buy two get one free of camel lights for $17.70. I will have to quit smoking sometime soon, but the reality the largest taxpayer in town is Fortune Brands, the old Duke tabacco, is the largest tax payer in town, along with U.S. Tabacco is another major taxpayer in town, and U.S. Tabacco money is paying for the new Peterson addition to the Greenwich Library, plus a members of the Reynolds family are long term residents and philanthropists in Greenwich, so we can't pretend that tabacco does not exist in Greenwich, plus I believe the president of Phillip Morris lives here, all much to our ill health. I returned home, and smoked a white owl panatella. I had some ramen noodles, soy sauce, and ice tea. I filed this report, and I will go to bed shortly. CIO

He just bought a used 1988 Saab 900 moss green with 87,000 miles for $4,500 at a used Saab dealership in Fairfield, Ct. that specializes in selling used Saabs. It is a very clean car in Mint condition, and he hopes to have it over a 150,000 miles. He is very pleased with it. We went out for a test drive about 7:30 and I returned at 8:30 P.M.. I went out after he left and dropped off an old electrolux vacuum cleaner at the Hospital Thrift Shop without the hoses, I found by our dumpster. I walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue. My right knee has a bit of arthritis, so I am not walking very much. I returned home and updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which did very well today. I filed this report, well have a good morning.

I went to the center of town and walked around the lower area of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed a few young people coming and going from the Dome Restaurant. My right knew had a little arthritis pain while walking. I returned to Byram and bought a gallon of whole milk at Cumberland Farms for $2.79. I returned home and started making icetea.htm .

I went out this morning at 8:30 A.M.. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove downtown and bought the last pack of buy two get one free of Merit Ultra lights. I drove down by the water and surveyed the sound. I went by Peabody's to see if they have any used Volvos for a friend. I went by the Greenwich Library and chatted with a few regulars. I returned home about 11 A.M.. I chatted with my friend Chris chris.htm, on his 25th birthday. He is doing well in Germany. He is having a hard time finding a job, since he is not a German resident. He is living with his girl friend who is teaching in a kidagarden. He sounded very upbeat. I suggested to him checking out some U.S. offices that might be in the area, to see if they have any work for him. He is thinking about coming back in January to possibly continue his education. He now have his drivers license. He seems to be enjoying Germany. Well I am sure Chris will figure out something to do. I suggested to him, if he saw any signs that said "IBM", to check out and see if they have any work for him. Since Germany charged for local telephone time, and he does not have the internet, one might be able to save money in Germany with the Hughes Communications DirectX television Satellite Transciever, but since Chris can't afford a computer that would be way over his budget. Anyway Chris is an expert skateboarder and nature enthusiast, so he might enjoy exploring other happenings in Germany. Well the NASA launch spurred the Stockmarket ahead today. Scott's Index scopor01.htm was up quite a bit today. Well have a good evening, I have to clean up, and go out for a stroll in a little while. Thumbs Up to NASA nasa.htm .

Note:<888>10/29/98 Thursday 6:15 A.M. EST: I wrote a birthday greetings to my friend in Germany chris.htm , and went out and mailed it at 4 A.M.. If you need postal rates for foreign mail overseas try www.usps.gov . It cost me a $1.80 for a two ounce letter via air mail to Germany. I enjoy exercising my right to prose in writting, so I enjoy writting letters. After mailing the letter, I stopped by the other main post office downtown and smoked a White Owl Panatella cigar and enjoyed viewing the night sky. I mentioned to one early morning walker, that the old viewpoint "That There Will Always Be An England Providing The Ravens Remain In The Tower Of London" is still my main viewpoint. After walking the lower part of Greenwich Avenue, I sat in front of the Senior Center for a while. I mentioned to another regular morning walker, I had heard from our mutual acquaintence in Germany. They are still for the last several weeks working on the sewer project on Mason Street again, and have a temporary pipe setup along lower Greenwich and Railroad Avenues to divert the sewage. Let's hope it does not overflow into the harbor again this time. I drove down via Steamboat Road pier, and it was a perfectly calm and quiet night without a ripple on Long Island Sound. It looked perfect for walking on water, which is suppose to be an old Indian Vacar Trick, but I did not feel like trying it.Well after viewing the stars in the clearing skies, I surmized it might be a nice day today. I stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn and said "Good Morning" to the regular night clerk. They had fans going to dry off the carpet, they had just cleaned. I returned home and had some Ramen noodles, and made a cup of regular coffee and sat down to the computer to file this report. I will have to go out briefly this morning, about 8:30 A.M.. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>10/29/98 Thursday 1:35 A.M. EST: I went to bed yesterday morning at about 8 A.M.. Around 3 P.M. yesterday afternoon, a friend called from Rosrath, Germany where he is living with his girlfriend Inga. I put up a page of the friend Chris Parizo chris.htm , since today is his 25th birthday. The photos were taken about a year ago before he departed Greenwich for Florida and then onto Germany. He told me that while visiting Florida this summer he drove down to Key West with Inga to see what it was like for a day. From my experience it takes more than a day to enjoy Key West. Well the Chris we all knew around Greenwich takes great pride in having a birthday near Halloween, and he is probably getting ready to celebrate Halloween. Any of his friends thinking of calling him, I was advised by MCI, it is $1.25 a minute all the time to call Germany. Chris told me he drew a comic book with Bill Clinton in it pushing the Nuclear button. I reassured him it was not quite that bad over here, and it was pretty dang quiet from my perspective. He sounds his usual upbeat self, and he is still tutoring in Germany. I suppose they have had a few extra Crows show up in the area, but they seem to follow him around for some peculiar reason, like the Ravens Never Leaving the Tower of London. Well for any of Chris' deja vue friends, he seems to be alive and well and doing well. I will write him a letter shortly. He does not have access to the internet, but his girl friend's brother has access to it. Well try to stay in touch with Chris, and at least send him a post card. In other news I went back to sleep until about 8 P.M.. I had breakfast earlier at 4 P.M. of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cappacinno. After I cleaned up, I went out in the rain about 9 P.M.. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice, and the entire length also. I chatted with a young couple about Florence, Italy 26 years ago. They told me somebody was singing opera in DaVinci's Restaurant. I returned home and posted Chris's page chris.htm . I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well back to the old computer to write a letter, and do some net work. CIO

I then went by the Greenwich Library and read the usual three computer weeklies. I went down by Steamboat Road, and noticed the large house to the east of the pier was lit up for the first time in about three years. I returned to the lower part of Greenwich Avenue and walked the lower area, and chatted with some locals. I had a White Owl panatella at the post office. I walked the lower avenue again. I returned home about 9:45 P.M.. I broiled a boneless shell steak, steamed green beans and brocolli, nuked a potatoe, along with ice tea and cappacinno. I updated this report. The weather is mid to lower 50s. The skies are overcast, so it is not time for the harvest moon yet.

Note:<888>10/25/98 Sunday 9:15 P.M. EST: I went downtown about 6 P.M. after having some Ramen noodles and Soy Sauce. I walked around downtown and for about two hours for a little fresh air. I bought a three pack of buy two get one free of Merit Ultimas Lites for $6. I chatted with a few locals around town. It feels good to get a little exercise on the warmer evenings. There were still quite a few people out on a Sunday evening. Reading the News Stories about the Russians shutting down the cities in Siberia and the artic and letting the tens of millions there relocate for the winter, got me to thinking. Since the ice breakers are not working and there is not enough fuel. I suppose the Russians had to let their entire fleet go to sea, since no sane naval officer would leave his fleet bottled up. Thus local coast watchers around the world will have to keep a sharp eye out for the Russian armada. I was wondering if the have any ships named "Black Eagle". Also it will be interesting to see what tourist destinations they choose on their cruises during the colder weather. Of course this is all conjecture based on deductive reasoning, but it would seem logical if the frozen north of Russia were going to be blocked in indefinitely for the whole winter, they would move the fleet to warmer waters and cruise. Let's wait and see what happens. I had a Garcia Vega lite cavandish whif in front of the post office. I chatted with one German Sheperd walker about interesting dogs I have walked. I left downtown about 8 P.M. and drove down Steamboat Road and the kids were out fishing. I stopped by the Food Emporium on the way home, and bought a gallon of goldfish crackers for $4.99, a half gallon of Tropicana Orange Juice for $1.79, a five pound bag of Jack Frost sugar for $1.69 for a total of $8.47. I noticed the Food Emporium butcher now sells aged beef. He also told me that they buy bluefish that is caught locally and that bluefish is more expensive than Salmon. I told him that my landlady in Nantucket used to cook deboned whole bluefish filled with Hellmans mayonaise and fresh dill at about 350 degrees for as I recall about 40 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil. The mayonaise would remove some of the oily taste, and the fresh dill added a little flavor. I also told him I heard about somebody in Tennessee whom I believe soaked whole Christmas hams in Jack Daniels and slow smoked them with hickory wood for an enjoyable treat. I also told him Smithfield Smoked Hams like they serve in the Sir Walter Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg are very good eating hams. I also told him about the hickory smoked barbeque we use to enjoy on the north side of Decatur, Alabama before we moved here in 1961. Thus real hickory smoked barbeque is quite an enjoyable treat alternative to Texas Mesquite smoked barbeque. I must be getting hungry since I have not eaten much since midnight when I started today, maybe I will have another bowl of Ramen noodles and soy sauce. I have plenty of food, I am just trying to watch my weight, since as winter sets in one tends to get more sedantary, and put on weight anyway. Well it was a very enjoyable day, and remember a lot of the original NASA group at the Redstone Arsenal in the old days use to enjoy eating lots of hickory smoked pork and chicken at the barbeque place outside of Decatur, Alabama. You can't drink alcohol there, since it is a dry county. One thing yankees have not been able to copy, since they don't have lots of hickory wood; but they have tried. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/25/98 Sunday 4:15 P.M. EST: I slept from 8 A.M. to 10 A.M.. I chatted with a family member. I went downtown at 10 A.M.. I stopped by CVS and bought four Garcia Vega English Corona cigars for $3.99. I drove down by the harbor on Steamboat Road and quite a few people were there. I drove over to Tod's Point and walked the entire perimeter of Tod's Point 3 miles. There was a large crowd there enjoying the warm day. I stopped by Stables on the way back and toured the store. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and it was packed full of people. I went by the Greenwich Library and it was also packed full of people. I drove down by Steamboat Road and it was still busy. I drove by Grass Island and viewed the blue horizon with a few clouds. I noticed the 23rd Canadian License Plate I have seen since I returned from Canada 15 years ago. It was a beautiful day, but I am a little tired, so I will go to bed shortly. CIO

Note:<888>10/25/98 Sunday 7:20 A.M. EST: I went out at 4 A.M.. There was one fisherman down on Steamboat Road with a Scottsdale GMC. He had caught one blue fish. I checked out the skyline, and it looks like another clear day. I picked up a disgarded Macintosh Two Page Monochrome monitor at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club dumping area, and dropped it off at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I walked the lower area of Greenwich Avenue. I had a Diego Garcia Cavandish Whiff at the Post Office Bench. I returned home and read four computer publications. It is cooler out, and I will be avoiding spending much time out in the cooler weather because my arthritis tends to bother me when I am outside for more than a half hour. Well enjoy your morning. I am having Ramen noodles with Soy Sauce shortly. CIO

I was thinking this morning that any New York State or National Politicians seeking office should check out the Valhalla Dam in Valhalla, New York to see how the masonry is holding up after all these years. Well I have done my Sunday chores. I will do laundry tomorrow morning probably, and I still have two jugs of ice tea. I have cleaned up, and, I might go out for a stroll in a little while.

Note:<888>10/23/98 Friday 10:00 P.M. EDT: I was went to bed about 8 A.M. this morning. I was awaken about 2 P.M. by a telemarketering call offering me a free trip to Somalia. I was awaken again about 4 P.M. by a friend who had car trouble up in Norwalk. I left at 4:30 P.M. and by the time I got up to exit 40 in Norwalk on the Merritt Parkway, it took about an hour arriving about 5:30 P.M.. Apparently my friend's Volvo which is a 1977 Yellow Volvo 244 DL with about 130,000 miles was having trouble with the thermostat, and it was leaking coolant. Also he had been having trouble with the timing. He had done a tuneup himself and might have messed up on installing a spark plug or cap and rotor. Anyway since he has a second car, and he does not feel like putting any more money into the 1977 Yellow Volvo, he decided to have it towed to La Joy's Junk yard in South Norwalk. He transfered the cars contents to my car. He left the car at the Shell Station on the Northwest corner of Exit 40 on the Merrit Parkway, at old Route 7, not the new Route 7. I suspose some enterprizing mechanic could get it from him for next to nothing. He still owns it until he signs the title over for it. He had put in about $3,000 into the car over the last five years and 80,000 miles he drove the car. He wishes he had bought the used Volvo at Peabody's a month ago. After I dropped him off at his room in Redding, I drove down Route 58. I noticed a beautiful farm stand with lots of pumpkins and other fall harvest products on the east side of Route 58 halfway down from Redding to the Merrit Parkway. About 3/4 ths of the way down from Redding to the Merrit Parkway, I saw a for sale sign in the window of about a Yellow 1985 Volvo Wagon with 102,000 miles for at a garage on the west side of the road, several miles north of the parkway. I got on the Merrit Parkway and took Route 102 South from New Canaan to CompUSA in Norwalk. They have a large inventory of Clearence Items particularly CPUs and Monitors. I noticed a HP 15 inch monitor for $99, IBM Aptiva 15 inch monitors $129, IBM Apativa 17" Monitor for $249, however these clearence items are not that good of a price, since you can't return them if something is wrong. I also noticed CompUSA sells a new 17 inch monitor of their own brand name for $299. There was not much new that I saw. I chatted with a few customers and employees. I returned back to Greenwich. The whole trip on Friday afternoon and evening the highways on the Merrit Parkway and I 95 and US 1 were like Mad Max in traffic. I put $13.30 of premium in my car at the Exxon station next to the library. I gave directions to a fellow from Philadelphia on how to find King Street, he was driving a GMC with a diamond stud in his left ear. I went into the Grand Union and bough two Shell Steaks at $2.99 a pound for $4.54, a half gallon of GU whole milk for $1.78, four Tony's Supreme Pizzas at $3 apiece for $11.98 for a total $18.30. I told the Express checker from Russia about the Moscow choir that was here last Friday night at the Second Congregational Church. I returned home and cooked a Tony's Supreme Pizza and ate it with ice tea, and just finished a cup of Cappacinno. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . I will clean up shortly and try to relax for a while. Good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/23/98 Friday 2:00 A.M. EDT:Heritage: Hubble Heritage Project: Imaging . I went to bed at 9 A.M. yesterday morning and awoke at 1 P.M.. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down by the harbor and studied the horizon. I have noticed for the last month that the typical cloud formations are different for this area, and since there is no news of major events; I think it is safe to assume that the different cloud formations are caused by the El Nina weather pattern. They look like smokey Cumulus Clouds like one would see after a major volcanic erruption, but they also look like snow clouds with a lots of moisture. Thus when it gets colder sooner, there might be quite a bit of snow. I have seen individuals from the colder north country showing up in the area, like they are expecting a colder winter. Since the U.S. Government spends $50 billion a year on weather information, it would be interesting to find a long term weather forecast, but I have not found one. The cloud formations look like what one sees when you drive through the upper midwest and and northwest. It is really hard to tell. I advised one local to worry if you see artic Snow Geese showing up in our local parks. Last time I saw an artic snow goose in this area, we had 14 snowfalls that winter including one 4.5 foot snowfall, but that was the year after Mount Penatobo errupted. Maybe I have been looking at the computer so long, I have forgotten the usual weather patterns, but for all I know nobody else seems to be noticing any change in the normal cloud formation weather patterns. I remember in the reports after a major volcanic erruption, the volcanic clouds have an orange tinge, but as far as the reports on the internet; there are no reports of any major volcanic activity. I suppose I could go out to an airport and gossip with some pilots they might know something. Well for now, we have to accept the status quo as far the weather is concerned. Today I went by the library also and read PC Week and the local newspaper. I chatted with a local ornathologist about certain phenomina in the area. I think maybe since I am so focused on technology, I might be missing out on something that might be reported in National Geographic or Smithsonian or Audubon magazine. Well it is hard to tell, and one can't read all sources of information. I returned home and a guest came by to visit for a short spell. I chatted until about 7 P.M. and went to bed until midnight. I got up and had a Tony's supreme pizza, ice tea, and cappacinno. I will do a little internet work. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , and I will probably be on a night schedule for a while depending on my sleeping pattern. CIO

I chatted with a few of the Avenue locals. I went by the library and read the Greenwich Times and the two computer weeklies. I mentioned to the music librarian that the University of California at Santa Cruz has a large audio archive, and I believe a local radio station has a million record archive. I checked out a book "The Mafia, CIA & George Bush" by Pete Brewton, which I probably won't have time to read. It is probably one of those books written when George Bush use to frequent the Palm Beach Bath and Tennis Club and was very tanned, and everyone percieved him to be a tanned hispanic, and nobody seemed to recognize him. I guess people whom go south and tan darkly have a hard time being recognized by pale people whom only visit for a week or two. I believe in Florida, they call them Cammelians. After going to the library I drove down on Steamboat Road and chatted with two local fishermen. One was from the Spanish Portugese border area, and he had worked on a fishing boat off of Newfoundland. I chatted with him briefly about traveling through Spain and the Canary Islands. I noticed a group of "Old Guard" seniors were having a meeting in the east room of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I suppose they were plotting "Americas Cup Strategy". I noticed one youth come down by the waterfront to observe the horizon. Many people whom live and work around the waterfront, like surveying the horizon in the evening or night, like navigators. The clouds were covering the sky until about 10 P.M., but right now it is clear out. I returned home and I broiled a boneless center cut pork chop about 1 1/4 inch thick, I did one side six minutes with garlic powder and pepper on that side, and on the other side I put the same garlic powder and pepper, and added Bournier French mustard and chopped garlic for seven minutes, and I also had steamed brocolli, and baked potatoes along with ice tea. I made another cup of cappaccinno and went outside in the cool evening air and drank it along with smoking a Garcia and Vega Cavandish whif. I came back inside to the warmth about 73 degrees inside, and updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . It was a good day for Microsoft and IBM, but the overall portfolio did not do much. Well back to net. Have a good morning. CIO
