Note:<888>11/14/99 Sunday 10:20 P.M. EDT: I was up finally about 5 P.M.. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I chatted with a few family members. I fiddled with my registry settings from SpeedGuide.net and looked at Cable Modems & xDSL Registry Tweaks and also Cable Modems & xDSL - Advanced Registry Editing and I used their recommendations for Windows 98, but checking my MTU with pinging, the @Home server has a MTU of 1460 which I set my MTU settings to and thus an MSS of 1420. The cable modem seems to be working faster, and at this busy time of night I am getting 1 megabyte a second instead of .5 megabyte a second, so I would say the settings they recommend along with the correct MTU and MSS setting make a difference. I am not able to use www.dialpad.com on Sunday evenings at the moment since it is busy and some weekday evenings. However when I am on an earlier schedule and also during the morning it should be available. I guess it depends on the number of Foreign users. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/14/99 Sunday 7:00 A.M. EDT: I also put cinnemon in the Oat Meal cookies. I went out after the last message, and I contemplated the waterfront in the peaceful serene morning hours for about an hour. I noticed it will be a cloudy day, when I came in at first light, it almost looked like snow clouds. I returned up to the Avenue, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by the train station and they have it opened in the morning. I noticed a few people heading to the restaurant across the street from the train station. I noticed a weird car from Florida with a University of Vermont sticker, so it must be a reverse snow bird, I guess we would call the person a pelican. Well I walked back up the Avenue, and I stopped by the news stands across from Figaro and viewed the magazines. I returned back to my car, and I stopped by the train station and I chatted with one of the workers from Omnifitness waiting to start work on the new store. I returned home, just now and sampled one of the oatmeal cookies and they taste pretty good with a glass of ice tea. I guess I will try to go to bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/14/99 Sunday 4:15 A.M. EDT: I noticed an obscure note in history as I was doing my reflections of past events. I believe Prince Charles heir to the throne of Great Britain and the future head of the Commonwealth is celebrating his 51st birthday today having been born on November 14, 1948. I guess he will be seeing the trooping of the Horse Parade today and other events as recorded on the BBC since the Queen and the Prime Minister are out of England for the Commonwealth Meeting. Well Happy Birthday Your Grace. CIO

Note:<888>11/14/99 Sunday 3:20 A.M. EDT: Well I went out for some fresh air after the last message. I drove down by the waterfront, and it was quiet. I drove over to CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza and I bought a carton of Phillie cigar cigarettes for $14.19 less a .25 coupon plus .84 CT. tax for $14.78 total. The carton also has ten .25 off coupons on the packs which I will use later. I thought about buying CVS Italian seasoning, oregano, and basil bottles; but the store was out of them. I might find them on Greenwich Avenue at the CVS store there. I returned back to town and I parked downtown, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. It was a quiet night. I drove back down by the waterfront, and then I returned home. I then used the recipie on the Grand Union old fashioned oatmeal container and made 30 oatmeal cookies. Instead of using a cup of brown sugar and a half cup of sugar, I just used a cup of regular sugar. I also use 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder instead of a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and I also used a cup of chopped walnuts. I put about Tablespoon balls instead of teaspoon balls on each of the two greased baking trays containing 15 each. Since they were larger balls of cookie doe, I cooked each tray in each of the convection microwave ovens for about 22 minutes each at 350 degrees farenheit. I then set out each tray to cool about 45 minutes, and I then put fifteen oatmeal walnut cookies in each of two Danish cookie tins for munching on during the next number of days or so. One should not eat too many of them since each cookie contains 1/30 of a cup of sugar. I also used "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" for shortening in the recipie. An I greased the cookie sheets with Canola oil. Well it helps to keep busy during the winter evenings. At the moment it is 38 degrees Farenheit outside. Well have a good morning, I guess I will do a little internet work. I have several days of email to sift through. CIO

Note:<888>11/13/99 Saturday 10:45 P.M. EDT: Well I finished cleaning the apartment and watering the plants. I listened to a bit of BBC while doing it. I had a meal of pork stew I made last night, ice tea and coffee. I cleaned up, and I guess I will go out for a bit of fresh air shortly. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>11/13/99 Saturday 3:55 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 2:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of Cheerios, toast, vitamins, orange juice and coffee. I tried making a telephone call but no one was there. Sprint has called me up the last two days trying to sell me long distance, and I politely keep asking them not to call me back. I will now start my house cleaning routine. Have an enjoyable afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>11/13/99 Saturday 3:30 A.M. EDT: I went out about 10 P.M., and I parked downtown. I explored the Mitchell's Construction site. I ran into another exercise walker. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and we walked west on the Post Road and back down Indian Field Road and west on Elm Street. I noticed they were doing some construction on West Elm Street. We chatted a while, and I bid "Adieu". I walked down the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again, so I got a good walk. I sat out at the Post Office plaza for a while. I drove down on Steamboat Road and there was a box in road by the closed Greenwich Harbor Inn, so I moved it off the road. I noticed there are some disgarded wing back chairs in the construction dumpster at the Greenwich Harbor Inn that look to be in good shape. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned back through town. It was a very quiet evening since it was cooler. I stopped by the Shell Station and bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $2. I returned home and I had some ice tea, and I finished up the Danish cookies. I relaxed a bit this morning and did not do any computer work. I guess tommorrow when I awake it is another Saturday house cleaning day. Well I am getting a bit tired, so I guess I will try to get some sleep. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/12/99 Friday 9:10 P.M. EDT: I went out and test the phone. It works fine in the upstairs hallway, not in the elevator, in the laundry room, not in the community room, outside in front of the building, by the east side entrance, halfway out to the family units, weakly by the back bench overlooking the baseball field, by first, second, and third base, not on the far side of the building by the community room, or along the Post Road side of the building, but it does work very well in front parking lot of the building. I then came upstairs about 7:30 A.M., and I diced the four boneless center cut pork chops and five strips of bacon and browned them in olive oil. I put a few tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of the Revere soup pot and I drained the brown meat and put it in the bottom on the soup pot. I turned it on medium high and added a half cup of white wine and a cup of milk. I then cleaned a whole bulb of garlic and pureed it with the Braun handblender in a quarter cup of white wine and added it to the pot. I added a large can of crushed tomatoes. I peeled and diced five medium onions, and added them. I turned the heat down to about medium and let it all simmer. I added another cup of milk, a stick of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", and another quarter cup of white wine. While it was simmering I added garlice powder, Italian spices, Basil, Oregano, Five Bay Leaves, Cinnemon, Chinese Five Spice, Hungarian Pepperica, Ground Black Pepper, Celery Salt, tabasco, Lea and Perrins Worstershire sauce, Angostora Terriaki sauce, Angostora Bitters and mixed it in. After about a half hour I peeled and diced five medium potatoes and added them along with a diced head of brocolli. I stirred it adding a half of bag of maceronni soup noodles. After another half hour, I added two cans of mushrooms stems and pieces and proceeded to simmer it another half hour until the potatoes and brocolli pieces are soft. In about five to ten minutes once the potatoe pieces are soft enough, it should be ready for dinner. I will have it for dinner with ice tea, and refrigerate part and freeze the rest. Then I will have a cup of coffee and after I clean up I will go out for a breat of fresh air a little before 11 P.M.. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>11/12/99 Friday 6:15 P.M. EDT: I was up at 1 P.M. today. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I did a little internet work. I set the presets on my new Radio Shack phone. I chatted with a couple of family member on www.dialpad.com . I did a bit of system tweaking. I have not cleaned up yet. The new Radio Shack phone should be charged up now. I think I will go out and check out how works outside and in the hallways of my building. It is suppose to have a 700 foot range, but I have florescent lights and aluminum studs in the buidling which might interfere. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>11/12/99 Friday 5:25 A.M. EDT: I noticed it was about 80 degrees in the apartment, so I turned the temperature down about 1 A.M.. Some Arab must lived downstairs or something. I went out at about 2 A.M.. I drove down by the waterfront and it was quiet. I parked in the center of town, and I then walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed the work crew was at OmniFitness working on their new showroom. I walked back up the Avenue and sat for a while. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue and viewed the Sotheby's Real Estate office monitor. They have lots of Real Estate for sale in Rhode Island. I sat out for a brief spell at the top of the Avenue. I then walked down the Avenue, and I sat out for a bit more. About 3:30 A.M., I drove back down by the waterfront and then I returned home. I relax a bit and I had a cup of Sleep Time herbal tea. Well I am tired, so I think I will go to bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/12/99 Friday 12:25 A.M. EDT: Well I actually had a Red Baron Pepperoni pizza for dinner. After dinner, I decided to clean my old Faberware Convection over with oven cleaner. So I took a while to clean it with over cleaner. I then took down the book case on the bureau in the kitchen and put it in the bathroom along the left wall when you come in along with the kitchen storeage items in it. I stacked the two Faberware Convection ovens on top of themselves putting the newer one on the bottom and the older one on top. I serated them a little further apart by supporting the legs with CVS spice bottle caps. I also connected them to an outlet with a heavy duty orange utility cord along with the toaster oven. Thus I have two convection ovens set up in the small kitchen along with the GE microwave and the regular GE oven. I also turned off the circuit breaker for the bathroom heater which the bookcase is in front of along with having it turned off at the unit. I never use the heat in the bathroom since it is too expensive. I just let the heat flow in from the rest of the apartment. I rearrange a number of smaller kitchen items to complete the setup. I am steeping a another batch of icetea.htm which should be ready in a half hour. The new Radio shack phone is charged up enough to try. It sounds fine. Both telephone spliters I bought off the clearence table were for two line phones, so they did not work. Thus I disconnected the red phone which would be redundant now. I also disconnected the NOMAD 4000 and 4400 cordless phones since their batteries are down, and that could cause problems until I replace them. I will also replace the GE cordless phone battery at the same time when I have funds. You can't do everytime at the same time. Tomorrow night I will try to make a stew with the center cup pork chops, idaho potatoes, fresh brocolli, onions, and garlic which should be tasty for the next few days. Well not much else to report, I will set the presets on the new phone in the day time so I don't wake anyone at night trying to set the presets. Really not much to report. Well I guess I will do a little internet work. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/11/99 Thursday 7:50 P.M. EDT: Well I was up this morning until about 8 A.M.. I chatted with a friend about 7 A.M.. I went to bed and was up at 1 P.M.. I had breakfast of Post Raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I cleaned up and I made it to my 3 P.M. appointment. I then stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I then drove down by the waterfront and noticed a few fishermen were out. I then went over to ELDC thrift shop and I bought a like new Faberware Turbo Air Convection Oven for $10 plus .60 tax to replace my same model one that was getting older but still works fine. I then went to Staples and checked out cordless phones and I only bougth a 3M Post It pad for my Post It note holder for .27 from the Clearence Center. I then went to Radio Shack in Cos Cob and I bought on sale from $69.99 to $39.99 the Radio Sahck 900 MHz Cordless Phone in Graphite Color "43-1108 Graphite", and I paid $39.99 plus $2.40 CT. tax for $42.39 total. I think it is a good buy since it is the latest 900 MHz technology that might have a range up to 700 feet depending on conditions. It also works with a one plug headset you can buy there for $20. It is featured in this week's advertising promotion. I then returned home, and I installed the new Faberware Oven, and I guess I will put the old one out by the dumpster. It needs a little cleaning but works fine. I then set up the new Radio Shack Phone to the right of the computer. It takes 24 hours for the batteries to charge up before one can use it. It has quite a number of features. I fiddles with the telephone line splitters behind my control panel to make it the first phone on the split. I also noticed one of my new splitters did not work, so I replaced it with another one I had. I read the instructions for it. I will set up the speed dials once I have it charged tomorrow. They suggest to discharge the phone once a month and recharge it to keep it more fully charged. I am now cooking a Tony's Pepperoni Pizza in the new Farerware oven to make sure it works before I dump the old one out. Well after coffee and pizza and ice tea, I guess I will go out for some fresh air. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>11/11/99 Thursday 5:20 A.M. EDT: I am bushed time for bed. I still have not gotten around to eating much I had about a half dozen Danish cookies and a dill pickle. I suppose I could have some Ramen noodles, but I think I will try to save them until the end of the month. I guess with the E Coli scare more people will be living on Carbohydrates. Well not much else to report from this neck of the woods. I suppose if you're sort of bored, you could check out the media where your friends and relatives live for a diversity. I sometime look at scotwork.htm to see what the other side of the pond is gossiping about. Well no news is good news, so I suppose we will keep the camp fires burning for now. I am amused that so many dwell on making money, and if they were smart enough to make money, it constantly confuses me that they don't work on more scholarly achievements, unless of course they have some sort of paranoia about running out of money and don't know how to improvise. A common way to communicate if you don't have the internet or can't afford a long distance telephone is to mail a letter with whatever first class postage costs. I think it is about 32 cents an ounce. Well have a good morning, and I am bowing out. CIO

Note:<888>11/11/99 Thursday 12:50 A.M. EDT: I was up at 8 A.M. this morning, and I had breakfast of Kellogg's raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I made a few phone calls checking with people about what was going on. The new telephone number for the White House Secret Service Intelligence IP control center is:1-202-406-5988, and they handle computer matters. I got some more rest until about 2 A.M., and I munched on some Danish cookies and ice tea and showered and cleaned up. I went out and toured the festive display activities at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I noticed they have a bolt of heavy Clerence House type fabric 3.5 yards by 5 feet for $35 not half yet. It is not big enough to throw over my sofa. To cover it properly I think I need about eight yards by five feet to ten yards by five feet, and then I could lay it across lenght wise in two sections. Of course if one had a drape cover over the sofa, it might hang against the electric radiator which might be a fire hazard unless one pulled out the sofa another foot or so. I chatted with a couple of the volonteers about seeing the Vienna Boy's Choir in my travels along with the Lepisand Stallions in the old days, and I mentioned that the Vienna New Years Cottilion they throw every year might be the proper party to attend for the Year 2000 festivies, since I guess they would do it up right in the old world tradition if one did mind waltzing. I suppose some people here locally have been invited or can afford to be patrons. I then drove over to the Greenwich Library and read three computer news weeklies and the local paper. I chatted with a couple of regular patrons. I noticed it was quite busy. I checked out "A History of London" by Stephen Inwood and "Inside the White House" by Betty Boyd Caroli for my current conversation books. I don't know if I will have time to read them or not. I then headed down Greenwich Avenue, and I parked downtown, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by St. Moritz bakery and I bought a blueberry muffin for a $1 and they gave me a second for free since they were closing. I walked up to the Post Office Plaza and ate one blueberry muffin. I chatted with a local who introduced me to a Candian couple. I chatted a little Canadian gossip. I then headed to CVS on the Avenue looking for bargains. I then walked back down the Avenue. I then headed over to the Port Chester shopping plaza. I toured Jimbo's but I did not find anything I needed. I went by the the Appliance store next to the rear entrance of Staples, and I viewed their new General Electric appliances. They have a Stainless Steel General Electric refrigerator with Culligan Water cooler for $2,200 at warehouse prices. I toured Staples, and they have a 24X Creative computer CD player in the Clearence center with cables in the box for $20. I noticed you can get the Fortune Brands Scotch tape holder for $3 that is made by Swingline and is weighted and the Scotch Tape in a half inch roll costs about $1.50. I decided to hold off on the purchase. I then toured Pergament, and they have a General Electric inexpensive phone with cord not cordless for $13. I then toured Odd Job, and they advertise $3 bottles of Kosher Dill pickles for $1, but they were out of them. I noticed they have the $70 Uniden cordless phone onsale for $40. I then returned back to Staples since they use the lower back entrance after 6 P.M. now, and they don't have any General Electric cordless phones there like I bought at Caldors before for $25. I decided not to get the CDrom player for the bedroom computer, since I though it would not work, but then I figured it would work since I put in my ACER 24 X cdrom into it and it worked. I then went to the Vitamin Mart and I bought 300 Capsules of 500 Mg deoderized garlic for $10.17 with tax. I returned back downtown, and I chatted with a Hosptial employee on his way to work. I then headed back to the car, and I fetched my umbrella, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I then ate the second blueberry muffin in front of the senior center. I walked around the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again. It started to get quiet, so I returned home about 11 P.M.. I then relaxed a bit. I have not eaten yet, but I am still trying to lose a bit of weight. I noticed the Barnes and Noble bookstore have both the Reagan and Bush books, but I have not seen them in the library yet. I returned home, and I remembered I have a $3 Red "Star Fifty" phone stored in the closet, so I hooked it up next to the computer to make it easier to answer the phone. I did not see any rechargable batteries for the two AT&T rechargable Nomad 4000 phones, I still have; but one still works, but one seems like it needs a new battery. I have never used them very much, since frequently they caused problem along with the red phone when I tried using a telephone modem for years, but since I use a cable modem now it does not matter. I still have not eaten, and I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. I suppose I could have a snack of some Ramen noodles instead of eating a heavy meal. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/10/99 Wednesday 12:05 A.M. EDT: Well I had a dill pickle and reheated mash potatoes and walnuts and jelly beans for my late evening meal about 10 P.M.. I guess I will throw out the rest of the Purdue chicken since it is a week old. I sort of drifted off into a trance this evening, so I guess I am tired; so I will go to bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/09/99 Tuesday 8:50 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message, and I stopped by down by the waterfront and a few of the usual fishermen were still there on a warmer day. I made my 4 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper. I stopped by Peabody's garage to see if they have any General Motors station wagons, but alas they only seem to have tiny foreign cars. I chatted with the garage proprieter about the Chicago Marathon and all the old foreign cars one use to find around Great Lake Naval Station in the old days, when the young recruits were allowed to return home from duty with their foreign automobiles. I noticed on the internet that Queen Elizabeth II went back down to South Africa to pick up more of diamonds. I returned home and I chatted with a neighbor. I chatted with a former Greenwich resident living further east in the state. I guess not much is happening. I hear a bit more air traffic than normal, so I guess the local business community is up and traveling a bit more today. I guess they have to keep up their frequent flier miles irregardless of conservation. I have a feeling a lot of the local business community are like Sea Captains in the old days with a ship in every port leading diverse and secret lives when they travel. Perhaps they're all a bunch of polygomist Mormons trying to befriend the mostly protestant town of Greenwich. Who know for sure what it is all about, but since the local women control the financial infrastructure of this town, it is more than likely if the traveling business public is up to mischef, they will find their line of credit and American Express Cards cancelled. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>11/09/99 Tuesday 1:45 P.M. EDT: I fixed some links in first1.htm and incorpoated them into download.htm . Well time to start cleaning up and get outside. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>11/09/99 Tuesday 12:50 P.M. EDT: I was up at 11 A.M.. I had breakfast of Cheerios, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I have a 4 P.M. appointment this afternoon. It is suppose to be a warm day out, so I guess I will get out and enjoy the day after I clean up. Latest temperature check from my outside thermometer is 64 degrees Fareneheit. Well I suppose on a day schedule, it might be slightly busier that on a night schedule. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>11/09/99 Tuesday 4:05 A.M. EDT: Well I sifted through my email. I had some reheated mashed potatoes and a dill pickle slice for a bed time snack. Well not much happening in Greenwich. I guess everyone went down to Barbados early for the Big Year 2000 Party they are having down there. On a minor note, the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop will be offering their Christmas collection this starting this Wednesday opening at 8:30 A.M. and closing I believe at 4 A.M.. Well keep a sharp eye out for any unusal Audubon siting during the next two warms days. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>11/09/99 Tuesday 2:20 A.M. EDT: I had a peanut butter sandwich and ice tea a little before midnight. I went out for some fresh air. I drove down by the waterfront and one fisherman was there. I went for a walk on lower Greenwich Avenue. I noticed they have started putting out the holiday lights on the trees in the middle section of the Avenue. I see they have a heavy lifting craine putting up the steel structure for the new Mitchell's Department store. They have the steel going up in the northwest corner of the project and the craine is at the southwest corner. I guess that is why they filled in that section since it is more stable for the craine. I noticed a new store going in next to the train station entrance Omni Fitness Home and Commercial Fitness Equipment for office types whom don't get enough exercise. I notice there was an orange in front of the Korean market and two latter passerbys noticed a rat on the street in that vicinity. One of them tried to chase it. I read in this week's Greenwich Post that persons unknown have placed green rat poison pellets around the Green, and that eight dogs have been poisoned and it is a threat to the youngster whom play soccer on the nearby field and the youngster whom use the recreational facilities in that area. I suppose somebody should check the other parks to see if similar occurrences are type of poison has been placed. I returned back home and I read the Greenwich Post. I noticed they are still working on construction at the old West Putnam Avenue post office site, but the sign does not say what is going to be there. Not a lot to report. Well I will check my email and I guess go to bed. The next two days are suppose to be warm. CIO

Note:<888>11/08/99 Monday 11:10 P.M. EDT: I went to bed about 3 A.M. last night, and I was up at 9 A.M.. I started a tape backup that failed before going to bed. I restarted it when I got up. I worked on the tape drive problem for quite a while until about noon. I finally decided it was a "Video Driver" problem. I reinstalled the Video Drivers from the CDrom that came with my mother board instead of the Windows 98 Update drivers. I also lowered the Video property from 24 bit True Color to to 16 bit High Color while I made the backup. I started a C: drive backup, and then I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, coffee, vitamins, and orange juice. I sat up for a while, and then I took a nap until 4:30 P.M.. The C: drive tape backup worked successfully, so I started a E: drive backup saving space on the tape, so as to only use one tape by not backing up a number of music files and other outdated files. I watched the ABC evening news at 6:30 P.M., and I then had dinner of cold slice chicken breast with tabasco sauce, reheated mash potatoes, steamed frozen brocolli, ice tea and coffee. I showered and cleaned up. About 7:30 P.M., the E: drive backup was finished, so I started a D: drive backup. I went out and I stopped by CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought a 24 roll bundle of Charmin toilet paper for $5.50, Gellette Series saving gel $1.99, two bags of Jelly beans .99 each, and a tin of Danish butter cookies for $1.99 plus CT. sales tax of .57 for $12.03 total. I then drove down by the harbor and a few people were there fishing. I nexted drove up to the Post Road and I drove over to Staples in Old Greenwich. I toured the store, and they have four clearence areas. They have software in one clearence area by the entrance at the left, the have office clearence items in the far right of the store, they have software and electronic items in the far left of the store, and they had a clearence table in front of the cash register. I combed through all four areas, and I eventually bought a number of inexpensive items from the Clearence table in front of the cash register. I bought a Post It note holder for $2, a Belkin 6 foot gold shielded LPT printer cable for $3.99, a package of Post It notes for .50, a Belkin Erricson Mobile Power Cord for a mobil telephone for .50, 25 foot telephone extension cord for $1 and two telephone two way splitters for $1 each, two pairs of Stockwell Bulldog clips for .25 a pair, a Liquid Paper all purpose correction pen for .25, a ten sheet pack of Avery Business Cards for the laser printer .50, and a Oxford laserview portfolio for $1 plua .74 Ct. sales tax for $12.98 total. then left the store shortly after closing at 9 P.M., and I went over to CVS at the Riverside shopping plaza, and I bought a a carton of Swisser little cigars for $14.19 and a General Electric socket dimmer on clearence for $5.24 plus $1.17 Ct. sales tax for $20.60. I then headed back to town, and I stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought two half gallons of Sealtest fresh orange juice for $2.50 each, GU 2% half gallon $1.95, five cans of Georgio mushroom stems and pieces for $2 all, "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Lite" $1.29, GU dozen large eggs $1.29, 2 GU Old Fashioned Oat Meal $1.19 each, a carton of Parmalat 2% milk $1.55, a head of brocolli for .89, 4 bags of four cup bags of Sun Diamond Walnuts on sale for $1.50 each, a pound of Early Morning bacon $1.50, and four center cut boneless pork chops at $3.49 a pound for $3.80 for $27.85 total. I then returned home, and I put away my purchases. I put the General Electric socket dimmer in the small lamp when one enters the apartment by the Blue sofa and behind the Queen Anne chair, so one can lower the light and use it for a night light or dim room light or turn it up brighter and use it for a reading light. It is a pretty cleaver item and saves one from having to buy expensive low voltage light bulbs. I restarted my internet server, and the computer is running great with the tweaks that I did. I had some ice tea. Well I guess I will do a litte internet work. Have a good morning. I have a 4 P.M. appointment tomorrow. CIO

Note:<888>11/08/99 Monday 2:45 A.M. EDT: Well I finished the laundry. I noticed the elevator in our building does not work. I updated Greenwich, Connecticut Links Scott's Internet Hotlist with links from Local Non-Profit Organizations in Greenwich . I noticed in the British Press the Prince Edward is traveling to New York. I have to incorporate the updates on the Greenwich page into the downloadable directory. Then I will shut down the server and start a tape backup and go to bed. Well have a good morning. CIO
