Note:<888>12/07/99 Tuesday 10:00 P.M. EDT: I was up at 2 P.M. this afternoon. I had breakfast of Cheerios, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I fiddled with the computer for a while. I decided to return the Creative Lab and USB ports to CompUSA. I stopped by and returned a gallon of Texaco anti freeze to CVS also. I returned the items to CompUSA and recieved a gift certificate for them when there is something I need there. I browsed the store merchandise until closing. They have lots of 900 mhz phones there, but I don't really need another telephone, if you know what I mean. Well time for dinner have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>12/07/99 Tuesday 3:30 A.M. EDT: Pearl Harbor Memorial Page and http://mrscott.com/pearlmem.txt . I went out after the last message, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I walked around the train station area. I noticed that a work locamotive was grinding the rails coming through the train station, I guess to give the trains a smoother ride. There was an avalanche of sparks coming out of the train grinder. I walked back uptown. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue. I sat out up there for a brief spell. I walked to the lower section again and I walked around the lower section again. I then drove down back down by the harbor at 2 P.M. and viewed Long Island sound. It had started to clear and one could see Long Island and the lights again. I then returned home and had some ice tea. Well have a good morning. I guess I will go to bed soon. CIO

Note:<888>12/06/99 Monday 11:10 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message, and I stopped by Odd Job and bought the last Rayovac Hard Rubber flash light for $1.99 and three packs of two C batteries for $1.59 double pack plus .46 NY tax for $7.22. I then went by Tropolldis appliance on the back side of the mall by Staples and they have the GE above range Microwave which need an exhaust outlet for $310. I then went to Staples and the Honeywell extra good air purifier in the clearence center is now down from $170 to $50. I then stopped by Pergament and bought auto lock deicer for $1.29 plus .09 NY tax for $1.38. I then drove over to Radio Shack and in Old Greenwich and they still don't have the 900 mhz phone for $20 yet. I noticed at Staples in Port Chester they have the Siemens 2.4 gigahertz cordless phone for $100. I then went by Staples in Old Greenwich and they have Siemens 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones there for over $200 a more advance model. I then went down by Steamboat Road and observed the sound for and checked my car lights. I got the Ship to Shore radio to get NOAA weather radio. You have to go up the channels to get it set right. I then went by the Grand Union and bought a dozen medium eggs for $1.29, a red pepper at $1.99 a pound for $1.17, Forell Raspberry Preserve .99, a green pepper at $1.49 a pound for .64, a pack of Fleishman's yeast for $1.69 for $5.78 total. I returned home, and I put the older new batteries in the flash light, and I now have a rechargable flashlight in the kitchen, one regular flash light on the speakers by the entrance, and a regular and a rechargable by the television in the bedroom, and the red flash light on the car door and another hard rubber on the right car seat. I also have six two packs of C Expire 2/2000 and 8/2004 half each for the short wave radio in an emergency. I think it take ten batteries. I then made Chinese pepper steaks, by heating a few teaspoons of olive oil in a WOK, dicing three gloves of garlic, and dicing three medium onions, and slicing the second shell steak and moving the fat and sauteeing them and then dicing the red and green pepper, and adding celery salt, pepper, garlic powder, cinnemon, Chinese Five Spice, basil, oregano, and Italian seasoning along with several pads of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, a can of mushrooms, a few dashes of Angostora Terriyaki sauce, and a 22 oz. can of crushed tomatoes and simmering it all in the Wok on medium for a half hour. I also made up two cups of water with a cup of white rice with the same herbs and spices which was done in fifteen minutes. It should all be done now, so I will have the Chinese pepper sauce mix on white herbal rice with ice tea, and then have coffee. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>12/06/99 Monday 6:20 P.M. EDT: I made $43.44 this past October and November off my internet advertising, so I guess it pays to keep the server going. I put the red flash light back in the car along with leaving the black rubber flash light there. I think I will go over to Odd Job in Port Chester now and get another one before I eat. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>12/06/99 Monday 5:55 P.M. EDT: I relaxed all day Sunday and did not go out. I chatted with a couple of family members. I just noticed that my web server was not running, so I guess I forgot to start it. I have the server running now. I had breakfast Sunday when I got up at 8 A.M. of Cheerios, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I went back to bed until about 5 P.M.. I got up and I munch on some walnuts and other items, I had in the apartment. I went to bed about 1 A.M. this morning. I was up at about 10 A.M. when my telephone rang four times this morning with anoying nusance calls. I suppose some telemarketing machine has broken. I set up the computer monitor web cam when I exited the apartment, and I went out. I noticed a familiar face walking into Outdoor Traders looking for sports ware. I went to the hospital thrift shop, and I bought a cookie cutter machine for $2.50. I went downtown and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue on a damp day. Lot of little tots were out. I stopped by the Senior Center and returned the computer cdrom on Saturday morning about 2 A.M.. I was told about that time the Senior Center had been broken into. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue for a while. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper. I have noticed that the books by Reagan and Bush are still not available in the library. Perhaps someone has checked them out. Well I guess I will have a steak for dinner in a little while. Have a good evening. By the way, there was no evidence of intrusion on my apartment when I returned, but the password feature of the web cam had been tampered with, so I would say we might have evidence of intrusion. Most mysterious. CIO

Note:<888>12/05/99 Sunday 6:15 A.M. EDT: I was up at 2 P.M. yesterday. I chatted with my neighbors. I had breakfast of three eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I relaxed a bit until about 8 P.M., and I was able to get up enough speed to do my house cleaning and watering the plants in about two hours. I feel a little bit zoomy. I suppose I might be using too much sugar. I had dinner about 11 P.M. of the Stauffer's Pot Roast dinner with green beans, ice tea, and coffee. I forgot to water a couple of plants, so while I was relaxing, I finished watering them. I guess the place is in order, so I relax most the rest of the morning, and I am a bit tired, so I will go back to sleep. With the Jewish Holiday and the Christian Sunday, it reminds me of what happened at Sun Rise in Perl Harbor on December 7, 1941. I suppose we should keep our guard up full force until we're sure about what is really going on. I am not fully briefed on current events and only know local events for the time being. I suppose volcanic activity in the northern hemishere in either Kamchatka or Alaska could have caused the very black clouds, I saw last time I was at Tod's Point, and possibly have caused the North Sea Hurricane. More than likely with the colder weather on the interior of Russia and Poland and other east block nations, they are possibly underneath a lot of snow at the moment. I have not had time to look at the weather satellite photographs for that reagion. Well I suppose for now I am dog tired, so I should try to get some sleep and get back to my normal relaxed schedule. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>12/04/99 Saturday 10:00 A.M. EDT: I went out at First Light and it was a Red Sky in the morning, I interpret that to mean "Red Sky Sailor, Take Warning". The message posted below is from my Swiss coastal observer in Denmark. I assume it is an open coded message from my International Federation of the Red Cross Representative in Grenna, Denmark. I interpret it to mean that the Russian Fourth Fleet Battle Group has sailed by the Jutland Pennisula to destinations unknown. I would advise all Red Cross personnel encountering such a Fleet action to keep the maximum distance away from it, if need be half way around the World in the most hidden destinations. I then continued on to CVS in Old Greenwich and bought a carton of Phillie Light cigar cigarettes for $14.19 plus .85 CT. sales tax for $15.04 total. I advised a Spanish speaking personnel to advise Spanish speaking personnel on Pan Am Satellite communications which 2.5 billion people listen to. I then headed over to ServiStar hardware store in Old Greenwich and they were not open yet. I then returned to downtown Greenwich and looked for the First Alert rechargable batteries, but they did not have it. I advised them of the same content. I then drove down by the waterfront and gave the same message to a high ranking United States Navy officer. I also advised a high ranking member of the nobility. I then headed over to Exxon and told a member of Trout Unlimited the same story. I put $14 of premium in the old Swedish Volvo. I then headed over to Port Chester to Feinstod's ServiStar and they have the First Alert rechagable flash light batteries for $5.99 each. I bought two for $11.98 plus .81 NY tax for $12.79 total. I then returned home and I chatted with a family member. I am terribly tired and have been awake 24 hours, so I will go to bed. I also put the new rechargable batteries in the First Alert rechagable flash lights, and saved the old ones for proper disposal. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>12/04/99 Saturday 6:40 A.M. EDT: Well I have been sitting around relaxing for most of the morning. I tried to fall asleep, but I could not. I guess since I am out of smokes, I will run over to CVS in Riverside all dirty and grubby and buy another carton of cigar cigarettes. Well not much to report from the quiet side of town. I recieved this note from an internet correspodent in Denmark.

Dear friend   I'm just writing this to let you know that I'm all right.   So far 4 dead from the hurricane that swept through Denmark today and caused major damage to roads, tree, bridges, houses and so on. Worst in the Southern part of Denmark, so my part of the country was not hit so bad as other parts.   The deaths was mostly caused by falling trees.   I haven't heard about any damage in Grenaa except one of my neighbours trees tilting and destroying a terrace. Also a lot Christmas decoration in town had fallend down but the hurricane is moving fast East so I think this is it for now. This is the worst weather conditions in my country ever.   People were encouraged to stay indoor from the afternoon Friday till Saturday morning, so they wouldn't be hit from flying tiles...   Though, since it wasn't that bad here I went to a concert tonight in Randers 60 kilometers from Grenaa with the Danish band Michael Learns to Rock. They made a great perfomance so it was worth the risk.   On the way to Randers I was supposed to cross a forest but I drove on smaller roads to avoid the falling trees. The wind was very bad but I managed to keep the car on the road. We went the same way back and there was a lot of twigs and boughs on the road but driving slowly we managed to get home safely. Though we had to pass a tilted tree on the road but there was just enough space for us to pass so we were lucky. The worst thing was that it started snowing right after we left from Randers so sometimes it was hard to see the road.   All bridges are closed and all ferries have stopped sailing. A lot of roads are closed because of tilted trees and trucks so police and rescue teams are extremely busy at the moment. Thousands of people are stranded on railroad stations and around 1000 people were trapped in the trains as they tried to cross the tunnel between the islands as a freight train blocked the way. Some had to sit in darkness in the tunnel for more than an hour. I'm glad it wasn't me.... Some of the small islands are completely evacuated because of floods and some places people had to sit on the roof of their houses waiting for choppers to rescue them.   If roads are clear tomorrow morning I'll go to the Southern part of Denmark (Odense) to race some go-carts with my friends and after that we'll have a little party. I hope I won't have to cancel that.   That's all for now, just to give you some info about what's happening here and let you know that I'm ok.   Greetings from windy Denmark.       Your pal, Peter

Note:<888>12/04/99 Saturday 1:45 A.M. EDT: I can not remember when I awoke this morning, but I think it was around 10 A.M.. I had breakfast of cheerios, www.cheerios.com , toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I relaxed most of the day. I confired over conventional telephone with a few people. I had lunch about 3 P.M. of cheese sandwich, walnuts, apple pie, and ice tea. I rested until about 7 P.M.. I had dinner of the Stauffer's pot roast which I really like, must simpler than cooking a whole pot roast, ice tea, and coffee. I relaxed a bit more. For convenience in not stimulating too many brain cells anymore which are becoming fatigued, I decided to change my homepage for the indefinite future to default.htm and the same previous content is available from scotlist.htm . I am more of a reference librarian on the internet, and I would advise people if they are truly interested in any reference material to read more scholarly material. Well there are many libraries in the world which don't have the internet, but I am sure a few have some interesting books. Well have a good morning, I will continue to relax. Not much to report on. I might lose $20 a month from internet advertising by not displaying my web site, but sometimes $20 a month might be worth losing for a little peace and quiet. I am sure the local Chamber of Commerce won't mind, since they make money off people shopping in Greenwich not off the internet. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>12/03/99 Friday 4:35 A.M. EDT: I went back out at 9:30 P.M.. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue several times. I chatted with several local residents. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed a Guildas' milk truck at CVS with www.supercow.com on it. I chatted with the dairy deliveryman about the dairy business. I found a lost Microsoft CD from Works Suite 99 Disk 4 that I retrieved off the street in front of the senior center.

I bought a half gallon of whole milk for $1.79, a jar of Grandma's Molasses for $2.29, two Stauffer's pot roast dinners for $2.50 each, five cans of Savarin coffee for .99 each, a 18 oz. jar of Skippy honey roasted peanut butter for $1.79, and finally a 25 packet box of Twinnings Earl Grey Tea for $2.99 for $18.81 total. I noticed while out at the www.omnifitness.com construction site at the entrance to the Greenwich Train station, they are still clearing out asbestos and they don't have the proper environmental procautions. I also noticed the Grand Union was using the propane powered floor cleaner in the store which is very dangerous since it emits carbon monoxide poisoning. I advised one English couple on the matter. I returned home and put away my purchases. I had a peanut butter sandwich, two Clementines, and ice tea. I then installed the features from the Microsoft Works Suite 99 Valuepack that I found on Greenwich Avenue in front of the senior center. Well I suppose not much else is happening, and I am quite bushed, but I got a little exercise. Well have a good morning, and it is time for me to go to sleep. CIO

I then bought two little leather zipper change purses for $2 each from a gentleman from Turkey. He told me a half million lire in Turkey is a dollar, so I paid a million lire for two change purses. I then went and bought a British flag on a stick for $3 from a gal that did not also have a Dutch flag. I then went by Staples and bought a Swingline Scotch tape machine for $2.99 and a roll of half inch 3M scotch tape for $148 plus .30 NY tax for $4.77.

I returned home and I installed the USB card quickly and it installed quickly plug and play. I then installed the Creative WebCam 3 and it initally installed without any problems following the instructions and it works great particularly in the low light in my apartment. I had a problem, and I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. Basically I figured out when it does not load, one unplugs the Web Cams USB cable and restarts and shuts down the computer, so the USB drivers can load, and then restart it again with the WebCAM 3 USB cable pluged in, and it all starts up fine. I installed the software it came with and adjusted some settings. It seems to work fine. I put a three way bulb in the lamp behind the computer, so one can turn it up or down when using the Web Cam. I restarted the Apache Log for the first of the month. I have not eaten since breakfast, so I will have some peanuts and ice tea and go to bed now. I am very tired.
