I put the pot in a cereal bowl in the living room window where the Sunbeam fan was.

In that period at www.rockefeller.edu , at the cafeteria in the basement of the high rise building on the campus, a cup of yogurt was 65 cents, an apple was 50 cents, and a cup container of milk was about 45 cents, so one could have a meal for less than $2. I visited Barbara Rockefeller's town house two or three times with Fred. Adam Ginowasky lived with her, and he was a fellow at Rockefeller University with a grant from the Federal government to study marijuana. He had some private government location, where they grew the marijuana, and sometimes one would see people using marijuana on the roof top garden underneath the willow tree. Of course in the post hippie days of America, marijuana was still around. I did not use marijuana except a few times to try it out. My preferred indulgence was bourbon and ginger ale or a beer. In Europe, I got used to drinking wine, and when I returned to America, I started drinking Almaden Mountain White Chablis which I would mix with soda water and a lime for a spritzer. A bourbon and ginger ale would give me a hang over, so I changed to vodka and tonic with a lime. I was not a regular drinker or a heavy drinker, since a beer or an alcoholic drink cost about $2 which was very expensive. Cigarettes were $1.29 a package at the numerous India kiosks around the city. CIO

12/15/15 Tuesday 2:15 A.M.. I woke up at 1 A.M.. I moved the HP LaserJet P1102w wireless laser printer to on top of the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance connected to the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. The HP driver disk set it up on both USB and Wireless without any problem. It might be because the Dell Laptop is 64 bit.

I put the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wireless laser printer on the printer table in front of the old Gigabyte computer, so it is available for the computers in that area, once the drivers are installed. There is an application for installing wireless for wireless devices, but I don't need that right now other than the Acer Cloud Book, it did not work on. I will now rest for a while. CIO

I guess times are bad in Key West too, since they had to quit operating their web cams http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ . When I once went to the Salvation Army in Key West for food, they only gave me a can of corn, which was not very much food. I later applied for and got food stamps in 1979, when I was spending the winter at Daytona Beach. I think I got $56 a month in food stamps. I had enough food stamps left, when I came back north that spring, I spent $20 of the food stamps at Bonjournos for a standing rib prime roast which my relative's boy friend enjoyed. Before food stamps in Daytona Beach, we would eat a four ounce can of tomato paste watered down with spaghetti noodles, so things are not better in Florida. CIO

Although when there is a bit of traffic, people think this area is busy, with all of the traffic that moves through this area, it does not mean that downtown in necessarily busy particularly from an economic viewpoint. Despite the warmer weather this fall, some of the movers and shakers are probably down in Florida and other warmer areas of the country, since they have already invested in those area. I guess with the lower prices of oil, some of the oil people are a bit financially strapped. Nobody communicates too much with me, so I guess they prefer their ivy league network of friends and associates compared to someone with a college education from www.lfc.edu in the grass roots of America. Lake Forest, Illinois is an upscale community on Chicago's north shore, but it tends to be a lot colder out there. When I went to college there, my family was living in Weston, Massachusetts to the west of Boston, so I was use to colder weather. When I returned back east around January 1973, I did not think the New York City area was too cold compared to the Chicago deep freeze. However, as one gets older, one tends to like a quieter lifestyle compared to the chaos of nearby Manhattan, where a lot of people travel around in endless circles trying to get their daily business accomplished, whatever that might be. Basically as everyone knows in Chicago, they have about 10 months of winter and 2 months of summer. Sweaters are very popular in Chicago. CIO

It took about 3.5 hours to restore. I rested until 4 A.M.. I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. Once the restore was complete, I was able to boot into the same configuration. I speeded it up by running the Norton Utilities and defragmenting the Maxtor drive. I stored away the old Dell SATA 249 GB drive which probably has more usage on it as the original system drive. I also took off the TrendNet USB LAN, and I have the system connected to the motherboard LAN. I am now working the Dell 760 mini PC that I want to tweak some more.

In the old days in Manhattan, back from 1980 to 1982, when I lived with Cyrus Vance's head of work processing in his law firm, I enjoyed walking the white German Shepard around the children's zoo in Central Park where the white German Shepard seemed to get along with the white polar bear named "Scandia". In February 1982, it was down to minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit below zero in Manhattan, and when my roommate had me move out with no place to stay, I stayed with somebody on the east side above a church who was from Hollywood, Florida, and when he had to go down to St. Bart's for an assignment, I flew down to Key West with the $100 that my roommate had given me, but it was so crowded down there, and when I ran out of people to mooch off of, I was left sleeping on the beach at the Clarence Higgs Park on the north side of the Casa Marina, where I got sun burned. The police officer that arrested me said I was a "Nazi" because I was wearing Bosch and Lomb sun glasses that I had bought at Rockefeller Center for $86, so I guess the Rockefellers are Nazis. I was trying to sleep on the little brick ledge outside the fence of Fort Mallory. I chatted with a local youth about John James Audubon, so maybe he turned me in. Thus I have never been back to Key West, since then because if they did not like me when I pretended to be poor with no friends, they probably would not like some of my more established friends. I saw my friend who was a Dupont family member down there working as a dog walker in Manhattan, so he never got ahead in life either. CIO

There was one car loitering down there. It looks perfectly normal down there. Now all of the Holiday lights are lighted up on the trees on Greenwich Avenue. I think they are suppose to have the reindeer at McArdle McMillan, but I am not sure if that has happened yet.

I will now eat a 19 ounce Stauffer's meat and tomato lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk.
