In the periods that I lived in Manhattan, I learned there were hospitals on the East from 23rd Street to 79th Street. Also on the upper west side, there was Roosevelt Hospital and Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital and in Greenwich Village, there was St. Vincent's Hospital, and there was also the smaller Beekman Hospital downtown. Thus there are quite a few medical people awake at night in Manhattan, as if one did not know.
I will now go downtown and look for the black fox. CIO
04/15/23 Saturday 3:35 A.M.. When I first graduated from www.lakeforest.edu in the fall of 1972, I lived in Chicago next to a 40 story www.ibm.com building and across the street near the Medina Temple Masonic headquarters was a vacant lot with fifty American Red Cross ambulances. I later moved to 31 East Elm Street in Chicago, but I could not get a job, so I came back East. Also from November 1980 to February 1982, when I used Julie Bolton's apartment at 315 West 74th Street, it was near the American Red Cross headquarters in Manhattan which also had a lot of ambulances parked around it. One my last two friends that are still active are a doctor and a nurse that are American Red Cross volunteers living down South having once lived in Manhattan. They volunteered in a tent full of body parts after "911", and suggested that I set up my situation room which I did. The Bush family here in Greenwich got involved in working with the Rockefeller family during World War II in the American Red Cross. Also when I was in Athens, Greece in the Spring of 1972 with a relative of the wealthy political Harriman family, he introduced me to the head of the International Red Cross from Switzerland that he knew that was going to Viet Nam to negotiate the release of prisoners of war. Also Ernest Hemingway the famous writer was a Red Cross ambulance driver in the Spanish revolution in the 1930s. Also Julie Bolton was the wife of a State Department software engineer stationed in Libya, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. She worked as the head of word processing in Cyrus Vance's law firm at Madison Avenue and 57th Street, but I am not sure if it was Cyrus Vance the former Secretary of State in the Carter Administration of Cyrus Vance Jr. who is now the Head District Attorney in Manhattan.

04/14/23 Friday 11:05 P.M.. I went out, and I drank a brewed coffee. I washed the breakfast dishes. I went out to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a 42 ounce Smart Balance spread for $9.69 and a five gallon bottle of Primo Filtered water with bottle return for $6.99 for $16.68 total. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue to the Board of Education Veterans Monument Parking lot, and I sat out for a while enjoying the red and yellow tulips which are out in bloom. I noticed this morning at the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park where the new coffee shop is going in two doors north of the park, they are also applying for a liquor permit at the new coffee shop. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop multigrain English muffins for $2.99, a four pack of 8 ounce sugar free Chaboni strawberry yogurt for $4, and two 13 ounce Marie Callender Mac and Cheese bowls for $3 each for $12.99 total. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart to bring up the 42 pound bottle of water, and I put the other food away. I then put the grey bag and the cart back in the car, and I drank a brewed coffee outside. I filed this report. I will now go outside again to bay at the moon. CIO
04/14/23 Friday 8:25 P.M.. I woke up, and I ate an apple turnover. I finally woke up at 7:30 A.M.. I made my bed. I went outside. I picked up the mail.

04/14/23 Friday 8:40 A.M.. I drove downtown to the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park, and I sat out for a long time. At www.cvs.com , I bought a Daisy banana muffin for $1.99.

I then returned home. I filed this report. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a yogurt. I will then go to bed. CIO
04/14/23 Friday 6:20 A.M.. Nobody in morning on Greenwich Avenue likes to network with night owls from the night before. I guess they are all venturing out on their first cup of coffee, when I just now had my fifth cup of coffee. It sort of makes me wander how many people are awake at night and in the early morning hours. CitiBank used to advertise the City New sleeps, and there are a million people awake at night in nearby Manhattan doing whatever they do. I suppose a lot of the night people are involved in maintenance, when the City is less busy. In the basement of the Seagram's Building on the north side of CitiBank, there used to be the French Coffee shop, the Brasserie, where at 4 A.M., one could see the Night Shift ending their day. I also would see the Foreign Currency Traders from CitiBank on their lunch breaks when they are trading around the world. I never noticed too much activity at night down on Wall Street though. I never covered the bright lights of Broadway in Times Square. Since Greenwich Village had younger students around www.nyu.edu , some of them would be awake at night and in the Early Morning Hours. I did learn some of the NYU students worked at Astor Place nearby processing American Express Credit Cards, so they could follow famous people in their travels around the World. The New York City Parking bureau used to be also at Astor Place. Back around 1973, the famous hotel at Astor Place where the Union Pacific Railroad Contract was signed collapsed from the vibrations of the underground subway running near it. I will now go downtown and hang out to see if anyone wants to add their two cents. CIO

04/08/23 Saturday 2:25 A.M.. There is always something to do in the "situation room" is one does not watch internet video all night and early morning hours.
I have been doing this for so long, I sometimes wander what else that I could have done. Still I figure the younger generation have been around these devices most of their life, so they have their own sub culture. In the old days out on www.nantucket.net during the non tourist time, they used to make a bit of money making Light Ship baskets where the term "Underwater Basket Weaving" came from. I guess most Americans travel so much in their work careers today that nobody networks with people they once knew and left behind. Since I have a common name, nobody has ever networked with me on the internet since I got on the internet in 1992 with Netcom. I guess there is a regimented structure with professional computer people, where they do not network with independent computer people. Perhaps, since my family is from the Hinterlands in the Midwest, the overly educated East Coast techies do not share my same viewpoints. I did once work in Cambridge, Massachusetts next to www.mit.edu and www.harvard.edu as a research photographer at Polaroid, but in the summer of 1971, I learned to program with COBOL from www.ibm.com manuals that I was able to write a spread sheet with which had to be written on wide spread sheets that were entered into punch cards and fed into a IBM 360 main frame computer that Polaroid probably leased from IBM. It was interesting, but when I got back from Europe in June 1972 and came to Manhattan around the first of 1973, my computer skills were not needed, and I was only around fashion photography people trying to make a living doing test exposures with Polaroid film before using better film to make the final exposures. Polaroid did make a 4 inch by 5 inch instant positive and negative film that worked with a graphlex camera back to make high resolutions murals which I think Ansel Adams used for some of his photography.

I moved the bent oak chair from the near end of the oak dining table to underneath Dell computer setup on the left side of the primary work computer. From the Dell computer setup on the left side of the primary work computer, I moved the smaller mahogany chair to underneath the near end of the oak dining table. I moved some of the smaller items around both chairs around. I put the two seltzer bottles in the hallway, and I put the waste paper container on top of the air purifier in the hallway. I moved the pink cushion from the kitchen chair to the bent oak chair, and I put a thicker cushion on the kitchen chair. Thus there is a bit more room to move around the primary work computer and the Dell setup to its left.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.
I have done the best on my situation room with my meager disability income since I started working with personal computers around September 1989. I guess there is not much time for me to be a "Wharf Rat" anymore. Sometimes this time of year, when it warms up, we get rich people sailing north by our waterfront.

On the Dell Optiplex 790 setup with Windows 10 Professional with the Microsoft Office Suite on the left side of the primary work computer, I moved the 21 inch AOC monitor from behind it on top of the Ricoh color laser printer to on top of the Dell unit. I removed the printer stand, and I moved to the Dell laser printer to behind it on top of the Ricoh color laser printer. Since it a tight fit sitting on its chair, it probably is only for smaller people. Still with the Microsoft Suite I put on it, it is a very good setup.

I guess with the large Jewish population in Greenwich, there are probably not many people downtown at the moment. My Uncle Larry Anderson in Texas who was a fourth generation Texan kept it secret that he was Jewish, since his mother was from one of the wealthiest Jewish Osborne family in America. The Osborne family started the Illinois Central Railroad with money they made trading with the Philippines, and my Uncle Larry's nephew with the last name Osborne was once the President of the Northern Trust Bank.

In short summary on the National Political Situation, Helen Clay Frick lived in Bedford, New York where former President Donald Trump has an estate. Also when President Biden first got into politics he paid a visit to W. Averill Harriman at his Georgetown Town House, so maybe those two old wealthy families are playing both ends against the middle. In the book on W. Averill Harriman, it says that everything he did in politics, the Rockefeller did not want to get involved in. That is pretty much my view point from the poor side of town. CIO

03/31/23 Friday 10:50 P.M.. I was just thinking during the last ice age fifty thousand years ago, with a lot of the Planet Earth's water in ice up North, we know the oceans were much lower, so possibly the Canary Islands extended up further out of the Atlantic Ocean or were even connected to the continent of Africa or maybe even Europe. Who knows maybe Volcanic Activity made the Planet Earth colder. I know there were Norwegians in the Canary Islands during the Ice Age. Canary Islands word from the Latin word Cannis which means "Dog", so they were called the Isles of Dogs, when rediscovered again, since there were a lot of dogs or similar animals on the islands. Somebody should look at a satellite photo see what the Canary Islands really look like with out water around them. Maybe they were Atlantis, but most people think it was Santa Turini in the Mediterranean Sea which erupted about five thousand years ago. I have read that Northern Africa where the Sahara Desert is was once a fertile plain, so maybe volcanic eruptions in the Canary Islands turned it into a desert. Nobody ever communicates with me on any of my theories, so maybe somebody in the Eastern Hemisphere knows more.

I noticed in the Acme grocery store this morning they have two or three copies of the salmon colored Financial Times of London https://www.ft.com/ . One of my former neighbors on Steamboat Road used to read the Financial Times, and he was an Economist also. Before the Bank collapse twenty years ago, he recommended Platinum Futures, which went up when the Banks collapsed. He also read https://www.barrons.com/ , and his investments did well, and he moved to Belle Haven before he passed away a few years ago. Of course a European education in Economics might be better in Europe. One of his former country associates however happens to be the wealthiest person in the world, but I am not sure he was in connection or not. CIO

03/30/23 Thursday 2:45 P.M.. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. As far as I can remember, the only two jobs I have ever had in Greenwich, Connecticut was when I was sixteen years old in the summer, I helped frame a house on Baldwin Farms South for $5 an hour for my family which cost $85,000 to build on two acres. Also in June 1973, when my family moved back to Greenwich from Weston, Massachusetts, I got a job at Boodles as a waiter across from the Greenwich Library which was owned by somebody from R.J. Reynolds and a race car driver, but I lost that job in October 1973, when the stock market crashed, when Nelson Rockefeller blocked all of the oil tankers in New York Harbor from off loading oil, so there was an oil shortage. I guess he had that much influence. When I ventured back into Manhattan, I met Fred Von Mierers at Le Jardin discothèque with all of his jet set friends, and the following day, he was pictured shaking hands in the society column of the Daily News with Nelson Rockefeller, so until February 1975, I tried to keep an eye out on Fred's neighborhood at 420 East 49th Street. In that period Citicorp built a new fifty story office building at Third Avenue around 50th Street, but Fred banked at the Chemical Bank across the street from the British consulate, so I knew he had a bit of money from his father's dry cleaning business in Brooklyn.

03/30/23 Thursday 1:05 P.M.. Back when gasoline was $5 a gallon about fifteen years ago, there were a whole lot of used GMCs and Chevrolet Suburbans for sale on Route 7 up around Wilton, Connecticut. Thomas Watson III and Patty Hearst and Nasdaq are all in Wilton, so they can afford to strut their stuff.
I will now go outside again. CIO
03/30/23 Thursday 12:05 P.M.. I went to the www.chase.com Bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I got a roll of quarters for $10. I chatted with somebody from Wilton, and they told me about https://www.devanchevybuick.com which sells big Secret Service type vehicles. I drove down to the Senior and the Arts Center, and I sat out for a half hour. I viewed www.starbucks.com . I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought a Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I lost. I sat out some more. I spent 75 cents parking on Greenwich Avenue. I then went to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a 42 ounce Smart Balance spread for $9.69. When I get the new air frier, I will be able to cook fish and chips which I like. I then returned home. I put the Smart Balance spread in the refrigerator, and I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. I filed this report. I will now go outside again. I do not trust using too much of the electronic communications in America, since it always eves dropped upon by nefarious individuals. I prefer chatted with people directly based on what I know which might be more. CIO

I will put it on top of the stainless steel cart in the kitchen. Dishwashers from www.nantucket.net know a thing or two about cooking even though they are basically slave labor and not paid very much. I also used to cover the South Shore of Nantucket which is a nice Sandy Beach where John Kerry hides out with Bill Heinz's money. There used to be a railroad on the south shore of Nantucket, but the tides washed it away. Sandy beaches change with the tides. CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 6:05 P.M.. I channel surfed. I then went outside again. When I first arrived back in Greenwich from www.nantucket.net on December 13, 1983 on the Aga Khan's birthday, when he was living here as the High Commissioner of Refugees at the United Nations, they found me a welfare attic room at 100 Milbank Avenue across from the Observatory for $240 a month and gave me $200 a month welfare to live on, since I was disabled. I used the Greenwich Library every day, and I could eat dinner at the old Greenwich Hospital for $2 a meal which were very good meals. For breakfast I would walk to the Greenwich Food Market on Greenwich Avenue and buy a quart of Columbo vanilla yogurt and a quart of orange juice. Next to my rental room with shared bath was Spyros Scorros' chauffeur. Thus until June 1984, when I moved to 700 Steamboat Road way out of town, I spent a lot of time downtown, and for two months, when I moved out 100 Milbank Avenue, I lived in a room on a second floor apartment at Greenwich Avenue and Grigg on the northwest corner above the movie theatre, where I saw a lot of people downtown. That is now the location of the www.apple.com Computer store. I even volunteered for two years at the computer consignment shop on Grigg Street, when I bought an Apple 2E computer from a tag sale on Round Hill Road for $100 from somebody from Belgium that worked for J.P. Morgan on September 1989, and my mother even bought me a used I 386 tower computer there for a thousand dollars at the consignment shop about 1990. Thus the computers never lead to work, but it has kept me busy. I even typed out on my 100 page memoir on a Smith Corona electric type writer that I bought used for $40 from Olive Watson at the Round Hill Church thrift shop. I took typing around 1965 for summer school on an IBM Selectric at Eastern Middle Summer School, and I sat next to Mike Morano who was a Greenwich Country Day classmate and son of the man that the bridge that fell down when I was out on Nantucket on April 1983 was named after. I also recall seeing some Greenwich Country Day classmates on Nantucket and Lake Forest College classmates and Taft School classmates. CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 3:25 P.M.. I went out to Whole Foods on East Putnam Avenue, and I bought a five pound bag of organic Russet potatoes for $2.99. I then drove down to the Senior and the Arts Center, and I paid a dollar in quarters to park for an hour sitting outside. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. I then went to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a 48 ounce container of Silk vanilla almond milk for $4. They now have five gallon bottles of Primo Vermont Spring water there. I then returned home. I put away my purchases. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. I filed this report. I will now go outside again. CIO
03/29/23 Wednesday 12:35 P.M.. I went outside again. I will now go downtown to Green Witch Avenue to forage around. I guess Greenwich, Connecticut is named after Greenwich Village which is named after Greenwich, England where the Royal Naval Hospital is located. I guess the British in sailing the seven seas are not use to getting too much sun, so they have to pale out, when they get back to Jolly Old England. They used to say in Florida, the Swedes tan so dark, when they get back up North, they will have a hard time getting a drink a Georgia. I used to know a few life guards, and the last time I was in Key West in February 1982, when I got fourth degree sun burn, I met the head of dermatology at www.columbia.edu , and he told me to stay out of the sun. I also met a friend of Senator Lowell Weicker who was a former neighbor in Greenwich which friend was a former www.navy.mil medic , and he gave me some medication to kill the sun burn. I have been out in the sun a few times in my life, but about 25 years ago, Dr. Conners the dermatologist here in Greenwich told me I should not go out in the sun until after 3 P.M. in the afternoon. CIO
03/29/23 Wednesday 11:45 A.M.. I am about to eat a 12.5 ounce Boston Market Barbecue hamburger meal with a medium large baked potato with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. CIO
03/29/23 Wednesday 11:35 A.M.. I went outside again. I finished updating the Acer laptop. I left it on top of the two other laptop computers on the right side of the oak dining table. In the old days, when my family did not have the two oak leaves in the oak table, we thought we were knights of the Round Table. Not it slightly oval. We bought it at the United House Wreckers back around 1963, when we had a large kitchen in back country Greenwich. CIO

03/29/23 Wednesday 8:35 A.M.. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. From the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet, I took out the Acer laptop that I bought from Microsoft three or four years ago at Christmas time for $300. I later put in a SSD drive to make it faster, and I have it upgraded to Windows 11. I also have a licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2019 on it. I am now charging it up, and I am installing the Windows 11 Updates and the Norton Internet Security 360 updates on it. Once it is all updated, I will put it on the laptop stack on the stainless steel cart. On the lower right of the stainless steel cart, I have a Asus 15.6 inch Chromebook and a 11.6 inch Samsung Chromebook. In my "Situation Room", I have to keep updating and maintaining my computer equipment. My rich American Red Cross friends that worked in a tent full of body parts after "911" suggested that I setup an office after "911" in case anything similar happens in this area. At the moment in the past week they have crossed the Atlantic on a cruise ship and arrive in South Hampton, England this Saturday after having part of their cruise stops cancelled because of rioting in Europe and North Africa. They want to take the train from England to France, which may not happen. One of them does speak French though. The wife is on the Board of Trustees of Barnard College up at www.columbia.edu , and she knows Martha Stewart, so she is well connected with the women in Manhattan and at the United Nations. They even used to have a retired www.cia.gov friend in Greenwich who used to live across the street from the Greenwich High School. He has a medical degree from www.yale.edu and is also a psychiatrist and is an expert of Iroquit poisoning which a lot of people suffer from on the East Coast of America. He is also related to Skikorsky the helicopter family from Connecticut, so they constantly travel the World. They once came out here from Manhattan with a Saudi Arabian woman who was not too impressed with my old Volvo wagon and Tod's Point. United Technologies in Connecticut was bought by Raytheon, and they have a lot of defense manufacturing down in Georgia, where they now live off the coast of Georgia in Sea Island, Georgia where some of the www.coke.com people also live. They told me ship loads of expensive foreign automobiles also arrive in the port in Brunswick, Georgia where they volunteer inspecting ships that come and go. They also volunteer at the old R.J. Reynolds's plantation helping to restore slave cabins, when not busy with other local affairs down South. I guess Ted Turner and his Southern spies have their eyes on them a lot of time. They do not own televisions, but she networks with British women's literary book groups off her Chomebook. He likes listening to Conservative radio stations. He also has a son in England. The wife has two children on of whom is a Pediatric Surgeon living in Hawaii, so they definitely have very good American Red Cross connections, and the wife also has worked as a "Big Apple" greeter in Manhattan showing new residents around Manhattan. She also worked for Nelson Rockefeller on his political campaigns.

With www.ibm.com Big Blue nearby in Armonk, New York; there are so many computer tech people around here, nobody bothers networking with anyone in Greenwich. I do know there are big thick optic fiber cables running up Round Hill Road in back country, and over a decade ago, when we had hurricane Sandy, I saw a ten foot diameter satellite dish on a truck driving down Greenwich Avenue.

03/27/23 Monday 6:00 A.M.. At the far end of the oak dining table on the lower right HP I 5 desktop, I installed the latest Windows 11 beta Canary 30324. I now have to configure it. It is available in the beta link below. I installed it Rufus style, so it works on the older computer.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
03/27/23 Monday 4:35 A.M.. I went out to www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue, I bought two https://www.cvs.com/shop/super-beta-advanced-dietary-supplement-60ct-prodid-390416 for $39.99 each less 25% discount with a previous purchase coupon for $63.98 total. I then drove down the deserted Greenwich Avenue except the street cleaner as far as www.starbucks.com and back uptown my usual way. I then went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $20 of self service premium gasoline for $4.399 a gallon for 4.549 gallons at odometer reading of 123941 miles for 63.7 miles driven since Thursday March 9, 2023 for 14.004 miles per gallon in local traffic. I then returned home. I saw a young fawn at the driveway entrance. I put away my purchase. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. I filed this report.
!!!!!! On can created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows 11 beta 25300 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?rfs=1 , and I used this procedure for Windows 11 on an older PC, Windows 11 Rufus installed from USB Pen Drive I made a Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive with this method this https://rufus.ie/en/ to created a Windows 11 bootable USB pen drive for it to upgrade https://www.elevenforum.com/t/create-bootable-windows-11-iso-without-tpm-secure-boot-and-ram-requirements.1891/ I formatted the over 8 GB USB pen drive in NTFS, and I set Rufus to "MBR" selected and the second and third advanced options selected, also select options no TPM/no Secure boot. The different language versions of the Windows 11 *.iso download are here https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 thus for example if one wanted Windows 11 Professional in French download the *.iso file and make the Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive the same way. Once again the Complete PC backup does not work, but Aomei backup does work.

!!!!!! 03/27/23 Monday 2:50 A.M.. To make a bootable BSD drive, one downloads it here https://www.freebsd.org/ or this image https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-create-bootable-freebsd-usb-in-windows-for-freebsd-12-0-current-i386-20171213-r326820-disc1.63807/ and use this rufus method https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/28780/tool-to-create-bootable-freebsd-usb-flash-drives which one downloads from here https://rufus.ie/en/ . Once the bootable BSD USB pen drive is created in the computer bios under boot, one has to enable "UEFI" and then select the boot option USB UEFI when booting from the USB pen drive. It takes over a half hour to to boot the pen drive. However, BSD has a low level format utility to get rid of an old partition on the computer which is necessary when using the Aeomei backup restore utility on it to restore one's backup, if one has an Aeomei backup. Also if one does not have a Aeomei backup, one might need to run the low level format utility on the internal hard drive to permit installing Windows 11 new install from a pen drive which one can do by disabling UEFI in the bios and booting the Windows 11 USB pen drive. Of course different bios work differently.
However, this is how I was able to restore my Aeomei Windows 10 backup to a second desktop computer. CIO

03/25/23 Saturday 4:40 A.M.. I went outside again. I know a few things in this area that the Hearst California newspaper the https://www.greenwichtime.com/ sells over priced real estate. A lot of the older homes were not that well built. They can have problems with termites and carpenter ants eating away the foundations. A lot of them have asbestos in them which is a health problem. A lot of them have older electrical systems that are not up to today's codes. The older ones with iron pipes can have the inside of the iron pipes corroded, so there is not as much water pressure. Also older sewer systems can malfunction. Also due to the harsher weather conditions in this area, roofs can deteriorate and leak. Also some of the older homes are not that well insulated. Also older heating and cooling systems with today's higher energy bills are not that efficient. So despite the interior decoration and recent paint jobs, they are over priced. Thus let the buyers beware. In the old days, I saw a lot of older homes at tag sales that cheaper older people were trying to maintain, and although they were in prestigious neighborhoods, they looked to be maintenance nightmares.

03/24/23 Friday 8:25 A.M.. I chatted with a friend with www.army.mil experience and very cold weather experience. One of the times I visited www.dartmouth.edu , I learned the United States Army had their cold weather studies project up there. Of course in the www.af.mil the Unites States Air Force and the Canadian Air Force used to have the DEW line up in Northern Canada, where it is minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I used to see some of their people in the Florida Keys coming out of Homestead Air Force Base thawing out after a few months up in the far North. Down in Key West, where some people have never been North, they used to call Greenwich, Connecticut Greenwich Village or Greenland, because to them it was awfully cold here in the winter particularly after Mount St. Helen's erupted on May 8, 1980, when in February 1982, it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, so further up North it was even colder. Thus Florida has been busier ever sense. I am no relation to Scott U.S.A., but maybe distant, and they are in Sun Valley, Idaho which is the ski resort the W. Averill Harriman developed with the Union Pacific Railroad.

03/24/23 Friday 6:55 A.M.. I went outside again. I moved the air purifier to the right side of the hallway bookcases. I moved the shoes rack from there to the right side of the oak dining table like it was before. I moved the www.apple.com Imac setup from the left side of the primary work setup to on top of the shoe rack like it was setup before. It all works just fine. I had to put two new AA alkaline batteries in its bluetooth wireless keyboard. Thus one can work on it from the Queen Anne chair at the hallway entrance. Its power turns on with the power strip behind the far end setup of the oak dining table which also turns on the LAN, but one still has to turn on the middle LAN to the right of the primary work computer setup.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. Sometimes sitting on an empty bench downtown in the morning is not worth it, one can get a bit of work done at home. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 5:05 A.M.. I know when we first moved to Greenwich is June 1962, my father had donated the awnings to the front porch of the Greenwich Country Club, but I am not sure what material they were made from. The Greenwich Country Club as one of the oldest Country Club's in America had a connection with Queen Victoria, and there used to be a golf trophy in its lobby dedicated to Queen Victoria around 1870 donated by the Spalding Sports Company. Greenwich has a lot of history. I do know a lot of the so called long term residents came here after World War II, when Greenwich was a hospital zone treating wounded veterans, and some stayed and prospered in the post war economy. The Greenwich Hospital was started by a member of President Harrison's family from Virginia too. Greenwich has always been a summer retreat, since the railroad was built out here. The first trans Atlantic radio broadcast has a memorial at Clapboard Ridge Road and North Street next to the old Frick mansion.
I will now go outside and drink a cup of coffee. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 4:55 A.M.. I went outside again. When I knew Fred Von Mierers, he was supposed to be taking over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business, and Fred was in partnership with the architect Taylor Sterling who also had a house on Mayfair Lane in Greenwich besides an apartment next to the Citicorp building in Manhattan. Since my father had worked for a division of Monsanto called Chemstrand which made Acrilan fiber used in expensive wall to wall carpeting that cost $100 a square yard and other synthetic materials https://interiordesignedu.org/acrilan/ , I figured the interior decorators could promote the carpet. I know my father was once in David Rockefeller's office at the www.chase.com Plaza on Wall Street trying to sell the carpet. Also Stillman Rockefeller here in Greenwich was on the board of directors of Monsanto as well as being the oldest alumnus of the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut; where his wife Nan Carnegie Rockefeller donated the Carnegie track and field house. However, that is all ancient history compared to reality today. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 4:00 A.M.. I will now do the most important thing the forsaken Dutch can do in America which is to water the apartment plants. One little daffodil plant is also blooming the woods here. A diseased family friend once surrounded his house on the island on the waterfront with daffodils. Also out on www.nantucket.net , when I was away around 1975, they planted a million daffodil bulbs on both sides of the road to Sconset. They used to have a daffodil parade out there too, but nobody gave me a ride to it after donating my car to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop. Also up here on North Street in Greenwich, Rene Anselmo the Spanish satellite guru planted a lot of daffodils on North Street between the North Street school and the St. Michael's Church. A friend that knows landscaping told me that one has to dig them up every year and plant them further apart or they will choke each other off. So much for Dutch gardening. When I knew Fred Von Mierers at 420 East 49th Street in Manhattan now the German Consulate in Manhattan, he claimed to be fourteenth generation Dutch New York, and some of the people he knew planted tulips on all of the islands on Park Avenue. One of the first people he introduced to me was a Van Rensler that used to own all of New York State, so there. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 3:15 A.M.. I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 2:55 A.M.. I went outside again. I am about to eat five 3/16th inch thick slices of cold eye round of beef with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, with a medium baked potato with Smart Balance spread, and a 7 ounce pouch of Green Giant microwave baby Brussels sprouts with butter sauce and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. CIO
03/24/23 Friday 2:20 A.M.. I put the NASA app on the other four Insignia Smart TVs in the apartment, so now all five Insignia Smart TVs have the NASA app on them. I am not sure if the two Vizio Smart TVs or the Hisense Smart TV support the NASA app. Also the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom window, and living room 32 inch Insignia TVs have the Roku devices on them which also support NASA TV. When I first moved to Decatur, Alabama from Pensacola, Florida in 1956 with my family we were 20 miles south of Huntsville, Alabama where the Redstone Arsenal was and now the Marshall Space Center and now the small Space Force in Huntsville, Alabama. When I lived in Key West, there were people from Cape Kennedy that had houses down there, and there was some sort of astronaut training going on down there. Back then the astronauts might have been smaller people than myself, since every pound of pay load in Space cost two million dollars a pound. So be nice to smaller people. There is a lot of money invested in them. Back in the old days in Manhattan, some of the computer people I was around liked listening to the song, "Short People." CIO
03/24/23 Friday 1:30 A.M.. One of my few friends in this area had his American Standard toilet crack after 15 years. I was told by a neighbor that if one pours hot water down a toilet, it can crack it with the cold water in it. It reminded my when I first met Frederick Von Mierers in October 1973, when he was working for Nelson Rockefeller; one of the people that he introduced me to was Richard Crane whose family had a big office building on Park Avenue near the Waldorf Astoria that owned https://www.craneplumbing.com/ that now own American Standard https://www.americanstandard-us.com/ and https://www.americanstandard-us.com/Toilets-list#Toilets . The Crane family also have one of the biggest summer houses in Massachusetts. Locally back around 1975, when the Briggs family in Greenwich owned American Standard I learned, one can get their products in Elmsford, New York near Sams Club there used to be a large wholesale plumbing supply warehouse there, where I once bought a elongated yellow American Standard toilet seat for our old house in Greenwich on Cornelia Drive, which has sense been torn down. I think it was up the road on the left from Sams Club. Also back in 1973, I interviewed with a British Computer company in Elmsford, New York call, "Online Decisions" that made work station software. They even had word processor software back then. They even had an office at 666 Fifth Avenue near Rockefeller Center. How times have changed. When I first bought a personal computer back in September 1989, I tried to introduce myself at the www.ibm.com Watson Research laboratory nearby in Fishkill, New York, and they had a machine do a complete body scan of me, but they would not let me in, but they let in a lot of Europeans at the same time. With the myriads of IBM offices around here, there is even one on the back road by the State Park by the Rockefeller Estate in North Terrytown, New York; so possibly they have something to do with it.

Back at the Science fair at the Prudential Center in Boston in the Spring of 1977, I met a www.army.mil Major that looked like Ronald Reagan that tried to recruit me for the Army. I met a lawyer that lived on Beacon Hill, and afterwards, when I was crossing the Charles Street Bridge walking to Cambridge, I met a www.harvard.edu student that lived west of Kendal Square that put me up for the night. In morning, I tried to hitch hike out of Cambridge, and I made it to the Howard Johnson's there for a dollar bowl of oatmeal, and then I hitch hiked up to Stowe, Vermont for two weeks to clean up the owners of the Languedoc restaurant on Nantucket's Sister Kate's bar there. I had driven out of Key West in my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne dropping off Jimmy Eldert in Jacksonville to fly back to the University of New Hampshire after visiting Hurley Haywood there. I gave that car away on Nantucket to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop with a lot of my personal belongings, since there was no room to park it on the narrow street at 31 India Street, where I would be staying that summer. I think before that I did drive to the University of New Hampshire to see Jimmy, and we drove up to www.dartmouth.edu to check out the area. I also stayed with Jimmy at the Exeter Inn in nearby Exeter, New Hampshire and at the Wilder Motel near White River Junction, Vermont. I saw a lot of the University of New Hampshire students, and later without the car, I went to the Seabrook demonstration, and then hitch hiked down to Williamsburg, Virginia for a couple of days and then back to www.nantucket.net . However, I also hitchhiked to Bowden College, where a friend of Jimmy's on Nantucket attended, and I also was given a place to stay at the Portland, Maine Y.M.C.A. . I recall hitch hiking back from Stowe, Vermont, and visiting Manchester, New Hampshire where I found a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts, where I ate a bowl of oatmeal. Jimmy also put me up for the night at a girl friend's basement near the University of New Hampshire.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
03/22/23 Wednesday 6:15 A.M.. I ate a bowl of https://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/home.html and https://www.kelloggcompany.com/en_US/home.html raisin bran with almond milk. CIO

I then installed a new Bios Update, and one again when turning the power on and pressing the Escape key continually and when it beeps by pressing F10 Key and then password, I was able to enter bios, and set it to the Bios defaults.

03/22/23 Wednesday 1:45 A.M.. At the far end of the oak dining table the HP upper right desktop does not boot. When it displays the HP logo, it goes black. It has a video card, but the motherboard VGA does not work at all. My best guess is that it has been hacked through the LAN network. It works just fine, the last time I tested it. I updated Windows 11 on the HP desktop on the lower right, and it works just fine. I updated Windows 11 on the HP desktop on the lower left, but its color is a bit washed out. On the Dell Optiplex 790 on the upper left with the Windows 11 beta, it does work, but it seems to want to reboot, when one first starts it up.

03/21/23 Tuesday 6:15 A.M.. I checked out the Insignia 24 inch Smart TV in the kitchen. I added the apps for BBC America and GBNews. Also Sky News works just fine. I practiced speaking English, since nobody around here seems to know too much English. My mother spoke Dutch in Holland, Michigan until age 5, so I probably speak English with a Dutch accent. I only had five years of high school French, but I can not speak it as fast as the French do. I also had six years of high school Latin, so I can make a little bit of sense out of the Romance languages such as Italian and Spanish. When I was in Spain and the Canary Islands in the winter of 1972, I spoke French; and when I was around all of the Spanish speaking people in Florida in the 1970s, I also spoke French. Thus I ended up in French restaurants, and I guess the Spanish speaking people thought I was French. However, when in Europe; and I speak both French and English, they assume that I am Canadian since both those languages are spoken up in Canada. There were a lot of French Canadians in my travels around Florida in 1970s. Jacque Cousteau was even down in Key West, when I was there. People down South always assume that people whom speak another language besides English are Cuban, which with all of the tourists they get is not always the case. I once saw former King Juan Carlos of Spain in Key West with 200 body guards, and I noticed he liked smoking Camel unfiltered cigarettes. A friend of a relative whom owned Zebco Sports once told me he hunted with Juan Carlos in Spain. When I traveled down the Costa de Sol via train in the winter of 1972, it looked a lot like Florida. When I used Fred Von Mierers apartment at 420 East 49th Street in Manhattan from October 1973 to February 1975, he knew English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Farsi; so he could tell some of the foreign crafts people how to do their interior decorating skills. The last time I actually chatted with him around 1988 at his new apartment on East 54th Street, he was reading several hundred year old books in Chinese, so he also knew Chinese. He also preached religion from India on one of the first cable television channels in Manhattan. Thus I think he had some communication skills that other people might not have.

Today the St. Patrick's Day parade starts at the Greenwich Town Hall and runs down Greenwich Avenue at 2 P.M.. That usually means no place for anyone to go to the bathroom on Greenwich Avenue with all of the crowds of people that will be attending. I might be a little bit Irish. According to the two DNA tests I took, my mother's DNA comes out of Africa over fifty thousand years and goes to the Netherlands from where her relatives arrived in this country going to Holland, Michigan in 1842. However, my father's DNA comes out of Africa over fifty thousand years and goes to the Middle East, and then to India, and then to Northern Russia, and then to Northern Scandinavia, and then to Spain. However, according to the second DNA test, his DNA comes from Scotland and comes to this country in 1726. All I can figure out, maybe his ancestry is from the Spanish Armada that invaded Ireland, and from there his ancestors went to Scotland. Western Europe is not too big of an area, so people do move around over time.

I took some long train rides in Europe in the winter of 1972. I traveled from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France. From Grenoble, France I traveled to Barcelona, Spain two or three times. Once I had to spend a boring night in the Lyon, France train station. I also traveled from Barcelona to Malaga on the south coast of Spain. I also traveled from Seville to Madrid and Madrid to Florence, Italy. When I first arrived at the Barcelona train station, I exchanged money. I had to walked down a few blocks of a street with Machine Gunners on both sides of the street, but when I reached Ramblas, it was full of people walking around. I will now go outside and drink a cup of brewed coffee. I once knew somebody from Sao Paulo, Brazil whose grandfather owned 20 million acres of coffee plantation, and he was always wired on coffee. Like all coffee producing coffee, they probably have different types of coffee. I never figured out where the Brazilian consulate was in Manhattan, but there used to be a Brazilian restaurant on East 53rd Street just east of Third Avenue near the British consulate. Since I was only limited to English and five years of high school French, I am very limited in my International Communications.

I put them underneath the right front of the bed with the Dutch and the Saudi Arabian flags. I still have the big 49 star U.S.A. flag in that drawer. I bought that over thirty years ago for $5 from Mrs. Garland at the New Canaan Visiting Nurse thrift shop across the street from the New Canaan fire department. I still can not fine the large Swedish and the large www.af.mil flags. I could always order some, but it is not that important. I have a picture of a famous four star air force general in my bedroom that I bought for $15 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. One of my first neighbors in this building knew that Air Force general. I guess in my various travels only the Air Force was able to keep up with me for some odd reason. When I first started working with home computers in September 1989, I chatted about computers some time afterwards at the Tuscon bar in Greenwich with someone whom was supposed to be the son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations. Since he owned a $150,000 BMW, I figured it was true. I chatted about Digital computers which the following week Compaq computers bought, so there. Having grown up around a lot of Scottish people whom for better or worse might drink Scotch whisky, I might have learned a bit of a Scottish accent which is all that I can figure out.

To install the latest Windows 11 beta on an older non Windows 11 machine, one does this. First log into www.microsoft.com with one's user ID and Password. Then do this I downloaded the latest Windows 11 beta 25300 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?rfs=1 , and I used this procedure for Windows 11 on an older PC, Windows 11 Rufus installed from USB Pen Drive I made a Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive with this method this https://rufus.ie/en/ to created a Windows 11 bootable USB pen drive for it to upgrade https://www.elevenforum.com/t/create-bootable-windows-11-iso-without-tpm-secure-boot-and-ram-requirements.1891/ I formatted the over 8 GB USB pen drive in NTFS, and I set Rufus to "MBR" selected and the second and third advanced options selected, also select options no TPM/no Secure boot. The different language versions of the Windows 11 *.iso download are here https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 thus for example if one wanted Windows 11 Professional in French download the *.iso file and make the Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive the same way.

03/11/23 Saturday 3:25 P.M.. Back in Manhattan from October 1973 to February 1975, a slice of pizza at Ray's famous pizza at 7th Avenue and 9th Street was 59 cents. They also had another take out place around Lexington Avenue and 73rd Street, but I could never really afford it.

The Le Languedoc out on www.nantucket.net now has a pizza place on Steamboat Wharf. Back in Greenwich since December 1983, a couple of times I ate deep dish pizza on Greenwich Avenue across from the Greenwich Food Mart and a couple of time, and I also ate at Planet Pizza a couple of time, and once I bought a pizza from Entree Pizza and once I bought a pizza from Dominoes pizza in Cos Cob. I also ate pizza few times at Pizza Hut in Glenville section of town. When I was down in Key West, I knew Bob Russell, and he started Pizza Hut at all of the big ten universities, and he later sold it to Pepsi Cola, so he had money in Key West and ran a health resort with Rick Todd and Steve Bahl and a Saudi Arabian. I also once went into Manhattan, and I ate deep dish pizza behind the Natural History museum at Pizza Duo.

03/09/23 Thursday 5:45 P.M.. As best I can tell, I have only seen King Charles three times in my life or possibly more. When I first went down to St. Thomas in the fall of 1972, I was sitting at a pub at a ferry dock for St. John's and a British Naval officer was sitting next to me that looked like Prince Charles. When I was living on West 74th Street in the summer of 1981, I watch then Prince Charles arriving at Lincoln Center for a concert. The last time I was in Manhattan about 18 years ago, I walked up to the then Prince Charles in Grand Central Station looking at the new remodeling with two thousand people around him that looked a bit like Prince Andrew. I did meet somebody in a waterfront pub during the Bicentennial in July 4, 1976 that looked like Prince Charles, but he told me his family owned McCormick spices, and he was from Newport, Rhode Island. Also in February 1978, I stayed with somebody that looked like Prince Charles at Paradise Island in Nassau in the Bahamas, but I guess it was just somebody that looked like him, but at the casino where we went to dinner, it looked like the A list of British Society, and there were four B.O.A.C. jets at the Nassau airport. In the old days before the internet, people in America did not know much about British Royalty. I also might have seen him at the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France in February 1992. Possibly he was in Bermuda in April 1968, when I visited there.

03/08/23 Wednesday 6:35 P.M.. My father used to visit the Paradise Island Beach resort in Nassau the Bahamas, and he mentioned that he met Ian Fleming there, which is about as much as I know about British Intelligence, since I read all of his James Bond books, when I was at home in Boston in my college years. I used to have a few British contacts, but since I settled back in Greenwich in December 1983, I guess they can not afford to live here; so they must live elsewhere. When I away from Boston in college at Lake Forest College, a business associate of my father had a son that used my room in Boston, and the only books in the room was the James Bond collection, and that business associate was the President of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, so the Japanese must know something about James Bond from what I can tell. Not that it does me any good. CIO
