10/22/24 Tuesday 2:30 P.M. I picked up the mail. I will now shut down the HP laptop. I will eat a yogurt. I will then go to bed.
10/22/24 Tuesday 2:15 P.M. I went outside again. I used to be familiar with https://clarencehouse.com/ and they sold expensive https://fabricworld.com/collections/brunschwig-fils?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4ZqdusqiiQMVf3FHAR1f_ipBEAAYAyAAEgJbY_D_BwE from France, but I once learned from a relative at the first I-95 exit in Rhode Island that https://waverleymills.com/ has an outlet store near the exit that sells the same fabric much cheaper. It might have minor imperfections though.

10/22/24 Tuesday 12:35 P.M. I put three new AA alkaline batteries in my Atomic clock, but it is still not working properly. I will wait a day to see if it resets itself. I channel surfed. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/22/24 Tuesday 11:50 A.M. I rested until 11:15 A.M. I went outside.
10/22/24 Tuesday 9:50 A.M. I am about to eat a 11.5 ounce Marie Callender Swedish meatballs with a 15 ounce can of creamed corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce can of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.
10/22/24 Tuesday 9:20 A.M. When out on Nantucket, the locals get all of the easy jobs, so they use the summer visitors without money for the minimal wage jobs while the locals try to make money off the rich people. I chatted briefly with a friend.

I will now go outside again.
I went downtown to the Senior and the Arts Center. I sat out for a long time. I used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com . I remember if one wants to run a restaurant out on www.nantucket.net , one has to get food trucks from S.S. Pierce, Beatrice Foods, and Cisco Food, also food from Holdgates Fish Monger or the A&P if it is still there and of course the Mount Vernon Farm and the other Bartlett farm. However, fresh produce from the farms on Nantucket can have sand in it. They are still repaving the sidewalk in front of the Veterans Monument downtown. I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I bought a family pack of Kellogg's Special K with red berries and another family pack of Kellogg's Raisin Bran for $3.99 each for $7.98 total. I then bought a quart box of Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers for $1.49 with $4 bonus bucks coupon from the previous purchase. I then returned home. I put away the food. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. I filed this report. I will now go outside again.
10/22/24 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. I will now go downtown to Green Witch Avenue to forage around.
10/22/24 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. Even though I could never really afford to travel around the North Country too much in the winter, I have some ski resort connections. Rob Ford that I went to the Taft School and Lake Forest College was once the mayor of Vail, Colorado. A neighbor in Kennebunkport from the Stapleton family in Colorado might know something about Colorado skiing. A Lake Forest College friend who was related to W. Averill Harriman whom started Sun Valley, Idaho ski resort. When I worked for three seasons at the Le Languedoc restaurant way out on www.nantucket.net , the waiters were from the Stowe, Vermont Ski resort ski patrol. A friend locally has a nephew in Crested Butte, Colorado where Tom Watson III's daughter also lives. The Watson family here of www.ibm.com also used to own Smugglers Notch ski resort in Vermont. When I build the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island for ten months in 1982 and 1983, the main house had a big picture of the Von Trapp family lodge in Austria. The last time, I skied was in the winter of 1972 in Carrera, Italy in two feet of fresh powder. I did once go to all of the merchants on Greenwich Avenue fund raising for the United States Ski Team party at the Greenwich Country Club before the Albertville, France Winter Olympics which I also attended with a friend that still skis. I also once visited Innsbruck, Austria about the winter of 1987. When I drove across country four and a half times between 1978 and 1980, I also drove around a number of ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains. When I lived in Boston, I once visited Stratton, Vermont, and I once visited also in the summer, when I returned to Greenwich from Nantucket. My English teach at Greenwich Country Day School used to ski somewhere in Maine. I think it was the Sugarloaf ski resort. One of the times, I was in Key West, the Swedish Olympic ski team showed up before the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. When I visited Oslo, Norway in February to April 1983, there was a ski jump in downtown Oslo, Norway. At the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut I was on the ski team, where I think we skied Canon Mountain and Mohawk mountain in Connecticut. Also the few people in the North Country can not afford to come down here to the edge of the tropics either. Also when I chatted with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on the pier of Steamboat Road, a local fisherman from Whistler, Canada ski resort knew her. I think in the trips across country, I visited Vail briefly and Squaw Valley ski resorts. Also Provincetown and Boston airways in the Summer in Nantucket was also Aspen Airways in the Winter. I was also in Grenoble, France a few times in the Winter of 1972. The world famous Aka Khan also attended the world's most expensive private boys school in Gstad, Switzerland; but it is not there anymore.
I will now go outside again.

10/21/24 Monday 11:15 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with five deli slices of German baloney with 5 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli baloney I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again.
10/21/24 Monday 10:25 A.M. I went downtown to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I toured the store twice. Once I bought a Daisy croissant for $2.14, and I had a picnic in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across the street. I chatted with a friend on my cell phone. I paid fifty cents for 20 minutes on the parking meter, when I went inside to CVS to use the bathroom. I noticed in the near far right middle aisle they have about eight knit ski resort caps for $16.99 each including one from Vail and a couple from Breckenridge. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a five gallon bottle of Poland Spring water with bottle return for $9.99. I then returned home. I used my little folding hand truck to bring up the 42 pound bottle of water, and I stored it away underneath the teak dining table with two other five gallon bottles of Poland Spring water. I then put the folding hand truck back in the car, and I drank an instant coffee outside. I filed this report. I will now go outside again.

I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/20/24 Sunday 5:20 A.M. This looks interesting to install on the Ubuntu Linux computer setup https://computingforgeeks.com/install-deepin-desktop-environment-on-ubuntu/ . However that did not work, but there is another Ubuntu variation https://ubuntudde.com/download/ that it might work on.

10/19/24 Saturday 1:45 A.M. I added some more programs on Linux Mint. The democrats at www.ibm.com were never interested in me although Polaroid leased millions of dollars of computer equipment from them. The democrats at www.microsoft.com were never interested in me but thought I might have an IBM connection living in Greenwich which some of my relatives had. The democrats at Apple were never interested in me except for trying to sell over priced equipment at their store on Greenwich Avenue. However, the republicans at www.hp.com like me, but I never got any money from them, although my primary laptop is HP. Linux is worldwide, so one has to have a worldwide viewpoint, which is not very profitable.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

On the new Lenovo ThinkCentre I had to clear the bios password by resetting the dip pens or motherboard jumper pin and then resetting them back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmZe4-ELcic . One needs the three prong tool in this kit to move the dim on the motherboard https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Piece-Computer-Tool-Carrying/dp/B0001NYK66/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2JIOJWBXXJ4O5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.s-DDMm09V6E4Ru35OBoka4nO_GkKnTRj9h9YFRlryo2a4DNz8kao2HYEUeWQoXWrVyNXi_NX8VP9ksOjXkdmTB3XkCpF9l_0jCV8jpwhW3ePuT9NH0Ibberla0Rwgvbt_leC6LjRgoATAiKQZJthvznvgWmsMUOKQTxqa_1OFVxKhyE5YeiWrnXI8hBrqA_s-8NFISbH9unP79qRvhFQxXTzEIORoqW2eDWfSRdfv44.lGwYZY_plR-f2ie2m0S3OHVLGiyBeNAm7i0NFQdSYxg&dib_tag=se&keywords=computer%2Btool%2Bdim%2Bpuller&qid=1729236574&sprefix=computer%2Btool%2Bdim%2Bpuller%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-16&th=1 .

Back in the summer of 1978 my roommate out on Nantucket worked at the Cumberland Farms dairy store at night. He told me he sold a lot a marijuana rolling papers at that store. A friend of his told me that the local grow marijuana in the Hidden Forest off the Polpis Road so I guess they get away with it. I was once told the Peter, Paul, and Mary song, "Puff the Magic Dragon," was about Nantucket. Also the Beatles song, "Magical Mystery Tour," was about Nantucket.
10/14/24 Monday 9:20 P.M. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm .
10/14/24 Monday 9:15 P.M. On Nantucket my stepfather's second oldest brother had an expensive home in the Wauwinnet area of Nantucket which is where the road to Great Point is. I also looked like Tommy Tucker from Bedford, New York whose grandmother had a $85 million farm way out on Nantucket.
10/14/24 Monday 9:10 P.M. https://www.greenwichtime.com/realestate/article/donald-trump-greenwich-ct-estate-sold-19836262.php . My old neighbor, when I lived at 700 Steamboat Road in a $400 a month studio apartment from June 1984 until December 1988. Alas dishwashers from Nantucket can no longer afford to live in that neighborhood. My stepfather also lived in Donald Trump's old neighborhood, but he sold his house on the waterfront there in 1978 for $400,000. There has been a lot of inflation in Greenwich. I used to see both of Trump's yachts and the smaller one the Ivana was frequently moored at the Showboat Hotel, and it was from Georgetown in the Cayman Islands I guess for tax purposes. I did spend a lot of time over the years on the pier on Steamboat Road over the years even when I moved away. I had two classmates at the Greenwich Country Day school whose fathers were also the head commodores at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in the neighborhood and another classmate at Greenwich Country Day who used to be the manager of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. Thus I am an experienced "Wharf Rat." Also a relative of a relative also lived on Steamboat Road for a while.

I reset the bios video memory to the max from the minimum, so it might work now. When I tried it last night the video was blinking, so possibly it did not have enough on board memory.

10/13/24 Sunday 12:55 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again.
10/13/24 Sunday 12:25 A.M. Those versions of Linux will not work on the Lenovo ThinkCentre mini computer that does not have the yellow plug. I am now restoring the September 2024 version of Windows 12 beta Canary that was on it before.

I will now to outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/12/24 Saturday 10:45 P.M. There is a new Windows 12 beta Canary beta, however for it to work one has increase the bios video memory to the maximum. I will now try it out on the beta machine on the Vizio TV mini computer setup. Be a Microsoft Windows 12 beta tester in many different languages. I did this one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows Developer 11 beta 27718 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. Microsoft does not pay its beta tester minions, but one learns a bit about their operating systems for free. Also on the beta disk manager does not work, unless one uses this way run a CMD prompt as Administrator, and run, "compmgmt.msc" . This will also work on older computers too.

I bought a five gallon bottle of Poland Spring water with bottle return for $9.99, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.59, two 4 packs of Chaboni plain yogurt for $3.99 a four pack, a 64 ounce bottle of Silk vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.89, a 30 ounce Simply Orange grapefruit juice for $5.39, two 64 ounce diet Ocean Spray cranberry juice for $3.69 each, and a package of deli sliced white American cheese for $5.99 a pound for $6.08 for $44.30 total.

I then put the folding hand truck back in the car. I then sat outside. I filed this report. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

10/11/24 Friday 5:10 A.M. I channel surfed. I ate some white seedless grapes.
10/11/24 Friday 4:05 A.M. I worked with the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina on the Vizio TV mini computer setup. It all seems to be working just fine. On my various mini computers, I just setup the OS on them. I never had much time to learn the various programs except the basic programs. It all takes a bit of time for Midnight Mike. I started wearing my new fall jacket with this color http://mikelouisscott.com/mlsdc.jpg . The one in the picture, I gave to a friend who lives near D.C. I also have a new one in red too. I have lots of winter coats for when it gets colder. However, I donated my two snow suits since I had not worn them in many years, and they are difficult to go to the bathroom with them on. Once it gets colder like this evening, it takes a couple of weeks at night to get use to it, but after that I hope to survive another winter going out regularly at night. I also have snow boots, but recently we have not had too much snow in the last few years.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/11/24 Friday 3:00 A.M. I finished working with Linux for now. I guess I am now familiar with the Windows OS, the Apple OS, and the Linux OS. However, at my advanced age, I have problems keeping up with the young Turks whom do everything on their Iphones.
I will now go outside again.

10/10/24 Thursday 10:25 P.M. Off www.youtube.com , I watched a program about the Duke of Windsor. Fred Von Mierers' boss Billy Baldwin was a friend of the Duke of Windsor. Since Wallace Simpson and Billy Baldwin were from Maryland living around the Dupont family that is probably how they knew each other. Both the Duke of Windsor and Billy Baldwin were five foot three inches tall, so a lot of their entourage might have been that high unlike some of the giants today.
I will now rest a bit.
10/10/24 Thursday 9:45 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sliced carrots with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again. Greenwich, Connecticut used to have an Anglophile presence in the old days. In the lobby of the Greenwich Country Club https://www.greenwichcountryclub.org/ there was displayed the oldest coffee trophy in America that was dedicated to Queen Victoria and donated by the Spalding Company. However, with all of the new people from around the world here, I guess they do not care too much about our quaint town's history.
10/10/24 Thursday 8:45 P.M. On the big screen Samsung television connected to the Lenovo ThinkCentre with Windows 10, I watched a www.youtube.com video about King George VI saving his German relatives' art treasures.

10/09/24 Wednesday 11:20 P.M. I rested a bit. I went outside. I unplugged the power to both portable air conditioners. I removed the duct work from the windows for both portable air conditioners. I moved the living room portable air conditioner to the right of the Queen Anne chair. I also took the square cherry end table from the bedroom chairs, and I put it in front of the Queen Anne chair. I moved the dark oak end table from in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom to between the two bent pine chairs in the bedroom.

10/09/24 Wednesday 10:10 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise.

I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.
10/09/24 Wednesday 9:10 P.M. I picked up the mail. I watched some hurricane Milton news. From reading the Greenwich Time for 60 years, I have heard about people from Greenwich on the west coast of Florida in Cedar Key, Sanibel Island, and Boca Grande. I once read an article that there is a town near Tampa that has over two hundred retired Town of Greenwich employees.

10/09/24 Wednesday 12:05 A.M. I watched off Netflix series 4 episode 20 of, "Vikings."
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/08/24 Tuesday 11:00 P.M. I watched off Netflix series 4 episode 19 of, "Vikings." I went outside midway through, and I drank an instant coffee. On Vikings when I visited Oslo, Norway in February 1983, when my S.A.S. jet was supposed to be going to Stockholm, Sweden; but landed at a military airport near Oslo, I saw a bit of Oslo instead. The second day, they had six feet of snow, and I went to the Cats discothèque, and they had all of the pictures of the horses descended from the Norwegian race horse, "Noble Dancer." In the period I was there, I was not able to eat very much but corn flakes with milk and Swedish wasa crisps. I did attend a concert in the, "Peace Hall." Having visited Oslo, Norway; I learned a bit of their perspective in the far North country which not many people seem to be aware of. On the way back to New York City, I did change jets in the Copenhagen, Denmark airport, but I never left that airport. At J.F.K. airport back in New York City, I spent a week homeless at Easter Time seeing a lot of traveling religious people from around the World. I then flew from LaGuardia airport back to www.nantucket.net about the time the Mianus Bridge fell down in Greenwich. In the fall of October 1983, I drove down to Vero Beach, Florida with a relative, and then on my own to Fort Lauderdale, Florida during the Grenada Invasion, and then to the Tampa area to visit my father and then back to Vero Beach, and I flew back to Nantucket, until around Thanksgiving time, when I flew from Hyannis to LaGuardia and took the Amtrak to Toronto for a week or two, and then back down to Manhattan, when I was twice homeless for a week, and I finally received a small apartment at 100 Milbank Avenue in Greenwich from the department of Social Services around December 13, 1983. Thus after a complete physical in the Greenwich Hospital, they determined I was legally disabled, and my days of wandering around ended except for trips to Kennebunkport and a half dozen other places. There is no point in traveling on low income hoping to find a better life, which never leads to anything better.
I will now go outside again.
10/08/24 Tuesday 9:30 P.M.

Since Microsoft Windows 12 is not coming out for another year, Linux is keeping me busy. I think Linux came out of Sweden like cell phone technology did.

10/04/24 Friday 11:00 P.M. I moved the Amazon Cube setup from the living room Samsung television to the bedroom LG television setup. From the living room desk, I moved the Lenovo ThinkCentre Windows 10 setup to the Samsung television. It works just fine. On the Vizio TV mini computer stack, I moved the Lenovo ThinkCentre Windows 12 beta Canary to the top of the stack, and I connected it up for beta testing ditching Linux.

10/04/24 Friday 7:20 P.M. I went downtown after the last note. I sat out for a long time at the Board of Education Veterans Monument bench and the Senior and the Arts Center bench. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. I went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I paid 75 cents in quarters to park until 5 P.M. At CVS, I got my first tetanus shot in over twenty years. A second time, I used the bathroom there. I sat out in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park for a long time.

10/04/24 Friday 2:20 P.M. I rested until 1:30 P.M. I went outside. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn and onion and a 12 ounce glass www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I ordered three Amazon.com : Del Monte Canned Sweet Peas, 15 oz Can : Grocery & Gourmet Food for $15.84 off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps card.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

During my last season in 1983 out on Nantucket working as a dishwasher at the Le Lanquedoc restaurant Home - Le Languedoc Bistro & Inn for $8.75 an hour before taxes, there was always an older man sitting on the patio of the Jared Coffin House that had the same look as one of the most prominent New Yorkers, but it was probably just somebody that looked like that person.

The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.

10/03/24 Thursday 6:00 P.M. After the last note, I went downtown to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I paid $3 in quarters to park for two hours. I spent most of my time in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across the street. I chatted with a friend on my cell phone. I toured CVS twice, and one of those times I picked up a prescription and used the bathroom twice. I also got a roll of quarters for $10 cash. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two 13 ounce Marie Callender chicken fettuccini meals for $3.99 each, two four packs of Chaboni cherry yogurt for $3.50 a four pack, a 64 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $4.49 and a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.59 for $21.06 total.

10/03/24 Thursday 11:55 A.M. Out on www.nantucket.net , I usually did not have a car, so I walked a lot. I did have the 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne for a week in the summer of 1976, but I gave it away to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift shop in the spring of 1977, when I returned back to Nantucket from Key West. Nantucket is so small, that if one has a car, one soon runs out of places to go.
10/03/24 Thursday 11:45 A.M. I rested until 11 A.M. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. When I was at www.lakeforst.edu college from 1968 to 1972, beside making regular flights between Chicago and Boston, one could fly anywhere in the country for $50, so I once flew to Detroit and another time to Tulsa and another time to Colorado Springs, where I toured the Air Force Academy. I also once too a Grey Hound bus round trip from Boston to Toronto. I did drive a number of time between Lake Forest, Illinois and Boston. When I drove a taxi cab in Lake Forest at night for a year and a half, I was always driving passengers to O'Hare Airport near Chicago. The last summer in 1972, I also road with a friend to a Can Am raise in Minnesota and another time the Thousand Islands near Saute St. Marie. I also drove from Oak Brook, Illinois to Jacksonville, Florida. Road trips used to be fun.

10/02/24 Wednesday 7:05 P.M. The new Lenovo mini ThinkCentre has the bios protected with a password which I do not have, so I emailed the seller for the password. I was able to boot Hirens Easy BCD and do a low level format on it. I then installed Linux Dabian First and then Linux Modicia, and they both startup. I still have to configure them. I tried resetting the password by removing the CMOS battery for fifteen minutes and reflashing the bios to no avail. However, in the current setup the USB flash drive boots before the SSD drive, so I am able to boot from a USB pen drive.

I tried installing Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, and Linux Mint along side Modicia Linux partition to no avail. I am now restoring the Microsoft Beta 12 Canary setup to the second in the stack Lenovo ThinkCentre Mini computer. Well, one can install Linux Mint along side Ubuntu, which I have done before or vica versa.
I will now go outside again.
10/02/24 Wednesday 5:25 A.M. On this page at the bottom, I downloaded the 64 bit DVD .iso Debian Linux Index of /debian-cd/12.7.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid for AMD .iso file and I will make an installation pen drive and attempt to install it along side the Linux Debian Monicia installation on the Linux Lenovo ThinkCentre.
10/02/24 Wednesday 4:35 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise.

I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sweet peas and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.

10/01/24 Tuesday 8:35 A.M. Although complicated, the reason working with home computers and two web sites is easier for me is that I have been doing it September 1989 which is about 35 years. It actually is a bit easier today than the earlier days when things were a lot more complicated. When I tried running a server out of my apartment I would sometimes get hacked over a half dozen times a day, so I became expert at restoring backups of new installs or doing new installs of free betas which are free.
10/01/24 Tuesday 7:40 A.M. Linux is all setup on the Lenovo ThinkCentre on the Vizio TV mini computer setup.
I will now go outside and drink a decaf instant coffee.
!!!!!! 10/01/24 Tuesday 6:40 A.M. I was able to get Linux to install on the ThinkCentre by doing a 2% low level format with the Hirens Easy BCD USB pen drive, and then it installed normally. Either I had a virus or Linux put something on the hard drive that is hard to get rid of. A quick low level format does not work.
I went outside twice.
10/01/24 Tuesday 5:30 A.M. I am still trying to install Linux by installing it on a different type of partition. I have tried about everything. The first time I installed it this past afternoon, it installed without any problems. I will keep trying, and if it does not install, I will install the Windows 12 beta Canary installation again. On this particular Think Centre I have had problems with Linux in the past, but on the other two Think Centres it worked fine, so I can try it on the fourth Think Centre when it arrives this Wednesday. It is the Think Centre with the yellow AC plug in that Linux works on.
10/01/24 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. I paid my Optimum, Eversource Electric, and Verizon telephone bills for October 2024.
10/01/24 Tuesday 3:55 A.M. On my older Linux ThinkCentre mini to reinstall Modicia O.S., I had to first do another low level format with Hirens USB pen drive. I guess on that computer, one can not install Linux for Linux. Linux installs a hidden partition that one has to do a low level format to get rid of. Also this time to get it to work on my older computer, I am not installing a Swap file like I did the first time this past afternoon.
10/01/24 Tuesday 3:30 A.M. On my older Linux ThinkCentre mini to reinstall Modicia O.S., I had to first do another low level format with Hirens USB pen drive. I guess on that computer, one can not install Linux for Linux. Linux installs a hidden partition that one has to do a low level format to get rid of.
I will now go outside again.
10/01/24 Tuesday 2:50 A.M. On the Linux system, the TV viewer program messed up downloading software, so I am reinstall the Linux system.

10/01/24 Tuesday 12:15 A.M. I went outside twice. I worked with Linux Debian computer setup. It is quite good and has lots of free programs. I think it works quite well for a free operating system that nobody called to my attention over the years.

09/30/24 Monday 10:20 P.M. Tracking is USPS.com® - USPS Tracking® Results on the order for Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p Tiny i5-4570T 2.90GHz 8GB Ram 128GB SSD Windows 10 AC | eBay for $55.30 total. I probably won't set it up. I will just keep it in the left living closet shelf as a spare. Using older computer equipment, it can break down. Since I am extremely low income, my viewpoint might be appreciated by low income students and retired people unlike Wall Street Gurus.
09/30/24 Monday 9:10 P.M. I watched a Chinese cooking show off Spirit television. However, my relative threw out my wok last December. I used to know how to do something like French Chinese cooking in a wok with olive oil and garlic and Italian spices and oregano. I went outside again.

09/30/24 Monday 1:20 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sliced carrots and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.
I will now rest a bit.
09/30/24 Monday 12:50 P.M. The Modicia O.S. Linux works really well. It has the Google Chrome web browser and Skype and a Office Suite. It also installs Microsoft Office 365, but one has to have an account for that. Thus for an older computer, it is ideal.
09/30/24 Monday 12:20 P.M. I made a Modicia O.S. install pen drive. On the Vizio mini computer setup, I did a Hiren Low Level format on the second Lenovo ThinkCentre mini computer, and I am now installing the Modicia OS on it. Previously Linux OS Ubuntu or Linux Mint would not install on it, so Modicia O.S. works with older equipment. My Linux ThinkCentre Mini computers are about eight years old, so they are not made to work with Windows 11 or the Windows 12 beta unless the install is modified too. Thus the Windows 12 beta Canary is no longer on the machine. However, I can always easily restore it.
I will now go outside again.

I will now go downtown to Green Witch Avenue to see the mad rush to www.starbucks.com which happens to serve a product from South of the Border as far as I know. However, in Europe coffee shops are allowed to serve liquor which is why there are more of them in Europe.
End of Scott's Notes week of 09/29/24
09/29/24 Sunday 4:00 A.M. When I was around Fred Von Mierers, Helen Kress Williams, Vivian West and Anne Freeman's group of friends in Manhattan, they all attended St. Bart's (stbarts.org) on the north side of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Once when I stayed with Hurley Harris Haywood at the Waldorf Towers, I had a cigarette on the patio of St. Bart's, and I saw someone that looked like the Duke of Windsor getting out of a Buick sedan at the Waldorf Towers in January 1973, but he was supposed to have passed away by then, so maybe it was Billy Baldwin the interior decorator that looked like him and knew him. Also St. Bart's has an indoor swimming pool. Also the wealthiest church in Manhattan is Grace Church in New York | Grace Church, an Episcopal Parish in the City of New York (gracechurchnyc.org) at 13th Street and University place in Greenwich Village. They own a lot of real estate. However, there are other churches in Manhattan like https://www.stjohndivine.org/ on the upper west side. On West 20th Street in Manhattan, where I also once lived briefly around 1974, they also have General Theological Seminary (gts.edu) . However, in walking around endlessly in Manhattan, I have passed many churches and houses of worship that people in Manhattan are familiar with like Marble Collegiate Church (marblechurch.org) which has old Dutch roots or even FAPC · Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church uptown where my step father's family were benefactors of. Of course Home - Church of St. Paul the Apostle, New York (stpaultheapostle.org) down on Wall Street is supposed to be one of the oldest churches in Manhattan as is https://www.trinitychurch.org/ next door down on Wall Street.
I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then go outside and drink an instant coffee.
09/29/24 Sunday 3:20 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with two ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.
I will now go outside again.
09/29/24 Sunday 2:25 A.M. For more extensive Microsoft Windows 12 beta canary testing, I bought this better deal Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p Tiny i5-4570T 2.90GHz 8GB Ram 128GB SSD Windows 10 AC | eBay for $55.30 total.

I then moved the www.harvard.edu chair into the northwest corner with the laptop setup. On the laptop setup in the northwest corner to the left of the Samsung television, I moved to the Apple MacBook Pro to the book shelf on the left, so the Dell 17.3 inch laptop there is now available for use there. Both Dell 17.3 inch laptops have dual boot with both Windows 10 and Windows 12 beta Canary with Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project on them, so they are good to use. Since nobody cares about Microsoft around here with the profitable Apple store on Greenwich Avenue, I am one of the last original beta testers of the Microsoft OS in this area. I have been to two Microsoft conferences at the Sheraton Hotel in Stamford, another at the Holiday Inn in Bridgeport, another at the Hyatt Hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, and the last one was at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan when I took these pictures to document the event Index of /mls-030408 (mikelouisscott.com) and I saw Prince Charles in Grand Central Station with Prime Minister Gordon Brown looking at the remodeled Grand Central Station with a thousand men in black suits that looked a bit like Prince Andrew. That is the last time, I dared to go to Manhattan.

I even met up with Shawn Hemingway at Daly's Dandelion pub at First Avenue and 59th Street who was the nephew of Ernest Hemingway and had just finished school in Switzerland.

09/18/24 Wednesday 2:50 A.M. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee. The local business companies that my father Louis Dale Scott was involved with as an executive in this area was Monsanto Chemstrand in Manhattan, Combustion Engineering in Stamford now Asea Brown Boveri and Continental Can in Greenwich and Manhattan. These larger companies also had facilities elsewhere including overseas. Of course before we moved into this area in June 1962, this area was not as prosperous, so maybe our family and associates helped make the area a little bit more prosperous. My father was also employed as an executive with Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell. He had a PHD in organic chemistry from Ohio State and did his undergraduate work at the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana. Besides being an executive he knew how to build factories and oil refineries. Major companies obviously have connections with bankers which why finance and economics is important.
However, since September 1989, I have learned how to use personal computers to keep track of my very simple lifestyle in the rather complex New York City environment.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
09/18/24 Wednesday 2:15 A.M. I am reading the Scott family history. I went outside again.
09/18/24 Wednesday 1:40 A.M. I moved the black piano bench back in the bedroom to in front of the United States of America flag in the bedroom. From there I moved the small dark oak end table to in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom with the television sound bar on it. I then moved the Harvard chair from the northwest corner of the living room to in front of the white bureau in front of the left side of the hallway entrance. I then set up the new folding beach chair in the northwest corner of the living room in front of the Dell 17.3 inch laptop setup. I figure the Harvard chair is an expensive piece of furniture, so it should be more prominently displayed. Through my Greenwich Country Day and Taft School connections, I know some people that went to Harvard, when my family lived in Boston, and I was just a summer photographer in Cambridge working at Polaroid. As a minor point of dispute, it says here History of the Scott Family (scott-mike.com) that the Scott family were original settlers in Cambridge along with other east coast settlements of America. More than likely there are still a few Scott family members out there in the wood work of America and they also seem to be a lot of them up in Canada for some odd reason not to mention the United States of America. Back in 1974, there were three United States Senators from the Scott family. One was from Pennsylvania, another from Virginia, and another from North Carolina. More than likely there are younger members of the Scott family around, not to mention the ones in the Eastern Hemisphere. Windfield Scott in Colonial Days was six foot three inches tall, so some of the modern descendants might be even taller, but they probably feel more comfortable around taller people like I do around middle size people at six feet tall and 205 pounds. I once had a distant relative on my mother's Dutch side of the family whom was a basket ball coach after landing the second day of D Day, so he might have known other tall people out in the Midwest somewhere or other.

Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. for Freshman Orientation at www.lakeforest.edu in the fall of 1968. They later made a movie with the same name. Joseph Heller's daughter was in our class, but when he visited the college when his daughter was there when the Cosmic Circus was going on, he withdrew his daughter from the college. I guess back then the college was a bit Avant Garde.

09/14/24 Saturday 12:20 A.M. Being on a night schedule most of my adult life, not many people ever paid much attention to me even in the big city of Manhattan. In my days in Manhattan up until February 1982, when it was 26 degrees below zero almost two years after Mount St. Helen's erupted, I learned some people were making money at night on computers by maintaining the computers on Wall Street, when the stock market was closed. However, until the Graphical User Interface came out on DOS, I was not much use on computers. I do not know the advanced computer operating systems like Big Blue better known as www.ibm.com market, although back in the summer of 1971 at Polaroid, I did learn a bit of COBOL from IBM manuals that Polaroid used on the expensive IBM 360 main frames they leased from IBM. Lake Forest College even gave me three credits for that work to make up the two courses in Quantum Mechanics and the one course in recent American History I flunked. I left all of the IBM manuals and the COBOL print outs of the spread sheet that I wrote in one night after meeting up with a few young guys near a friend's apartment on Beacon Hill. I will not mention what I was taking, but when I entered the program from spread sheets into punch cards, it ran perfectly fine on the IBM 360. I then hitch hiked down to Woods Hole and took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and wandered around Martha's Vineyard, and I think I also camped out on the beach in a storm on Chappaquiddick which was well advertised at that time. It was about a twenty mile walk on the south shore of Martha's Vineyard from Edgartown to the Gay Head, and there was a dangerous inlet half way that one had to cross. However, I also heard about www.nantucket.net while living in Boston, so I would also sneak out there to enjoy the summer activity. I think on one my first trips to Nantucket, I ran into my freshman year room mate at Lake Forest College from Princeton, New Jersey when I was having a beer at the pub on Main Street which became an ice cream parlor. Being all salty from the ocean, we did not recognize each other. I can not remember the name of that pub, but I think it was something like the Ship's Locker or some other nautical phrase. Other classmates from Lake Forest College were also out on Nantucket too, but I recall on the first trip to Nantucket in the summer of 1968, I stayed with some other youth from Greenwich at a small apartment on Orange Street. My Polaroid celebrity did not transfer to Nantucket, and even when I lived at 31 India Street the President of Eastman Kodak lived across the street. On one of the earlier trips to Nantucket in the late 1960s, I visited with one of two British twins whose father ran B.O.A.C. in Boston, and he was an excellent surfer having lived in Hawaii. Alas as a senior age, I need to stay close to those services that maintain older people in the Greenwich area.
09/13/24 Friday 10:55 P.M. On the Vizio TV mini computer setup, the second Microsoft Windows 12 beta Canary Lenovo ThinkCentre mini computer is back up and running again. It is the same as the other one with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, and Norton Internet Security. I am trying to install another Windows update on it, but I do not think it will install on a beta.
I will now go outside again and drink some of Mrs. Franklin's instant coffee.
09/13/24 Friday 9:45 P.M. When I went outside, I drank some of Benjamin Franklin's mother's instant coffee. I low level formatted the Linux beta computer with Hirens EasyBCD pen drive Download | Hiren's BootCD PE (hirensbootcd.org) and https://www.hirensbootcd.org/usb-booting/ and I am using the Aomei backup on it to restore the already configured Windows 12 beta Canary setup.
Be a Microsoft Windows 12 beta tester in many different languages. I did this one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows Developer 11 beta 26100.1150 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. Microsoft does not pay its beta tester minions, but one learns a bit about their operating systems for free. Also on the beta disk manager does not work, unless one uses this way run a CMD prompt as Administrator, and run, "compmgmt.msc" . This will also work on older computers too.
I will now go outside again.

Back in the 1950s, when my family used my maternal grandmother's cottage on the beach in Holland, Michigan; there was a small store just north of it that had a pen ball machine for nickel a game. When I was at Lake Forest College, I knew friends that had a pachinko machine. When I arrived at the train station in Grenoble, France in the winter of 1972, the train station was filled with dozens of pen ball machines. At the discothèque in Greenville, South Carolina in the winter of 1976, they also had pen ball machines, but with inflation, I think they were a quarter a game. In the Chicago in the fall of 1972, Rob Glore also had a jute box in his apartment. Also in that period the Ninth Circle pub in Greenwich Village had a jute box which was about a quarter for each song. I used to try to control the music there with Beach Boys, Elvis, and Beatles tunes. However, they had a picture of Janis Joplin there, so maybe there were other music people there. I was told while at CBS, the news division did not make any money, but the music division made a lot of money. The soap operas were also owned by Proctor and Gamble. I did see the cast of the Waltons once at the Ninth Circle Pub and also Andy Warhol. I remember during one blizzard when people were stuck traveling in Manhattan, I saw someone that looked like Margaret Thatcher and Mao Tse Tung stuck traveling elsewhere. Later a lot of Jamaicans showed up on the back patio underneath a tent smoking what Jamaicans were once famous for in hippie days. The bartender "Stormy" was from White House, Vermont; so he did not mind cold weather. I usually drank small 4 ounce cans of orange juice there. They did also serve Schlitz beer there too. They also served Schlitz beer at the Bull put in Key West. At Lake Forest College, Budweiser was 69 cents a six pack but Schlitz was 59 cents a six pack, since we were not too far from the Wisconsin border where in Kenosha, Wisconsin American Motors made Jeeps which are handy in cold snowy weather up North. Rob Glore a cousin of Hurley Harris Haywood was the first person I knew in Key West, and he had a woman's hippie clothing shop with lots of girls next to the Masonic Temple across the street from the Post Office. He had gone to school in Switzerland, but one hardly ever saw him around except a few times walking his Irish Setter. He did cash my six month of unemployment checks when they finally arrived in April 1977. One time when I was there, I also walked into a party off the street where Hurley Harris Haywood was the guest of honor. I guess my Chemstrand Monsanto Nylon connections in Pensacola, Florida were no good in Key West. When Jimmy Eldert, and I finally left in April 1977 with my $2,500 in unemployment money; I was only 125 pounds having starved without benefits for six months, when I arrived in the third week of September 1976 in Fort Lauderdale, I was a 185 pounds. Thus Key West is a good place to lose weight, if one does not mind starving.
I will now go outside again.
09/05/24 Thursday 11:30 P.M. I took the new folding beach chair out of the back of the Volvo, and I put it folded up in front of the white bureau on the left side of the hallway entrance. It can be easily folded out for use at that location, and it is less cluttered there. I moved the red leather Chesterfield chair from there back to in front of the Vizio TV mini computer setup at the apartment entrance. It is more comfortable to sit at that location. From there, I moved the Harvard chair back to the northwest corner of the living room at the Dell 17.3 inch laptop setup. From there, I move the bent pine chair to the left side of the bed in the bedroom.

Back in the 1960s my neighbors on Round Hill Road had a pool table in their basement, where I learned to play Stripes and Solids. At Lake Forest College, they had four AMF pool tables in the Commons. When I met Hurley Harris Haywood, he had a pool table in his grandmother's basement. In Manhattan, Uncle Charlie's on Third Avenue, the Ninth Circle pub, the Eagles Nest, and the Spike and Jimmy's had pool tables. Up in Nantucket Preston's bar next to the airport had two pool tables. When I was once hospitalized for starving, the hospital had two pool tables. In Key West, Captain Tony's bar had two pool tables. I think the discotecque in Greenville, South Carolina had pool tables. The Brook cafe in Westport had a pool table. Also Christ Church in Greenwich has two pool tables. Alas I am not that good at it, but I have played it a bit. AMF used to be headquartered on Greenwich Avenue too. Possibly the Amtrak station bar in Santa Barbara also had a pool table.

09/04/24 Wednesday 8:20 A.M. I drove downtown to the Board of Education Parking lot Veterans Monument bench. I drank an instant coffee from my thermos there. I used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com . I sat in front of the Senior and the Arts Center. I walked down to Zen Stationary, and I bought a Sunny Money scratch card for a dollar, and I lost as usual to the Bank of Bombay. I sat out some more at the Senior and the Arts Center. I then drove to the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across from www.cvs.com . I sat there for a while. I used the bathroom at the CFCF coffee shop. I then toured CVS at opening. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a 64 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.99, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.99, a package of deli sliced Van Kass Dutch smoked gouda cheese for $6.99 a pound for $6.99, and a package of deli sliced honey ham for $6.99 a pound for $7.16 for $22.13 total. I then returned home. I put my food away. I put the grey bag back in the car. I sat outside. I filed this report. I will now shut down the HP laptop. I will eat a yogurt. I will then go to bed.
09/04/24 Wednesday 4:55 A.M. I rested until 4:30 A.M. I channel surfed. I moved the small dark end table from the right side of the Harvard chair to in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom. I will now go downtown to Greenwich Avenue to forage around, but first I have to put on warmer clothes.
09/04/24 Wednesday 3:25 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of deli ham with six deli slices of white American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will rest a bit.
09/04/24 Wednesday 2:40 A.M. I hardly ever have to open up the white bureau in the living room. The top drawers contains various flags of convenience, which I do not display, since the United States Government pays most of my bills here, so I display the U.S.A. flag in the bedroom. The middle drawer contains bathing suits and new linens, but since I am not supposed to go out in the sun anymore, I do not use the bathing suits anymore. The bottom drawer contains some new Oxford shirts, which I do not seem to wear anymore, because the traditional Greenwich Preppy look seems to be way out of fashion here. I still know how to do it though, and I have sports jackets and sweaters and dress pants, but that makes me look more affluent, which I am not obviously. I was told many times that www.lakeforest.edu in Lake Forest, Illinois was the only college one could attend and still come out a Preppy. Maybe out in the Midwest, they still like wearing traditional Anglophile clothes instead of cold weather outdoor apparel. It is colder out there. I once was told a distant relation raises sheep in Montana, so maybe they still have wool products in America besides the United Kingdom. Some people like dressing up for church services, but being on a night time schedule, I hardly ever attend church anymore. I still have a couple of old bibles in my apartment, and one is my Taft School bible I think published by Thomas Nelson and sons out of Edinburgh, Scotland. My Taft minister is retired from Yale, and the Taft alumni news letter says he is running a historical farm up in Vermont, where it is colder than here. The other Yale minister the Reverend William Sloan Coffin who was a carpenter out in Nantucket also was retired up in Vermont. Sometimes when it gets colder up North, we get a few people from Vermont showing up here. That is probably when the younger generation here goes skiing up there in the winter. President Gerald Ford used to have a house in Dillon, Colorado made out of iron wood that could support a many feet of snow. My 1971 Subaru from Nantucket also came from Dillon, Colorado. I know PBA airlines out on Nantucket in the summer used to be Aspen Airways in Colorado in the Winter.
I will now go outside again.
09/04/24 Wednesday 2:15 A.M. I once met another interior decorator from the Harvard School of Design named Bret Clark from Steubenville, Ohio; Palm Beach; and Vienna, Austria. He told me when I met him, he was redoing the Kennedy School of Government for Caroline Kennedy Schlosberg up in Boston. I guess he is quite talented. His father was the ambassador from Austria to the United Nations too, so he might speak German like Fred Von Mierers. When I was around Fred Von Mierers his architect partner from Greenwich was Taylor Sterling that lived on Mayfair Lane in Greenwich where I bought the cast iron caboose stove, when I first moved into this apartment from John Fitzgerald a very tall person. Alas, I can not afford expensive furniture like Fred Von Mierers' client Kip Forbes could afford from Sotheby's and Christie's. However, over the years I have tried to make do with the charity contributions at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop mostly. People were always telling me in Manhattan about another interior decorator named Michael Parish of Parish Hadley, but I do not recall meeting him. Billy Baldwin did redo the White House for Jackie Kennedy and worked for other established clients like the Mellon family of Nantucket and else where.
09/04/24 Wednesday 1:20 A.M. I moved the black lacquer piano bench from in front of the white bureau in the living room to in front of the U.S.A. flag in the bedroom. I moved the Harvard chair from the northwest corner in the living room to in front of the white bureau in the living room. I moved the small dark oak end table from the bedroom wall to the right side of the Harvard on the left side of the hallway entrance. I moved a bent pine chair from the bedroom to the northwest corner of the living room. I moved the square cherry Danish end table to the bedroom wall with the AT&T two line telephone on it. Once it gets cold, I can moved the portable air conditioner in the living room to the northwest corner of the living room or the left side of the bed in the bedroom. Then in the open space in the living room where the portable air conditioner is, I can put a square end table. Also with the Harvard chair where it is, it is more conversational should a small group of people ever want to converse in my apartment. Maybe the ghosts of Billy Baldwin and Frederick Von Mierers are haunting me in my small apartment interior decoration not to mention some relatives whom think they know best.
