04/16/24 Tuesday 4:45 A.M.  The The Huntington in California is supposed to have General Patton's papers in it.  Alas I was so busy working out on Nantucket, I did not have much time to read as I did in my youth.   In the summer of 1977, I did buy a paper back copy of Herman Melville's Amazon.com: Billy Budd, Bartleby, and Other Stories (Penguin Classics Edition): 9780143107606: Melville, Herman, Coviello, Peter M.: Books which I never got time to read.  I left the paper back copy on my bureau at Mrs. Florence Frances' guest house at 31 India Street where I also kept my little amount of money that I never kept track of too much.  I recall the picture of Billy Budd on the cover, he was wearing something like a red flannel shirt.  In those days, they sold Cabin John flannel shirts out on Nantucket.  I think they came from Vermont.  I still have the blue canvas back pack that I sewed up on the beach on the south shore that summer.  I threw away its leather bottom, when it got moldy here.  The canvas came from Hood Sails out on Nantucket.  The thread they sold me came from the Heminway Thread company on Steamboat Road in Greenwich, where I ended up living for 4.5 years, when I came off Nantucket until I moved to public housing for elderly and disabled people in Byram in December 1988.  I used to use the Greenwich Library a lot until Covid 19 arrived.  CIO

04/16/24 Tuesday 3:55 A.M. The Boston Schools do not get out until the third week of June, so Nantucket Live Video Streaming Webcams of the Island is not very busy yet.  They used to read out there a lot.  The HUB in the center of town would sell the New York Times and the Boston Globe for 35 cents in my day, but that was too expensive, so I would read the Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com in the Nantucket Athenaeum Library for free.

04/14/24 Sunday 12:35 A.M.  I saw one of their 747s Evergreen International Airlines - Wikipedia at Kennedy airport when I flew to Oslo, Norway in February 1983 on S.A.S..  Maybe they followed me over there.  They were flying the Texas flag at the S.A.S. Hotel in Oslo, and Royal Dutch Shell had a big office building next to the S.A.S. Hotel and nearby www.ibm.com had a big office building near the Norwegian Palace, so I figured those Texans might be North Sea Oil workers on a break from work in the North Sea which is a very dangerous job with over fifty foot waves around off shore oil platforms.  Alas Scottish Americans which I am 25% off don't get any money from North Sea oil, but they give half to the British and half to the Norwegians.  I was very proud of my new Brooks Brother's brown leather jacket that I had bought with my garage apartment earning, but Oslo when I first arrived at a military airport had six feet of snow, and there were lots of Norwegians around wearing full length white leather coats.  At the time both President Reagan and Vice President Bush were from warmer areas in the United States of America, so there were not many government people up to going to Oslo, Norway in the dead of winter.

04/09/24 Tuesday 3:05 A.M.  How and why did I go to Nantucket in July 1975.  I had quit smoking cigarettes, and I had been swimming that spring with Louis Rosensteil's permission at the lake at Conyers Farm with the class of 1975 at the Greenwich High School.  I even built a 20 foot by 20 foot raft out on the broken up dock from the boat house.  When the lake got too much algae as the weather warmed up, I was walking around the playing fields at Greenwich Country Day school, and somebody from the class of 1975 let me ride their palomino horse at full gallop across the lacrosse field 300 yards, and the horse threw me head first into a stone wall or tree.  I just returned home a little shook up, and I did not go to the Greenwich Hospital to see if I had a concussion.  As I recall in early July 1975 or late June 1975, I got a post card from Nantucket from Sandy Carlson who had me at his Art Gallery on East 67th Street with W. Averill Harriman.  I had been to Nantucket before, when I lived in Boston starting in the summer of 1968 with classmates from Greenwich Country Day School.  For some reason, I baked six loaves of Rye bread, and packed up a duffle bag, and I hitchhiked as far as New Haven, where I stayed for the night at a Yale fraternity house for tennis players.  Then I got a ride most of the way on the road to Cape Cod with someone who was a helicopter pilot in the Coast Guard.  He even showed me his trailer where I can not remember.  In Woods Hole, someone I met introduced me to the local Episcopal priest, and he had me put up at the Poor House which is a retreat in Bourne for the Episcopal Church.  Around the Fourth of July, I hitch hiked back to Woods Hole, and I snuck on the ferry boat to Martha's Vineyard, and I hitchhike around the island, where I had also been before.  Phil Silvers even picked me up.   They let me stay at the youth hostile for free.  I then snuck on the ferry to Nantucket.  Tony Farrell from Norwich, Vermont picked me, and he showed me where I could camp out with some friends off Fairgrounds Road.  I met up with Sandy Carlson and Jimmy Eldert, but they were not able to put me up.  After a week or two of camping out and swimming at the beach on the South Shore, and eating my rye bread, I worked about a week at night at the Nantucket bakery making Portuguese bread and pastries for a little extra food.  I would drink orange juice from Cumberland Farms.  I even worked for a day picking up Quahogs in Madeket where we got $20 a potato sack full.  Then one evening Fred Von Mierers showed up, and he put me up at the $7,500 a week rental on Main Street, and took me to dinner at the Opera House.  The following morning we had a confrontation about some of Fred's personal property that had disappeared, but since I had helped him unpack, he did not let me explain, I had hidden it underneath the Pier One hallow wicker chair.  I told Jimmy Eldert, and I left the island, and I think I hitchhiked back to Greenwich.  I returned to Nantucket for a week with a car the following summer from South Carolina, where I had worked six months before, but I did not run into anyone I knew. However, one of the people I worked with in South Carolina as an expeditor at Daniel Construction was named Joe Gosnell, which is a founding family of Nantucket.

04/06/24 Saturday 8:40 A.M.  In the period that I was able to use Fred Von Mierers' apartment at 420 East 49th Street now the German Consulate from October 1973 when he showed up in the society press chatting with Nelson Rockefeller when the stock market crashed in October 1973 and the Arab Oil Embargo started until February 1975 when there was no point anymore in Manhattan, the basic meal plan was a $3 with tip breakfast of bacon, eggs over easy, toast, orange juice and coffee at the Greek restaurant on the northeast corner of 50th Street and First Avenue and a dinner of a liverwurst sandwich from the Thieves' Deli on the southeast corner of 50th Street and Second Avenue and the occasional twenty cent Dannon yogurt or fifty cent croissant flown in fresh from Paris at the bakery on the southeast corner of second avenue and 49th Street, I had enough energy to keep walking and exploring around Manhattan all of the time.  If I had extra money, there might be a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll from the Old Dutch deli on East 86th Street.  There was a Gristedes on Fred's block, but we only got Dannon yogurt there.  At that period, I felt East 49th Street was like the old television show, "The Man from Uncle." with possible secret entrances to the big building just south of it.  When I tried living more simply with two Yale grads on West 20th Street near where the New York City police academy was, all they were eating was water kress salads with Dijon vinaigrette salad dressing with a small slice of French bread a sip of white wine.  Back then New York City did not have www.mcdonalds.com , but there was a LUMs hotdog restaurant across from the FDR Federal building on Third Avenue which is now a McDonalds.  I even signed a partition one Sunday morning with some elderly ladies to keep them from building a McDonalds next to the Colony Club.

04/06/24 Saturday 8:00 A.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I channel surfed.  Lots of good old programs on channels 120 through 129 including my banker at CBS Jack Benny that made off with all of the money.  I once saw him going into P.J. Clarke's at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Federal Building on Third Avenue and 55th Street with three women with big bouffant hair does and mink coats, so even though he was from the Midwest, they hired him.  The Alexa display told me only twenty four million people now watch the three prime time news broadcasts on CBS, ABC, and NBC.  I was once told that CBS is Columbia University, ABC is Harvard University and NBC is Princeton University.  I guess Yale University does not feel the need to broadcast.  Even when I was at the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut which placed a lot of people at Yale, we were not allowed to watch television or listen to a radio, but we could read magazines in the library, so I read Time Magazine and Life Magazine in the library along with my school work, when I was too disabled to play sports.  Even at Greenwich Country Day some of the children of the top Time Life people were in my class.  Also at Lake Forest College, R.R. Donnelly published Time Life, and even a Luce family member was in my class.  Another relative of Bennett Cerf was also a roommate on the Farm, and the last time I saw him he was at the Time Life building working the mail room.  At Lake Forest College, they were always saying, "Publish or Parish."  However, a writer is suppose to write from experience, and I really have not had much experience to write about.  I chatted with a relative.  I will now go outside again. There is an old British saying, "You can't beat a dead horse to death."  CIO

04/06/24 Saturday 6:05 A.M.  I moved the portable air conditioner several feet to the left in front of the center living room windows, so its cool air will be directed into the sitting area.  I moved the Ethan Allen recliner and the marine blue ottoman back about nine inches.  I also moved the end table back about nine inches, so the small square end table fits in better in front of it.  I moved the bent oak chair back to in front of the laptops on the left side of the Samsung television.  I moved the folding mahogany chair between the bent oak chair and the portable air conditioner.  I turned the black piano bench around ninety degrees so it now faces the Queen Anne chair.  I moved the octagon end table on the right side of the kitchen entrance to the left about five inches and also the red leather Chesterfield chair, so it is more spacious at the teak dining table.

04/06/24 Saturday 5:15 A.M.  I moved the marine blue ottoman in front of the Ethan Allen recliner, where it is extremely comfortable to relax and put up one's feet to think or watch television.  I moved the bent oak chair to the left of the portable air conditioner underneath the center living room window.  I put the square end table in front of the larger end table, so there is nothing in front of the red leather Chesterfield chair on the right side of the kitchen entrance at the living room entrance area, so that area is now more open. I moved the folding mahogany chair in front of the laptops to the left of the Samsung television.  I turned the black piano bench around ninety degrees, so it faces the bent oak chair and its end faces the Queen Anne chair.   The main reason, I moved the red leather Chesterfield chair away from the portable air conditioner is that it can be a bit noisy in the warmer weather.

04/06/24 Saturday 2:55 A.M.  Using a telephone line connector, a telephone line splitter, and a long telephone line, I was also able to hook up the AT&T two line telephone in the living room sitting area to the Verizon line on the second connector which has the Optimum line on the first connector.  Both Verizon and Optimum lines have unlimited long distance, which I think includes overseas in case some one wants to check out somebody on the other side of the "Pond."  Thus the telephone by the living room desk, the telephone in the living room sitting area, the telephone by the bed in the bedroom, and the telephone in the bathroom are all two line telephones with both Optimum Long Distance and Verizon long distance.  I first got interested in communications, when my second grade class at the Walter Jackson grade school in Decatur, Alabama go to tour the local telephone company which already had big transmission towers for some sort of communications.  They even showed us how one could chat with two Dixie cups tied together with a long piece of thread.  The old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop on Sherwood Place used to be across the street from the Greenwich telephone company, so one could find used office telephones there.  In New York City, I never had my own telephone number, and I only used the telephones of various hosts.  One of the first people I met in Manhattan was from Fort Hood, Texas and lived across the street from a Manhattan telephone exchange and military intelligence down on Varick Street in lower Manhattan.  Two of the people I knew in the New York City area had old steel telephones like were used in government offices or the military.  Last I knew over forty years ago, the person who grew up at Fort Hood was living across the street from the www.forbes.com building and was into making video presentations.  While at www.lakeforest.edu when I lived the last year and a half in Knollwood, Illinois west of town, I was able to have a pay phone put in to save on paying for my roommates' telephone calls.

04/06/24 Saturday 1:45 A.M.  I disconnected the red wall telephone in the kitchen, and I ran a telephone cable from its jack to the Panasonic two line telephone on the left side of the desk, so that telephone now has a Verizon line on the second line with Optimum on the first line.

On Beta Testing the newest Windows betas on older machines, one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows 11 beta 25931 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" .  CIO

03/20/24 Wednesday 12:10 A.M.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought a package of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.59, a package of deli sliced ham for $5.99 a pound for $5.06, and a package of deli sliced Van Kass Dutch gouda cheese for $9.99 a pound $10.24 for $16.89 total.   I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought a nine foot extension cord for $7.79 and a 16 foot extension cord for $10.79 and $1.18 tax for $19.76 total.  I then bought a jar of Maxwell House instant coffee with bonus bucks of $2 from the previous purchase for $2.99 total.  I then drove down to the Board of Education Veterans Monument parking lot, and I watched the construction going on at that location.  I then returned home.  I sat outside.  I used the nine foot extension cord to hook up the pineapple lamp on the right side of the red Chesterfield chair to the central apartment light switch, so it turns off and on with the other lights.  I put the 16 foot extension cord underneath the right front of the bed.  I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.  CIO

03/19/24 Tuesday 9:20 P.M.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, I bought a five gallon bottle of Poland Spring water with bottle return for $9.99.   I then toured www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue.  I then drove down to the Board of Education Parking Lot Veterans Monument, and I sat out for a long time.  The tulips are only half way up.  I bought a www.starbucks.com medium Pike coffee with almond milk and Splenda sweetener for $3.19 off my Starbucks card.   I then drank it in front of the Senior and the Arts Center.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks before and after drinking the coffee.  I walked down Zen Stationary, and I bought a "Line-Em-Up" scratch card for a dollar, and I lost as usual to the Bank of Bombay.  I then viewed the closed www.apple.com store.  I then sat out some more at the Veterans monument.  They have no parking signs on lower Greenwich Avenue for night work by the water company.  I guess they are working on a underground pipe.  I then went to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought six 16 ounce cans of Dole mandarin oranges for $14.19 total.  I then returned home.  I brought the 42 pound bottle of water up with my little folding cart, and I stored it underneath the teak dining table.  I then went outside, and I put the folding cart and the grey bag back in the car.  I sat outside.

I moved the red leather Chesterfield chair to the right side of the kitchen entrance with the small oak table with a pineapple lamp on it to its left.  It is now good for reading.  I moved the end table and the Ethan Allen recliner further towards the living windows with the ottoman on the left side of the ottoman, so that area is now a lot more open from the entry area.  I also moved the folding oak table on the left side of the Queen Anne chair to the right side of the Queen Anne chair with the Ocean Digital Internet radio on top of it and with the Google Display on top of that.

03/19/24 Tuesday 1:45 A.M.  I moved the small oak table from the left side of the desk.  I then turned around the teak dining table, so its long side is on the outside of the wall.  I put the Brother all purpose laser printer and the Panasonic two line telephone on it along with the stuff that was there before.  I moved the Glacier water dispenser from the living room to the far kitchen wall.  I moved the garbage can from there to opposite the refrigerator.  I moved the ottoman to the right side of the kitchen entrance where the Glacier water dispenser was.  I moved the small oak table to the left side of the Ethan Allen recliner.  I think it all works better that way.

See what the French are doing Le Monde in English – World news, culture and opinion .  I learned the last time I visited Paris around 1992 that every resident in Paris entertains on average sixteen visitors a year.  Thus I think France is good at the Tourist Trade.  However, it is just as expensive as here, so one needs to be prepared for sticker shock. When I first visited Europe in 1972, I read, "Europe on Five Dollars a Day."  During the trip in 1992, I read, "Europe on Fifty dollars a day."  I am told now that it is, "Europe on Five Hundred Dollars a Day."  Thus I probably will not be returning back to Europe ever again.

03/04/24 Monday 2:55 A.M.  I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate.  I covered it on one side with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise.  I then alternated it with nine slices of Oscar Meyer deli sliced ham  with six slices of white American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com zero Sugar and a 15 ounce can of sweet peas with Smart Balance spread.  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.

03/02/24 Saturday 7:55 A.M.  I channel surfed.  Jack Benny is still on television here, so I guess Hollywood has not come up with any new films.  I will now shut down the computer.  I will eat a yogurt.  I will then go to bed.  Most people in Manhattan unlike the suburbs do not have televisions, since they have other activities to watch like people watching.  I once saw Jack Benny going into P.J. Clarke's next to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Federal building on Third Avenue and 54th Street.  However, the Federal government does not pay much money by New York City standards, so one of the last times I looked there was a big www.mcdonalds.com across the street from it.  The first time I looked at the new www.fbi.gov building on Pennsylvania Avenue many moons ago, there was also a McDonalds behind it.  Some the meat packers and founders of McDonalds lived in Lake Forest, Illinois where I went to college at www.lakeforest.edu with about a dozen other people from this area.  The last I heard one of them is in charge of Wilmington Trust the Dupont family bank, so maybe he has a few connections still.  CIO

03/01/24 Friday 2:05 A.M.  The Royal House of Norway The Royal House of Norway - English - The Royal House of Norway (royalcourt.no) .  When I arrived in Oslo, Norway by mistake in February 1983 on S.A.S., when I was supposed to be flying to Stockholm, Sweden, they told me my ticket that I paid $800 for at J.F.K. airport which was supposed to be round trip to Sweden and a week's stay at the S.A.S. hotel was only a one way ticket to Sweden.  They told me this at the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo, Norway.  Thus with no money I checked into the Y.M.C.A. across the street from the S.A.S. hotel, and I went to Cat's discothèque in six feet of snow.  All of the Norwegians were wearing full length white leather coats.  They had lots of pictures of the Norwegian race horse and its descendants in the Cat's disco.  After a couple of days, they kicked me out of the Y.M.C.A., and I walked around at night.  I walked into the Best Western Hotel behind the palace, and they put me up, when I gave them my passport.  I think I stayed there for about three weeks.  I only got to eat corn flakes for breakfast at the open buffet.  I also ate Swedish wasa crisps.  I did see the Shell Oil building and the big www.ibm.com building.  I toured both old churches and the Frogmore Park with all of the statues.  I went to a concert at the Peace Hall too.  I used the health club at the S.A.S. hotel. Even though I did not have any money, I had a pretty good time.  I was able to wash my clothes in the bathroom sink and dry them on the heated bathroom floor.  I also went to a student pub in the basement of a old church.  I also toured the library at the University of Oslo.  I also toured the Town Hall.  There were about eight Norwegian cruise ships in the harbor waiting to go south. They told me I would have more fun, if I had flown to Glen Eagles in Scotland.  I visited the S.A.S. hotel night club and they were flying the Texas flag there. I also visited the Bristol Hotel casino.  I chatted with the Royal Norwegians guards outside the palace.  Finally the Best Western Hotel wanted me to pay my bill, so they contacted the United States embassy, and a United States embassy employee took me to the embassy, and they sorted out my paper work and contacted my family.  My father paid my $2,000 bill, and they gave me a return ticket to the United States and a hundred bill which I used to buy two cartons of Prince cigarettes in the Copenhagen airport.  I spent a week homeless at J.F.K. airport and I saw a lot of Easter travelers.  I then contact the friend in Plandome Manor,  Long Island that I built the garage apartment for, and I took the Long Island railroad there, and he gave me a hundred dollar bill, and I then flew from Le Guardia airport back up to Nantucket and returned to working as a dishwashers and pot scrubber at the Le Languedoc restaurant there.  I finally returned to Greenwich on December 13,1983; and I have been back here ever since.  I had a classmate at Greenwich Country Day school who was distantly related to the Norwegian Royal family, and I used to see him a lot around the www.harvard.edu campus when I lived in the Boston area.  Also Fred Von Mierer's apartment at 420 East 49th Street was a block away from the Norwegian and Swedish consulates in the Random House publishing building where Jackie Onassis also worked.  Also Norwegians only have cartoons on television.
