It says here Greenwich resentful of status as state income tax cash cow - GreenwichTime the town of Greenwich, Connecticut residents pays $758 million in state taxes to Connecticut every year and only gets back 1% in benefits.

Since I have lived in Connecticut State housing at 71 Vinci Drive for the last 20 years and for the last 12 years we have had to pay our electric heat bills, and for the last three years I have not been able to afford electric heat, it would seem to me that the state of Connecticut is totally corrupt and run by various Mafia organizations from within New England and New York.  It is like they are trying to freeze me out of the apartment that I live in.  I have made over 500 calls to the www.fbi.gov about various activities in this area over the last five years, and although they listen, they seem to be powerless to do anything about it.  We also know about the various financial crimes committed by area residents, so it leads me to be believe that is just the tip of the iceberg.  What is most conspicuous in downtown Greenwich, Connecticut which I have covered for 26 years since moving off of Nantucket is the Connecticut State Police do not even cover downtown Greenwich, Connecticut despite all of the taxes that the residents pay.  CIO

End of Scott's Notes week of 01/31/10: 

Note: <888> 01/31/10 Sunday 5:20 A.M..  I ate the last piece of pumpkin pie with some watered down punch.  Not much happening here way out in Greenwich, China, but people talking about the price of tea in China.  I suppose we could move back to Greenwich, Russia or Greenwich, England.  There is no point moving back to Greenwich, Connecticut U.S.A., since we do not seem to know anyone there.  From my experience in Greenwich, Connecticut, it is mostly traveling sales people trying to sell people things from other areas.  Whether anyone actually lives there is opened to debate.  The newspaper is controlled by California real estate people and the electronics media is controlled by Texas used car dealers.  I mostly just work the grapevine around here with people who like myself have lived here a long time to see if anyone knows what is really going on.  Greenwich, Connecticut is constantly invaded by New York City people with various senses of reality for no apparent reason.  There are quite a few people in Greenwich, Connecticut from elsewhere in New England trying to sort out some of the comings and goings out of New York City.  From my viewpoint in Greenwich, China; there is really not much happening there.  I once read that Malcolm Pray use to advertise his Volkswagen dealership in the Las Angeles airport to people arriving from Asia, so if you do not need a Volkswagen, there is really no point in going there.  They make Volkswagens in other parts of the world, and from what I can tell, most of the Asian people I saw in Greenwich, Connecticut or here in Greenwich, China are not really interested in the American viewpoint based on their Hollywood sense of reality.  Well have a good morning.

12 degrees Fahrenheit and 21 to 29 degrees Fahrenheit today and mostly sunny.

Prescott Bush was suppose to build a Country Club in Greenwich, China like the Greenwich Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, so if you are wandering around Greenwich, China, and you find a place like this http://mikelouisscottcom.cv.siteprotect.net/Greenwich-Country-Club.jpg you might see the Bushs.  This fact has me confused, since my family were members of the Greenwich Country Club GreenwichCC - Golf & Country Club , and the Bushs were not members of the Greenwich Country Club, but there were members of the Round Hill Club - Welcome which Billy Baldwin help decorate, so possibly the people that one never sees downtown are playing the card game Bridge at the Round Hill Club.  From my viewpoint, it is so dark and desolate in back country Greenwich, Whatever; I worry more about wild animals than people trespassing.

Note: <888> 01/30/10 Saturday 3:10 A.M..  I bought the three pound bag of red potatoes from the Stop and Shop for $2.99 on Thursday, January 21, 2010.  About three days ago, they developed sprouts, which I do not think hurt one.  However, recently whenever I have breakfast when I wake up, I had been having diarrhea.  Possibly I thought it might be caused by my fruit punch mixture and the milk in the oatmeal and coffee, but it could be something like the over ripe red potatoes.  Still I am bothered by the fact that somebody entered my apartment without my permission for unknown reasons.  The building custodian does have a master key and his wife was downstairs, when I came in after throwing out the garbage this evening, but he is well paid, and I do not think he would need to take a small bag of red potatoes.  I did not see him, but I assume he was around, since his wife was here.  The building custodian frequently thinks I am George W. Bush for some odd reason, thus possibly if somebody that looks like George W. Bush is in the area, he might be trying to take advantage of my living situation, when I am not in my apartment.  I do know when the real George W. Bush shows up, one can not miss him because they tend to keep security around former Presidents, so more than likely it would be some sort of imposter.  CIO

Note: <888> 01/30/10 Saturday 2:45 A.M..  What bothers me about 1.5 pounds of over ripe red potatoes disappearing from my apartment this past evening while I was out for about 5 to 10 minutes while the apartment was locked, is that it shows that somebody else who has keys to my apartment gained access to it.  I worry that they might tamper with my computer equipment or my food or drink.  There is not really too much else of value in the apartment by today's standards, but it is my comfortable living apartment.

I know a rather large person that was the first person to visit my apartment and that was Roger Schultz, and the last time I saw him, he was rather large.

I ate a piece of pumpkin pie. 

Washington D.C. is suppose to have snow showers and be 19 to 21 degrees Fahrenheit, so they could enjoy some ice conditions down there too, which might bring the Federal Government to a complete stand still.   Possibly we would not have any defense infrastructure working, so possibly another foreign government if they had the opportunity could invade the Nations Capitol.  More than likely that would not happen, since from what I could see down there, there is not much worth invading for, unlike some other foreign capitols in the world.  CIO

I went by the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop.  They had a 20 inch November 1998 Sony Trinitron color television there without the remote control for $25.  I told them I would buy it.  I went by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank just south of the central Greenwich Post Office.  I said hello to a regular walker that was going to Griff Harris insurance to try to get lower car insurance rates.  I use to use them, until the rates got too high.  I then got my Audi, and I parked it by the Merry Go Round Mews Thrift shop, and I used my small folding cart and towel to protect the screen to load the Sony television.  I paid them $25 cash.  A lot of the items at the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop are 50% off.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop.  They have some very nice items, but they do not appear to carry electronics anymore.  I then returned home.  I used the small folding cart to bring up the Sony television to my apartment.

The 20 inch RCA Thomson Electronics Proscan television made in January 1997 that was in my kitchen was turning on with a very fuzzy picture, and it takes 30 seconds to a minute to clear up, and then it looks just fine.  I figured it might be going bad, and since I like a 20 inch TV in the kitchen, I removed the RCA Proscan, and I installed the 20 inch Sony Trintron to the left of the refrigerator, where it fits in just fine. I selected the automatic adjustment button in setup, and it tuned itself.  Although I leave it on channel 3 all of the time to get the Digital Cable feed.  I programmed the RCA SystemLink 4 Universal Remote with this page RCA SystemLINK Remote Progamming .  The method did not work at first, when I sat six feet away from the Sony Television, but it worked fine, when I was about a foot away from the television, so I now having it work on the RCA remote control. 

I then took the old RCA Proscan out with the small folding cart, and I put it by the dumpster.  I left a note on it that it works, but it might be going bad, since it takes 30 seconds to a minute to clear up.  I bought the same television 20 years ago at County Appliance for $359 down from $559.  It is a high resolution television, so if it did not fail, it has a very clear picture.  The one I just threw out, I bought about a year and a half ago at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop for $40.  I picked up the mail.   CIO

Walgreens over in Old Greenwich is opened 24 hours a day 7 days a week as is the CVS nearby at the Riverside Shopping Plaza.  CVS carries Bulger and Tops cigarette tobacco in 6 ounce cans for about $30.

I noticed at Walgreens that they have three different varieties of pipe tobacco in 12 ounce bags for $18.99 a bag.  I could not tell if it could by used for RYO tobacco in cigarettes.

I watched the end of the movie "Ice Station Zebra".

Not much ever happens up here in the tundra of Connecticut in the winter.  We just do our simple maintenance routines around home.  I guess so many people have left the area to go south, that we are sort of the skeleton crew left around here to keep an eye on anything that needs to be done.  However, at my older age of 59 years old, I have been advised that I should not go out late at night or during the early morning hours walking around, so I am just maintaining my simple routines around the apartment, while I am on a night schedule. 

Not many people in the New York City area ever venture further north out here, so we mostly just see people from the Rye and Stamford areas, and a few people from Westchester County.

After living in the remote areas of Key West and Nantucket, this area seems busier to me than it probably does to the New York City people whom might venture out here on weekends for a change.

Most New York City people do not watch television, so when they come out here, they are probably coming out here for a simple change to the country.

It is currently 23 degrees Fahrenheit with afternoon showers and a temperature range of 41 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Since Greenwich, Connecticut has become very expensive, I suppose that some of the people that use to live here have moved further out into the country in Connecticut.  The younger people still venture around late at night and during the early morning hours, so there is probably some night life activity around here somewhere for the younger people.

I have plenty of periodical literature to catch up reading.  Since it is suppose to rain this afternoon, I will probably not be going out, whenever I wake up today. 

Of course this winter, I am having a better winter than the last two winters, since I am using electric heat in the living room, which I could not afford to use during the previous two winters.  The Greenwich, Connecticut department of social services is suppose to help me make up the difference for the additional electricity.

You have to remember, my only luxuries are really cigarettes and the computers with the internet.  I never have any funds for any other activity other than sitting out and walking downtown.  Of course the internet keeps me busy, but I sometimes think that there might be more to life out there in the larger world.  However, it is a relaxing activity, and one does not have to deal with the confusion of venturing into Manhattan which can also be very expensive.  From my perspective Manhattan does not even exist, and for that matter the rest of New York City.

Basically, when one lives in New York City and does not have much money, it is just a lot of walking around in circles, where at least out here I have a car for my errands, and I have my simple necessities of life.  Thus it is better to have a more comfortable lifestyle out here than all of the distractions of the so called culture of Manhattan.

Having lived there, before I do not miss it at all.

Of course walking around out in the cold is a lot colder than driving around in a warm car.

I guess the reason that nobody networks with me is that they do not feel comfortable with computer people whom they probably consider to be a bit strange in terms of their more sedate routines of casual reading.

I have read enough in my life that I feel I am not missing too much by not reading all of the time.  However, I do not feel like I have had enough lifestyle experience to be of any worth as a writer, although during the days that I drank alcohol, I thought writing might be an interesting career.

The technical aspects of the computers and the internet have taken up a lot of my free time during the last 20 years.  As I have said many times, if I had have the money, I could have built a nice home or some other display of all of my work.  Once one turns off the computers in the apartments, there is not much to show for all of my work but blank monitor screens.

I still have the dark circles underneath my eyes, which comes from looking at the monitors all of the time.

I do not pay much attention to U.S.A. politics, since it tends to be like a non stop soap opera.

Of course, the U.S. government has a lot of office works, so they are probably using this technology too.

Whether anyone looks at their content is opened to debate.

I noticed on television more people seem to be wearing black suits instead of casual clothes, but dressing up better does not make people any smarter than they were in casual clothes.

In buying the two Premier cigarette rolling machines and the 20 cartons of cigarette tubes and the 14 plastic cigarette pack cases and stocking up on the nine pounds of tobacco this month, I have spent $566.51 in my RYO cigarette activities.  Hopefully the tobacco will last me a few months.  I might need to buy some more cigarette tubes in a couple of months.

There are a lot fat bubbas down in Florida, because a lot of food is produced down south.  Of course for health reasons, a lot of the seniors try to stay thinner. 

Since I have lived down south and as well as up north, I try to stay in touch with family down south, but frequently their experiences and reality is much more different than mine. 

Also my experiences on my own in Florida are a bit more different too, since I did not have much income, when I was down there on my own from September 1976 to April 1977, October 1977 to May 1978, December 1978 to April 1979, and a brief visit on my own in January and February 1982 as well as October 1983.  Florida seems friendly at first, but without much money it quickly turns against one.

We are doing better now than the last recession in the 1970s, when I only weighed a 130 pounds.  Back then a big lunch amongst the celebrity group in Manhattan was a water kress salad with Dijon vinaigrette dressing and a glass of white wine.  Dinner was usually Fettuccini Alfredo with a glass of white wine at the Isle of Capri at Third Avenue and 61st street or Dover sole stuffed with crab meat dressing and a few tips of asparagus at the Spring Street restaurant in SoHo.  Many times, we just survived on a 8 ounce Danon yogurt.  When we felt hungry we would go the Riviera cafe or the Buffalo Road house in Greenwich Village when one got a six ounce hamburger with home fries.  Also Melons and the place just north of it has the same burger.  Early morning breakfasts after hanging out all night were Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine at the Greenwich Restaurant on Greenwich Street or an omelet at David's Pot Belly on Christopher street in Greenwich Village.  However, for a couple of dollars more, you could have the same eggs uptown at the Brasserie at the Seagram's building.  My two primary meals at the delis were a liverwurst sandwich or if I had more money a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll.  Sometimes, I would enjoy Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips nearby the Russian consulate in Manhattan.  For a while I lived near the meat packing district, but there were no cheap places to eat there except the Empire Diner.  The cheapest food, I knew was a Souvlaki stand on University Place just north of 13th street.  The Metropolitan Museum use to serve a roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes and beans and salad and ice tea at their cafeteria for $6.95 on Tuesday nights, so I guess some people thought I was rich.  The www.mcdonald.com hamburgers once they arrived in Manhattan were always over cooked and too dry and smaller than in the suburbs.  Rockefeller University had an inexpensive cafeteria where one could get and apple and yogurt and carton of milk for about $2.  George Cary's parents once took me to the River Club for dinner with his cousin, and we had a big roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding, and I recall drinking and relaxing and enjoying a few drinks of Southern Comfort with his cousin.  There use to be a small restaurant on Madison Avenue and 67th street that serves eggs and bacon and toast with orange juice for about $3.  At Madison Avenue and 78th street there was a cafeteria that served a good dinner for about $5.  Also there was a 24 hour automat at Third avenue and 42nd street.  Churchill's had a good burger at 70th street and Third Avenue like Melons and that place just north of it.  At Beekman Place and First Avenue and 50th street, there was a Greek coffee shop that served a standard breakfast for about $3.  One could have a croissant and a cup of coffee at the Citicorp Plaza for less than $2. Just west of Washington Square there were two coffee shops with one called the Pink Tea Cup and the other called The Bagel that served standard breakfasts of eggs, bacon, English muffin, orange juice, and coffee.  I ate at Down on the Farm in the West Village a couple of times as well as the Waverly Inn on Waverly Street, and south of Bedford Street at Commerce and Barrow streets was the Old Dutch Tavern that served two pork chops and vegetables for about $4.  I never found any cheap places to eat on Wall Street.  There was a vegetarian restaurant in the Village called The Front Porch.  Just south of the Dutch Deli at Third Avenue and about 82nd street there was a Hungarian restaurant that served Goulash for about $3.  East of 86th street and Third Avenue, there was a Philadelphia Steak sandwich place.  Driving out of New York City in the early morning hours after the pubs closed, I used to stop at a fresh bagel shop and buy a half dozen bagels for 15 cents each, and as I recall it was at Third Avenue and 74th street.  I only ate at Ray's Famous pizza uptown and downtown a few times.  I once ate at the TexArkansas restaurant, and I saw the Secretary of Defense there.  I recall eating at Daly's Daffodil and Daly's Dandelion quite a few times with your usual burger items.  One was at First Avenue and 59th street and the other was at Third Avenue and 60th street across from Yellow Fingers.  I ate a number of times at the Carnegie Deli next to Carnegie Hall or maybe it was the Russian Tea Room.  When I first arrived in Manhattan and in the earlier days, there was a Shraffts on Fifth Avenue.  I once ate at Pearls downtown on 2nd Avenue and the East Village.  I use to drink Sangria at the Bethesda Fountain cafe in Central Park.  I ate at Cafe Des Artists just off Central Park West and about 68th street.  I use to have a cup of coffee at the Watson Business school library at Columbia University.  I ate at Pizza Uno behind the Natural History Museum.  There are probably a few other places that I ate at too.  The Dover sole was always at the Spring Street restaurant in SoHo.  CIO

According to an inside source, the last of the few people with a little bit of money left are still trying to network at the www.yale.edu club in Manhattan on the west side of Grand Central station.

I suppose all of the unemployed PC computer people in this area could network together and go up to Armonk and hold a protest in front of the www.ibm.com world headquarters in Armonk, New York, since they are supposedly still making a lot of money hiring foreigners instead of Unites States of America citizens.  However, they have always ignore me, although having lived here most of my life, my family knew the Watson family along with quite a few other people who might have connections with other companies.  However, the corporate elite here in Greenwich, Connecticut are all probably pushing up tulips or they have retired down south.  All we seem to be left with is younger financial people whom are suppose to know what they are doing business wise, but they seem to have a different business back ground and educational back ground from what I use to know many years ago.  CIO

I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a 50% to 50% mixture of fruit juice punch and cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with splenda and milk.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.

When I was downtown yesterday afternoon, Greenwich Avenue was deserted of people.  I guess nobody has any money to afford to go downtown during the Obama recession.  Since I have a good working environment at home, I feel it is best to stay at home and to keep working on the computers, which is what most people whom are computer savy do in this area.  There is not really anything downtown on Greenwich Avenue to keep me busy but a simple exercise walk which I have done so many times during the last 26 years, people seem to think I have some sort of official function like the town greeter.  Since the local schools get out earlier on Fridays, more than a few of the local youth are downtown trying to generate some activity amongst the local business community.  CIO

Not much happening here at Siberia Sam's Social Club.  I guess the rich people in Greenwich, Connecticut with their four wheel drive vehicles have gone down south for the winter, leaving behind the skeleton crew to keep an eye out for the town.

I noticed when I was walking by the old police station yesterday, that to be finger printed, one has to go to the new police station behind it.  According to another local walker, one has to be finger printed and have their record run which costs about $35 to get local employment in Greenwich, Connecticut.  I guess with all of the foreign workers here in town, they need to run back ground checks on them.

When I drove a taxi cab while at www.lfc.edu in Lake Forest, Illinois which is a lot colder than Greenwich, Connecticut in the period from 1969 to 1971, I had to be finger printed at the Lake Forest, Illinois Public Safety building and my finger prints have been on record with the www.fbi.gov since then.

Traditionally from experience, when ever I buy a fresh pineapple in the winter in Greenwich, Connecticut, it snows, but recently it has been snowing, when I do not buy a fresh pineapple.

I have a lot of friends in the area, but they can not afford to live in the very affluent area of Greenwich, Connecticut, so I do not hear from them much anymore. 

I suppose if one had money, you could spend the winter down in Australia or New Zealand, but that would cost a lot of money to get there.

Well, anyway I am a back on a daytime schedule.  We're suppose to have snow showers and flurries all day, so there is no point in venturing out into the local tundra downtown just to see who whom is hanging out at Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue.

I used up the other half of the 6 ounce can of Tops light cigarette tobacco, and I rolled five more packages of 17 cigarettes.  There were 13 tubes left, so I guess with the longer 100 mm tubes, one only gets 187 cigarettes.

One does not use the last bit of the can of fine dusty tobacco, because that can jam the Premier machine.  One only uses the dry stringy cigarette tobacco.  One can not use damp pipe tobacco.  If one should jam the machine, one has to use a non metallic probe to unjam the machine.  I filled out the warranty card, and I have it ready to mail in.

Generally with all of the Latino people around here, they are not too functional in very cold weather, particularly if their cars do not start.  However, the ones from the mountains in Columbia and Peru and Equator and Argentina and Chile and southwestern Brazil and Uruguay and Paraguay seem use to dealing with the colder weather, but with limited English, they may not know how to use our equipment, and frequently they do not have the local knowledge that the generations of Northern Europeans that have lived here for over 400 years seem to have.

Who knows, maybe they all headed South of the Border.  CIO 

Note: <888> 01/03/10  Sunday 9:30 A.M..  I ate the same Dinty Moore dinner that I had earlier with watered down punch.  Starbucks is still now answering, so I guess with the current temperature outside at 17 degrees Fahrenheit, they have not made it into work.  CIO

I have a theory when the area of New York City about 20 miles west of us goes to work, it generates a lot of heat, and since the wind tend to blow from west to east around here, it warms up the Greenwich, Connecticut area, but when they quit working it gets colder here.

Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue at 1-203-661-3042 Starbucks Store Locator Greenwich, Connecticut U.S.A. is not answering their telephone this morning, when they should be opened, so their cars probably did not start in the colder weather.  I tried twice and nobody answered.  CIO

Note: <888> 01/02/10  Saturday 7:50 A.M..  I went out, and I drove downtown.   There does not appear to be any black ice in the downtown area, and the roads are clear.  There is not much moving around except the usual morning garbage trucks.  I mailed the large envelope at the central Greenwich Post Office.  I also got their last available Priority Mail envelope to have in reserve.  I sat out briefly, and Starbucks appears to have their usual regular customers.  The flag over the Senior and the Arts center if flying at half staff, but the rest of the flags in the downtown area are still at full staff.  Yes, we still fly the United States of America Stars and Strips that are red, white, and blue with 50 stars in the upper left corner.  A couple of the flag poles also have the Prisoner of War black and white flags underneath.  After observing the downtown area, which looks pretty normal for that time of the morning, I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  It looks pretty normal down there too.  I still think the Danish government should buy Victor Borge's old piece of vacant 3.8 acres of land in Belle Haven, Connecticut and use if for a consulate for its New York delegation.  I think they want about $40 million for it.  I would imagine they are quite bored with the way Manhattan treats Nordic people considering Manhattan tends to be cold in the winter too.  I then returned home via my usual route.  I have a feeling with the major recession and depression worldwide, now that the Holiday season is over, this area will tend to a lot quieter like it was last year during the colder period.  I only go for walks downtown after I first wake up and have breakfast and clean up.  I do not go for walks at the end of my day.  It always seems to be that daytime people seem to think they have some sort of authority over night time people.  I have to remind you half the world's population dies at night, so it tends to keep a few other people busy at night, whom you may not notice as being around too much.  CIO

Note: <888> 01/02/10  Saturday 4:15 A.M..  Up in North Salem, New York where the last of the Kennedys with money lives, and where the Sons of Oslo have a lodge after they moved out of Byram, Connecticut, there is a delicatessen just west of the Hardscrabble Road exit off I-684 that sells a lot of different imported beers including one called "Swedish Wolf".  A little further west, there is a local pub called the "Horse and Hounds".  Thus it tends to an equestrian crowd up there, which is why my friend George Cary is up there all of the time.  I think William Randolph Hearst and Ulysses S. Grant also once had homes there as did Paul Newman and Stewart Mott.  Apparently today it is mostly Jewish people from New York City, since they are the only ones whom can afford to pay the high real estate taxes on their horse farms in Westchester County, New York.  More than likely, there a few private people left up that way too.  I was once told that the Mrs. Vanderbilt that owned the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island also had a house in South Salem, New York.  My friends from South Africa also own a small shopping mall complex up there.  However, it tends to be pretty rural up there, so there are not too many conveniences nearby, for the people that live there.  Near I-684 and Hardscrabble Road, there is an A&P and Mercedes Benz dealership just west of the exit.  There are also a lot of other estates in the neighboring area of Bedford, New York, and a few other places that people do not seem to know much about.  Since most of Caroline Kennedy's fortune is derived from the Onassis fortune from Greece, she should give some money to some Greek charities in America, if you get my drift.  CIO

I chatted with a relative, and I showered, and I cleaned up.

I went out, and I went by the Chase Bank ATM just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue.  I checked out the plumbing fixtures next door at the Water Works.  The Barcelona cafe looked busy.  I then drove over to CVS at the Riverside Shopping Plaza.

I bought two 3.25 ounce Old Spice high endurance original scent deodorants for $2 each, two Crest Pro Whitening 4.2 ounce toothpaste for $2.75 each, two 10.3 ounce Dawn with jasmine and lavender dish washing detergent for .99 each, two 15 ounce VO5 herbal shampoo for .99 each, two 15 ounce VO5 herbal conditioner for .99 each, a 120 wipe can of Innovera screen wiping wipes  to clean LCD screens for $5.29, a 6 ounce can of Tops light cigarette tobacco for $28.39 with a dollar off coupon and $2.89 Connecticut Sales tax for $51.01 total.

I put my purchases in the car.  I had $5.50 in CVS bonus bucks that I got from the previous purchase, so I bought a 50 ounce bottle of Tide with bleach alternative for $5.88 and a 6 ounce can of Bugler cigarette tobacco for $30.89 less $5.50 in CVS bonus bucks on the Tide and $1.88 Connecticut 6% sales tax for $33.15 total.  I then put my purchases in the car, and I next used the bathroom at CVS.

I then drove back to the Not So Busy center of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out, and I smoked my pipe.  As I departed I noticed the Thataway cafe was opened along with the movie theatre.  I could not tell whether McDuffs was opened are not.  While at CVS, I chatted briefly with a young fellow on crutches with a cast on his leg, and he told me he got in a car wreck on New Years morning, when he skidded on Black Ice.  With the warmer thawing conditions in the daytime around here, and with the freezing conditions at night, we can get black ice particularly in back country where it is colder.

I next returned home.  I brought up my purchases.  I will put them away shortly.  I copied my Connecticut Emissions information, and I put the original back in the glove box of the Audi, and I put the copy with my other automobile information in the bedroom.  CIO
