Note: <888> 04/30/11 Saturday 8:35 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I put away the laundry.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/30/11 Saturday 7:50 P.M.  I woke up at 3 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I chatted with two friends and a relative.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I put clean linens on my bed.  I stored away the winter comforters and blankets, and I put the summer lighter blankets and summer quilt on the bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I started two loads of laundry.  I have 20 minutes left to go on the dry cycles.  I picked up the mail.  I received a form letter from my new state worker at the Connecticut Department of Social Services that my food stamps had been discontinued as of the first of May 2011, because they had not received the redetermination form that I sent in on February 25, 2011.  I was told by the head supervisor there back in March 2011 that the long form that I send in later in March 2011 would solved the problem, and I received a form letter from my previous state worker on April 1, 2011 that my food stamps would be continued.  I left two messages with my new Connecticut State worker and one message with my Town of Greenwich Social worker.  I took the six yellow tulip bulbs out of the pot, and I put them by the garden in the back yard to be replanted there if the gardener wants to do that.  I transplanted the aloe plant into the larger tulip pot, and I added some MiracleGro potting soil.  I put the aloe plant on the small folding table by the hallway entrance.

Note: <888> 04/30/11 Saturday 4:25 A.M.  I watched the tele.  Well, I guess now that there is no more news for a while, we can get some rest.  These big news days tend to wear out the communications people.  Of course with the higher prices of gasoline in America, possibly more people are staying home and watching television, reading books or surfing the internet.  Of course, one can always keep busy with household chores.  I tend to wear out more quickly as I am about to reach age 61 on May 9, 2011.  I guess it might get busier around here, when some of the old guard from Florida venture north around the first of June.  I guess once I wake up later on today, I will probably do laundry, but frequently once I fall asleep, I can sleep for a longer period of time, and it takes quite a while for me to get going for the day.  I suppose if I were on a daytime schedule, which I will be next week, I have to deal with a lot more activity around here.  There is not much to report on, since I maintain simple routines.  Whenever, it gets busier around here, it is usually because people from Manhattan come out here for the weekend, and they seem to be use to leading busier lifestyles.  I noticed this past evening that CVS on Greenwich Avenue closes at 10 P.M., and Starbucks closes at 11 P.M. on weekdays.   There was not very much traffic, so I guess with the higher prices of fuel, people are not cruising around aimlessly at night.  I combined my trip to the grocery store with my walk downtown.  Of course there are people whom work around here at night, particularly at the Greenwich Hospital which obviously is staffed 24 hours a day.

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Note: <888> 04/27/11 Wednesday 4:45 A.M.  I ate some chili with beans and rice and watered down punch.  One of the original people I chatted with on the internet, when I first went online with a telephone modem over fifteen years ago was a Scottish engineer.  I explained to him what my back ground was, and he told me I should say I am an engineer, but I do not have any educational degrees in engineering.   Back then I also chatted with somebody up in Disco Island in Greenland which is pretty far north.  People do not seem to like to chat over the internet anymore, although it is much faster than it was in the old days.  I do know English which is pretty common around the world, but most people do not seem to have time to chat anymore during the early morning hours.  I have kept my web log for a long time, but it seems there are not many people whom read it, but it is obviously based on my own experience.  Well, working on the internet at home is more interesting than going over to a pub in White Plains, New York, and watching www.ibm.com play 50 cent computer games, which is all I saw them doing in the old days, but there were quite a few night people there from other professions including a few of the traveling public.  I have to reboot a minute after updates.  I put the Lasko box fan on top of the white wicker breakfast tray in front of the living room air conditioner to blow the cool air around more.  I have not done a good apartment cleaning since Christmas time, so probably sometime in May, I should do Spring House Cleaning.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 5:55 P.M.  I found the other Panasonic air conditioner knob.  It had rolled underneath the right side of the bed, when I lifted it into position.  I like have the living room window opened this time of year for fresh air, but it is a bit warm in the living room at 82 degrees Fahrenheit.  I can install the air conditioner in the living room in less than an hours time, but since it will be cooler later on in the week, I will think about it for a day or two, since I would like to try to save a bit on energy, until I have to use them both.  I pulled down the living room shade another 18 inches, so the direct sun from the west will not come in as much this time of day.  CIO 

Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 5:30 P.M.  I went outside, and I picked up the mail.  I brought up my folding cart from the rear of the Audi.  I used it to move the Panasonic 12,000 BTU air conditioner into the bedroom from the living room.  Installed it in the bedroom window, and I installed Plexiglas on the left hand side of it, and I sealed it with duct tape and a strip of foam rubber.  It works just fine.  However, somehow one of the two knobs has disappeared, so I only have a knob on the fan switch, and I left the thermostat on 10.  However, I can change the knobs from between positions, if I need to use the knob on the thermostat switch.  I looked around, but I can not find the second knob.  I went outside, and I put the cart back into the trunk of the Audi.  I chatted with neighbors.  The upload is not working for my remote server site for some odd reason, so I can not post my notes there.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/22/11 Friday 7:15 P.M.  In Western Europe, where they have a billion people, there is not as much food, so they tend to eat smaller less nourishing portions.  The last time I was there in 1992 for the Winter Olympics at Albertville, France, at Albertville, France for the two weeks we were there, we ate dinner every night at the cafeteria setup for the 50,000 communications workers it took to set up the events that are watched by two billion people.  We ate fettuccini alfredo every night with steamed vegetables and a slices of French bread with butter and a glass of white wine and coffee all of which was about $10.  Thus for Americans use to eating a lot of meat, they probably would be hungry.  I recall on a day side trip to Geneva, Switzerland, at www.mcdonalds.com there two regular cheese burgers with a small French Fries and a small coke was $20 U.S.. I saw signs there at the John Bull steak house advertising a 6 ounce Delmonico steak there for dinner for a $100.  Thus food is a lot more expensive in western Europe.  When Europeans come here, they tend to be thinner with less weight, and they probably enjoy eating our abundant cheaper food.

Today is a Good Friday a major holiday in the Christian Calendar.  Today is also Earth Day, so possibly to Save the Planet, we all have to stay inside and not use our cars and let the children walk around downtown and play.  I guess it is permissible for bicycle riders to venture out into the wilderness in this area.  On www.foxnews.com , Mike Reagan www.reagan.com is worried that Donald www.trump.com will run as an Independent and split the republican vote in the 2012 Presidential election.  Maybe it is time we got some Fresh Blood into the Republican Party with a Younger group of conservatives instead of the same individuals that lost the election in 2008.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/22/11 Friday 2:25 A.M.  Since I had connections with www.sears.com that owned Allstate Insurance, I was able to cash $20 checks at Sears stores in 1976 to get down to Florida.  An amused relative up north paid for them.  Brian Hibbs whom was one of the first people I met in Fort Lauderdale was from Cheshire, Connecticut, and he grew up as a townie around the www.yale.edu campus, so he was street smart.  His father worked for the John Hancock Insurance Company, and Wiley liked Brian.  If one has ever been to Chicago as opposed to the John Hancock Insurance building in Boston where all of the windows popped out of it, the John Hancock Insurance building in Chicago behind the Drake Hotel is well built with cross braced steel beams making for odd looking apartments.  They did that for protection against the Chicago winds.  They do call it the Windy City.  My father had an apartment in the John Hancock building in Chicago, and Alex Gardiner who use to monitor Greenwich for John D. Rockefeller III also had an apartment in the John Hancock building in Chicago.  John D. Rockefeller III's legal address in the Unites States of America is the Drake Hotel in Chicago, so somebody might remember him there.  More than likely some Rockefellers know some other people like the Rothschilds, so don't give up your day job trying to get ahead with the Rothschilds.  I was wandering today if Abby rent a car is named after Abby Rockefeller.  The Rockefellers developed Daytona, Florida as their winter retreat.  They also developed the Doral Corporation which managed a lot of resorts in Florida.  Possibly they even own part of the company that makes Doral Cigarettes called R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.  A relative of a relative is related to the Reynolds family that produces tobacco.  There is also a Reynolds street down in Key West just west of Roosevelt Boulevard and East of Truman Avenue.  Judging by the names down there, it is pretty much controlled by the democrats.  Also the original project in Key West, when the Marriott Corporation rebuilt the Casa Marina Hotel, it was financed by the Equitable Life Insurance from Chicago, so that is another Illinois connection.  It gets very cold in the Midwest in the winter, so a lot of people go down south for the winter.  The oldest condo on the beach in Fort Lauderdale is called the Illini.

In world history, there is the Romanoff family from Russia, and possibly they met up with the Rothschild, Rockefeller, and Roosevelt families, because they were all around each other in some location that everyone was alphabetized.  Either that, or they all of have connections with Rome.  CIO  

Note: <888> 04/22/11 Friday 1:35 A.M.  Of course, when I was in Florida, I covered the whole east coast of the state, and I also visited the Bahamas which is better, until one runs out of money.  I also spent quite a bit of time consulting on rebuilding Key West trying to make it look like Nantucket.  The few British that I ran into were friendly, but usually broke.  The Americans were not interested in poor snow birds.  I networked with other people my age from up north.  Jimmy Eldert had a strong Florida connection, since his grandfather had the house next to Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne, Florida.  Wiley Middleton a local Florida resident since World War I had done the camping trip with Flagler, Edison, Ford, and Firestone.  Wiley was suppose to be one of the largest land owners in Florida.  He told me in 1976, he was buying everything he could from the Chase Bank up north of 25 cents on the dollar.  He also knew Arthur Vining Davis whom was another large land owner in Florida.  In Key West, I tried to remain inconspicuous, but my original only friend down there was from the DuPont family, so nobody really bought it.  John Bolton claimed he was the architect on the Casa Marina Hotel project which was going at a snail's pace.  Jimmy Eldert showed up the second winter in 1978 with more friends, but he gave up on Key West, and he hitchhiked out of Key West with a blue duffle bag to California, where he ended up in Santa Cruz, California.  Brian Hibbs from Fort Lauderdale and Cheshire, Connecticut showed up once in Key West while I was there, and I also had driven down there with him on Halloween in 1976 for a day, when nobody was there.  Hurley Haywood once showed up in Key West for a High Tea party.  Basically if somebody was there, you tended to bump into them.  I once ran into a friend of one of my sisters whom was a White House photographer, and being a photographer, she recognized me, despite the fact that I was darkly tanned.  Any resort gets so many tourists, that you tend to deal with the people, one sees on a regular basis as opposed to the constant visitors.  It is much like that on Greenwich Avenue.  CIO 

Note: <888> 04/22/11 Friday 12:40 A.M.  When I returned to Nantucket in the summer of 1976 after the Tall Ships in New York Harbor, I had my 1966 blue Chevrolet Biscayne four door sedan with my vintage Schwinn Bicycle in the trunk and all of my good clothes, so I was more upscale than the summer before.  I stayed at the Pollard's guest house near the White Elephant, and I parked my Schwinn Bicycle at the White Elephant, so it looked like I was staying there.  However, after about a week I ran low on money, so I camped out in the car for another week.  I finally left the island, and I think I returned to Greenwich.  Later on around the third week of September 1976, I drove down to Florida on my own for the first time, and ended up homeless sleeping in my car in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when my unemployment checks did not come through for six months.  Around mid April 1977, I returned back to Nantucket with the same old blue Chevrolet after a miserable winter in Florida.  I gave the car to the Nantucket thrift shop, and most of my good clothes.  I had stored the Schwinn bicycle in a barn in Norwich, Vermont with my other belongings including my Rolex watch that disappeared I think from there.  I left the island for the Seabrook demonstration hitch hiking, and I also left it another time to go Stowe, Vermont to clean up the bar Sister Kates owned by Nantucket employers.  Thus I was out on Nantucket working in restaurants that summer until about Thanksgiving, when I left Nantucket with John Cooper, and I picked up my stuff in Norwich, Vermont with a U-Haul trailer, and I stored it at a family house in the Philadelphia area.  I departed with the U-Haul truck and John Cooper around New London, Connecticut with John going back to Nantucket, and I hitchhiked back down to Florida for another miserable winter starving.  I returned to Nantucket around mid May 1978 with John Bolton, and I went back to work in restaurants and house painting.  In October 1978, I left Nantucket with John Bolton in a $150 yellow Subaru station wagon that I had put a new clutch in, and we drove out to California and back down to Florida.  In the spring of 1979, we returned back to Nantucket, and we did some carpentry for a couple of weeks, and then left the island.  I think we did drive up to Cape Cod later that summer.  As I recall I did not return back to Nantucket on my own until Easter of 1983, when I worked out there until the first week of December 1983, before returning back to Greenwich with side trips to Florida and Canada.  I returned once back to Nantucket for a weekend stay with Richard Van Marter around July 1987.  Thus I have not been back to Nantucket ever sense, but it seems rather strange in Manhattan, I kept meeting people from Nantucket.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/21/11 Thursday 8:05 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I picked up a prescription.  I then went further downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played an Aces High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I sat out at various locations.  They have three new iron elephant sculptures and a iron turtle sculpture in front of the senior and the arts center.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I remembered there use to be a French restaurant in Manhattan called the Rothschild Giraffe.  The Apple computer store is still closed because of flood damage.  I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store to shoot the breeze with the staff.  I stopped by CVS again, and I bought one 2.5 ounce Gold Emblem garlic powder for .88, two 3.3 ounce Gold Emblem ground black pepper for .88 each, and three 1 ounce Gold Emblem Italian seasoning for .88 each for $5.28.  I said hello to another regular Dutch person on Greenwich Avenue.  I told him that Guy Rothschild's second wife and widow is a Dutch catholic, so she might have inherited some money.  My father and his third wife once gave a life size solid gold statue to the www.vatican.va , when they earned a bit of money building an oil refinery.  I guess that was because his third wife was catholic.  I used the bathroom at CVS, when I was there a second time.  After my walk, I sat out for a while.  The tulips are out at the Greenwich Post Office plaza, and they are pinkish.  I next for a change of pace, I went by the A&P Fresh.  While there I chatted with a few neighbors.  They have a first rate store with a lot of deluxe items.  They no longer carry the America's Choice fish sticks and fish cakes though.  I bought a head of broccoli for $1.67, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, and fresh Dole bananas for .79 a pound for $1.15 for $5.81 total.  While I exiting the store, I noticed they have lots of pots of red tulips for three pots of six tulips for $10 or $3.33 each pot.  I bought one of the few remaining pots of yellow tulips with three partially opened and three about to open bulbs for $3.33 and .20 tax for $3.53 total.  They don't sell quahogs at the A&P Fresh.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I have a survey to do for the Greenwich Department of Social Services.  I chatted with the building custodian.  I put away my purchases.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 3:35 P.M.  How does one find Quahogs for Quahog chowder in Nantucket.  It is quite complicated.  First one has to give up smoking cigarettes in Greenwich, Connecticut in April and be a neighbor of the Rockefellers and Bushs.  Then one has to camp out at Conyers Farm for three months swimming in the lake out there, until one becomes a good swimmer.   Once one becomes a good enough swimmer to swim the whole length of the lake in about July, one returns back to one's comfortable Greenwich house and bakes six loaves of rye bread for food to travel with, and then one can hitchhike up to Cape Cod.  However, one has to be given a ride by a Coast Guard helicopter pilot who lives in a trailer up around Borne.  Then one hitchhikes to Woods Hole, and the local episcopal priest sends you to stay at the Poor House run by the Episcopal Church in Borne on the harbor, where they have lots of government surplus food.  Then after the Fourth of July, one has to sneak on to the Martha's Vineyard Ferry from Woods Hole.  Then one hitchhikes out to Edgartown, and Phil Silvers and his wife give you a lift.  Then one starts walking around the island and on the south shore road, you camp out in the bushes.  Then one spend a night at the Martha's Vineyard youth hostile, because it is raining.  Then one sneaks a ride on the Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket ferry.  Once in Nantucket, one has to try hitchhiking.  If one is lucky, one gets a ride with Tony Ferrell who lives out by the sewer beds at Surfside.  He will tell you about a bunch of cousins who live on abandoned property on Fairgrounds Road just north of where the new Nantucket Police station is and south of the pine forest where Camp Richard, the boy scout camp is.  Then once one gets settled in on the camp site with a hand pump well for water on an unfinished house foundation, one has to meet a few local hippies who know the island.  Once you meet them you have to walk out to the cove in Madeket on the north side of the island about 10 miles where Madeket Millie lives.  In that cove at low tide, if one is tall about six feet and use to cold water, one can use one's toes to pick up quahogs.  One can get about a 50 pound burlap potato sack bag full in about an hour.  After one has enough quahogs, you have to carry them back into downtown Nantucket about seven miles, and you can sell them to Charlie Sayle on Strait wharf, but the catch is the local hippies in Nantucket take all of the money, and you are left starving for the rest of the day watching Charlie try to sell frozen Quahog chowder.  Then you can walk around hungry, until about midnight when some of the girls in the Nantucket bakery on Orange Street working there give you free pastries, and you can work all night in the Nantucket bakery making Portuguese bread for the rich people.  Over the years, one can work one's way up to paying jobs such as dishwasher pot scrubbers and prep work and cleaning in one of the many restaurants.  However, once the season is over about December, you are broke, because everything is 25% more on the island, and you have to leave the island with little of no money to go where ever one wants to go for the winter.  Thus Nantucket is not a very profitable job opportunity for the average traveler.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 1:05 P.M.  After spending $3,000 to $5,000 and thousands of hours restoring the 1952 Mercedes Benz 300b, as I recall, I sold it in the summer of 1972 for around $1,250, to a pharmacist in Watertown, Massachusetts.  It apparently was not worth that much, four door sedans were very common, and in restoring it, I had cherry Naugahyde upholstery put in it for $400 at Adolph's auto tops in Wellesley, Massachusetts.  Leather would have been twice as much.  I was told that leather would crack in the cold winters.  When I was in Greece in the spring of 1972 with George Cary, all of the taxi cabs in Greece were like my old Mercedes.  The second Mercedes I owned for $450 while owning the other one was a 1961 Mercedes Benz 300C that came from the Royal Palace in Greece.  It burned oil, so I sold it after owning it a short time.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 12:55 P.M.  In the summer of 1969, when I first made it out to Nantucket, I was having a beer at the Salty Dog bar on main street chatting with another beach bum who was equally dirty as myself.  After chatting with him for a while, I determined it was my roommate from my freshman year at www.lfc.edu Guy Erdman who was one of the original half owners of 1951 Mercedes Benz 300B http://mikelouisscott.com/mb1951.jpg .  At the end of the freshman year, I bought out his $150 share after he had put a dent in the passenger side rear fender.  Guy and myself and a couple of other friends Bill Stroh and Walter Terry from the college had worked on the Korhummle? Horse Farm in west Lake Forest, Illinois shoveling horse manure that spring.  I broke the windshield on the Mercedes, when I drove into a horse barricade while working on the farm.  The Korhummles? gave me $50 to replace the broken windshield on the 1951 Mercedes 300B.  Guy was from Princeton, New Jersey, and his family later bought a house next to the dump on Martha's Vineyard.  He had three younger brothers who use to fly model airplanes inside their rather large house.  He was one of Jeff Hoguet's roommates at the Taft School, since Jeff was also from Princeton, New Jersey.  The bar the Salty Dog on Main Street in Nantucket later became the ice cream parlor which was quite busy, but everyone was always complaining that there was no bathroom, so they built a public bathroom next to the Information Center in downtown Nantucket.

I remember back in Nantucket www.nantucket.net where a lot of people walk and there are no fast food restaurants, one of the more profitable local businesses was the Steamship Wharf clam shack called the Sea Shanty.  They were opened all day serving the tourists, and they would stay open until 2 A.M. serving the late night pub crowd after the pubs closed at 1 A.M..  They would serve fried clams, fried scallops, fried shrimp, fried fish cakes, and fried French fry potatoes and fried onions rings with your choice of sodas.  In Boston, they call sodas, tonic.  Also on Steamboat Wharf, there was Henry's Sandwich shop which like an early version of the Subway sandwich franchise.  On Strait Wharf, they used to sell frozen Charlie Sayles quahog chowder which is basically clam chowder.  A quahog is a large clam.  CIO  

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 2:10 A.M.  Very few people tried leaving college at www.lfc.edu , because about the only other job alternative was the military in Viet Nam which did not look too glamorous.  In the winter of 1972, I did get to wander around a lot of security in Europe with lots of machine guns though until June 1972.  The Italian police, the French police, the Spanish police, the Greek police, and the Turkish military all seemed to be well armed with plenty of machine guns, so despite the fact that the wine was cheap and the cigarettes were expensive, one tended to stay on one's guard.  I guess with the much larger population in Europe, the security people have to be much more stricter to keep the general population from getting out of control.

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 1:45 A.M.  The safest house I probably lived in was probably, when I rented the Farm http://mikelouisscott.com/photo/mike-scott-the-farm-illinois-1970.jpg from September 1970 to December 1971 in Knollwood, Illinois at 1014 Rockland Road while I attended www.lfc.edu.  Not that it was really that safe, but it was way out there in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest of America with Fort Sheridan and Great Lakes Naval Station nearby.   Thus living in the heartland of America with family from the Midwest, I enjoyed a sense of security that one does not get living around a lot of foreign travelers on the coasts of America.  It was so quiet out there at night, all one could hear was the box cars coupling and uncoupling nearby a couple of miles away at the Chicago and Milwaukee rail yards.  We use to like going to the Oasis rest area on the nearby turnpike to watch the travelers from Chicago going to Milwaukee.  They had an interesting railroad salvage store in Great Lakes, Illinois.  They had a Salvation Army store with good furniture in Waukegan, Illinois, and they delivered for free.  A draught beer in a 10 ounce class was 15 cents and in a frosted 16 ounce stein 35 cents and a mixed drink was 50 cents with an ounce of alcohol and your favorite mixer.  Gasoline was 19 cents a gallon for premium.  Fuel oil was 12 cents a gallon.  Cigarettes were 35 cents a package.  I earned about $200 a week while going to www.lfc.edu working various jobs around Lake Forest, Illinois.  It cost $250 a month to rent the Farm with 40 acres from a lawyer named Mr. Michaels in Lake Bluff, Illinois.  It had oil heat and four bedrooms and a full basement.  I split the rent and expenses with three or four other roommates.  As you can tell from the car in the driveway, one my roommates with the green MG with Connecticut plates on it was David Field from Fairfield, Connecticut, and I had quite a few classmates from Greenwich and this area.  Alas from what I can tell in hind sight the rich Midwestern people might have been taking advantage of us with all of the work that we were doing, since we were paying a lot of money to attend college where our grades and academic performance suffered because of all of the work they had us doing.  One of the locals from Lake Forest, Illinois was Arthur Wood Junior, and he once told me while he attended www.harvard.edu , he worked all night in a Sears Warehouse in Boston, while his father was the president of www.sears.com .  I guess a lot of the Midwest students take jobs on the East Coast while they attend college here.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/20/11 Wednesday 12:55 A.M.  When my family moved back to Greenwich, Connecticut from Weston, Massachusetts in June 1973, we lived on Cornelia Drive until we sold the house either in 1977 or 1978.  We paid $125,000 for it, and I think we sold it for the same amount.  It was an old barn that had been converted by an architect into a modern house.  It had oil heat and no basement and no air conditioning and four bedrooms.  It was on two acres with a smaller auxiliary guest house without plumbing that had propane gas heat.  There was a small dilapidated bomb shelter in the back yard that was full of mold and moisture.  That is where I found the Polynesian Tiki with Day Glow Orange paint on it that somehow disappeared during our stay at the house.  I also used a relative's apartment at Putnam Green during the summer of 1979.  When I returned to Greenwich in December 1983 from Nantucket, I lived in a small rented attic bedroom at 100 Milbank Avenue until April 1984.  It had a shared bathroom and a shared refrigerator.  I then lived on Greenwich Avenue in a second floor apartment bedroom on the northwest corner of Grigg Street and Greenwich Avenue in a shared apartment.  In June 1984, I moved to 700 Steamboat Road to a studio apartment on the waterfront with bathroom and half size refrigerator and no kitchen, so I ate dinner every day at the Greenwich Hospital which was the cheapest place in town to eat.  I moved from there in December 1988 to my current Greenwich Housing Authority residence at 71 Vinci Drive which is a 400 square foot apartment with small kitchenette, small bathroom, small bedroom and modest size living room with all of my computer equipment.  One has more time for computers and the internet, when living in a simpler environment.  CIO

When we were building the house on Baldwin Farms South, we lived for a while on Alpine Road in Greenwich in a rented house.  When we were building the house on Bittersweet Lane in New Canaan, Connecticut we lived at the Patterson Farm on Smith Ridge Road which we rented.  When we first moved to the Boston area in 1968, we rented an apartment for a couple of months in Waltham, Massachusetts, and then we rented a house next to the Dana Hall girls school on Vincent Road in Wellesley, Massachusetts until the house in Weston was finished.  The house next to Dana Hall was a Swiss Chalet.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/18/11 Monday 1:10 P.M.  They way I figure it with all of the unemployed creative writers advertising how rich Greenwich, Connecticut is, they might not be telling the real truth, since there are a lot of poor people in Greenwich, Connecticut.  Actually New Canaan, Connecticut is far richer with very few poor people, but they are not as friendly up there, and it would cost a small fortune in gasoline to drive there to be ignored.  Since Port Chester, New York now has a lot of mega stores like www.costco.com and www.homedepot.com , more smart shoppers in this area are shopping there compared to buying all of the women's items on Greenwich Avenue.  Of course, I think, one pays a half percent higher sales tax in Port Chester, New York. I usually go up to Norwalk, Connecticut for big ticket items, since they have a www.walmart.com and www.pcrichard.com along with many of the other big box stores, but it costs a lot more money to drive there in a lot more traffic.  The truly rich people in this area, probably use their home here as second homes in the summer, and they have their primary homes in Florida and elsewhere where the taxes are lower.  If one thinks rich people do not watch their pocket books, you have to remember, they probably got rich by thrift and frugality and not handing out money to everyone that happens along the way.  I have lived here since 1961, and I have not seen much evidence of anyone giving away anything or money for charity to casual venture seekers.  Thus if you think you will get rich by hanging out with the not so rich and famous, more than likely, one will wear out a lot of shoe leather and use a lot of fuel to come and go from here.  Actually from a business viewpoint, the White Plains, New York is a much more professional business library, since they have a larger inventory of government documents as does the SUNY Purchase library.  I finished restoring the Paragon XP Professional Backup on the Dell Dimension 4600i computer.  CIO

Note: <888> 04/17/11 Sunday 10:20 P.M.  I watched part of an Austrian ballet movie "They Mysterious House of Dr. C." on the www.tcm.com movie channel.  A lot of people think Austria is a poor Eastern European Country, but at one time they used to be part of the Austrian Hungarian Empire, so they were very advanced in the arts, when they were not making war against whomever they fought against.  They are famous for coffee shops and pastries, and I think you can still smoke in their coffee shops.  Vienna is also famous for producing some of the best surgeons in the world in the field of medicine.  Alas, I don't know German, and I have never been to Vienna.  I think Austria might secretly have money though, since in the mountains, they use to wear Geiger Jackets, and Geiger Counters are used for finding uranium, so possibly Austria has secret uranium mines in the Alps.  They are also known for the White Arabian Horses they train to perform.  Since they are a Land Locked country, they do not have too much of a naval presence, but I recall in the movie "The Sound of Music", Baron Von Trapp was an officer in the Austrian Navy, so maybe they have some lakes with naval ships.  I used to see a few people around here in the winter in traditional Austrian Dress, and I even once had a traditional Austrian Dress Suit that I bought for $17.50 at the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop, but I only wore a couple of times, before I outgrew it, and I donated it to Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I know a few people with Austrian connections here in America, but alas they tend to be very private, and I have not heard from them in years.  I guess they are so busy with finance, they have lost track of the larger picture.  The Von Trapp family have a guest lodge in Stowe, Vermont, so possibly there are other Austrian families up there in Vermont.  Alas having lived in a warmer climate here in Greenwich, Connecticut at the edge of the tropics, I tend to see a larger world group of people on the four seasons basis.  Recently with the higher prices of fuel, I do not get out as much, but as I recall in Innsbruck, Austria, although most everyone has cars, they pretty much park them and walk around downtown on the Maria Teresa Strauss which is a pedestrian mall.  I wanted to make Greenwich Avenue into the a Pedestrian Mall and have it covered with a wrought iron canopy like they do in the Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, but alas the older people in town prefer to be able to use their cars for shopping.  I chatted with a relative.  Nobody calls me up too much anymore, since I guess with the internet, they are able to chat with a larger group of people around the world.  When I was a student in Europe back in the winter of 1972, I collected an address book with about 200 names, but over they years, I never heard from anyone.  Back in the summer of 1980, when Lord Mountbatten was killed, I thought some terrorists might be stalking some of my European friends, so I threw away the small address book with all of my friends names, addresses, and telephone numbers in a dumpster at the University of California at Santa Cruz, California, thus I have lost track of all of those people I met between 1968 and 1980.  I used travel around the world telling people, they should try moving to Greenwich, Connecticut, but when I finally got back to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983, nobody I ever met could afford to live here, or possibly they had all gone back home.  It is a big world out there, so possibly my old friends' children and grandchildren are now traveling around here on ventures out from New York City and elsewhere.  CIO

I was thinking today that one regular Greenwich Library user was related to Charlemagne and was a member of the Knights of Malta.  It got me to thinking there should be an order of the Knights of Nantucket www.nantucket.net .  Well not much happening downtown in Greenwich as far as I can tell, but with the warmer weather people are now more visible.  I even saw quite a few people from India today.  However, once when I flew into J.F.K. airport in New York City from Tobago during the first week of May in 1971, when I was coming back from Tobago on BWIA, there was six inches of fresh snow on the ground, so we can still get colder weather this time of year.  One generally does not plant one's tomatoes here until after Mother's Day.  We probably are seeing a few Canadians come north from down south, since they are use to cooler weather.  If one is driving up the Atlantic Coast from Florida, one can always stop by St Augustine Florida and Middleton Place, Charleston S.C. and Colonial Williamsburg Official History Site and Old Sturbridge Village .

I chatted with a relative.

On the Epox computer on the oak dining table, it is difficult to start up, but it does start up and work.  One has to turn on all of the switches on the power control center.  Then one presses the Epox computer CPU button, and nothing happens.  Then one turns off the CPU power control switch, and then one presses the CPU power button, and nothing still happens.  Then one turns on the CPU switch on the power control panel with all of the other power control switches still turned on, and this time when one presses the Epox computer CPU power button, it will turn on.  I can not figure out why it works that way.  I have tried changing the motherboard to power switch cables around, and that did not make a difference.  It was not always like that, but for some reason it is that way now.  I have not used the Epox computer too much over the years and like the Abit computer, they both have older used hard drives salvaged out of the primary work computer and the FIC server.  CIO

There were about a half dozen people lined up in front of the www.apple.com store on Greenwich Avenue this morning.  I chatted with one, and the individual told me, the Ipad II is available there, but there is a waiting list.  I saw a report last week that when traveling internationally in foreign countries and using the Ipad or Ipod, the roaming charges can be hundred of dollars and even up to a thousand dollars a week, so the roaming charges when one travels could bust your budget.

I have been living off Disability Income, since December 1983, so more than likely at age 61, I will not be going back to work any time soon, but I manage to keep busy by volunteering in my own way maintaining my internet activity, which I know how to do, but it is quite expensive.

With Bill Gates touring Europe for umpteenth time, we might have some Europeans coming back here.  I know Bill Gates is big on Africa, but frequently in undeveloped countries like Africa and even more rural parts of Europe, they do not have the infrastructure to support advanced electronics and they have more pressing needs in other fields like medicine and environmental concerns.  The biggest health problem I know of in Paris is that multiple millions of people are buried in the catacombs of Paris which are basically the sewers, since they had no other place to store their remains.  There is even a bar about three to five stories down below ground level behind the www.louvre.fr that I have been to, which looks like it once was a good bomb shelter, but it might be connected to the catacombs or sewers.  I was only there once on my visit to Albertville, France in 1992 for the winter Olympics.  They are probably running high speed internet cables through the sewers of Paris, so possibly the ghosts of all of those millions of dead people are hacking into the internet.  When one visits very old cities, one is looking at a modern version of life built upon centuries of layers of older cities that preceded it.  CIO 

Note: <888> 04/07/11 Thursday 2:45 A.M.  I checked my power strips and surge protectors, and they all seem all right.  The more expensive ones cost $20 to $50 apiece, so they are very good ones on most of the computers and some of the electronics.  I also have good ones on the stereo and TV setup in the living room and the bedroom.  The cheaper ones in the kitchen and elsewhere in the apartment are still good ones.  The cheapest ones that I am using are from www.homedepot.com and www.cvs.com , and they are UL approved.  If the ones from Home Depot are defective, then tens of millions of people have problems.  I also checked out the power transformers, most of which are connected to the cordless telephones, and they are all cool.  The one on the AT&T cordless telephone in the living room is slightly warm as is the one on the new Black and Decker dust buster in the bedroom.  I stored away the U.S. Army www.army.mil extreme cold weather sleeping bags good to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit and the two comforters that were all stored behind the Ethan Allen recliner.  Thus I only have the new twin size Aerobed, twin size mattress cover, and sheets and blanket for the Aerobed stored behind the Ethan Allen recliner.  It is still too early to do spring cleaning and install the air conditioners in the apartment.  I also use heavy duty extension cords and not cheap lamp extension cords through out the apartment.  The power strips on the Sharp Convection oven, and the GE microwave oven and Sony Trinitron television in the kitchen are standard power strips, and they should be safe enough to use.  I feel a power strip with a heavy duty extension cord is safer than a cheap extension cord.  CIO

Start Note About Power Strips:

Immediate Action Request - Safety Hazard - Power Strips

The United States General Services Administration (GSA) has reported that there have now been three recent fire incidents with the following power strips:

EFI model P-50ES

The most serious case was in the Social Security office in the federal building in Dallas, TX

Due to the seriousness of this issue, we are asking Building Managers and every employee to inspect all power strips in use within your offices and work spaces, regardless of manufacturer.  

Remove and replace any of this EFI make and model that you find, but also any other make and/or model that show signs of overheating (melting, dark spots, scorching ) or excessive wear (frayed or separated cords).

While we’re discussing power strips, it would be a good time to remind all that a power strip is considered by Regulation an extension cord and, as such, is NOT allowed to be plugged into another extension cord.  This is a common and reoccurring problem.  If you find a “daisy chain” during your inspections please correct this situation as well.

Note: <888> 04/07/11 Thursday 1:35 A.M.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  It feels good to be clean.  I threw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  I received notification from the Connecticut Department of Social Services that my Food Stamps will continue to be $200 a month which at today's prices do not go far.  Basically red meat is a luxury anymore.  I have a funny digestive system that whenever I eat a steak which is seldom, it goes right through me, so it is really not worth the money eating them anyway.  I guess my system is no longer use to eating steak anymore.  However, it does not happen with top round London Broil, so possibly steaks have more fat in them, where they go through my intestines faster. 

I think the town of Greenwich, Connecticut and the state of Connecticut could make more money by allowing the sale of alcohol and beer 24 hours a day instead of having all of the local people in this area drive across the New York border to Port Chester, New York, where they sell it much later depending on the store.  CIO 

Note: <888> 04/07/11 Thursday 12:30 A.M.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I really should clean up, which I will probably do soon.  However, not cleaning up saves on energy.  I remember in the old days in Greenwich, the grunge look used to be popular.  I was watching the House of Representatives on Cspan today, and apparently, the US Environmental Protection Agency is interested regulating cow manure and their methane gas levels, since they cause 28% of the Green House gases.  They also want to regulate the amount of CO2 that humans can exhale to keep down the CO2 levels in the atmosphere.  Nobody really knows what the government does, but you have to remember that we are all paying for it with our taxes, except the top 150 Fortune companies that do not pay taxes.  I guess the off shore investors think they run this country like an old time European colony.  There are a billion people in Western Europe, so they do have economic influence here, but frequently when they come here to check out their investments, they seem confused.  I also watched a television program about electric cars, and except for the expensive ones, they do not have much of a range until the gasoline powered generator has to kick in.  CIO

I watched some television.  With Elton John in the area, there might be other British people in the area, so I put the Scottish Cross of St. Andrews flag in front on the right hallway bookcase and the British Union Jack in front on the left hallway bookcase.  Thus we are even more Anglophile.  Back on the farm while at www.lfc.edu , we use to listen to his first 8 track tape on my Lear Jet 8 track tape player.  I remember in 1973, he was seen at the Crisco Disco in the Chelsea area of Manhattan.  I guess this all goes back to Billy Baldwin being a friend of the Duke of Windsor.  However, for myself Michael Louis Scott, I was born in Alton, Illinois U.S.A., so from my perspective I am a U.S.A. citizen trying to maintain a British hospitality environment, but all of the Italians that live around me seem to scare away the British, or the British are not really too interested in what I do anymore in my advanced age coming up of 61 years old.  I just do thing based on my experience and based on my budget and not based on the Big Bucks Budget of various government representatives that might happen to be around in this area.  I do not go out for walks downtown much recently, because gasoline has gotten more expensive.  There is not much going on downtown anymore.  It was a colder winter, and I feel more comfortable at home.  I also have a skin irritation on the heel of my right foot and the inside of my right foot ankle which makes it uncomfortable to walk distances.  I have been putting CVS Neosporin on it.

I printed out the Rothschild Bloodline pages, and I put them in a clamp binder.  They are 65 pages long.

While trying to print them out, I tried to feed more paper in the Konica Minolta Pagepro 1250W laser printer, and it jammed and started making a broken noise.  I took it apart, and the nylon feeding rod and also one of its supports are broken, so it is no good and broken.  It has a refilled 6000 sheet cartridge in it with about 2000 sheets used, but I have no use for it, so I will probably throw it out.

I put the new Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer in its place.  It has a 1,000 sheet starter cartridge, but I recently bought a spare refurbished toner cartridge for it.  I installed its drivers, and I set it as the default laser printer.  CIO
