<888> 04/30/15 Thursday 8:50 A.M.. I ate a bag of microwave popcorn. Not much happens out here in the suburbs with nearby Manhattan grabbing all of the attention. I think half the town of Greenwich, Connecticut is under 16 years of age. Thus more than likely a lot of the younger generation are watching children's programming on television. When I lived at 700 Steamboat Road from June 1984 to December 1988, Jim Henson of the Muppets fame was also a neighbor. Across the street from me was also one of the head judges in this area. In my life as a recluse except in this area, I seem to have been around a number of judicial individuals which is why I always try to observe the law as I know it. However, since a lot of people have told me that I look like the former ABC News anchor, Peter Jennings, quite a number of people when I used to be in public were always telling me news stories. Most of them seemed to be coming from CNN. Since I did work as a $85 a week clerk typist for the commercials' paper work at the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street for the three months of April to June 1973, and I told quite a few people that I was working for them, a lot people in Manhattan probably still thought I had some sort of connection with them. I do try to keep abreast of the news, but alas all of the computer technical work that I have done for the last 25 years leaves me a bit behind in keeping abreast of a lot of the news. Since I have a Bachelors' Degree in Economics, I watch the Bloomberg News, when I wake up on weekdays and have breakfast for about an hour. On weekends, since I am a republican party member, I watch Fox News for breakfast. Since I can look at the other news sources on the internet quickly, I do not use the time watching their broadcasts or programs. Alas on a limited income he $100 a month that goes to Digital Cable Television in my apartment setup is under used. I think the Cable Television people should only charge for those stations that one wants to watch, which would save me quite a bit of money. There is not much the retired people on limited income can do in the suburbs, but go to the library and read or go to a local senior center and network with other seniors. However, in my particular situation, unlike the urban environment, there are not a lot of people awake all night in the suburbs, and the ones that are, don't want to be bothered. I have tried to network with the eastern Hemisphere in the early morning hours, when they are awake, but they have shown no interest in somebody on the east coast of the western hemisphere. I guess we have different experiences. Also since I once had a news media connection, most people seem to want to remain private and avoid the media. Since I don't watch much of the media, I do not recognize most of the media people, when I see them. There used to be a few pubs in Manhattan, where some of the media people would frequent, but in my day, the younger generation could not afford them. I have been around media events, since moving away from Manhattan, but alas I do not try to cover media events, since the Greenwich people try to remain aloof from them, since over half the town is foreign nationals with no interest in American media. From my viewpoint some days are busier, when something might be going on, and other days are pretty ordinary, when not much seems to be going on. I think that Conde Nast, Colliers publishing, Gannett News, Time Life, Look, New York Times, Hearst News, Chicago Tribune, Times Mirror, Cambridge Press, Forbes, Readers Digest, Fawcett Publishing, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS people used to live in this area. Thus they obviously are pretty well networked to together in their business. Also Donnelly Publishing is in this area. There are also a number of other smaller publications in this area. CIO
<888> 04/30/15 Thursday 7:10 A.M.. I sat outside a while.

From my viewpoint the local night time activity is almost down to nothing, and the daytime activity is only about a third as busy as it once was. I guess the colder winter ran a lot of people out of this area. CIO

<888> 04/29/15 Wednesday 7:05 A.M.. On West 74th Street a half block east of Riverside Park, where I lived from December 1980 to February 1982, it was a very noisy neighborhood with lots of commuter traffic off the West Side Highway. The Riverside Park was good for walking the dogs. The Van Dusen townhouse where I shared a second floor one bedroom apartment with the mother of a friend of mine was behind the playground of a boys private school on West 75th Street. My roommate was the former secretary to the head of the business school at www.nyu.edu and at the time was the head of word processing in Cyrus Vance's law firm after he was secretary of state in the Carter administration. His law office was on Madison Avenue at East 57th Street and Madison Avenue. I would frequently walk through central park and walk around the http://www.metmuseum.org/ . In the evenings, I would frequently catch a bus downtown and walk around Greenwich Village and visit student pubs in the West Village. At the time Ronald Reagan's son lived in that neighborhood on West 9th street, so there were a few young republicans in that neighborhood which is unusual for Greenwich Village. Turner construction which built the new Greenwich Hospital at the time also built the new annex to St. Vincent's Hospital. I also would walk around the Upper East Side and the East 50s including Fifth Avenue. Those were very cold winters after Mount St. Helen's erupted, and all I had was a $5 blue and black street vendor parka. The Saudi Arabian flag was always flying at the Waldorf Astoria, and it was warm inside the hotel lobby. There were a lot of street vendors on Fifth Avenue around Rockefeller Center selling all sorts of items like nuts and dried fruit and various bric-a-brac. On snowy days, the curb areas of the cross walks would fill up with slush, so one frequently was walking around with web feet. A lot of the wealthier women were wearing those full length duck feather stuffed down coats. The west side in the winter is a lot colder and windier than the east side. I never looked up Fred Von Mierers, since I figured he would not get along with my other friends, although they also had German connections. I did see Fred once in a Greenwich Village pub. I also went to a New Year's Eve Party on January 1, 1982 at Bobby Culver's Greenwich Village apartment. I brought a bottle of Johnny Walker red Scotch that I barrowed from my roommate's apartment, but I only drank a little champaign. I think everyone at the party except myself and Bobby were from some Wall Street brokerage named Solomon Brothers. I think it was the brokerage firm that had recently fired Michael Bloomberg, so he might have been at the party. They were all wearing tuxedos, and I was just wearing grey flannel trousers and a blue blazer. Still, I was once invited to a party. In my West 74th street neighborhood, the Newport Jazz festival officer was in the townhouse just on the east side of the Van Dusen townhouse. Just to the east of that was the townhouse where Sidney Biddle Barrows ran her escort service, so there were a lot of good looking young women coming and going in limousines. I would do my laundry at the laundry mat at the Ansonia Hotel lobby. There was a www.mcdonalds.com near Lincoln Center, but they had overcooked dried out hamburgers. I would frequently east a roast beef sandwich with mayonnaise on a Kaiser roll that I would get a the deli at Gristedes on West 72nd Street for $2.75. I also would shop at that Gristedes. I did visit the www.columbia.edu area about a dozen times, but I would walk there, so once I walked the forty blocks, I would be a bit worn out as to what to do. I also frequently would walk downtown from West 74th street to Greenwich Village and walk around. In the summer of 1981, which was the only summer that I was in Manhattan besides the early summer of 1973, I saw a lot more tropical people. However, the apartment on West 74th Street did not have air conditioning, so it was too hot with lots of automobile fumes from the nearby West Side Highway. I did buy a used air conditioner at a Norwalk thrift shop for $25, and I brought it into Manhattan, but it never worked. I was once locked outside, and I was able to scale the front of the building to get back inside the second floor apartment window. During the winter, when it was down to minus 26 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, there were what appeared to be homeless people sleeping around the West 79th Street Boat Basin area, so they were not Happy Campers. One person looked like John Cooper from Blue Eyed, Missouri that I knew from www.nantucket.net . It was on the evening after he was first elected when Ronald Reagan had first showed up in Manhattan that I walked the white German Sheppard over to the Waldorf Astoria, and the secret service photographed the dog with a Polaroid camera. On the way back through Central Park at West 72nd Street there was a police presence, and that was shortly after John Lennon had been shot outside the Dakota apartment building in that neighborhood. My roommate's daughter worked at the Liquor Store at the Dakota. That began to get me to think the neighborhood might not be too safe. There was the Fairway produce market on Broadway, where one would frequently see John Lennon and Yoko Ono.. Also Zabars deli was a little further north on Broadway. I once stood outside Lincoln Center with a small crowd to see Prince Charles arriving for some event. I once stood outside the Metropolitan Museum, and I watched the VIP crowd show up for Andwar Sadat. I noticed one well dressed visitor looked like my roommate, so I thought the roommate might be leading a double life. My roommate also lived with the doorman of the Carnegie Tower on the upper east side. In February 1982, I had to move out of the west 74th street apartment, when it was minus 26 degrees below zero, so my roommate's son could move back in. I met Bobby Fink at a east side pub, and he put me up for a week above an apartment above an Episcopal church in East 52nd street. He had cable TV, and they kept running the movie Dr. Zhivago during those cold days. Bobby had to leave town to go to St. Barth's, so my former roommate gave me a $100 bill, which I used to fly down to Key West, which was quite busy with the cold weather up north. It had changed since 1978. Steve Bahl put me up for a few day along with someone with an apartment near the Key West Police Station and a Canadian. My adventures down there were later disrupted by a computer error, so when I got back up north I remembered that. Up north from April 1982 to February 1983, I built the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island for my New York roommate's mother. I worked every day for about 10 months with over 12 hours a day. I was paid $8,500 for the entire project which works out to less than $2.50 an hour, but times were rough, and I had a roof over my head and food to eat. I also got to see a more interesting group of people out there on Long Island. After the garage apartment was finished in February 1982, I visited my father in Bayonette Point, Florida for a week. I then visited Washington D.C. for a week and New Haven, Connecticut for a week. I then bought a $800 ticket at S.A.S. at J.F.K. airport which was suppose to be for a round trip to Stockholm, Sweden and a week's stay at the S.A.S. hotel, but the jet landed at a military airport in Oslo, Norway, and at the S.A.S. hotel, they told me the ticket was only a one way ticket to Stockholm, an no hotel. I stayed for a few days at the Y.M.C.A. across the street from the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo. I then was evicted for lack of funds, and they kept my luggage. I walked around on a freezing night, and I finally walked into the West Hotel behind the palace, and I gave them my passport, and I told them the situation. After about two weeks of not eating food and walking around Oslo, the United States Embassy had contacted my father, and he paid $2,000 for the hotel bill and for me to fly back to America. They gave me a $100 bill which I spent at the airport in Copenhagen for two cartons of Prince Cigarettes duty free. I then spent about a week walking J.F.K. airport at Easter Time living by the S.A.S. terminal. Finally I went out to Plandome Manor, Long Island on the Long Island Railroad, and my friend there gave me a $100 bill that I used to fly from J.F.K. to www.nantucket.net . I worked there until Halloween, when I flew off Nantucket, and I met a relative in Boston, and I went to Kennebunkport. I then drove down to Vero Beach with the relative stopping by in Greenwich. After about two weeks in Florida mostly in Fort Lauderdale during the Grenada Invasion, I returned to Nantucket until the end of November 1983. I flew out of Hyannis to LaGuardia in a plane with Jackie Onassis as a passenger. I then took the Amtrak to Toronto. I stayed there for about two weeks at the Anglican Seminary at the University of Toronto. I then returned on Amtrak to Manhattan. I walked around Manhattan for about a week staying up late at night in pubs and the East Side airline terminal. I then came out to Greenwich with swollen ankles, and I was in the Greenwich Hospital for a week. I then returned to Manhattan for another week of walking around, and then after a complete physical in the Greenwich Hospital that cost the State of Connecticut $7,500 that said I was disabled. Social services got me a small apartment in Greenwich near Christmas Time December 1983, and I have been here ever since for better or worse. CIO
<888> 04/29/15 Wednesday 5:25 A.M.. Polar bear settles into new Highlands home . When I was in Oslo, Norway back in February and March 1983, I noticed when walking around the Royal Palace in downtown Oslo, there were a number of security people with automatic weapons or machine guns. I guess up in Norway, they might have a problem with Polar Bears that some tourists do not seem to know, but I think that is outside of downtown Oslo in the more northern parts of the country. When I last lived in Manhattan from December 1980 to February 1982, my roommate had a Doberman Pincher and a white German Shepard. I would regularly walk the dogs. It seemed when I walked the white German Shepard around the Central Park Children's Zoo with the Polar Bear, that the two white animals identified with each other However, I also noticed in the monkey building the monkeys in the zoo were eating better than I was.

<888> 04/28/15 Tuesday 11:30 P.M.. For the absent minded people, the http://www.kentuckyderby.com/ is this Saturday May 2, 2015. About 25 years ago, I was drinking at the Homestead Bar in Port Chester a few days before the Derby with a friend from North Salem, New York. I chatted with an African American with a blue www.cadillac.com with Connecticut License Plate "KENNY" who was a timer on the back side at Belmont. He told me "Go for Gin" was going to win the Kentucky Derby, so I told all of volunteers in the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop http://www.greenwichhospital.org/directions/greenwich-hospital-auxiliary-thrift-shop , and I called up a Canadian acquaintance that lived near OTB in Times Square, and left that person a message; so possibly somebody made money off that bet. Alas at the time http://www.interbets.com/ did not exist. Thus they seem to think I am some sort of expert on horse racing, but I have a friend that is. The only time I attended Saratoga in August about 25 years ago, I randomly placed a $5 bet on "Corporate Report" in the Travers, and I won $40. I just happened to like the name. CIO
<888> 04/28/15 Tuesday 11:05 P.M.. For Night Owls, I know one night job in the area that might be available. Over 20 years ago, when I was sitting downtown at 4 A.M. on an August morning, and I felt a seismic vibration, I drove up Lake Avenue and along the west side of the Greenwich reservoir, and I was coming off the road by the dam which I checked out for a breakage, some sort of wild animal that activated my cat allergies jumped on the roof of my slow moving vintage white Volvo sedan. I though it might be some sort of wild cat like a Mountain Lion, and since my Volvo driver's side window was broken, I could not put up the window. I remained calm as possible, and instead of driving down Lake Avenue which is pretty dark and remote at that hour of the morning, I drove west on Clapboard Ridge Road and up Round Hill Road and west on Porkchuck Road and then west on Cliffdale Road. Around that time at Tudor Farm, somebody was driving in from the opposite direction into Tudor Farm, so they would have seen whatever was on the roof of the old white Volvo sedan. I then drove slightly south on King Street into Westchester County airport and just south of the passenger terminal, I drove into the www.hertz.com rent a car return booth which was staffed at that hour of the morning, and knowing that they might have cameras at the airport, I asked the attendant who was somebody I knew if there was anything on the roof of the old Volvo wagon, and he said "No". Thus that job might still be available. However, I have a neighbor who used to be a parking lot attendant in the parking booth at Westchester County airport, and the neighbor became disabled, when a snow plow in a blizzard hit the parking booth causing bodily damage. Technically a mountain lion could be sneaky enough to sneak on an unguarded aircraft and cause some sort of disruption. Of course it might be some of special forces personnel in the area that had parachuted in and was just catching a free ride. CIO
<888> 04/28/15 Tuesday 10:30 P.M.. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside observing the warmer evening. The lights are now out in the entire parking lot area of Vinci Drive. I noticed there is a lot of jet traffic at the nearby airport, so maybe the Jet Set people down south are returning early for their summer adventures in our northern habitat. I think a lot of the jets come out of the Atlanta, Georgia hub. Of course whether any of those visitors ever Dane to visit the simple humble folk in Greenwich, Connecticut is opened to debate. From my viewpoint at night, we just get a few tired travelers off the highway at our local www.starbucks.com on Greenwich Avenue. Of course at night, when I am sitting outside, people can not tell what I really look like in the dark versus what I look like in the daytime. There are always a few younger people moving around our local pubs, and towards the end of the week and weekends we tend to get a lot of people dining downtown at our various dining establishments. Alas www.mcdonalds.com on West Putnam Avenue is undergoing remodeling, but www.wendys.com just west of that about a half mile is still opened. I peruse my own activities in town based on my long time experience and budget and not based on other people's viewpoint of reality. This morning I woke up and ate three ounces of mixed nuts. CIO

I seasoned it with ground black pepper, Italian spices, celery salt, garlic powder, Montreal spicy steak seasoning, a quarter cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I put www.kraft.com blue cheese dressing on it.

<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 11:55 P.M.. Having walked Greenwich Avenue frequently since June 1962, when my family first moved here; it is usually pretty peaceful. Sometimes at night, one hears the sound of what sounds like gun fire, but it usually is a young teenage boy jumping up and down on his skate board on the sidewalk. Greenwich Avenue is a nice down hill slope from north to south about three quarters of a mile long which makes for excellent skateboarding when no one is around. However, behind me on Sherman Avenue near the Byram Ice Skating rink, is a killer hill, which I don't think many teenage boys would risk their lives on with their skate boards unless they want to visit the emergency room of the new http://www.greenwichhospital.org/ . The snow version of the same sport might be equally risky. CIO
<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 11:45 P.M.. If you think April is bad financially around here, May is always the worse month for me financially around here. Food is not yet cheap, and I have www.geico.com automobile insurance payment. However, usually around the first of June, the summer residents return from down south, and they take all of the jobs and money from the cash strapped local residents here year round. About 25 years ago, I tried to get the young company www.microsoft.com to buy the office building at 600 Steamboat Road for $20 million, and a couple of years ago, it recently sold for $400 million, so it would have been a good deal for Microsoft. I even tried to get the Greenwich Library to relocate to 600 Steamboat Road instead of building their new $25 million Peterson addition at their current location. I also tried to interest Microsoft in the Avco office complex across from Westchester County Airport on King Street, but I guess they were afraid to be near the corporate headquarters nearby of www.ibm.com in Armonk, New York.

I noticed when I was in the A&P Fresh last night, they have a small clearance display in the produce section with quite a few old pears and a few old red and green peppers. One figures www.starbucks.com closed at 10 P.M. this evening on Greenwich Avenue, and if any of my deja vue neighbors were stranded downtown, on a warm 50 degree Fahrenheit evening, they could walk west on West Putnam Avenue, but since www.mcdonalds.com is closed for remodeling, they could stop by the all night Shell gasoline station and watch the television the gasoline pumps, and then further west is the www.wendys.com restaurant that is opened later for a bite to eat and further west is the 24 hours CVS near my neighborhood. Also there are the 24 hour www.mobil.com and the 24 hour www.exxon.com gasoline station in my neighborhood. The 24 hour Mobil station has a Dunkin Donuts shop. I have not checked out the Exxon station since it changed from a Sunoco station. Where Cumberland Farms 24 hours store once was in Port Chester on the Connecticut border of U.S. 1, there is now a small grocery store, but I have never checked it out, so I don't know their hours. If one drinks liquor further west is Quinn's neighborhood bar near a 24 hours laundry mat. I don't venture into New York State, because the political perspective is different. I am told a private family from North Tarrytown, New York also have a house on King Street in Port Chester or Rye Brook, but I am not sure where. CIO

<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 10:00 P.M.. I happen to know why a lot of adventurers show an interest in Nepal. It is well known that the Royalty of India have a lot of precious jewels in their treasure hoards. More than likely the gravel of the river beds and streams and mountain slopes of Nepal might contain some precious stones that turn out to precious jewels. When I knew Fred Meyer alias Fred Von Mierers living at 420 East 49th Street in Manhattan, when I visited his apartment there from October 1973 when the stock market crashed and the Arab oil embargo started until February 1975, he always paid his bills, when a lot of people were broke. One of the first people he introduced me to was Bill Barker who was one of the first seven Americans to enter Rome, when the allies took over Rome at the end of World War II. At the time I met him Bill Barker was running a discothèque in Katmandu, Nepal and a lot of the flight personnel from around the world stayed at the nearby Barclay Hotel on East 49th street just behind the Waldorf Astoria. Possibly they had access to the precious jewels from Nepal and were distributing them around the world in their Jet Set network. CIO
<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 9:35 P.M..

There is one slight technical problem with version 10061 in that when one logs off, it does not go to the sign on screen but a black screen, but one can simply turn off the computer to restart it. I will then do an Aomei backup of both partitions to the same Toshiba 1 TB SATA drive. I can used those backups to also restore the Lenovo ThinkCentre on the oak dining table that has the same configuration. However, after I finish those backups, I will do a Aomei backup of the Lenovo ThinkCentre on the oak dining table to the Rosewill 1 TB external USB SATA drive. CIO

<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 6:25 A.M.. There use to be a two story motel just north of here http://southernmostpointwebcam.com/ a little bit south of the http://www.casamarinaresort.com/ and not far from http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ and at that two story motel either in the winter of 1977 or 1978 or 1982, I saw somebody that looked like http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/ staying there. Of course there might be other people that look like him in the world. I noticed during my past evening stroll near the top of Greenwich Avenue on the west side of the street, there is an eye glass shop, and in their display window, they have a whole lot of little plastic miniature dolls of Queen Elizabeth II http://www.royal.gov.uk/ . I guess if I were ever lucky to go the United Kingdom, I might be able to fiddle with their computer over there, but I am not too familiar with 220 volt electricity which I think they use over there. Besides, since nobody over there can be bothered to communicate with me over here, and since it is cheap enough to communicate anymore, more than likely they have newer younger people more adept at doing activity like I used to be able to do. Since I am 25% English, 25% Scottish, and 50% Holland Dutch, I try to keep an eye on that part of the world, but alas when they come over here, they seem to think I look German. I would suppose some Dutch people might have a German look. The only Royal that has spoke with me since I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983 was H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria , but I might have spoken with other Royalty in the area, and not known they were Royalty, since a lot of time since I am out in the general public frequently, I chat with visitors from around the world, and I frequently say whatever happens to come off the top of my head at the moment, which may not have any relevance to the local activity or situation.

<888> 04/26/15 Sunday 5:35 A.M.. Since the tectonic plates of the earth's surface go deep within the earth's crust as do the lava formations within the earth's crust, that possibly when a volcano erupts in one part of the planet earth, another area of the planet earth connected to the same geological rift can have an earthquake. Maybe that is what happened with Chile having a volcano erupting and the shortly there after Nepal having an earthquake. It is just a theory, and I have no way of proving it. CIO

I did not read any news stories about Federal Income Tax Day which was April 15, 2015. One time at the Black Sheep pub in Port Chester, New York over 25 year ago before my internet activity, I met a pair of twin Dutch brothers from Greenwich who told me their step father was the editor of the Chicago Tribune which I thought sort of strange that he lived in Greenwich. Twins cause confusion, but we also have a set of triplet brothers here in town which causes even more confusion depending on which one, one chats with. It seems some of the local village color has disappeared from downtown Greenwich Avenue, so more than likely they are shopping elsewhere. My best guess is www.costco.com in nearby Port Chester, New York. CIO
<888> 04/22/15 Wednesday 6:10 A.M.. Having grown up in an household with sisters and a mother that like to shop, I know women are not particularly keen in purchasing merchandise off the internet, but prefer to actually to visit the stores and compare prices which uses a lot of energy, and then they frequently return the merchandise. I suppose any local area in this area that has a lot of discount outlet stores is seeing a lot of the customers that forsake the high end stores on Greenwich Avenue. Maybe www.apple.com should open a discount outlet store at the Kittery, Maine outlet center, and all of the Boston people, when they go on vacation will flock to it looking for bargains. Alas, www.ibm.com does not sell any hardware anymore that I know of that costs less than a million dollars or more such as main frames and super computers. They probably do still services on older legacy equipment. Somewhere out there in the world, they are probably still maintain and old IBM XT with twin floppy disks that cost $7,500 originally and tech support was $400 an hour. CIO
<888> 04/22/15 Wednesday 5:35 A.M.. I chatted with three out of town security agencies, and I emailed a local security agency. The general public do not have much defense against random acts of disorder. From my viewpoint the local traffic problem is more of a security risk than planned acts of disruption, since most of those come from people whom watch too much television and probably drink too much alcohol. I ate a blueberry muffin. Recently I have been munching on tiny jelly beans while the supply lasts. I think the real resentment is that people watch too much television and expect some sort of reward for what they watch, and when they only get another cablevision bill, and they are poorer; more than likely they can not get a refund for their television watching experience. The last time I was at the local www.cablevision.com in Norwalk, Connecticut; there was a large group of African Americans running the place, so more than likely what we see on the local Cablevision network reflects their viewpoint and not the viewpoint of the general Yankee population as I see it in this area. I guess they have computers that monitor Cablevision usage in this area to figure out what people are watching. It seems that Bloomberg News in the early morning hours covers the London Financial Markets and later in the day covers San Francisco. They do not pay much attention to nearby Manhattan. Fox News covers nearby Manhattan, but they seem to be orientated towards house wives. I guess with the internet, well educated white males of retirement age can finds other activities to cover, but without wampum they are not going anywhere anytime soon. Besides, when one travels, it gets to be very expensive, when one goes out of one's ordinary routines. I suppose the local business community thinks they have everything worked out, but with the competition from an informed public on the internet, more than likely people are able to share their viewpoints and compare them with other family and associates. Thus the general soap commercials to the mass viewing public of the past do not work the way they once did. CIO

<888> 04/22/15 Wednesday 2:50 A.M.. I no longer cover the waterfront, because with the new high tech laser sniper rifles, one can be a sitting duck, when around the waterfront. I blend in with the local population going about my simple shopping routines. However, even with the excellent security here in Greenwich, Connecticut; yesterday when I was about to cross the street at the northwest corner of Greenwich Avenue and Arch Street crossing east, when the traffic officer motioned me to cross, a woman with a child in a black SUV ran the intersection driving too fast narrowly missing running me down in the cross walk. Thus even when the traffic officer motions, one to cross the street, one should also make sure that the traffic has come to a complete stop before entering the cross walk. CIO

At the Connecticut inaugural ball, I chatted with an older woman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_MacArthur who was surrounded by eight Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Honor Guards in Dress Pinks. I drank two Vodka and Tonics, and the ball room was so huge that one could hardly see the new Presidential Couple across the way, when they arrived at one of eight Presidential Inaugural Parties. I wore a $5 used navy blue tuxedo from the New Canaan, Connecticut visiting nurse thrift shop. The previous day at the Dan Qualye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle reception at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum, I work a used $5 Ralph Lauren suit from the New Canaan, Connecticut visiting nurse thrift shop. However, all of the years that I spent in Lee blue jeans nobody ever seemed to noticed me. I guess not many people wear blue jeans anymore. Some rich people wear white cotton pants and blue blazers, and I can do that look, since I have a pair of white corduroy pants and a blue blazer. Alas with the low income people of Greenwich, Connecticut without the huge federal budget of Washington D.C., we tend to dress down, so the many visitors from nearby New York City do not mug us. During the inaugural festivities, I also visited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Shays office, and he let me smoke a cigarette there, and I admired his bust of Abraham Lincoln. CIO

<888> 04/21/15 Tuesday 9:00 P.M.. I chatted with a relative and a friend. I took a third of a head of Cello iceberg lettuce, and I ripped it up into small pieces in a large soup bowl. I seasoned it with ground black pepper, Italian spices, celery salt, garlic powder, Montreal spicy steak seasoning, a quarter cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I put www.kraft.com blue cheese dressing on it. I ate it with a honey ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and Lays jalapeño kettle potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.
It is very hard to open a quart pickle jar. To do to that I take a 20 inch long round carving knife sharpener and I tap around the quart pickle jar lid a number of times, until I loosen it enough to open it with my hands. Since Holland, Michigan has the world's largest pickle factory which is owned by Heinz, they should come up with a pickle jar or container that easier to open, so more old people with frail hands can eat pickles. Also this time of year, Holland, Michigan becomes one of the wealthiest towns in the United States when all of the tulips begin to come out.
Locally there about six red or white tulips that have become to come out at the tulip bed at the veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center. We should probably have the local youth guard the tulip beds in town 24 hours a day during the tulip season. Back in the 1970s, when the Dutch were allowed to visit Manhattan, the center islands of Park Avenue were always full of tulips at tulip time. Alas the Dutch are too busy out in the country making ends meet, so there are very few tulips left in Manhattan anymore. CIO

I stopped by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought four 12.6 ounce Ajax lemon dish washing detergent for .89 each and a foot long yellow plastic ruler for $1.57 and .33 tax for $5.46 total. I noticed there are about a half dozen empty store fronts on Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while after my walk. I then went by the www.greenwichlibrary.org , and I chatted with a regular patron and the information desk, and I also used the bathroom. I then returned home, and I picked up the mail. I put the yellow plastic ruler on the middle shelf to the right of the primary work computer. I use it for odd size envelopes, when I print them out on a laser printer. CIO

I installed it on the HDMI switch box connected to the Ocosmo TV in the living room. I replaced the six outlet power strip at the that location with the Rosewill six outlet power strip with the individual switches. The rear two switches turn on the HDMI switch box and Chromecast Media player which is on Port 2 on the HDMI switch box and HDMI 2 on the Ocosmo TV. I installed the software for it on the Dell E6400 laptop Windows 7 partition and the ChromeCast app in the Chrome web browser. To use it after turning it on the Ocosmo TV, one has to disable the LAN port on the Dell E6400 laptop from the Network Icon, and then one has to turn on the Netgear Wireless and its wireless extender in the apartment and press the Connect Button on the Netgear Wireless extender and then the Connect Button on the Netgear Wireless USB device on the Dell E6400 laptop. Then one connects to Netgear Wireless network on the wireless extender which has a familiar name. Then one connects the ChromeCast App in the Chrome web browser sends the contents to the Ocosmo TV. Thus pretty much anything in the Chrome Browser can be broadcast to the Ocosmo TV setup including Netflix. One can also send the contents of an Android Tablet or Cell Phone to it also with the available apps. There are many other ChromeCast Apps, but a lot of them cost money to use.

In the good old days, when I was around Manhattan from January 1973 to February 1982 living there frequently, a prime rib roast beef dinner with Yorkshire Pudding and broccoli with rolls with butter and iced tea was $7.50 at this joint http://www.metmuseum.org/visit/plan-your-visit/dining-at-the-museum/the-cafeteria . Now they are afraid to tell the prices, so it must be more expensive. I have a Dutch friend out here in the boon docks of Connecticut that grew up next to http://www.frick.org/ in Bedford, New York. However, although he can afford to eat in Manhattan, he is elderly at 72 years of age and 5 foot 7 seven inches tall and 135 pounds, so he does not feel like risking his life going into the Big City where all of the hungry young giants are. He is probably starving this winter, since he was not able to shoot a deer during the deer hunting season. Maybe now that it is warmer, he will try his hand fishing on Long Island Sound. Another relative of a friend on Long Island made a substancial bequest to an art museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico; but I am not sure which museum it is. Possibly it is this one http://nmartmuseum.org/ . Of course they are not as famous as the http://uffizi.firenze.it/en/index.php which was in my neighborhood, when I lived at the Pensione Adria in Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972, when I was not traveling.

I then sat out at the top of Greenwich Avenue enjoying the day. I then drove further down Greenwich Avenue. Construction is on for the new Greenwich Common Park. If one needs to go to the bathroom at night, there is a port-o-potty at the construction site, but it is fenced off by orange plastic fencing. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.

I then returned home. I said hello to a dog walker with two fit German Shepards. I picked up my mail. I put away the groceries. I put one of the 17 ounce containers of Cottondale spiced jelly beans in a Steuben style glass bowl, and I put them on the little mahogany telephone table at the apartment kitchen entrance. CIO

I can hear and see more of the Wright Brothers' invention coming and going at http://www4.passur.com/hpn.html , so I guess the Air Force of the large Southern Population down south is returning back up north, now that we have started to get warmer here. I hope they brought some "wampum" along with them, since there does not seem to be much left in this area after a long cold snowy winter. A relative told me, after a long snowy winter, when there is lots of salt and sand put on the roads, one is suppose to take one's car through the car wash a couple of times to have the under carriage washed off of any salt and sand, so critical items like brake lining do not rust.

I put the mahogany Bombay table at the left side of the kitchen entrance in front of the spice stand. I move the Panasonic 5.8 GHz KX-TG6700 extension cordless phone from the blue bookcase cupboard in the kitchen to on top of the Bombay table, so there is a cordless telephone at the apartment entrance easily available.

Having lived in the Greenwich, Connecticut area since June of 1962, I have visited Tod's Point in Old Greenwich many times. It has been greatly improved over the recent years. However, when it flooded in Hurricane Gloria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Gloria in September 1985, I happened to see a black wolf with orange mane by the Old Greenwich Railroad station, so there might still be wild life out there. Also at the end of May 2000, I was shot at by a sniper while I was bird watching in the southwest picnic area. That case was never solved or even investigated. All the Greenwich Parks and Recreation did was replace the "No Clamming" signs with rifle shot holes in them with new signs, so it seems other people might have known, and it was either a cover up or a common occurrence. I was told years later by one scuba diver that www.navy.mil seals can shoot from under water surfacing briefly, so maybe someone in this area made enemies down in Cayo Hueso where they are suppose to train the Seal teams. Of course other military organizations have their equivalent of special tactics. I will now go back to bed. CIO

<888> 04/08/15 Wednesday 10:10 P.M.. When I was out at Tod's Point in Old Greenwich this morning and on this past Sunday afternoon, I noticed they are totally remodeling the concession building and its museum at the north end of the beach. I think at one time that building might have been an old stone barn. Frequently when the Army of the South is not here during the colder months, the town of Greenwich is involved in doing a lot of its usual maintenance and improvement which is very costly and time consuming. Believe it or not people actually live here on a four seasons basis, and we get a lot of winter visitors from colder areas enjoying our warmer weather by Long Island Sound. Unfortunately this past winter was not that much warmer, and it was one of the coldest winters that I remember since 1982, when it was down to minus 26 degrees below zero Fahrenheit after Mount St. Helens erupted almost two years earlier. I guess people in this area are used to it. I have learned to spend more time inside as I get older, instead of risking exposure in the frigid weather of the winter. When I was younger, I used to spend a lot of time out in the very cold weather. Alas the Greenwich Library is about the only free place to sit inside and stay warm, and they are not always that user friendly, since in the New York City area, they are always bothered by a large variety of patrons many of whom do not like the colder weather. I have a number of friends from even colder areas than this area, but when they are in this area, they are so busy they do not communicate with me, since I am frequently on a night schedule, and they have no interest in what I do.

<888> 04/08/15 Wednesday 9:45 P.M.. I woke up at 8:30 P.M.. I picked up the mail. I ate a 18.8 ounce can of Campbell's' New England clam chowder and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I put the three soda glasses that I bought earlier today in the bar glass area on the lower cabinet of the center hallway bookcase. I have noticed that nobody is interested in me on the internet, because I supposedly have no product or service to sell. Alas, I have read and done a lot of research in my life, so my viewpoint might be different that a 30 second infomercial trying to sell somebody some gadget. I have learned to simplify my life by never visiting nearby Manhattan at night, since most people there seem to be enjoying a lot of cocktails at night, and I do not drink alcohol. It would seem to me that a lot of Manhattan people may have money and connections, but they do not always do their home work as to the reality of some situations versus the media hype. Investment bankers and other investors frequently visit areas and their operations before making any investment decisions. CIO

<888> 04/07/15 Tuesday 4:40 P.M.. On New Years Eve in 1993 when Thomas J. Watson Jr. died http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Watson_Jr. , Richard Van Marter had taken me to New Years Eve dinner nearby the Watson family home in the Belle Haven section of Greenwich at the http://www.homesteadinn.com/ where New Years Eve dinner was $200 a person. The restaurant was quite full. I can not recall what I ate for dinner, but it might have been rack of lamb. I recall there was a strolling violinist in the dining room, and I asked the violinist to play "Turkey in the Straw". The headlines in the Greenwich Time on New Years Day in 1994 was that Thomas Watson Jr. had passed away at the Greenwich Hospital. I guess since it was winter time on a holiday, the old hospital was not fully staffed which was frequently the case with the old hospital on holidays and weekends. I recall another friend had died of a heart attack at the old Greenwich Hospital on the Thanksgiving weekend. The Greenwich Hospital is not a major metropolitan hospital, so they are not as fully prepared for emergencies as a larger hospital. I know a lot of the heart patients are transferred to Yale New Haven Hospital, but what has me confused is that there are two major hospital nearby in White Plains, New York which are fully staffed 24 hours and a lot closer to the patients in Greenwich than Yale New Haven which can be a lengthy route if I-95 is crowded. CIO
<888> 04/07/15 Tuesday 3:55 P.M.. I once read that besides Tom Watson of www.ibm.com being ambassador to Russia during Jimmy Carter's administration, his brother Arthur Watson was once ambassador to France. Locally not much is known about the Watson family anymore, but one wharf rat on the waterfront told me Arthur Watson's son Bob Watson has a 150 foot yacht that he once sent out on voyage on Long Island sound just to pick up his dog somewhere, so more than likely despite the fact that IBM is not doing well recently, the Watson family probably have a little bit of money left from other investments like the http://www.greenwichhospital.org/ which is suppose to be delivering lots of babies in this area. I think another Watson family member from Norwich, Vermont is the current ambassador to France. I read recently that IBM employs 450,000 people worldwide, and they all have six figure incomes. My joke is, "Is that to the penny or the dollar." What has me confused if one looks at their web site, it is very high tech, and it is not clear how the average person can buy a product or service from them without dealing an expensive IBM Technician or Representative.
I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee ravioli which I seasoned with Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder, ground black pepper, celery salt, Italian spices, paprika, Frank's hot sauce, soy sauce, Lea and Perris Worcestershire sauce, and grated parmesan and Romano cheese. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO

I sat outside for a while. I chatted with the building custodian. The three pairs of boxer shorts are plaid blue, black, white, and pink. I put them with my other boxer shorts on the drawer of the mahogany bureau of the living room. The Zippo lighter refills came with Zippo cases that had been engraved. I put the two refills in the www.usmc.mil and the http://www.greenwichcountryclub.org/ Zippo lighter cases. One lifts the cotton flap on the bottom of the refill to fill them, and I filled them with Ronson lighter fluid. I put them in the http://www.cremaillere.com/ ash tray on the small brass and glass table at the hallway entrance in case any pipe smokers show up in this neck of the woods. In the old days President Gerald Ford http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ford smoked a pipe, so there might be other important people that smoke a tobacco pipe. I sure have enough Turkish pipe tobacco along with three packs of Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco that have been aged over five years. Admirals in the www.navy.mil used to be well known for smoking pipes. Also a lot of government intelligence gurus are known for smoking pipes in the old days. The Greenwich Country Club used to have golfers that looked like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower who smoked cigarettes. I put the small charteuse BIC lighter in the same ashtray on the white bookcase at the apartment entrance. I put the broken Zippo refills with the new engraved Zippo cases in the cardboard box on the far right of the large bedroom bookcase that has other lighters and lighter parts. CIO
<888> 04/07/15 Tuesday 12:55 P.M.. I chatted with a relative twice. It was on www.foxnews.com that this happened http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/watch-bees-attack-children-as-barack-obama-reads-to-them-at-annual-white-house-easter-egg-roll--video-10159199.html . It is really simple to get rid of bees. All one has to is find the bees' nest or hive and then find the Queen Bee, and very carefully move the Queen Bee to another more congenial spot and all of the other worker bees and drone bees will follow. An experience bee keeper would know how to do that. I think one has to smoke the bee hive with smoke to keep the bees from attacking. However, that is only with honey bees. The same procedure might not apply with other bees like African Killer bees that have been spreading out in this country for about four decades. Of course it is good to have honey bees around, because they pollinate the flowers and plants, so they bloom and yield fruit and vegetables and flowers. Of course African killer bees can swarm and attack in extremely large numbers, and be lethal to the person or animal they attack. Cigarette smoke tends to keep bees away, so if everyone went back to smoking cigarettes, and they took away all of the taxes on cigarettes, there would be no bee problem. Eleanor Roosevelt's plan to secure the White House against invaders was to plant Poison Ivy around the White House. It was on Bloomberg news this morning how much each crop in California uses in water per unit which is quite substantial. To save water in California, they should only grow figs and date palms, and in the rest of the country, we would have to get use to eating only those two products figs and dates. CIO

The weekend of Woodstock, I was hitchhiking down to Cape Cod from Weston, Massachusetts and out to either Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, and everyone I chatted with was headed to a pig farm in upstate New York which did not sound too interesting compared to the beach. However, when I was on my www.lfc.edu foreign study program in Greece during the late spring of 1972, I got to see the move Woodstock at a local theatre out in the country of Greece also the movie "Nicholas and Alexander". I could never afford to buy music, and I once had a Learjet 8 track player and about a dozen eight track tapes that I played over and over again. When I left for Europe on my first trip on January 1, 1972, the song "Bye, Bye, American Pie" was very popular, but the Europeans could not make sense of it. CIO

Back in the old days when Nelson Rockefeller was Vice President of the United States of America, and the Republican party threw fund raising events at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, they only served chicken pot pies, so you know the republican party knows how to stretch a buck.

I used a whisk, and I mixed it all together. I then took a ten inch frying pan, and I heated two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium electric burner heat. I then added a package of 7 ounces of Jones' flavored sausages, and I sautéed them over medium electric burner heat for eight minutes. I then removed the sausages to a plate, and I pour off the cooking fat into a cooking fat jar, and I put the frying pan back on the medium electric burner and added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil was hot again shortly thereafter, I added the egg mixture and then the sausages, and I scrambled the eggs and sausage mixture until it was cooked but still soft.

There is now a very tall thin apartment building on 57th street that looks to be about 50% taller than the Empire State building, but it is very thin. We then got out at the southeast concession area. I used the bathroom. We walked out to the south a little.

<888> 04/03/15 Friday 10:10 A.M. I opened the living room window, and I turned on the fan to air out the apartment. I sorted out the old magazines from the magazine rack along side the Ethan Allen recliner, and I threw out the old magazines. I chatted with a neighbor. CIO

<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 8:55 P.M. I've been there. It is also at the north entrance of Camp Pendleton www.marine.gov military base Nixon's Western White House for sale at $75 million , so it has pretty good security if you don't mind "Jar Heads". I did not catch any fish there surf casting. They used to have one of the three beacons for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN navigation system. The other two beacons were on www.nantucket.net and down south in Hobe Sound, Florida. The west coast is not too good for surf casting, since the shore line drops off too deeply. One needs a more gradual long sandy beach, where the fish come into feed. CIO
<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 7:55 P.M. I ate two 3 ounce Perdue chicken Italian cutlets, steamed baby carrots and a microwaved sweet potatoe with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of Lipton green tea with ginseng with Splenda sweetener and America's Choice lemon juice.

<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 11:40 A.M. I trimmed the dead leaves off the two minature palms and the golden pathos plant in the apartment. The golden pathos plant by the window did not have any dead leaves, since it gets more sunlight. I ate a 10.1 ounce Bertolli chicken Florentine Alfredo dinner with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes ginger ale. CIO
<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 10:40 A.M. I threw out four garbage bags of computer part boxes and other electronic parts boxes. The dumpster on the right is now for cardboard only. I sat outside for a while on a warm morning. I chatted with neighbors. CIO CIO
<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 9:15 A.M. I moved one of the boxes IDE hard drive cables to behind the bedroom door. I put out my pipe smoking supplies on the upper middle shelf of the left hallway bookcase. I have a Greenwich Country Club Zippo lighter and a www.marine.mil Zippo lighter that have not been used in a long time. I tried to repair them by putting in new Ronson flints, but they still would not work, so I put them in the black www.microsoft.com coffee cup on the top right of the new bookcase at the hallway entrance. I put a small chartreuse BIC lighter in the http://www.cremaillere.com/ ash tray just beneath it on the small brass and glass end table. That location is by the www.harvard.edu chair and near the two air purifiers, but I would not recommend smoking while sitting on the Harvard chair, since it is also just below the central building fire alarm smoke detector.
I ordered two NEW FULL SIZE CHROME ZIPPO INSERT for $4.99 each and $4.37 shipping for $14.35 total.

<888> 04/02/15 Thursday 3:05 A.M. After the last note, I hung the mirror that I took down. I put it on the right side of the bed behind the lamp. I moved some more bric-a-brac on to the top of the new CD case in the living room. I chatted with a friend. I will be picking up my friends on Easter Sunday afternoon at 3:30 P.M.. I went to bed at 7 P.M., and I woke up at 1 A.M.. I put clean linens on the bed. I started two loads of laundry. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I watered the plants. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 4:15 P.M. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a blueberry muffin, and then I will go to bed. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 3:25 P.M. I moved some of the more important CDs and DVDs from the bedroom entrance bookcase and wire shelf at the bedroom entrance to the top two shelves of the new bookcase at the hallway entrance. They are sort of hap hazardly organized. I also put some bric-a-brac on top of the new bookcase at the hallway entrance. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 2:40 P.M. I went out to throw out the garbage, and the building garbage and recycle containers were not there. Apparently, we are going to have a new garbage and recycle service. I chatted with neighbors. A neighbor threw out a medium height narrow bookcase, so I retrieved it, and I put it behind the www.harvard.edu chair at the hallway entrance. When I have time, I will use it to store computer CDs and DVDs. I have a lot of them. I put away my knits caps, gloves, mittens, and scarves in the hallway sweater closet. I took down a small mirror where the bookcase went, and I put it behind the bedroom door. I chatted with a friend. I picked up the mail. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 1:35 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 1:20 P.M. I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee ravioli which I seasoned with Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder, ground black pepper, celery salt, Italian spices, paprika, Frank's hot sauce, soy sauce, Lea and Perris Worcestershire sauce, and grated parmesan and Romano cheese. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 12:40 P.M. It says here http://www.dot.gov/highway-trust-fund-ticker , the U.S. Highway Trust Fund is bankrupt, so don't expect any big time construction projects anytime soon. There might be a few pot holes in one's driving experience. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 12:25 P.M. It says here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_Sound , there is a lot of seaweed in Long Island Sound, so maybe some local entrepreneur could try raking some of it up, and selling it to the local Japanese with lots of money that like eating seaweed. It also says that Long Island Sound is 250 deep at its deepest point, but if it is a rugged canyon out there, more than likely one could not build towers for a suspension bridge. When Al Gore's father designed the United States Highway System in the early 1950s, he sat down one night with a bottle of whisky and drew lines between various cities and towns of his various political allies, which is why the United States Highway System might not make any sense to more modern people. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 11:50 A.M. I tried to chat with some other people, but nobody is interested in a person that just reads obscure facts off the internet. I was told by one waterfront fisherman that they can not build a bridge across Long Island Sound from Long Island to Connecticut, because there is a deep under water canyon in between. Thus if one looks at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_suspension_bridge_spans , it is technically impossible in terms of today's technology. However, in a military event, they could probably build a network of pontoon bridges across Long Island Sound, but I don't anticipate any military events anytime in the near future in my life time. Thus one still has to drive through the New York City area to get out to Long Island. The Long Island landscape is not that dynamic, it is just flat and sandy unlike the rough rocky terrain of New England. Long Island is so flat that it reminds me of the Midwest. Also it is about six times more crowded out there, so people are always in a hurry as they try to navigate on and off Long Island. I think a Scott family member once owned all of Long Island until about 1706, but he sold it and moved to Jamaica which apparently was more profitable. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 10:10 A.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 9:45 A.M. I called up and wished a friend Happy 65th Birthday. I guess he is now officially retired. I will turn 65 years old on May 9, 2015; and I will be officially retired in Greenwich, Connecticut for whatever it is worth. I guess the younger generation for better or worse have taken over the country. Having observed a lot of younger people, when they were younger; I sort of wander what their viewpoint and outlook on the local situation is. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 8:50 A.M. I called up www.pipesandcigars.com about my order which has been back ordered, and they said it might be a week to two weeks before it is delivered. I think I have enough tobacco to survive until then, but I might have to smoke some of my cigar cigarettes. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 8:15 A.M. I made a couple of telephone calls regarding a very old case which is long since forgotten. CIO
<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 6:45 A.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I made my bed. CIO

<888> 04/01/15 Wednesday 5:05 A.M. I woke up ate a bag of popcorn at 8 P.M., and then I went back to bed. I woke up at 4 A.M.. I paid my http://optonline.net/ Digital Cable TV, Optimum Boost Plus, Optimum Voice, and my http://www.cl-p.com/ electricity bill and my www.verizon.net bill. My current Optimum bill was about $198, which is about $65 for high speed Cable Modem, $35 for Optimum Voice long distance and about $98 for premium Cable TV. However that includes $25 in discounts for all three packages which covers the two cable boxes which are about $12 and taxes other fees. I ordered 80 ounces of http://www.pipesandcigars.com/pipe-tobacco/40011/peter-stokkebye-84-turkish/#p-106299 for $1.46 an ounce for $116.80 total with free shipping. CIO
