According to

http://mikelouisscott.com/audi1998.htm

http://mikelouisscottcom.cv.siteprotect.net/audi1998.htm

the old Michelin tires were put on the Audi by Tire Kingdom in Vero Beach, Florida on 4/21/2003 at 28,945 miles, and they were Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus, 205/55HR16, 71970 and were 30,000 mile tires, and they cost $704.

Thus they had 37170 miles of wear on them.  Mavis told me according to the side wall of the Michelin tires they took off, they were manufactured in the year 2000.

www.mavistire.com had a 150 locations in the New York area Mavis Discount Tire Locations where I can get the tires serviced if need be with the road hazard warranty.  Also I can get the tires rotated for free at the Greenwich, Connecticut location, when they need rotation.

According to this the Goodyear Allegra is a 75,000 mile tire warranty manufactured for Samsclub Goodyear Frequently Asked Questions

However, www.samsclub.com does not show the tire in my size, so one can not compare it with the price that I paid.

I drove over to the Mavis Tire Company on 1118 East Putnam Avenue 1-203-637-7529.

They fixed my spare tire valve.  They brought to my attention that my old Michelin tires were made 10 years ago, and although they still had tread life on them, they were splitting at the seams.  They told me the Audi would not be safe to drive to Maine with them on.  I chatted with a relative, and the relative agreed to buy me a new set of tires.

Message Follows:

June 21, 2010

Mr. Michael Scott

71 Vinci Drive

Apartment #206

Greenwich, Connecticut 06830

Dear Mr. Scott:

            Thank you for contacting me with regard to H.R. 4439, the Tobacco Tax Parity Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter.

            Tobacco products are subject to excise taxes, which are taxes levied on the production, importation, or sale of particular products. In many cases, excise taxes are used to fund particular national priorities or programs. For example, proceeds from the excise taxes assessed on tobacco and tobacco-related products are used to finance the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), which provides access to quality health care to millions of uninsured children.

            As you may be aware, tax rates for roll-your-own cigarette tobacco and pipe tobacco are substantially different. Currently, roll-your-own cigarette tobacco is taxed at a rate of $24.79 per pound, while pipe tobacco is taxed at $2.83 per pound. In order to address concerns that some tobacco companies have simply begun labeling roll-your-own tobacco as pipe tobacco in order to avoid the tax, Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) has introduced H.R. 4439, the Tobacco Tax Parity Act. This legislation would amend tax law to make the rate of tax for pipe tobacco the same as for roll-your-own cigarette tobacco.

            This legislation has been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means in the House of Representatives. At the time of this writing, no similar legislation has been introduced in the United State Senate. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind should this or similar legislation come before the Senate for consideration during the 111^th Congress.

            Again, thank you for contacting me. If you would like to stay in touch with me on this or other issues of importance to you, please visit my website at http://dodd.senate.gov and subscribe to receive my regular e-mail issue updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me again in the future if I may be of assistance to you in any way.

            Sincerely,                                                                                                                                          

            CHRISTOPHER J. DODD

            United States Senator

I went outside, and a neighbor had locked himself out of a vintage Oldsmobile sedan, so myself and another neighbor tried to open the door with a coat hanger.  I was able to latch the inside door handle, but the door would not open, since the car was automatically locked from inside preventing the inside door handle from opening the door.  We looked around the parking lot for the lost key.  I gave a neighbor three cigarettes.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as last night.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/17/10 Thursday 6:45 P.M.  I woke up last night, and I ate a Kaiser roll.  I finally woke up at 10 A.M. this morning.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% mixture of fruit juice punch and cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with pure via and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I threw out the garbage.  I went to my 1 P.M. appointment.  I gave the pair of small sunglasses with quilted case to the receptionist to give to the other volunteer receptionist tomorrow when she volunteers.  I then went downtown, and I stopped by the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop.  They have a nice love seat in there that somebody might need.  It would not work in my apartment, since I need the Ethan Allen recliner more.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Apple Ipad store, and I checked out the new Ipad.  My homepage picture comes out very long on the Ipad.  It does work for me.  However, at $500 for the 16 gigabyte basic wireless model, I could not afford it, and I do not really need it, since I already have three very good laptops http://mikelouisscott.com/computer.htm .  I chatted with one of the staff from Meli Meli who was from Nice, France; and they will be moving into the new location on the northwest corner of Grigg Street and Greenwich Avenue where the Chinese Laundry use to be.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played a "Spicy Hot Cash" scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I toured the parking lot of the Antique Car showroom across from the Greenwich Train station.  They still have Aristotle Onnassis' small orange Fiat with the wicker seats for sale that use to go on his yacht.  I gave the Rolls Royce mechanic a few tips on fixing old Mercedes.  I walked upper Greenwich Avenue, and I toured CVS.  They have 12 packs of Schweppes ginger ale in cans there for $5.99 plus can deposit of a nickel a can.  There is a bathroom in back opposite the photo counter, but it was locked.  They are still remodeling.  I mentioned to a staff member from Scotland, I used to get bored in New Canaan, Connecticut in the winter, and I once drove up to Canada on the New York thruway, and I crossed into Canada north of Buffalo, and I went to the duty free liquor store, and I bought a 1.5 liter bottle of Welcome to Grand Marnier website for about $30, and I returned back to New Canaan the same day.  That was when I had the yellow 1971 Subaru that got 52 miles per gallon.  I also stopped by Lake Placid on the way back, but not much was going on right before the opening of the winter Olympics there.  I think that was around 1980.  I finished my walk of Greenwich Avenue.  I use the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center.  I sat out for a while in the rear park, and I smoked a couple of cigarettes, since the front park was busy with non smokers.  I chatted with a friend and a relative.  The relative is getting me a size 17 inch neck Oxford white shirt with 35 inch length sleeves.  I then went by the Greenwich Library.  Somebody had a Lazy W emblem on their GMC from the King Ranch King Ranch, but it was a Connecticut vanity plate.  Maybe there are people from Texas here.  I toured the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a staff employee.  I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of Yesterday's Kaiser rolls for $1.50, a four pack of Yesterday's muffins for $2, 16 ounces of Smart Balance Spread for $3.49, a six pound whole Eye Round of beef for $2.99 a pound for $18.03, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, and fresh Chiquita bananas for .69 a pound for $2.14 for $29.95 total.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries, and I chatted with a relative twice.  I will cook have of the eye round medium rare seasoned generously with garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning and with Jack Daniels barbecue sauce on it at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 48 minutes in the Sharp convection oven and freeze the other half uncooked.  I will eat two half inch slices of it with my usual steamed vegetable mixture with olive oil and Smart Balance spread, and watered down punch and a cup of green tea with pure via sweetener and lemon juice.  CIO     

Note: <888> 06/16/10 Wednesday 9:55 P.M.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I guess I will go to bed soon.  Although, I pay a lot of money for digital cable television, I frequently find it a distraction from my own personal reality. 

Partly cloudy and windy tomorrow and 54 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit.  I have a 1 P.M. appointment tomorrow.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/16/10 Wednesday 9:25 P.M.  Basically the summers around Greenwich, Connecticut which is where I think I am at are very short summers.  Thus when we have the warmer weather we try to enjoy it, but we also try to do whatever we can do for another long cold winter, when we have plenty of time to rest.

Remember Aesop's Fables The Ant and the Grasshopper .  Since I work with personal computers and the internet, I try to keep busy with it during the warmer months during the summer.  Basically my activity is based on my own personal experiences which might be different from other people in the area.

I did not make it outside much last winter except for when it was sunny and above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so I got a bit of rest.  I did spend a lot of time worrying about them replacing the windows with double pane windows.  It took a number of days for me of moving furniture to down size the apartment to make the window work area open for the window installers.  Thus the apartment has a different look.  However, there is no longer a sofa or other comfortable chairs except one, but there are still plenty of chairs set up at computers along with a couple of other chairs that are reasonably comfortable, but the seating arrangements are not in a comfortable pattern for conversation groups, but since I never have guests anymore, that is really not a problem.  It is nice having a little bit more space in the apartment.  I still have to use a lot of my storage space for the spare computer parts that I have acquired for my older desktop computers.  However, for the type of computer activity that I do, such as blogging, email, and reading the news, I do not need any faster computers.  I am not a computer gamer, so I have not invested in that faster technology.

I guess by modern standards, I might be stuck in the stone age, but I do not travel except for summer trips to Kennebunkport, Maine to visit with family.  By not wandering around the Greenwich, Connecticut area which I have done many times in the past over the years, I am able to save a bit of money for my personal computer and internet activities.  I have lived in Manhattan, so I do not feel the need to revisit areas that I have seen many times before.  Having also lived on remote islands like Nantucket and Key West, I enjoy the quieter life in Greenwich while at the same time I am able to take advantage of some of the more modern conveniences which one does always find in remote locations.  CIO

When I was walking downtown yesterday, I noticed a sign in the restaurant across the street from the Greenwich movie theatre on Railroad Avenue that Greenwich Close apartments across the street from the Greenwich Town Hall have one, two, and three bedroom apartments for rent.  There is a telephone number on the sign.  I think they start at around a $1,000 a month.  CIO

The Greenwich, Connecticut Red Cross was asking for volunteer blood donors at the Department of Social Services at the Greenwich Town Hall yesterday, so I guess they need blood.  I told them that I smoke cigarettes, so I am not suppose to donate blood. CIO

Note: <888> 06/15/10 Tuesday 6:50 P.M.  I went out after my last note.  I went to my 3 P.M. appointment.  I gave them the information for my Renter's Rebate.  They have also submitted the payments for my this month's electricity bill and my Cablevision bill to pay for the new Frigidaire 8,000 BTU air conditioner with remote control that I am using in the living room.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I was a bit hungry, and I looked at some of the restaurant windows, but they are all too expensive.  One could always buy a pastry at St. Moritz, but I felt like saving my money.  I noticed at the renovation site where the Chinese Laundry use to be at Grigg Street, the listed name of the owner is a business around where Versailles restaurant is located on Greenwich Avenue next to Starbucks, so maybe Versailles is moving there.  I was told by my 3 P.M. appointment at the southern end of Indian Field Road at Railroad Avenue near the Pet Pantry there is a rotisserie chicken restaurant where one can get a half of chicken and two vegetables for about $9.  I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and they sold me another spare Duracell 6 volt lantern battery for $5.25 at cost, since they consider me a wholesale customer.  They do not carry Lye or Hydrogen Chloride, but I decided it would be do dangerous to make bacon soap.  Plus the lye might cause the paint to come off my measuring cups and stain my other plastic mixing bowls.  You can not use lye with metal.  I stopped by CVS, and I picked up a prescription.  They are now remodeling the pharmacy area.  I stopped by Bestever Cleaners, and I picked up my two Oxford shirts with light starch for $4.20 total.  I stopped by the Chase Bank just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue.  I finished my walk.  I put my purchases in the Audi.  I tried to use the bathroom at the senior and the arts center, but they now lock up the bathroom after the senior center closes.  I think there is probably one upstairs on the second floor.  I returned home.

I had to pay $50 for Le Blanc up in Norwalk, Connecticut to get rid of my 1976 white Volvo sedan, when I got the black 1998 Hyundai Accent which I had for a couple of years and then the 1998 green Volvo 850 wagon which got flooded after a couple of years followed by the 1993 Burgundy Buick Roadmaster wagon and finally the current grey 1998 Audi  A6 sedan.  Before the white Volvo sedan I had a yellow 1976 and then a green 1978 Volkswagen Dasher wagons.  Before that I had a 1972 Burgundy Volvo sedan and before that a yellow 1971 Subaru wagon and before that a blue 1971 Volvo sedan and after that a 1966 blue Chevrolet Biscayne sedan and before the blue volvo a number of vintage Mercedes and before that my first family kids car was a 1965 black Mustang Convertible.  After so many cars, I used to like driving, but I can not bring myself on my limited budget to spend so much on gasoline, and also since the 1998 Audi A6 was an expensive car, when it was new, I do not want to risk having to many expensive maintenance bills, which I really can not afford, so I do not drive it too much.

In college, I had a 1951 black Mercedes 300B sedan, and a 1963 black Mercedes 300C sedan, a black 1962 Mercedes 220S sedan, and 1961 grey Mercedes 220SE convertible, and in Greece, I had a 1965 red and white Opel wagon.  I might be wrong on some of the years.

I have noticed when I have visited Old Greenwich over the years, they use to promote a lot of different beers at the entrance of the Greenwich Food Mart.  On my visit yesterday, I noticed several of the shop windows are now filled with wine corks, so I guess Old Greenwich has become more upscale in their recreational beverage consumption.  I guess with all of those over worked people walking around Tod's Point, they need a little bit of relaxing alcoholic beverage after their days at the beach.  CIO

When I tried sleeping on the beach on the west side of Lanzarote back in February 1972, the stars all disappeared, and it became pitch black.  I felt like there was something else on the beach like a sea monster or something, and it made me nervous, so I worked my way back up the cliff, and I rode my Moped back into town.   Since Lanzarote lies at least a hundred miles off the coast of Africa I think, I thought it might have been some unknown sea monster, but there are large crocodiles in Africa that might have made their way over to Lanzarote who knows.  The article above sort of makes me wander.

I was shot at while walking out to the picnic area of the southwest park of Tod's Point here in Greenwich, Connecticut about 10 or 11 years ago during the last Thursday of May.  I told a number of people including the Greenwich Police.  There was a florescent orange target marker about 1.5 inches square nailed in with a galvanized nail at the base of a tree where the shot knocked the bark off the tree from the limb above me.  I also noticed that there were bullet holes in the no clamming signs in that area.  Today, when I mentioned it to the French biker, I mentioned there were no boats on the water then, and the land was two to five miles away on the opposite side, which is too long for a sniper shot.  The French biker said that Navy Seals can pop out of the water and shoot at their targets, which got me to thinking more about the unsolved incident.  That day earlier, I had chatted with a Doctor Palai from India who wore a black turban, when he was viewing the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  Perhaps, he was involved with henchmen that thought I was Warren Anderson from Union Carbide, and they wanted revenge for the Bhopal disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .  That same day George W. Bush showed up on television here from Kennebunkport, Maine, so before he was President, he could have been campaigning in this area, and I was mistaken for him.  It was a colder day, so I was wearing my New Zealand brown leather bomber jacket with my green Australian bush hat, so I could have been mistaken for someone else.  I called up Donald Trump, and I told him; they might have thought I was him.  He lived in the waterfront in this area at the time.  Also at that time John F. Kennedy Junior was a regular jogger at Tod's Point, so they might have thought I was him.  There was also a Connecticut State Policeman from this area with the last named Major that died recently, and he had a bit of my look.  I have a bit of former Lieutenant Keegan's look of the Greenwich Police Department back then. Also that day, there was a lot of traffic of people coming from down south moving up north for the summer.  When I was coming back from Tod's Point, I saw a 1954 two tone  dark blue and light blue Ford station with a surf board on the roof with South Carolina license plates on it which I had seen in the area before.  As I was crossing the Indian Field Road bridge passing the Ford wagon, the driver waived at me.  At the time, I also looked a bit like William Clay Ford who was well photographed then.  Whatever, the case; the net result of the event is that no law enforcement agency ever interviewed me, and the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut just replaced the No Clamming signs with the bullet holes in them at Tod's Point.  When I just called up the www.fbi.gov in Bridgeport, Connecticut to remind them of the event, they just hung up on me midway through the telephone call.  It sort of makes me wander what the United States Government is doing with our taxes or even the local government, if all they do is cover up events that to them do not matter.  If that happened in Illinois, every state trooper for a hundred miles would be on alert.  CIO

For a change instead of listening to the BBC, I am listening to UK AWAY FM local english radio station for Lanzarote & Fuerteventura .

Having been in Lanzarote for three in February 1972, I know a bit about how remote out in the middle of nowhere, it is.  Still the local expatriates seem to enjoy it.  I think they probably have some British wave surfer types whom go there. 

There use to be a bunch of hippies living on the northeast corner of the island which was still very active volcano wise with it gradually evolving out of the ocean.

There is no natural water on the island, so people have to be very conservative with water, and they only flush after number 2 and not number 1.

One useful connection I have in my neighborhood in Byram, Greenwich, Connecticut for those people whom go to www.nantucket.net in the summer or go up to Vermont skiing in the winter or other similar areas is that there is www.jeep.com dealership across the street from JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE CITY | New Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep dealership in Greenwich, CT 06830 which might come in handy for those environmentalists whom like driving vehicles on environmentally sensitive beaches in such areas as Nantucket.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/03/10 Thursday 2:00 P.M.  I chatted with the relative again.  Apparently the relative is without internet access and Cable TV, since a storm last night.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer and head out to my 3 P.M. appointment.  CIO
