Note:<888>7/20/98 Monday 9:45 P.M. EDT: I went downtown at 5 P.M. and parked in the center of Greenwich Avenue. I walked down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn. There were lots of youngsters on the harbor terrace having beverages. I walked further down the waterfront down to the end of Steamboat Road. I chatted with some fishermen down at the end. They were catching bunker again and blues and stripers. It was a pleasent evening around the water and I reminised about Key West in the old days. I walked back up the road and back by the waterfront terrace at the Greenwich Harbor Inn. I returned to the center of Greenwich Avenue seeing lots of Powerballers. I sat out for a while and chatted with the senior center custodian about life in general. I returned at 9:30 P.M. and filed this report. I am a bit bushed and will retire for the evening. CIO

Note:<888>7/20/98 Monday 4:30 P.M. EDT: I went out at after the last report. I drove down to Radio Shack in Cos Cob and bought the sterio male plug to male plug cord for $4.23. I now have speakers on the backup computer in the bedroom. I chatted with the two clerks at Radio Shack about tech. The one young fellow said he had beta tested Windows 98. I went back to central Greenwich and stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop and did a quick tour. I went downtown and parked off the upper part of Greenwich Avenue and bought 1 hour 15 fifteen minutes on the meter for 25 cents. I walked down the Avenue and stopped by the Greenwich Hardware Store and bought two red spicket handles for .79 each plus .09 tax for a total of $1.67 which I gave to my neighbors when I returned home for fetching water for watering the plants. I walked on down the Avenue and passed the Powerball lines at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue. I walked underneath the lower train station parking lot to cool off. I walked around by Island Beach Ferry docks and the ferry is not running since the beaches are closed because of pollution. I walked by the Greenwich Harbor Inn docks and the Yacht "Mercedes" from the Georgetown, Cayman Islands was pulling out for a cruise. I walked down in front of the General Re building and chatted with a fisherman about Steamboat Road. I walked back uptown. I chatted with another downtown resident. I continued up the Avenue in the heat with lots of pedestrian traffic. I got in the car and drove across the street to the Greenwich library. The elevator is broken again. I chatted with the dayshift security. I went inside and the weekly computer weeklies are not in yet. The library was cool and pretty busy for a summer afternoon since it is cooler. I returned home about 3:45 P.M. and had a diet Pepsi and ramen noodles and filed this report. I will update Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm before I upload this report. Well have a good evening. No sign of rain. If one has the funds and wants privacy a great getaway resort in Maine is "Biddleford Pool" which has only one Lobster milk store and a private golf club and direct ocean front houses, with a very rough ocean which would be difficult for children or frail adults or even experienced swimmers. Still for hermit types it might be enjoyable. Of course Maine has lots of places for vacation retreats along its long rugged coast, you just have to find your way around up there, and remember the Maine State bird, is the giant mosguito. Well enough Constant Comment. CIO

Note:<888>7/20/98 Monday 12:30 P.M. EDT: I went out at 8 A.M. and chatted with one of my neighbors. I went by the Bank of New York Putnam Trust on Mason Street and as usual their money machine was out of cash after the weekend. I went over to Greenwich Avenue, and there was a red head look alike of a Computer Software executive ahead of me at the money machine at the Chase branch. I joked about the Bank of New York Putnam Trust money machine always running out of cash on weekends. I drove over to the the Exxon Station next to the library and put $13.25 of premium in the car and the station proprieters told me the powerball sales were interfering with their filling station operations since people can't get into the lot. I went by the Hospital Thrift shop and bought a set of Labtec speakers for my backup computer for $2.50. They are missing the power transformer which I have another of and also the male to male sterio jack which I will buy in a little while when I go out. I went over up North Street and got on the Merrit Parkway East and went to get off at Highridge Road and went to the Appliance Service Center of Stamford and dropped off the Braun coffee maker to be repaired. I chatted with the proprieter about my www.mikescott.net/coffee.htm recipie. I also mentioned that outfits like Starbucks probably don't know how to maintain their expensive European Espresso and Capacino machines properly and one of these days one of them will explode. He agreed with me. I returned to Greewich by the same direction. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and down Steamboat Road and noticed quite a few people fishing at the bottom of Steamboat Road as is usual for the summer. I drove through Bruce Park and somebody had abandoned an old Oldsmoible by one of the noticable houses on the park. I drove by ELDC thrift and they did not have any goods I was interested in. I went by the Radio Shack and advised a foreign customer that if he bought a PDA he should get one he could back up to his computer. I notice another fellow walk into the shop that looked a bit like me, but younger. One always does a double take when one sees somebody who looks like you. However in the midwest and Scandanavia, Northern Europe and Russia my look is as common as dishwater. I purchased a power Y splitter to have in reserve for computer upgrades there for $3.99 plus .24 tax for a total of $4.23. I drove by the Greenwich Library and read the local newspaper. There were a lot of new faces there. I checked out a $60 book called the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit which comes with a tools CDrom. It is about 1765 pages long, which should make enjoyable summer reading. I chatted with a Norwegian resident about the Danish 300 foot Ferry making it from New York to South Hampton in 2 1/2 days. I also mentioned that any look alikes might not have my local knowledge of the area and expertise from the library after 40 years. There was one fellow sleeping in the lounge chair there who had spread newspapers over him like a blanket, so you could not identify him. I chatted with library security about trying to lose weight and I told him I was not being successful. I returned home and chatted with one of my neighbors. I was told that there is a hose for watering the flowers in the copier room but one needs a fawcet key which is less than a dollar at the hardware store. Most gardeners water in the early morning or late evenings, not during the heat of the day which can sear the plants greenery. It is a warm sultry day with possibility of showers, and lots of Powerball Players lined up downtown. I had peanuts and Ramen noodles for lunch along with Sprite and coffee. I will go back to Radio Shack for the Labtec male to male speaker cord. Well it is another busy day in wonderland, so let me get back to the routine. CIO

However, just because they think they get up early to observe, they may not even be local within the community, they just happen to know other people's early morning routines. Since I revolve around the clock 24 hours a day, I have to remind these early morning risers, just because they see somebody in responsibility or authority, they do not have designated authority themselves.

Note:<888>7/20/98 Monday 3:30 A.M. EDT: I went out yesterday morning at 8 A.M.. I got my Braun Cappacino machine sales slip updated at the Coffee Tree at the top of the Avenue. I chatted with a Swedish resident. I walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue and bought two croissants at St. Moritz. I ate them in front of the senior center. I observed the usual Sunday morning Starbucks crowd. I chatted with a Hurst Newspaper representative who carries a gold star from Palm Beach Country about the earth quake tidal wave in New Guinea wondering if it would sent out an opposite tidal wave towards the east which they frequently they do threatening Guam, the Marshal Islands, Hawaii, and the West Coast with a much higher tidal wave. We both observed that the Pacific Trench just off the Monterey Pennisula around Santa Cruz is very deep and there could be hit by a mile high tidal wave there since the trench is over a mile deep. He seemed to know quite a bit about the West Coast and since he represents Hurst News he obviously knows the west coast perspective. We reministed on different points of perspective, but since he was older we did not know that many of the same contacts. He was wearing one of those mafia pinky rings like Prince Charles wears. He asked my about Lake Tahoo and Palm Beach, and I chatted about Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Santa Cruz, Laguna, Nantucket, Manhattan, and a number of places that have changed over the years. He obviously is a smart person to have on the job. I returned home and got a tired spell and basically fell asleep from noon yesterday until 3 A.M. this morning. It was good to get a good nights rest. Well back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>7/19/98 Sunday 7:50 A.M. EDT: I went downtown yesterday morning at 4:30 A.M.. I parked in the center of town and walk down Greenwich Avenue to the bottom of Steamboat Road. I chatted about the shoreline with a visitor. I walked back up to the top of Greenwich Avenue chatting with a couple of people and returned to the center of town. I returned home at 8:30 A.M.. I then drove home and found out my new Braun coffee machine was malfunctioning. I fiddled with it a while. I went downtown about 10:30 A.M. and picked up a receipt for the coffee machine so I can have it fixed under the warranty, and walked around a couple of blocks during the sidewalk sale. I went home at received a phone call their party would be arriving to change at 3 P.M.. I opened up the window and aired out the cigarette smoke from the place with a fan. The family party and friends arrived to change at 3 P.M.. We chatted for a while and they departed at 4:15 P.M.. It was good to see them. I chatted with one of my neighbors downstairs for a while and came upstairs and had a bite to eat at 6 P.M. and went to bed at 8:30 P.M.. I got up this morning at 4:00 A.M. and cleaned the apartment and watered the plants after breakfast. I chatted with a friend just now, and I will go out for a little while this morning. It looks like it will be anther hot day. CIO

Note:<888>7/17/98 Friday 4:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 6 A.M. this morning. I had bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, vitamins, pink grapefruit juice and orange juice, and coffee. Coffee would set the pace for the rest of the day. I went out about 8 A.M. after chatting with a friend. I drove down to Greenwich Avenue, and I parked in front of the foreign study institute. I went across the street to CVS and bought 2 cans of honey roasted peanuts for $1.59 each for a total of $3.18. I ordered a prescription to be filled. I went for a walk while waiting. I walked up the Avenue. I noticed the Coffee Tree Coffee Bar at the top of the Avenue had a Braun E600/E650 Espresso Cappuccino Pro Machine in black color for sale regularly $165 for $40. I bought it and chatted with Carlos from Columbia about coffee. He was very congenial. I then put the machine in the car and walked back down the street to Greenwich Hardware and toured it. I chatted with the owner. I then walked up to CVS and picked up my perscription. I then drove down the Avenue to the Senior Center area and parked. I walked down the Avenue and purchased three pairs of light blue acrylic Burlington socks for $5 at Richards. I chatted with a fellow prep school collegue about general topics. I walked down the Avenue. I stopped by the lower avenue stationary store to observer the morning crowd. Not many Powerball people yet. I chatted with one back country landscaper about my golfing skills thirty years ago. He seemed to have a sense of humour. I walked back up the Avenue and chatted with another fellow from Columbia about coffee. I walked further up the Avenue and chatted with a former neighbor about general topics. I walked back to my car. I drove by the Hospital Thrift Shop and toured the shop. I drove home and unpacked the Braun Espresso Cappuccino Pro machine. It had everything but it was missing the four cup carraf. It came with two large black coffee cups and saucers. It is a very fancy machine. I decided to go back downtown and see if they had the carraf. There was a lot of traffic about 11:30 A.M. with sidewalk sales. I finally parked behind the foreign study institute. I walked back to the Coffee Tree and they did not have a caraff, but they said they would try to get one. They sold me a Italian MDF Gaggia Coffee grinder which they thought was broken for $8. It is a heavy duty coffee grinder like used in espresso bars. I put it in the car. I stopped by the Gourmet Gallery kitchen shop down the street and toured their stock. They have Krumps on sale. They gave me a card for "Culinary Parts Unlimited" where one can call 1-800-543-7549 for all sorts of culinary parts if I wanted to order a caraff. I went by Lecters and they had the four cup Espresso caraff. I walked down the Avenue and to the Greenwich Hardware store and they did not have a four cup caraff. I walked down to Starbucks and they did not have much in the way of coffee appliances. I walked to the bottom of the Avenue, and the Powerball people were all lined up at the two stationary stores. I chatted with another retiree at the bottom of the Avenue about Greewich in general. I walked back up the Avenue to and around St. Marys it started to sprinkle. I went to Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds. I noticed lots of tall bankers entering the building. I chatted with congenial security guard for a quite a while about living in Switzerland and he said Lagano is one of the nicest places. We talked for quite a while. At 1:30 P.M. I had to feed the meter. I went by Lecters and they wanted $22 for the Krumps caraff, which I decided not to buy. I went by the library and read the local paper and chatted with another regular. I went by the Grand Union and bought 48 packs of Ramen noodles of various types for $8, and a half gallon 2% milk for $1.67 for a total of $9.67. I returned home and fiddled with the new coffee grinder disasembling part of it to get it work. However, it turned out it has settings from 1 to 34, and on setting 1 it does not work, but on higher settings it works fine. I ground some coffee at setting 34, I don't know if lower setting are finer or courser. It did not come with a manual. I set up the Braun Espresso Cappuccino Pro machine and made a cup of coffee by filling the larger espresso basket with ground coffee and heated two thirds of a cup of water in the machine, and once the light came on I ran the water through to make a cup of coffee. I tried frothing milk, but I only had 2% milk and it did not froth, I think one needs whole milk or half and half. I drank the coffee with the hot milk and it was all quite delicious. I put the new coffee grinder where the blinder is, and moved the blender on the stacked up soda cases. I emptied the hot coffee grinds and cleaned up the counter and washed the coffee cups. I happen to remember I had an older in disrepair Krumps coffee machine in my cieling hideway, and sure enough it had a new 4 Espresso cup caraff with it, so I put the Krumps four Espresso cup caraff with the Braun coffee machine. I then filed this report. I will update Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm shortly. Well I might rest since I am a little tired and need to slow down shortly. CIO

Note:<888>7/17/98 Friday 1:00 A.M. EDT: My house guest was up at 5:45 A.M. this morning. I saw him off at 6:30 A.M.. I went to bed until 1 P.M.. I got up and had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange and pink grapefruit juice, coffee, and vitamins. I went out at 2:30 P.M. and stopped by Bank of New York Putnam Trust on Mason Street. I made my 3 P.M. appointment and afterwards stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove by Entee Computer and shot the bull about tech. They don't have any sidewalk sale items. I went downtown to see a full house at sidewalk sales people. I stopped by the Computer Play House store and they had a few cd items on sale. I decided not to purchase them, since they're Win 3.1 and DOS CD items and might install incopatable files on my system. I stopped by Zyns and got 2 buy 2 get one free of Merit Ultra lights. There were about 5 people lined up for the $95 million power ball. I had parked in front of Richards, so I browsed their sidewalk merchandise. They have mens calf dress socks 3 pairs for $5. I decided not to get them, since I walk a lot, I need a thicker sock to absorb the persperation on my feet. I find a thick wook sock is best for walking particularly in the hot weather since, the wool fibre breaths. All cotton socks with a little bit of dacron for elasaticity usually are just as good, but not as warm in the winter, and wool absorbs more moisture, and probably breaths better. If one's sneakers get too damp from long periods of walking, it is frequently recommended to have second pair to let them rest for a day to cool off, and air out, and dry out. Most people who walk a lot never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. They'll last longer if you alternate your shoes. I next went by the Greenwich library, and disgussed equine security operations. I also mentioned that the track housing property south of the airport runway, incompassing several hundred acres should be reserved for airport emergency expansion as per order of the Department of Defense directive #8987868584838281 signed by Brigadier General Marshall this date 7/17/98. Thus until the case is resolved by the chief judge military advocate, it will be necessary to continue excavation and leveling the surface, but the ultimate forseeable use of the property would be for a rather flat golf course, so that in times of national emergency the Army Corps of Engineers could rapidly expand the runway length, so that heavy Starlifter C5A aircraft could take off and land if necessary. It is my viewpoint that some cleaver group has procurred the Defence Operations Long Standing Plan for this area, and given it to parties whom are using to build facilities to undermind that plan. More than likely there are a lot of similar instances of this sort of activity around the country, so I advise all military personnel to maintain the existing status quo of current facilites, and not to change them so as to effect their defensive nature. Proper military arthorization would be needed by the proper command authorities and review by military architects to figure out how to augment these procedures. I recieved email last night that the United States embassey in Copenhagen, Denmark has been abandoned and it is not open, there is just an answering machine saying they are away. When I returned from the library, I had dinner of Stauffers Lasagna. I then had coffee. I went out and chatted with one of my senior neighbors who is also a coast observer, and she seemed fine. I went downtown about 8:30 P.M. and it was very busy with a formidable group of midwestern vacationers out east on summer vacation. Lots of families were walking around enjoying the restaurants, movies, Starbucks, and other facilities in the area. I walked down by the harbor and chatted with the General Reinsurance Building security personnel. While chatting with one desk clerk, a yacht in the harbor backfired three times and some of the personnel check out the situation. It sounded like a loud gun, but generally a rifle shot produces an echo, if it does not have a muszile or silencer, so I don't think it was a terrorist incident. There was a large party of individuals enjoying beverages and music on the Greenwich Harbor Inn terrace, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I returned back up the Avenue and bought a PowerBall ticket at Zyns and walked back up to the center of the Avenue and rested for a short spell. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue and back down around. I observed an older gentleman wearing the timeless classic hat of the tropics, the Panama Hat, and I said, "Good Evening Sir." I then continued down the Avenue and sat ouside until about 11:30 P.M. when the youngsters started showing up after the adults had cleared out. I returned home and filed this report. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . I have noticed quite a few personnel like wearing white denim jeans, I would advise people around the water that white denim jeans look fashionable, but if one wears them on the water and fell overboard white denim painters pants would be easier to get off if one had to shed them to try swimming. Just like the folks in the Navy use to wear bell bottoms since they are easier to change and to shed if one had to swim. I suppose us poor folks wearing shorts are always prepared to swim, but with my pot belly I would probably sink like a stone. I observed somebody down around the Harbor that has a pet Orca, so I would advise people to be cautious in their swimming habits. Orcas tend to be friendly to their trainers, but can be skittish around strangers. If the Orca is around, I dare say Flip and his colleagues are in the area too. Thus if you see any unusual sightings on the water, I suppose they marine life aquarium up in Norwalk would be interesting in knowing. Thus we probably need the services of a golf course designer like Robert Trent Jones, to come up with a compatable design for the new golf course south of the airport. I checked with a number of pilots and aircraft mechanics in the area, and none of them would live at the end of the runway, so I don't think any civilians will want to live there, particularly when the insurance company won't insure the project or anyone who would try to live there. Well back to the net, and enjoy your morning. I advise the Security Forces to maintain the status quo, and keep a sharp lookout. CIO

It looks like some sort of residential development at the end of the runway up there. I showed him the airport since he had not seen it. He took off at 3:30 P.M. and I went to bed. Another friend called at 9 P.M. and woke me up. I recieved another call from the friend here earlier and he is coming out here to stay this evening, since he has an appointment out here tomorrow. I said he could use the bedroom since I will probably be awake again all night again as usual. I have to be awake on Saturday afternoon for a family visitor. I have a 3 P.M. appointment tomorrow afternoon. I suppose it will be fairly slow again this evening. After my house guest goes to sleep, I suppose we will talk a while or do something, I will probably do computer work as usual and go out for a walk during the cooler morning hours.

I chatted with Maneros parking attendant about Steamboat Road. I chatted with a French gal about the French. I chatted with a Philipino dry cleaner about Volcanoes. I chatted with a New York weatherman look alike about Volcanoes. I chatted with a couple of senior gals about watching out for gas in the senior center. I chatted with a comuter on the train station platform, that Clinton's Secret Service agent should say "That He Sees from 10,000 to 100,000 people a day, so he can't remember every face". I chatted with a sportman about Tod's Point Beach situation. I went by the Hospital Thrift Shop and chatted with the staff about the need for blood donations. I went home and recieved a phone call from one of Queen Victorias honor guard's relatives who is on his return trip to Long Island from Boston and stopping by here about 1 P.M..

Note:<888>7/15/98 Wednesday 2:45 A.M. EDT: I went out at 10:30 P.M. and walked around the bottom of Greenwich Avenue. There was a barricade on Benedict Place to keep people from turning left off Greenwich Avenue. I asked an officer and he said they were doing gas line maintenance around the police station. I walked up to the top of the Avenue and sat on the bench across from the Presbyterian Church. They look like they have finished the curved stone wall on the front of the church. I guess they will now landscape it. I walked back down the Avenue. The Dome restaurant had a few people. That same old gold Buick with the black and gold California plates was there. I guess they gave up their homestead in California when they heard it might fall off in a billion years. I returned down to the bottom of the Avenue. I noticed about a 100 youths coming out of the late night showing of the movie theatre at the train station. I returned to the middle of the Avenue and sat out a while. I noticed that my Air Jordans have reflectors on the heels, so they can be seen from behind in the dark at night. I drove down by the Greenwich Harbor Inn. There were a lot of Massachussetts cars there. I noticed the black and white Tuxedo cat prowling around the Greenwich Harbor Inn car park. I chatted with the regular night desk attendant about events in Greenwich. I advised her she should replace the light Burberry carpet in the lobby that gets dirty fast with the dark chocolate pattern that does not show the dirt as much. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat and there were a few kids down by the pier viewing the stars. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought two Tony's frozen 4 Cheese pizzas for $4.99 off with a dollar off coupon, Virginia maple cured bacon $1.79, Stauffers frozen lasagna $2.99, GU raisin bran $2.19, GU 2 % milk $1.67, a large dozen eggs $1.39, for a total of $15.02 plus a $1.10 can return. I returned home and put the groceries away and started my laundry. I am doing the drying now. I will do a little net surfing after I fold the laundry in about 35 minutes. As you can tell Greenwich is pretty slow on Tuesday nights. I guess it is like a busmans holiday. Don't worry from many years of experience I am sure we will be a little busier in the day time tomorrow. CIO
