Scott's Notes 07/22/01

Note: <888> 07/31/01 Tuesday 9:00 P.M.: I put clean sheets on the bed. I just finished doing two washing machines and two dryers worth of laundry. I used my new Rubbermaid Swedish colors blue and yellow laundry bin on wheels to roll the laundry out the hall down the six stairs and down the hall and down the elevator and over to the laundry room, with the white Rubbermaid basket on top of it. This is a much safer way of transporting the laundry than trying to carry it all the way. Since I don’t used Windows 2000 or Internet Server IIS, I don’t have to worry about the “Code Red” virus. CIO

Note: <888> 07/31/01 Tuesday 6:15 P.M.: Well, I went out; and I stopped by the hospital thrift shop. They have a $10 a bag sale going on. I stopped by the waterfront. I went over to the library, and I read the local paper and four computer newsweeklies, and PC Magazine. I then returned home. I chatted with a relative. I had some of the honeydew melon and blue berry mixture, the rest of the Arnold cheese and garlic croutons, a bag of microwave popcorn, and ice tea. CIO

Note: <888> 07/31/01 Tuesday 1:05 P.M.: I changed my Diamond Multimedia display adaptor setting from 16 bits to 32 bits. I went through my daily routine http://mrscott.com/scotwork.htm . I sifted through my email. Well I guess I will have a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments for lunch with iced coffee and the honeydew melon and blueberry mixture. Then I will clean up and go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note: <888> 07/31/01 Tuesday 11:15 A.M.: Well, I was up at 5 A.M.. My house guest stayed the night and left without breakfast. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, coffee, vitamins, and orange juice. I then fell back asleep until now. CIO

Note: <888> 07/30/01 Monday 8:45 P.M.: I went out after the last message, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by the Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought another ultrasonic insect zapper for $1 similar to the one I have on my microwave oven. I put it on my bedroom desk. I then drove down by the waterfront. I next drove over to Port Chester, New York to Odd Job. I bought a Rubbermaid clothes hamper blue and yellow color on wheels with lid for $9.99. IBM 10 pack of 3.5 inch computer disks for $1.99, Balsamic vinegar from Medina, Italy for $1.49, Crowning touch yellow mustard 20 oz. .69, 2 Fuji 9 volt batteries $1.59 each, a veggie brush .99 plus $1.09 New York state tax for $19.42. I returned home, and I had ice tea. I put the new Rubbermaid hamper on wheels in the bedroom in front of the white bureau. I then relaxed a bit. A friend came over for dinner, and we had the same chefs salads with steamed yellow and green squash and corn on the cob with ice tea. CIO

Note: <888> 07/30/01 Monday 1:25 P.M.: I went to bed this past morning at 4 A.M., and I was up at 10:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with a friend. I made a couple of other telephone calls. I went out about noon, and I washed my car. I have a Rubbermaid bucket and two 50 foot lengths of hose in the trunk of the car with two spray nozzles. I keep a spigot handle in the Volvo glove box, to turn on the spigot. Thus the car is washed, and two months of grime is washed off of it. I guess I might clean up and go out in a little while after I have some of the honeydew melon and blueberry mixture with iced coffee. Have a good day. CIO

Note: <888> 07/29/01 Sunday 10:40 P.M.: I went back out. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront. At sunset we had ominous dark clouds in the west probably from the volcanic activity at Mount Mayon in the Philippines http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010729/sc/philippines_volcano_dc_4.html that one could view in the western sky. In the old days in Ireland before the Irish famine they use to have beautiful cloudy sunsets the preceding summer from the volcanoes in Iceland, which caused it to get colder in Ireland the following winter causing the Irish famine for a period of time. Needless to say, it looks like most people have enough here to eat, and are actually trying to lose weight. I drove by the Food Emporium just before closing on Sunday night at 9 P.M., and I bought a 3 liter container of Bertolli Olive oil on sale for $11 off for $6.99. I then returned home, and I relaxed a bit and had some ice tea. CIO

Note: <888> 07/29/01 Sunday 6:25 P.M.: I slept from noon to 3 P.M.. I had the same chef’s salad as yesterday with steamed corn on the cob, green beans, and sliced yellow squash and iced coffee. I backed up the C: drive to the D: drive. I ran Norton Disk Doctor and Norton SpeedDisk. Time for some fresh air. CIO

Note: <888> 07/29/01 Sunday 11:30 A.M.: I got out my Creative MP3 Live CDs, and I installed Cakewalk Express a music program. I also installed and trained IBM Via Voice 4.2 special edition that was on the CDs too. The Via Voice program works fine with continual dictation on my machine and seems to have good word recognition. CIO

Note: <888> 07/29/01 Sunday 8:15 A.M.: I was up at 7 A.M., and I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. Time for some regular computer work. CIO

Note: <888> 07/28/01 Saturday 8:45 P.M.: I went back out before tea time, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a couple of locals. I then went down by the waterfront, and I chatted with a former neighbor. I gave the former neighbor the Heineken hat since the former neighbor is also of Dutch origin. I returned home, and I made the same chef’s salad as yesterday adding more sliced olives, croutons, sliced plum tomatoes, and Vermont cheese pieces. I had the chefs salad with the Italian balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing. I also had two ears of steamed corn on the cob with steamed sliced zucchini and iced tea. Well, it seems a lot of people were out enjoying the cooler weather. Not much else happening. Time to start winding down for the day. CIO

Note: <888> 07/28/01 Saturday 3:05 P.M.: I went out, and returned a book at the Greenwich Library; and I then stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I next stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought a Australian Survivor Outback Canteen for .50. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I bought a apple muffin at St. Moritz bakery for $1. I sat out downtown and ate it, and I chatted with a local. I then drove down by the waterfront. I next bought $9.90 of premium gasoline at $1.939 a gallon at Exxon next to the library. I then went by Stop and Shop, and I bought 10 ounces of Vermont white sharp cheddar cheese for $1.88, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter $1.69, pickling cucumbers at .79 a pound $1.57, 2 S&S Spanish olives .99 a jar, Plum tomatoes at $1.39 a pound $1.44, 2 pound bag of onions $1.49,, yellow squash at .79 a pound .37, green squash at .79 a pound .41, four ears of sweet corn .63 all for $11.46 total. I next stopped by the Arnold Bread store outlet, and I bought a 8 roll pack of hotdog buns for .99 and Arnold cheese garlic croutons for $1.19 for $1.96 total. I then returned home. I took the pickling cucumbers and quartered them lengthwise. I put them in the pickle jar that had the asparagus pickling juice in it, and I saved the rest of the juice in another jar. I had two hotdogs with buns and condiments for lunch with ice tea and lemonade mixture. I then relaxed a bit. CIO

Note: <888> 07/28/01 Saturday 9:45 A.M.: I finished apartment cleaning and watering the plants. I also took the Glade Plugin scent container and dumped out the lemon oil back into the lemon oil container leaving a coating of lemon oil and then with the small funnel from the Danish end table bar, I added two thirds English Leather cologne and one third Bijan cologne, so hopefully it will work with a more delightful scent. It is plugged in above the middle kitchen counter. I will now have some of the honeydew melon and blueberry mixture with the lemonade and ice tea mixture. I will then clean up and go out for daytime activity. CIO

Note: <888> 07/28/01 Saturday 7:25 A.M.: I was up at 6:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I moved the heavy square ashtray from the brass and glass coffee tables in the living room to the brass and glass coffee table on top of the bedroom desk, and I put a yellow BiC lighter in it. I still have the rectangular glass ashtray on the living room brass and glass coffee tables with a red and a white BiC lighter on either side of it. Time for my weekly housekeeping routine. CIO

Note: <888> 07/27/01 Friday 8:45 P.M.: I finished off the small container of honeydew melon and blue berries, but I still have the big flat Rubbermaid container of the mixture. I made up a batch of http://mrscott.com/icetea.htm this time using six Lipton orange pekoe tea bags, five Bigelow tea bags, two Lipton Green tea bags, one Twinings Earl Grey tea bag, and one Twinings Prince of Wales China black tea bag for a total of fifteen tea bags, along with a half cup of sugar, and a couple of teaspoons of Angostura bitters. I added this all to a gallon of boiling water, and I let is steep for an hour with a lid on it stirring occasionally. I then added one fourth of the mixture to each of four 96 ounce orange juice jugs and filled them up with cold water. I put them in the refrigerator. I also moved the flower oil painting from behind the bedroom desk to above the right night stand in the bedroom. I move the Audubon picture of the Great Blue Heron from behind the apartment entrance door behind the umbrellas to the back side of the long mahogany bureau, so it shows into the living room sitting area and the day bed area. I just chatted with a friend for a while. Well time to start winding up for the day. CIO

Note: <888> 07/27/01 Friday 5:55 P.M.: I went back out, and I sat out by the waterfront until about 2 P.M.. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at a couple of locations. I returned home. I put the 2 foot by 3 foot by two foot high brass and glass coffee table on the bedroom desk. I arranged the lamps on the upper table and other desk bric a brac on the desk. It makes it hard to sit at the desk, but I never sit at that desk much. If one sat at the bedroom desk, one would have to worry about bumping one’s head on the brass and glass coffee table. I then clean my Volvo automobile windows inside and out. It has rained so much recently, I have not bothered washing the car since I waxed it in mid May. It does come out looking well when I wash it though. I then made a chef’s salad for dinner. I washed about a dozen small to medium Romaine lettuce leaves and arranged them on a large plate. I then cut two third inch slices of the medium rare rump roast and cleaned and diced them into about one inch by half inch strips and put them on the Romaine lettuce leaves. I then sliced in small sections a half tomato and diced a third of a medium onion and added them. I next sliced two half slices of mozzarella cheese into 1 inch by half inch sections and added it along with a half dozen chopped olives and grated parmesan cheese. I used the homemade salad dressing I had made earlier in the week. I had the chef’s salad for dinner with two ears of steamed corn on the cob and a sliced zucchini along with a mixture of iced tea and lemonade. I put two white BiC lighters in the living room coffee ashtrays. CIO

Note: <888> 07/27/01 Friday 12:25 P.M.: I went out, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went over to the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. They have a $20 a bag sale going on, and everything else in the shop is half price. I bought a pair of 12 inch by 15 inch by 21 inch brass and glass end tables for $30 for the pair together. I walked over to Putnam Trust Bank of New York to get the extra money for the purchase. I then returned home. I put the dark oak table I was using as a coffee table back in the bedroom in front of the white bureau. I put the two new brass and glass end tables facing each other, so they form a 12 inch by 30 inch by 21 inch high coffee table. I put the four glass coasters on the table with the large glass ashtray and the square glass ashtray from the bedroom desk along with the TV and the GE air conditioner remotes and two BiC lighters, one red and one white. I moved the blue and yellow BiC lighters to the long bureau with the brass eagle ashtray. I then had to reinstall both Microsoft Money 2000 and Microsoft Money 99 and all systems seem back to normal. I had a dish of Honeydew melon chunks with blueberries and iced coffee for lunch. Well time to go back out. CIO

Note: <888> 07/27/01 Friday 9:00 A.M.: I finished going through my daily routine http://mrscott.com/scotwork.htm . I also sifted through my email. Well time to clean up and go out. Have a good day. CIO

End of Scott's Notes week 07/27/01:

Note: <888> 07/27/01 Friday 7:25 A.M.: I went to bed at 9:30 P.M. last night. I was up at 6:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and the honeydew melon and the blueberry mixture. I will now send out my weekly note. CIO

Note: <888> 07/26/01 Thursday 7:55 P.M.: I had a few quarter inch slices of the beef I cooked yesterday with Worcestershire sauce, steamed corn on the cob, green beans, sliced yellow squash with a glass of ice tea. Time to start ending the day. CIO

Note: <888> 07/26/01 Thursday 6:45 P.M.: I uninstalled the Dragon Naturally Speaking 3.0 addin for Microsoft Word, and now when I start Microsoft Word 2000, I get a clean start without the Dragon Icons. CIO

Note: <888> 07/26/01 Thursday 6:35 P.M.: I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home. I had some iced coffee. I reinstalled Dragon Naturally Speaking 3.0 . I works quite fine with the extra memory with the dictation program that comes with it and with WordPerfect 8.0. It however does not work with Microsoft Word 2000, although the icons are displayed in the program. However, the registry entry error while opening Microsoft Word 2000 error message has disappeared. CIO

Note: <888> 07/26/01 Thursday 1:45 P.M.: I was up last night until 9 P.M.. I was up this morning at 7 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I have been working on the computer. I could not reinstall Microsoft Word 2000 because, they system looked for files from Microsoft Word 2000 SP-1 that were no longer on the system and not available. I accidentally deleted Excel 4.5, so I reinstalled it from Windows Suite 98. I then reinstalled Word 97, but I could not reinstall Word 2000, so I finally went to the registry and deleted all entries for “SP-1”. I was then able to reinstall Word 2000 and its updates. This all took some time. Word 2000 now closes out properly, but it still looks for a directory for “Natural Word”; which I have not been able to find to delete in the registry yet. Well time for the rest of the spaghetti and tomato sauce from yesterday. I then will clean up for a 3 P.M. appointment. CIO

Note: <888> 07/25/01 Wednesday 6:25 P.M.: I went back out. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out a bit. I drove by the waterfront. I then went to the Greenwich Library. I found two quarters on the floor. I read the Wall Street Journal, the Greenwich Times, Eweek, Computerworld, and Interactive Week. I then stopped by the Arnold Bakery outlet. I bought two loaves of seven grain bread for $1.78 both. I then returned home. I had some ice tea and lemonade. I then defrosted some tomato meat sauce I had in the freezer. I boiled a box of spaghetti noodles, and I had half the spaghetti noodles and tomato meat sauce with parmesan cheese and a little olive oil. I also had a half glass of iced coffee. Well NOAA weather warning is warning of thunderstorms, so I will start to relax for the evening. CIO

Note: <888> 07/25/01 Wednesday 1:25 P.M.: Well I went out, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought a black men’s leather wallet for $2.50 and a glass bottle with cap for .50 for $3 total. I then drove down by the waterfront. I gave one of the fisherman with a Chevrolet Sports Vehicle the Chevy fishing cap. I then went by ELDC Thrift Shop, and I sifted through all the caps, and I bought a Crazy Flamingo cap and Green Cap with a Red Dragon on it for $4 apiece and put them in the back seat of my car. They’re not half price today. I then went by the Food Mart, and I bought two Tropicana 96 ounce orange juice Grovestand style with calcium for $2.99 apiece, a boneless rump roast at $2.18 a pound for $7.29, a regular size honeydew melon for .99, 8 ears of sweet corn for $1.99, two Florida green squash and two Florida yellow squash at $1.29 a pound for $2.84 for $18.72 total. I then stopped by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a head of Romaine lettuce for .99 and a 17 fluid ounce bottle of Prezioso Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Italy for $1.99 for $2.99 total. I next went to the Food Emporium, and I bought green beans at .99 a pound for .86, a four ounce bottle of Angostura bitters for $3.59, two large cantaloupe for $2.99 both, a pint of blueberries $1.50, a four pack of General Electric light bulbs .99 for $10.32 total. It was $10.35 total, but I was .03 short. I use the saving’s cards which are available at all stores to get the store sail items. I then returned home. I put the groceries away. I had some lemonade with ice tea. My florescent kitchen light does not come on right away, so I am leaving it on. I just finished cooking the rump roast at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes in the convection oven. I covered it before cooling with garlic powder, black pepper, celery salt , ginger, basil, oregano, and Italian spices and then coated it with KC barbeque sauce before cooking. After cooling briefly I will put it in the refrigerator to chill. While cooking it, I diced the Honeydew Mellon and mixed it with pint of blueberries and put it all in the refrigerator. I just had two hotdogs with buns and condiments and iced coffee. I put the Prezioso Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy on the dining table, and in the bottle I just bought from the thrift shop, I filled it with Bertolli olive oil and put one of the liquor pourer spouts in it and set it also on the dining room table. I probably will go back out shortly. It is 71 degrees Fahrenheit in my apartment. CIO

Note: <888> 07/25/01 Wednesday 8:25 A.M.: I finished cleaning up. I put a cup of Liquid Plumber in the bathroom sink drain to clean it out, so it will smell a bit in the bathroom when one enters; but I closed the door and will turn on the bathroom fan. I turned the General Electric Profile 14,000 BTU air conditioner with remote control that I bought at Partridge and Rockwell last June a year ago down to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, so it will super cool the apartment off before the heat of the afternoon in case there is a electricity brown out today. Time to go out. CIO

Note: <888> 07/25/01 Wednesday 7:30 A.M.: I wrote a family member a letter. I had to reset the HP LaserJet II paper cartridge, and it prints fine. I also had to reclean and reset the Compaq IJ200 color printer cartridge, since it looked like it had been fiddled with. It also works fine. I printed one copy of the letter with each printer. I finished charging the 9 volt rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery, and I put it in the Radio Shack Radio on the blue bureau in the kitchen hallway; and it all works fine. I took the old Lithium 9 Volt battery out of the NOAA weather radio, and put in the new 9 volt battery from the radio; so it thus has a good battery to save its settings. It worked on the test on Wednesday, and since I did not unplug the NOAA weather radio while replacing it the battery, it should work. Between 11 A.M. and noon on Wednesday they test the NOAA weather alert system. CIO

Note: <888> 07/25/01 Wednesday 5:20 A.M.: I was up at 3:30 A.M.. I turned on the living room entrance light switch, and that turned on the room lights as well as the control panel on the backup computer, so the battery charger is active again. It should be done charging about 7:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I made up a batch of lemonade by taking the two quart chilled SUDS pitcher in the freezer, and I added a cup of Stop and Shop lemon juice, a half cup of sugar, and I filled it half way with cold water and stirred it, and I then filled the pitcher the rest of the way up with cold water and stirred it. I then put it in the refrigerator. I just finished making a batch of two quarts of coffee which I put in the refrigerator to chilled in a two quart Rubbermaid container. CIO

Note: <888> 07/24/01 Tuesday 8:25 P.M.: I had a baked barbeque boneless breast of chicken club salad like earlier this week. My guest arrived at about 3:15 P.M.. We chatted and ice tea and microwave popcorn. I turned off the battery charger by mistake, since it is attached to the backup computer control panel, which goes off when one turns off the entrance light switch. I still have about 4 hours time to charge the 9 volt battery. Well time for bed. CIO

Note: <888> 07/24/01 Tuesday 2:55 P.M.: Before, I went out today; I touched up the paint on my 1976 White Volvo with some touchup paint I had in my apartment hall closet. I just found this link, if you would like to cool off http://www.icelandnaturally.com/index.shtml . Well, I am waiting for my visitor to arrive. CIO

Note: <888> 07/24/01 Tuesday 1:30 P.M.: Well, I went out; I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went to the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought two Casio 6 volt adaptors from the 70% clearance off shelf for $4.19 both plus .25 tax for $4.44 total. I then stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I next went by ELDC thrift shop, and I bought a pair of sunglasses for $1 plus two sunglass cases for .50 each, and a Heineken and Chevrolet baseball caps for $2 each for $6 total. I put the sun glasses on the dashboard in cases with other pairs and the baseball caps in the back seat. I next stopped by Radio Shack at Cos Cob. I then stopped by Radio Shack in Riverside, and I bought a 9 Volt Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable battery for $11.99 and a Universal Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Charger 23-334 for $14.99 plus $1.62 tax for $28.60. I then stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York in Riverside. I next returned home. I had a problem with my bank account, so I called the bank; and they just called me back. I am charging the new 9 volt rechargeable battery to use in my transistor radio. It will take 9 hours. I will put the new 9 volt from the radio in my NOAA weather radio to save the frequencies in case, we have a power shortage. I put one of the Casio 6 volt adaptors in the right lower desk drawer, and I put the other one in the tan briefcase with the Panasonic EP44 portable typewriter. I am having iced coffee right now. CIO

Note: <888> 07/24/01 Tuesday 8:30 A.M.: Well, I was up at 6:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. When I moved some of the flags of recognition, I put the Scottish, Canadian, Danish, Norwegian, and French flags in the tan briefcase underneath the Queen Anne chair that also holds the little Panasonic EP44 portable electric typewriter that needs a new ribbon. It can work off a 6 volt DC adaptor or 4 D batteries. I put the brass shield of Pall Mall from the living room walk area underneath the bed. I put a round piece of flat rubber underneath the square heavy ashtray and put it on the bedroom desk. I moved the yellow French sitting chair from in front of the Queen Anne chair to back where it was adjacent to the living room desk and long green couch. I put out the Technasonic Pest Raider II ultrasonic bug and insect deterrent on top of the microwave oven. Thus I have the apartment more Neutrally arranged as opposed to the political aspects of political dominion. However, if one were dealing with wild animals like Brazilian Jaguars, I am not sure if they would respect political neutrality. I have a friend coming out at 2:30 P.M. today. Remember, when it is hot, if one tries a small sprinkle of Indian curry with tomato or V8 juice, it tends to help one not feel the heat. I have some automobile touch up paint, so I will spray some minor rust stains, and then I will probably clean up and go out. I also gave the 2 foot long black steel flashlight to one of our building tenants, since it would be dangerous for me to keep in the car. CIO

CIO

Note: <888> 07/23/01 Monday 10:45 P.M.: I had a couple of hotdogs for dinner with buns and condiments and ice tea. I am just relaxing. CIO

Note: <888> 07/23/01 Monday 7:15 P.M.: I went out, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I drove down by the waterfront. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought two hurricane candle lantern glass globes for $1 each or $2 total. I then stopped by the Hospital, and I had lunch from the salad bar of eight artichoke hearts, olives, onions, halipinios, croutons, parmesan cheese, and mushrooms with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a glass of ice water for $6.49. I then had my teeth checked at the Hospital Dental Clinic. I will need to get a crown from another dentist, and around January, I need to have a filling filled. I then drove over to Old Greenwich, and I stopped by the Old Greenwich Thrift shop, and I surveyed the merchandise. I then drove around Tod’s Point. I next toured Staples. I then bought $14 of premium at Exxon next to the library at $1.939 a gallon. I returned to Byram, and I bought two cartons of Seneca Lights 100s for $19 each $38 total. I then returned home. I chatted with a relative. I turned off the server in case the DOD does not want the DOD server information going at the moment. I will start it up once the U.S. DOD server starts going again in case there is any sort of political conflict going on. Well it is a nice day. The high tide at Tod’s Point was extremely high. I started the sever again. I chatted with a relative. CIO

Note: <888> 07/23/01 Monday 8:50 A.M.: Well, I went to bed at 8 P.M., and I was up at 7 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I will wait for the mail before going out today. I have a 1:30 P.M. appointment today. Well have a good day. CIO

Note: <888> 07/22/01 Sunday 6:25 P.M.: On the current design of the Greenwich Harbor Inn with all the glass windows on the harbor at high tide, a large enough shark could smash through the windows and grab its intended victims. Sharks like alligators have been around the planet for a long time and know these waters quite well. Recently all the waterfront veterans have disappeared and only recent novices are around the waterfront. It might be that some of these recent arrivals are intending another Gulliver’s Discothèque type fire or happening or a similar type occurrence. CIO

Note: <888> 07/22/01 Sunday 5:40 P.M.: I just remembered, I put the Queen Elizabeth II Life Magazine Coronation Edition picture brass framed, the Buckingham Palace Candy tin with candy, and the Putnam Lodge Masons plate behind the Audubon Pink Flamingo picture on the left bookcase in the hallway. I am relaxing. I cooked another pair of boneless breast of chicken the same way as two days ago and I ate one with a steamed corn on the cob and green beans. I am relaxing. With the Mount Etna situation, I just remembered, I believe in the old days they would monitor the temperature changes in the straits of Gibraltar, so as to know if the current going into the Atlantic current was much warmer which would mean a large number of sharks would swim into the Atlantic from the Mediterranean because of the temperature change. Also other volcanic regions like Lanzerote might become more active. I am not the expert, all I have is civilian news reports and Smithsonian summaries a month old. Dr. Strobber might still be around and be more fully briefed on some of the recurring historical anomalies that are caused by recurring solar flare activity as the planet receives more neutron radiation during increased solar flare activity. One would not want to monitor water temperature in the Greenwich, Connecticut or Long Island Sound area or Gibraltar by old fashioned methods, unless one were an experienced fisherman, since more than likely there are a much larger number of lethal sharks in the waters as they pass through this area again.

Note: <888> 07/22/01 Sunday 10:35 A.M.: Well, I relaxed around the house yesterday afternoon. I had a cappuccino about 4 P.M.. I made a few telephone calls. I took the brass and glass coffee table apart, and put the brass leg part on the bedroom desk. I put the glass top underneath the blue sofa. I put the square ashtray with a white BiC lighter in the bedroom on the mahogany bureau. I took down the flags of recognition and folded them properly and put them in the second drawer of the long mahogany bureau in the living room. I put the square London scene tea mats in the same drawer. I put the 2 foot by 1 foot by 2.5 foot high dark oak table between the two couches, so the day bed is more easily accessible. I pulled the blue couch a little further away from the day bed. I left the Swiss and Swedish flags on the backup computer along with the Swiss flag on the bedroom television. I believe these two flags are still recognized internationally as Neutral Flags. I removed the various religious insignia of one religious group along with the International flight bags. I put the religious coffee cups, the Norwegian chocolate cups, and the U.S. Army canteen in the bedroom right night stand. I put the flight bags above the paper products in the bedroom closet. I put the yellow French sitting chair in front of the Queen Anne chair, so the egress into the sitting area between the two sofas is more convenient. About 8 P.M., I shut down the server and the computer. I relaxed until 9:30 P.M. when my house guest arrived. We chatted until 11 P.M., and then I took the pillows off the day bed for the house guest to sleep in. We slept until 7 A.M., and I gave the house guest oatmeal and orange juice. The house guest left about 8 A.M.. I then had three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, and vitamins. I made up the day bed, and since the present arrangement is more convenient for guests, I will leave it the way it is. Since it is Sunday, I think I will relax. Have a good morning. CIO
