Note:<888>8/7/98 Friday 9:00 P.M. EDT: I was up until about 10:30 A.M. this morning. I recieved one family call and also a call from the Greenwich Police Athletic League soliciting funds for kids to keep them off the streets. I explained at the moment, I needed my spare funds for food. I was back up at 2 P.M.. I had breakfast of raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I did not go out and just relaxed around the apartment. My house guest arrived here at 6 P.M.. One of my neighbors left a pot on the stove while she was sitting out having a beer, and it set off the fire alarm. The canary in her apartment survived, and there is the faint smell of burnt aluminum in the building. I went out with my house guest at 7 P.M.. We toured the waterfront. The Greenwich Harbor Inn had the usual Friday night Yuppie party on the harbor. I noticed one sailboat from Mystic, one from Oyster Bay, and a large cigarette boat from Oyster Bay. I asked the Oyster Bay yachtman on the sailboat if they had seen anyone whom looked like me in Oyster Bay, since people along the waterfront are always telling me someone looks like me in Oyster Bay. They said they had. They said Sagamore Hill was still there. I told the Oyster Bay yachtsman, I had not been in Oyster Bay in fifteen years, although I was last on Long Island a few years ago. I went to the Grand Union with my house guest and he bought us roast beef sandwiches already made up in the deli department, and pasta salad. I also bought 3 Haagen Daz for $3.09 together with the coupon from the managers desk, 3 Whisk Liguid detergent for $3.99 for all three, and two John Morrell bacon packages for .99 each for a total of $9.30. We returned and had the sandwiches and pasta for dinner. We are having coffee now. I will go out for a walk a little while after coffee. My house guest wants to retire early. I have tentative plans to travel up to Kennebunkport, Maine area next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . Coke was up 10% up seven points today. Well have a nice evening. CIO

We went out for a walk about 8 P.M. and walked the full length of Greenwich Avenue. We returned at 10 P.M., and I watched a Channel 13 PBS program on the Queen Mum while my house guest had retired. I went to bed at 11 P.M., and awoke at 2:30 A.M..

However when I reopened the web browser without Alta Vista, the tool bar space was still there without the tool bar. Also one could not move or maximize the web browser. By changing the options in Alta Vista search tool bar, I got the web browser maximized, I believe pressing "CTL-Y" sets the web browser to open at its current setting. I was up at 1 P.M., and I had bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, tangerine juice, and coffee for breakfast. After my coffee I will clean up and go out this afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>8/6/98 Thursday 2:45 A.M. EDT: I was thinking since the old Portofino Pub where all the yuppies use to hang out is closed and for rent. The location is across from the United Way. It might make a nice 24 hour a day Internet Cafe. I don't think it would make money, but it would be a novel way to attrack weird night owls into town, for the security forces to keep an eye on. Well it is just a thought, for anyone needing to loose money. Yeh that old dive on West Putnam Avenue, just west of the top of Greenwich Avenue. Well Nantucket I believe has an internet cafe, for you webaholics at the beach. So if you get tired of reading Moby Dick down on Nantucket stop by www.nantucket.net and see why so many people forgot their sun screen this summer. Having dwelled on that far away island for extensive periods of time, I suppose, one would have to forgive the longtime residents for being somewhat backwards and antiquated and out of touch with modern practices of communications. Well back to Netville, USA. CIO

Note:<888>8/6/98 Thursday 2:35 A.M. EDT: I studied Windows98.org - The Best Windows 98 Information . I also took my old D: drive 345 megs with no data on it, and made it my swapper file for Win98, setting it up with my 64 meg memory system as a minimus swapper file of 160 megs and maximum 345 megs. This is suppose to make Win98 run faster, but since the swapper drive is older and possibly slower, it might not make a difference. CIO

Note:<888>8/6/98 Thursday 12:55 A.M. EDT: My house guest returned at 8 P.M.. We had dinner of imatation crab seafood caserole and Romaine lettuce, with olives and onion with herbal dressing, ice tea, and coffee. From 9 P.M. to 10 P.M. we watched the History Channel on the July 9, 1988 Scottish Oil Platform disaster and how it was caused. My house guest retired at 10 P.M. and I went out for a walk down the bottom of Greeenwich Avenue and back up to the top and back down to the bottom returning to the center about midnight. I drove down Steamboat Road and there was a State Department license plate parked at the bottom. I went by the Grand Union and bought 3 Haagen Daz pints of ice cream for $3.09, a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.67, and a pack of 2 GE night lights for $1.79 for a total of $6.66. I commented to the cashier that 666 is a common reoccurring mathematical number, and during the era of Christian persecution in Roman times, it was the Hebrew symbol for the Emperor Nero. The Grand Union does not have any circulars with the coupon for Haagen Daz available, so they gave the discount at the cash register. There were about 20 containers of Haagen Daz left at midnight. I noticed that Greenwich Avenue was quiet. The Avenue pubs were not busy, and the most cars seemed to be at Tuscon's on East Putnam Avenue across from the Second Congregational Church. There was no unusual activity to report. I saw the cat with the half black and half white face. I returned home and set up the night light with a fixture in the kitchen, so my guest can see in the dark. I am using a 40 watt fixture by the computer to see while working mostly in the dark. I had a half of pint of Haagen Daz after returning home. Well have a good morning, I will do a little net surfing. CIO

Note:<888>8/5/98 Wednesday 5:30 P.M. EDT: I went out about 2 P.M. today. My Thursday appointment has been cancelled. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street and the place was deserted. I went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. They have a $30 bag sale going on. They still have the usual assortment of merchandise. I went down by the water and there were a bunch of young kids out fishing with their mothers for a change. I drove by the Exxon station next to the library and got $12.25 of premium gasoline. I went by the Greenwich Library and read two of the computer newsweeklies. I commented to one of our local observers that the Russian diamond smugglers should use the Russian diamonds for collateral for World Bank Loans. I also commented that a lot of the so called British investment in the New York area is being fueled by Scottish North Sea Oil, and that the United Kingdom is self sufficent in oil. Also Scottish banks tend to be very conservative. I noticed that they were installing four new computers and monitors and one laser printer on the north side of the periodical reading room. I believe those are the computers with the Cdrom data bases, and not online to the internet, but they certainly could be. I noticed that the library is asking for donations of 500 page of reams of paper to suppliment their laser printer output. One can stop by Staples and buy $3.59 500 page reams of paper to donate to the library. I got to thinking they should charge 1 cent a sheet of paper for printouts from the laser printers, and have the honor system with a secure kitty box next to the print out laser printer to collect the funds. I next drove by the Grand Union, and bought two Post Shredded Wheat squares for buy one get one free for $2.99, one Stauffer's Lasagna $2.99, two Celantano 6 ounce pizzas for $1 each thus $2, a package of Purdue boneless breast of chicken for $2.99 a pound for $3.95, a pound of Early morning bacon for $1.79, two Prego quart jars of mushroom speghetti sauce half price $3.49 both, Romaine lettuce .99 cents a pound for $1.19, three I Can't Believe It's Not Butter .99 each, two ears yellow corn .25 cents each for .50, three Hageen Daz ice cream various flavors with the circular coupon from the managers desk $3.09 for three, a pound GU sugar $2.09, two 5 pound bag Maine Eastern potatoes for $1.99 for both, for a Grand Total of $29.04. Remember when getting the Haagen Daz, you have to ask the manager for the circular coupon since they are out of circulars, but they have coupons in reserve. I returned home and put away the groceries. My house guest will not be back for dinner until 8 P.M.. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening, it was quiet downtown today. I suppose it will cool off a bit after the sun goes down in the western sky which tends to happen regularly. CIO

We went out at 7 P.M. and I returned videotapes at the Greenwich library. We went downtown and strolled the lower avenue and I bought a buy four get one free of Marlboro Lights 100s for $11.60. We drove down by the water and went out to Grass Island. We sat by the water viewing the harbor until about 8:30 P.M.. We went back downtown and walked the upper part of Greenwich Avenue and returned down to the center. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought GU 1% milk half gallon $1.67, two GU Premium orange juice half gallon $1.69 each, a pound of early morning bacon $1.79, with circular coupon buy one get two free GU dozen large eggs $1.39, buy one Haagen Daz get two free with circular coupon various flavors $3.09, buy one Seafood Chunks get one free $1.32, GU noodles sauce mix .89, for a total of $15.72.

We went down by the water and surveyed the harbor from the Greenwich Harbor Inn. The visitors were having their usual cocktail party on the waterfront. We went over to Grass Island and surveyed the harbor for about an hour. We returned about 7:30 P.M.. I made dinner of chicken salad, Ramen noodles, and green beans. We had coffee afterwards and watched television until 11 P.M.. I did my laundry at the same time. I went down and folded the laundry at 11 P.M. and my house guest went to bed on the couch. I am now working on the computer without the major room lights on. I will wake up on my own time tomorrow. I have a 4 P.M. appointment tomorrow. My house guest said that four of his acquaitences have gotten Lyme disease from their cats. I also was told by the Poison Control Center that Lyme disease is up this year, since this past winter was mild and there are more deer tick around. I did get a spider bite three days ago on my right leg calf, which the mark has gone away. I am pretty sure it is a Deer tick bite since they leave a different type of bite pattern. Well back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>8/2/98 Sunday 3:30 P.M.

They suggested drinking beverages out of sealed containers, particularly in public places. Well back to house cleaning. Taking Niacimide is a good remedy for mold poisoning that I use. CIO

Note:<888>8/2/98 Sunday 3:10 P.M. EDT: Yesterday my house guest and I drove up to Guildford and toured around the waterfront area. They have very nice homes on the water and it is a very scenic waterfront area. Guildford looks like it has not been restored, but maintained in a continual historical perspective. I saw a lot of the usual Connecticut family names posted up there as down here. It looks like it was a major rum running smugglers port in the old days, and it might still be today. Thus hippie type sailors could smuggle drugs into the Guilford harbor and sell them to the nearby students at Yale University. There is some amble evidence of the CIA running a front town in Guilford with all its dirty tricks. I went to lunch on U.S. 1 with my house guest to an outdoor restaurant called "This Is It" opened since 1971, and had corn on the cob, and rib eye steak on the outdoor barbeque grill, along with a paper cup of iced tea. I noticed after drinking the iced tea and leaving, I felt like I had been drugged, so maybe one of George Bush's CIA types is peddling iced tea with "LSD" up there. I know Yale has a very good chemistry building, and we have had a number of reports of similar incidents coming out that area over the years, so it is my perspective that somebody is up to dirty tricks in that neck of the woods. I noticed a couple of the older people working at "This is IT" my age looked like people I had seen in Nantucket when I lived there. They look like they might be from Vermont judging from the decor of the restaurant with its outdoors motif. I suppose people could be smugglers in Guilford harbor and be running their contrabrand through Yale university and back and forth up into Vermont up into Canada. After lunch feeling like I had been drugged we drove up to the next town east, I think it was Milford harbor and looked at the beach waterfront. There was a lot of traffic returning with wall to wall traffic going east on I95. I have been told that 50,000 cars arrive at the Foxwoods Casino every day. I believe that is over 100 miles of cars on a two lane highway. Well I returned at 6 P.M. and rested until 8 P.M.. I had dinner of cold chicken, peas, and Ramen noodles. I went out for groceries about 10 P.M. and got GU Raisin Bran $1.99, Stauffers Lasagna $2.99, GU 2% milk $1.67, and NutraTaste Sweetner $4.49 for a total of $11.14. I returned home. My house guest was using the internet, and one site he logged onto seemed to have messed up my password dialer settings which has never happened before. I fixed it and went to bed at midnight. My houseguest left for work at 9 A.M. this morning, and I got up at 2 P.M., and had breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, orange and tangerine juice, and coffee. I then filed this report. I have to clean my apartment this afternoon. Well have a good day. CIO
