Note:<888>10/07/00 Saturday 11:15 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then walked up to the top and sat out for a while. I found a little butterfly costume jewelry medallion. Down by the train station, someone asked me how to get to Round Hill Road. I fell like telling them, "Work on Wall Street," but instead I gave them the right instructions. While I was sitting out after returning down the Avenue, I noticed a bag on the veterans monument. It was a black women's pocket book made in Korea. I turned it in at the police station. The contents were empty, and it was possibly new. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I sat out briefly. I then stopped by the Grand Union, and a store employee told me the Grand Union in Greenwich was going to remain open. I bought a shoulder London Broil for $1.99 a pound for $3.80 and a 2 pound bag of onions for $1.99 for $5.79 total. I then returned home, and I had a bowl of ice cream, and I am now sipping ice tea.

I noticed a couple motioning at somebody out on the water in distress on the west side of the picnic area. I walked over and a kayacker in a black and yellow wet dry suit was exiting the water. The black kayak looked to be stuck on the rocks at the southwest point. Another walker on the south side was trying to retrieve the kayak paddle. The couple said that someone had gone down to get a launch at the Old Greenwich Yacht Club. The kayaker said that water had gotten into his dry wet suit since he did not have it fastened all the way up. He looked a bit tired from swimming. He was a gray haired middle aged white male about 5'10" high. I continued my walk. About the time, I got down to the Old Greenwich Yacht Club, I heard sirens. Three police cars and a ambulance were coming by. I told the lead car the Kayaker was all right. I continued my walk and I told a local doctor walking that the Kayaker was all right. I returned back to the southeast parking area, and I told a couple people whom had heard the sirens that the kayaker was all right. I then drove to CVS in Old Greenwich, and I bought a carton of Phillie Natural cigar cigarettes for $15.04 with tax. I then toured Staples in Old Greenwich. I then went through downtown Greenwich. I saw a Volvo 264 deluxe about my same vintage from California. I told the gateman at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club about the kayaker in case he came from their club. I then drove around Grass Island where other people kayak from, and I saw no evidence of kayak launching. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue.

The worse news of the week is that the Grand Union declared Chapter 12 bankruptcy. I hope it does not effect our local store and reasonable prices. I of course have been a victim on the reasonable prices in that my weight has gone back up from 170 pounds to 195 pounds. Well so much for dieting. Time to start the laundry. CIO

I sat out by the veterans monument, and I drank my coffee. One of our local residents wearing black and white fur snuck up behind be and then loitered around me for a while. I guess the evening skunk knows me, so it did not spray me. Perhaps the odor of all the garlic in my spaghetti sauce scared it away. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue.

Tiffany's was quite busy, and a number of other shops were open on Wednesday night. Richards seemed to have a few customers. I chatted with a local stroller.

I sat out for a while also at the Beach area until 4:30 P.M. watching a solitary swimmer swim laps up and down the beach, a dozen beach goers, a few walkers, and a occasional jogger. It was about 72 degrees Fahrenheit at the beach. I stopped by CVS on the way back in Old Greenwich. I bought a carton of Philly Natural cigar cigarettes for $14.19, CVS large yellow mouthwash $3.89, and Dawn liquid detergent .99 plus $1.14 tax for $20.21. I then returned home.

I had planned to walk around Tod's Point, but my driver's side window which was already slightly malfunctioning from a broken irreplaceable slide bracket had come out of its track. I decided to return home to fix it. I got home, and I took the door panel off and put the window back in its slide track, and I also glued the slide track into place with Elmer's glue. I also used WD40 on the inside of the door to make the door lock work freely. The sliding mechanism is still broken a and can't be replaced, and one has to guide the Window up into place when closing it with one's hand. It has had this problem for about a year. The lock now works fine. I guess that is the nature of 25 year old cars. I then drove downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and then I walked down to Baldwin Park.
