Note: <888> 10/19/10 Tuesday 12:45 P.M.  I made a couple of telephone calls.  I ate a blueberry muffin.  A lot of the people my family and I use to know were involved in various aspects of energy production, particularly hydroelectric power.  Thus if the lights ever quit working, more than likely there is probably something wrong with the generation source.  There were a lot of elderly people downtown this morning today enjoying the sunny day.  From what I know which is sometimes more than the locals whom seem to read only Greenwich magazine, there is a lot going on in the world, so if you happen to know how to do your research, you can probably figure it out.

For example with http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm , the last time I chatted with him, I suggest he visit Oslo, Norway.  One of the U.S. government officials whom visited his apartment by the www.un.org was Albert Lillienthal who ran the TVA.  I know they have built new dams in Iran and Norway, and such companies has Nord Hydro might be involved.  The French also build turbines used in such large facilities.  George Cary is from Buffalo, New York where the Niagara River dam is.  Tony Pigato showed me lots of new pictures of hydroelectric dams in Brazil.  John Bolton's family with their German and Chinese connections might have known people involved in building the Yanksee River dam.  When I lived down south around the TVA, there were people involved with the Aswan dam in Egypt.  I do not know anything about the local dams here in Greenwich, Connecticut; but they tend to be more modest structures.  Where Microsoft exists there are a lot of hydroelectric dams in Washington State for Boeing's operations.  In making aluminum, one uses a lot of electricity.  My best friend at the Taft School had parents that had lived in China, and they were also involved with Wolfson construction that was involved with the construction of Hoover dam.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/19/10 Tuesday 11:30 A.M.  I went out after the last note.  I chatted with the building custodian and a couple of neighbors.  I went downtown to CVS.  I bought a three pack of Schick Hydro razors worth $8.99 that I got for free with a CVS coupon from the mail and a 8.4 ounce Schick Hydro shaving gel worth $4.29 that I also got for $3.99 off with a CVS coupon from the mail and buy one get one free of CVS 2000 mcg Vitamin B-12 time released 60 caplets for $8.49 both and buy one get one free of CVS flush free Niacin 500 mg 100 capsules for $8.39 both and .45 tax for $17.63 total.  I then bought three CVS Natural Lecithin 1200 mg 100 soft gels for half price for $2.75 each bottle and buy one get one free of CVS 2000 mcg Vitamin B-12 time released 60 caplets for $8.49 both less a CVS bonus bucks coupon of $5 for $11.71 total.  I then used the bathroom at CVS.  I then chatted with a regular walker from Martha's Vineyard.  The regular walker needed money for coffee, so I gave the regular walker a dollar.  I chatted about the bathroom situation downtown.  I then went by the Senior and the Arts center, and I sat out for a while.  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought four fresh muffins for $3.99 and fresh Chiquita bananas for .69 a pound for $1.63 for $5.62 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I put away my purchases.  I had closed the living room window this morning, because it was getting colder, but I opened it back up again today to get some fresh air and air out the apartment, since it is a nice day, but I will close it in a little while before I go to bed to keep the dampness out.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/19/10 Tuesday 6:40 A.M.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as yesterday morning.  I am not starving yet, and I have about 33 pounds of rice to help me make it through the winter.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/19/10 Tuesday 5:45 A.M.  I read some back issues of Maximum PC.  I did not get around to the two most recent issues.

Not much happens in the U.S.A. anymore, since we are in a severe economic recession caused by the Obama and Democratic party government programs which have put a lot of people out of work, and cut back on content on the internet.

Since I have lived on disability income for the last 27 years, a lot of people are getting use to living like I have become accustomed to living over these many years.  So although the "Noveau Pauvre" seem to be increasing in this area, I have my web site available for them to research about how I manage to survive.  Basically as a dependant of the State, there is not much I can do about the Status Quo, but maintain my simple routines that I have developed over the years.  For example, I have only been to about a half dozen movies in cinemas over the last 40 years, so when I see an old movie on television, it is frequently new to me.  One only averages about a dollar a year in found money walking Greenwich Avenue, so it is not very profitable.  For me it is a relief from Cabin Fever, but I have plenty of activities to keep me busy at home.  I am more comfortable at home, and I have the means of keeping busy.  I suppose not many people communicate with me, because they are busier with their daytime schedules, while I am frequently on a night time schedule.  I guess the people whom fly up north from down south looking for a better life here are in for a rude awakening particularly as the weather gets colder and damper.  The weather in the fall around here is what like winter in Florida feels like, so if one does not like camping out around here in the Fall season, one will not like camping out in Florida in the Winter season.  The few people whom I know whom are more financially successful, recently seem to be spending more time watching television.  I guess the people whom still have jobs are worrying about losing them, and possibly they are having to deal with salary cut backs.  Basically, I have to survive another long cold winter.  I do not go out as much in the winters anymore, because after a couple of afternoon walks, I tend to get worn out and more tired.  Still I have my apartment routines to keep me busy.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/18/10 Monday 5:05 A.M.  I went ahead, and I took the two air conditioners out of the windows in the apartment, and I put them away as described below.  I broke the piece of Plexiglas on the side of the bedroom air conditioner, but I might be able to use the old Plexiglas from the previous air conditioner, when I install it in the spring.  The piece that I broke is 30 inches by 18 inches.  I used my little folding cart from the trunk of the Audi to move the air conditioner from the bedroom to behind the Ethan Allen recliner.  There is still room for it to fully recline, but it is very close to the Sony television.  I put new batteries in the weather station remote sender, and I hung it outside the window from a thin telephone wire strung around the window handle, which should work just fine.   If I need to access it, I have to take the screen off to get at it.  I put the wicker breakfast tray in front of the living room window with a Lasko box fan on top of it to blow cool air into the apartment from the opened window.  It is currently 51 degrees Fahrenheit outside and 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit inside the apartment living room.  I have the bedroom window fully closed with the sheet still in front of it for privacy.  The air conditioners were a bit difficult to get out, because the duct tape sealing them in was hard to remove, particularly the outside duct tape. 

I will now make an eat a 10 ounce sautéed top round London Broil with my usual vegetable mixture and a glass of watered down punch and a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/18/10 Monday 2:25 A.M.  On personal health matters, I need to a flu shot at the Greenwich Hospital outpatient clinic.  I have not have my eyes checks in over eight years, and my one spare pair of reading glasses has a broken ear piece.  I also need to get a crown put in by the dentist at the Stamford Town center on the decayed molar I have on my right rear lower jaw.  That would take two visits. 

I might leave the two fans set up, so I can blow the electric heat around in the winter.  Although it is colder outside, the reason that I have not take the air conditioners out yet, it is easier to control the temperature with them installed this time of year, since the only other option would be to open the windows a small amount, which might be too cold.  Also the sun still shines brightly against my windows in the afternoon.  The building custodian still has not installed the window shade in the bedroom.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/15/10 Friday 3:10 A.M.  Back in 1973, when I was a year out of www.lfc.edu after spending six months in Europe at the last half of my senior year, I was fired that summer by www.cbsnews.com , and I was also fired that fall by Boodles restaurant in Greenwich and their other restaurant Sassafras in Scarsdale, New York.  I had a job interview after that with a computer software company called "Online Decisions" which was producing a word processing program in Elmsford, New York.  Online decisions made software for workstations, and it was a British company owned by Mr. Gerraud who we carpooled with, when we lived in Stamford, Connecticut for a year before moving to Greenwich in 1963.  Online Decisions also had an office in the "666" building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.  Elmsfords, New York is near the Rockefeller estate in North Tarrytown, New York.  It also has a www.samsclub.com .  It is near the major hospitals and other facilities in White Plains, New York; so it can be quite busy as well as being close to Westchester County airport.  It also is near the IBM Watson Research Center and close to IBM in Armonk.  There are quite a few other companies in White Plains, New York also along with major department stores and five star hotels and the nearby the Doral Conference Center on the Greenwich border in Purchase, New York.  The less expensive Extended Stay motels in Norwalk, Connecticut is near two Walmarts, Norwalk Hospital, Fairfield County and the busy I-95 corridor.  The less expensive Meriden, Connecticut Extended Stay motel or Homestead Motel would be near Yale University and its medical center and New Haven, Connecticut with quite a few businesses.  Thus depending on what one's focus might be any of the three in this immediate area might suit one's needs for about $60 to $110 a night.  They have internet connections and cooking facilities.  Thus for the frugal business traveler or other traveler Extended Stay Hotels – hotel rooms and suites for long term stays , they might have suitable accommodations.  They also have senior citizen discounts of about 5% and discounts for stays longer than a week.  CIO

I also have a full length down coat, several parkas, another winter coats.  In the winter, one can always layer one's clothing to stay warmer.  We do occasionally get winter days, when it is below 20 Degrees Fahrenheit, but not many in recent winters, but that can change.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/14/10 Thursday 2:45 A.M.  More details on the meal that I just cooked.  First of all, I used to have 12 inch long aluminum oval fish baking pan that I never used, that I can not find.  I have a lot of cooking items stored in my kitchen.  However, possibly I gave it to a friend or a relative that cooks fish more often.   We use to use them all of the time at the Le Languedoc Bistro a Nantucket Restaurant and Inn. Serving French cuisine on Nantucket for over 30 Years our on www.nantucket.net island. 

I rinsed the boneless filet of cod that was about 1/3rd to a half inch thick underneath cold water, and I dried it with a paper towel. 

I then cut it into two pieces, so it would fit into a 10 inch diameter round Pyrex pie baking dish.  I then rubbed the Pyrex pie dish with olive oil.  Then on a separate plate one side at a time starting with the skin side of the fish, I rubbed the filet of cod with olive oil, and then I seasoned it to taste with Old Bay Seasoning and Italian spices.  I then coated it with seasoned Italian bread crumbs.  I then did the same thing on the flesh side of the fish.  I then placed the two pieces of filet of cod in the Pyrex baking dish skin side down.  I microwaved three two inch diameter baby red potatoes that I had pricked a few times on each side with a fork for two minutes in the microwave oven.  I then put them in the Pyrex baking dish with the filet of cod, and I rubbed the small red potatoes with olive oil.  I baked it in the Sharp Convection Microwave oven on a five inch high stand to raise it up on Convection setting at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.  Once the dish was cooked, I placed it on my heat proof dinner plate to warm it up before serving it on the plate.  I split open the three small potatoes, and I cut sliced though each side inside, and put Smart Balance spread and olive oil inside them. 

While doing that I put about 3/4th of an inch of water in a two quart Revere pot with lid, and I put a steamer tray in it with the baby carrots and broccoli crowns.  I split the broccoli crowns, so they are not too large.  I started the pot on an electric burner on high with lid on it, and once it begins to steam, I lowered it to medium high for 15 minutes total time.  I remove the steamer tray, and I serve the vegetables in a separate soup bowl with Smart Balance spread and olive oil on them.  Recently I have been using Star Extra Virgin Olive oil from Spain which the Stop and Shop sells for about $21 for three liters.  With the remaining hot water from the Revere pot, I put it in coffee cup with a green tea bag and a packet of Splenda sweetener, and I let the tea steep while I eat dinner, and then I removed the tea bag and squeeze it, and I add a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice.  I eat the dinner with my watered down punch, which is about 25% of my fruit juice punch mixture and 75% cold filtered water.   It was a very good dinner for a change of pace from my usual meat meals.   CIO

Note: <888> 10/14/10 Thursday 12:50 A.M.  I watched a movie yesterday morning until 7 A.M..  I woke up at noon, and I chatted with a friend.  I went back to bed until 5:30 P.M..   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% glass of punch and cold filtered water, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I watched the www.abcnews.com evening news.  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I chatted with a relative.  I threw out the garbage.  I went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a box of three day old Danish almond pastries for $2, a 16 ounce package of Smart Balance Lite spread for $2.89, a half gallon of Tropicana premium orange juice with calcium for $3 and fresh Chiquita bananas for .69 a pound for $1.97 for $9.86 total.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I returned the DVDs that I checked out on this past Friday evening that I did not have time to watch.  I chatted with the information desk.  I then chatted outside with a chef from Nicaragua.  I then went back by the Stop and Shop, and I used the bathroom.  I bought a quart of Borden lemon juice for $2.69 and a filet of cod from Alaska for $5.99 a pound for $3.89 for $6.58 total.  I then went downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I chatted with some Asian computer people coming out of the new Chinese restaurant opposite Grigg street where the Italian wine bar used to be.  I chatted with a carpenter at the corner of Grigg street and Greenwich Avenue where Meli Meli is building their new restaurant.  I sat out at various locations.  I finished my walk.  I then drove way down south to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and there were not any fishermen on the pier trying to fish this time of year.  Who knows stripped bass might be running south again.  I then went by the Courtesy Mobil gasoline station on 623 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $8.50 of self service premium gasoline for $3.199 a gallon for 2.656 gallons for 30 miles driving in the last 12 days at odometer 67884 miles for 11.295 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail, and I put away my groceries.

It says in the Fred web page below that his last apartment in Manhattan was at 405 East 54th street across the street from the Mayfair Restaurant.  In the web log, it says that Queen Elizabeth II gave Fred the apartment.  That would imply that Fred had some sort of British or Commonwealth connection.  If he were related to the Meyers Rum family of Jamaica that might explain why marijuana was occasionally around his apartments until he turned to holistic medicine.   In the old days when the hippies were smoking marijuana, it seems a lot of the adults were using valium, so I guess they all needed to slow down a bit.  Fred's friend at 405 East 54th street was Joe McDonald who was the top male model in New York.  Joe was from Chicago and had been the life guard on the beach in Chicago, when I lived at 31 East Elm Street in the same building that one of the Blairs lived in.  I kept the checking account open from the Midwest Bank of Lake Forest, Illinois for "The Farm" on 1014 Rockland Road in Knollwood, Illinois, and when I moved to 31 East Elm Street in Chicago, we used the same checking account to run the apartment.  I think Tim McMurray who later died in Miami was allowed to use the account.  Also at 405 East 54th street was Billy from South Carolina.  Ema Mac Donald had lived at 405 East 54th street since the mid 1920s.  When I met here about 20 years ago, she was working as a hair dresser's assistant in the neighborhood.  Michael and Louis Mountbatten also had the penthouse at 405 East 54th street.  It was all painted in white lacquer, and they smoked heavily.   Teddie Kennedy also had an apartment in that building.  Noel Coward also once lived at 405 East 54th street.  I once saw John and Yoko Ono Lennon at the bakery in that building.  It is a prewar building that runs through to East 55th street.  Also the famous cross country Lock Stock and Barrel race that the movie the Cannon Ball Run was made about left originally from the garage at 405 East 54th street, so they probably had some pretty fancy automobiles in that garage.  Joe MacDonald I think was related to Anne MacDonald Ford, so possibly they might have had a mechanic in the family.  The young fellow from William Street in Greenwich that disappeared a few years ago also mentioned that he had moved to East 54th street somewhere.  He looked like he could be Fred's son.  The Rockefellers had town houses on East 54th street, so it is not necessarily a slum area.  When I worked for six months at Daniel Construction in Greenville, South Carolina, I had Fred's telephone number and address in my limited address book on my desk, and when I got back to Manhattan for the Tall Ships on July 4, 1976, when I saw Queen Elizabeth II again and Prince Phillip at Bloomingdales Department store on July 5, 1976, I happened to noticed they were building a new high rise apartment building across the street from 405 East 49th street.  There are two bars across the street from the Mayfair Restaurant which is on First Avenue and 54th street on the southeast corner.  One is Crawfords and the other is Billys across First Avenue from the Mayfair restaurant.   Apparently the Sports Editor for the New York Times drinks at one of those bars.  The www.nytimes.com use to first come out at the news stand at the southeast corner of 54th street and 2nd Avenue about 11:30 P.M. in the evening for those people who needed to be the first to know the news.  I used to drive in from Greenwich, Connecticut living in the Rockefeller neighborhood to pick it up there, and I would network with a few Rockefeller employees.

Fred Von Mierers had a friend named Adam Ginowsky who was Polish and a fellow at Rockefeller University, and he lived with Barbara Rockefeller at East 68th street.  Adam had a grant from the United States Federal Government to grow and study marijuana, so possibly the government marijuana business got way out of control once the younger generation got involved.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/08/10 Friday 2:35 A.M.  Now if the British are once again back in this area, I have to remind them that until about 8 P.M. at night, I still think the Port Chester, New York beer distributor has the largest supply of various beers and draft beer.  They are across the street from the Life Saver apartment building complex in downtown Port Chester, New York, but the www.costco.com in downtown Port Chester, New York might be cheaper and have other necessities.  For night time people the Cumberland Farms on the Port Chester New York and Greenwich, Connecticut border is allowed to sell beer until 4 A.M..  I think the A&P at the Port Chester, New York shopping center sells a large supply of beer and alcohol until 4 A.M..  Nobody drinks alcohol and drives in this area anymore, because the local police are very severe.  The Port Chester, New York taxis might run 24 hours, but the Greenwich taxis close about 1 A.M..  The British whom live in the urban areas tend not to drive cars too much, since they are heavily taxed, so they tend to drink more alcohol than their suburban counter parts.  When I did a survey about 10 years ago, alcohol was cheaper in Connecticut and Wine was cheaper in New York State, but that might have changed.  The primary cargo on the British cruise ships is they carry bonded liquors, so that is part of their business as they travel around the world.  The Queen Mary II is in Barbados on December 22, 2010 and back in New York on Saturday, December 27, 2010, so they will probably be delivering a new cargo of Barbados Mount Gay rum to keep us warm for the winter.  Lord Snowden once told me he has a house in Byram, Connecticut; but he spends the winter in Barbados, so he sometimes can be darkly tanned.  I think he still owes me $59 for a broken blinker light on the Hyndai Accent that he once bumped into at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, so I guess he could send me up two half gallons of Barbados rum in case I need any for guests this winter.  Of course rum tastes good with Trinidad and Tobago Angostura Bitters.  Remember I am not allowed to drink alcohol, or I tend to take off traveling which can lead to financial problems in foreign countries or even at home in the U.S.A..  CIO

Note: <888> 10/05/10 Tuesday 10:20 P.M.  After dinner, I turned on one of the many National Broadcasting Company television stations, and there was a television show about the Rockefeller family and their various political activities.  They claim they do not have much money anymore, but they seem to manage to stay in the lime light despite the price of tea in China.  What has me confused, is that as I have seen before, it says they started construction on the World Trade Center in 1966.  However, as I recall when I lived in Manhattan in 1973, I went downtown to Wall street a few times at night, and I recall back then seeing the foundation just beginning on the World Trade Center, so unless it took them seven years to dig the hole for the foundation, which I photographed on a videotape camera, it seems like the television people have their dates confused.  When I first came off Nantucket in December 1983, and I returned back to Greenwich, Connecticut, I went into a pub in Manhattan, and I met somebody that looked like Nelson Rockefeller, and he claimed he was spending that Christmas with Happy Rockefeller.  He said he was the doctor in charge at the United Nations trying to keep the diplomats from drinking liquor.  As I recall, he drank Perrier with a dash of Angostura Bitters.  He was with a pair of twins that I guess were relatives.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/01/10 Friday 7:15 P.M.  I opened up the Aerobed, and I spread it on the floor from the Ethan Allen recliner to the hallway entrance.  I moved the magazine rack to the left.  I plugged it into the hallway power strip, and I inflated it in about two minutes.  It is quite comfortable.  I then deflated it per the instructions, and I rolled it up, and I put it in its bag.  I made two copies of the instructions, and one copy is in the bag with the Aerobed.  I stored the two spare patches and copy of the instructions in the right mahogany bureau top drawer in the bedroom.  I stored the Aerobed underneath the chair at the hallway entrance along with a fitted twin and regular twin sheet and the old light blue electric blanket that does not have a control panel.  Thus it is all set to use.  I threw out the shipping boxes.

I changed the Cable setup on the primary Windows 7 computer, and it seemed to have fixed the problems that I was having when the F: backup drive disappeared again.  The Maxtor 320 gigabyte drive is the primary IDE master drive.  The LG DVD/RW drive in the primary IDE slave drive.  The Seagate 320 Gigabyte drive in the secondary IDE master drive.  The Seagate 200 Gigabyte Drive is the secondary IDE slave drive.  I also changed some of the drive letters to reflect the new cabling.  I booted the Vista partition, and I installed the Vista and the McAfee updates.
