Back in 1968 to 1972, when I worked at www.polaroid.com and jobs in Lake Forest, Illinois while attending www.lfc.edu , I usually made over $200 a 40 hour week. In that period gold "AU" was $32 an ounce, so I was earning 6.25 ounces of Gold a week. Today Gold is worth Gold Price $1,715.07 an ounce. Thus today for a 40 hour week, I should be earning $10,719.19 a week or $557,397.75 a year or $267.98 an hour. Thus it goes to show in the real world of economics, they do not adjust for inflation or the real value of money. In other words, most of the policy makers are just CHEAP. CIO

Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 6:30 A.M. I ate a bowl of white Cheez-its. I ate a 9 ounce package of four cheese hot pockets and a 12 ounce glass of A&W diet root beer. I put the three fans that were out in the apartment for the summer on the far right window shelf. I turned the living room heat up to 76 degrees Fahrenheit which should make the living room 70 degrees Fahrenheit and dryer. I turned the bedroom heat up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit which makes the bedroom 64 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned on the tower fan on the center living room window shelf to blow around the living room heat. I put one comforter on the back of the Ethan Allen recliner to have available. I put another comforter over the back of the chair in front of the second IBM ThinkCentre. I put out the two www.army.mil sleeping bags good to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit in front of the www.harvard.edu chair to the right of the living room Sony television. I put one DeLonghi oil filled radiator behind the primary work computer chair, and I put the second DeLongi oil filled radiator along side the Ionic Pro air purifier in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. I thus have the apartment prepared for any extreme cold weather events that we might experience this winter. It is currently 30.9 degrees outside and 65 degrees by the windows in the living room and 72 degrees further out into the living room. I put the breakfast tray with the winter knit caps, and gloves and mittens and scarves on the seat of the Harvard Chair. Remember, if one ever wanted to go to Harvard University, it is a lot colder up in Cambridge, Massachusetts than here in Greenwich, Connecticut. CIO
Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 5:00 A.M. I read earlier that Nantucket www.nantucket.net got hit with 65 mile per hour winds in the storm. A lot of the big old trees in downtown Nantucket are in sandy soil, so there might have been some tree damage in Nantucket.
There were a lot of short Asians in the Stop and Shop yesterday Sunday, so possibly they are without electricity somewhere in town.
The Maria Callendar dinners are on sale at the Stop and Shop for $2.50.
I suppose a lot of the back country people do not have electricity, so they are probably going back to their apartments in Manhattan.
I have two appointments this week, but they could be cancelled, and I could stay on a night schedule. I know the older generation like to monopolize the downtown area during the warmer weather, but at age 61, I am no spring chicken.
I have not been to Nantucket, since the summer of 1987 or 1988, when I stayed with a friend at the Harbor House for a weekend. I only recognized one person who was a Taft School classmate I think from Princeton, New Jersey. Of course I tend to be somewhat myopic, and a lot of people that I should recognize are so private that one does not see them very often. I also see a lot of other people that look like other people, so it is hard to tell the well known people from the more private people. Of course most people have relatives that tend to look like them too.
Today is Halloween, and it was on Halloween in 1976 that I first showed up in Key West, Florida Live Duval Street Web Cam in Key West, Florida :: Sloppy Joe's Bar :: with somebody from New Haven, Connecticut whose father worked for John Hancock Insurance, and the individual I met in Fort Lauderdale earlier, when the King of Norway was down there on vacation after the Tall Ships in New York Harbor during the summer of 1976. When Norwegians show up on vacation, it tends to get colder, and by Thanksgiving Day in 1976, it was 21 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 A.M. in the morning at the electric bank sign next to the Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Obscure fact of my mother's Bovan family is that one of the contractors of the Swimming Hall of Fame was a Boven. Alas, I was never too good of a swimmer, since I don't like keeping my head in the water and at 220 pounds, I would be afraid to go near the water.
I forgot to mention in my note last night also during the summer of 1972, I drove up from Lake Forest, Illinois with Hurley Haywood to the Whitneys in Wayzata, Minnesota, and I went to a Cam Am automobile race. They let me drive a yellow Ferrari back from the race, they had to transport, so I guess I was running around with Fast Company in the Midwest.
The last time I visited California on my last trip was during the fall of 1980, and I traveled out there with a friend by land, and I sold the Volvo with a bad clutch the week after election day, when Ronald Reagan was elected to come back east to be part of the republican majority in power, only to end up being evicted by the democrats from the apartment I shared in Manhattan during February 1982, when it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan. So democrats tend to play bad jokes on republicans, if you let your guard down. I try to be diplomatic, but I have learned from experience to stand up for my rights. CIO

The way I figure it, since I also have the $500 Sharp Convection microwave oven, if the nine year old General Electric 1.2 cubic foot microwave oven should fail, I can use the Sharp Convection microwave oven until the General Electric microwave oven is replaced.
I removed the new Farberware convection oven on top of the General Electric microwave oven from the kitchen, and I put it in the bedroom closet underneath the RYO tobacco products. I cleaned the outside of the General Electric microwave oven and the white plastic shelf rack and the microwave cooking utensils that were stored on top of the General Electric microwave oven. I never used the Farberware convection oven, since I have the Sharp Convection microwave oven. It will cook a larger item like a large chicken, small turkey or roast, but I do not cook large items, since they spoil before I can finish them. If I needed to cook a large item, I could take the new Farberware convection oven out of the bedroom closet and put it on the kitchen counter. I had thought about putting the new Panasonic microwave oven on top of the old General Electric microwave oven, but that no longer will be necessary. CIO

Note: <888> 10/30/11 Sunday 12:40 A.M. When I got back from my European studies in the end of May 1972, I flew back home to Boston first. I then flew out to Lake Forest, Illinois for graduation, but we had a party the night before graduation, so I slept through graduation, but I had not been to rehearsal anyway, so nobody knew I was back in the area anyway. I stayed with a friend who lived next to the chief of police's son at a cottage on her grandmother's estate. I recall visiting with many friends. Around the fourth of July, a number of us went up to the Thousand Island around Sauté St. Marie. I recalled buying an older Mercedes for $750, but I sold it after a month, because it burned oil. George Cary flew out later that summer after having toured more of Europe after the Greek program. We threw a Great Gatsby party. Towards the beginning of fall, I bought another old Mercedes Diesel, and I drove with George back east dropping him off and staying with his family in East Aurora, New York. We went to the horse races at Fort Erie race track where the Queen mother presented the trophy. I then drove back to Boston. The Mercedes Diesel starting burning oil too, so I did not drive it that much. I left the Mercedes in Boston, and I flew back to Chicago, and I stayed possibly in Lake Forest, where I met up with other friends, and I drove with them down to Jacksonville, Florida to transfer some vehicles down there. After staying in Jacksonville, Florida for about a week, I flew down to St. Thomas, where I stayed with another college roommate. I toured the island and St. John's, but I was not able to find a job. I flew back to Chicago, and I stayed with another college classmate who lived next door to the www.ibm.com building in downtown Chicago. After job hunting for a while and campaigning for Richard Nixon, I convinced the friend to rent a larger apartment at 31 East Elm St., where we moved in. As I recall it was $400 a month. I took a job driving a taxi for a few days, but the routine was too hectic for me. That was December 8, 1972. I recall George Cary visited the apartment for about a week and then returned home to East Aurora, New York. I then worked at I Magnum across from the Drake opening shipment packages for about a week. After a holiday party or two, I returned back to Boston for Christmas. Around the first of the year, I moved down to Manhattan to stay with my youngest sister, until around June 1973, when my family moved back to Greenwich, Connecticut. I recall in that period my father sold the Mercedes Diesel that I left in Boston. CIO

!!!!!!!!!! Note: <888> 10/29/11 Saturday 8:55 P.M. I just had an idea for a bionic hand for people missing one hand. One could wear a bionic remote control glove on the good hand to control the bionic hand on the missing arm by having the bionic hand mimic the good hand's movements , and one could have it switch from controlling the bionic hand to not controlling it, so one could use the good hand. It would be a two step process, but one would not need to connect the bionic hand to any existing nerve endings on the missing hand arm. One could also program with it certain repetitive task procedures such as eating. To enable or disable the bionic hand, one could have a pair of glasses that, when one winks one eye or both eyes, it enables or disables the bionic hand.

Note: <888> 10/27/11 Thursday 12:45 A.M. I guess www.ibm.com might have first noticed me back around 1971, when I was an independent contractor at www.polaroid.com working on programming an IBM 360 by writing a COBOL computer program for a Spread Sheet. Later that summer, my youngest sister whom was a friend of Susan Watson arranged for me to go to Susan Watson's debutant party at the St. Regis Hotel roof. My youngest sister's date was Bob Bianchi who is now a Seattle, Washington deputy sheriff. I took a friend of hers from Greenwich, Ginny Warburg. We changed into our formal clothes at the Warburg town house in Manhattan. We stopped by the Donahue's apartment in Manhattan which had not been used since the 1930s. Mark Donahue was a friend of Bob Bianchi, and I think he also went to the debutant party. Bob was from Belmont, Massachusetts, and Mark was from Winchester, Massachusetts. At the party, we all had a good time, and I recall having a few drinks. I parked my mother's brown Chevrolet Monte Carlo just east of the entrance to the St. Regis Hotel. I think we also might have stopped by the Gotham Hotel across the street for another friend no relation Donahue's debutant party. Towards the end of Susan Watson's debutant party, I decided to go out and check on the car, and both Tom and Arthur Watson got in the elevator with me. The St. Regis Hotel elevator was very small with the old 180 degrees handles. Since the elevator operator was not there, I had to try to figure out how to use it. After a very rough ride with lots of stops and goes and ups and downs, I finally made it down to the ground floor. I later returned to the party, but I am not sure what happened to the Watson brothers. CIO

At 125 Greenwich Avenue, the vacant store there is occupied by a large selection of cashmere clothing on sale. I was told by a local at CVS that Nantucket no longer has an A&P.

Note: <888> 10/19/11 Wednesday 6:30 P.M. My current Audi battery is three years old which should be good enough for this coming winter. However, no matter what condition one's automobile battery is in the winter, to keep it fully charged, one would have to drive about 20 miles at least which would cost me about $10, so although I might drive downtown every couple of days, on a very cold day, I might need a little extra battery power to get the Audi going, so I keep the jump start systems. The Audi usually starts right up, and one does not give it gas from the accelerator. The batter on the Audi is against the engine compartment wall with the passenger compartment on the passenger side, and one has to remove a cover with a coin a like a quarter to access the battery terminals. So far in the four years that I have owned the Audi, I have never had to jump start it, but it is worth being prepared. CIO
Note: <888> 10/19/11 Wednesday 6:15 P.M. Since I have 12 Volt socket adapter for my laptop computers, technically I could run a laptop computer off one of the 12 volt sockets on the jump start systems.

The older Slaymaker jump start system has this battery in it Mobility, Sealed Lead Acid Batteries, Sealed Lead Acid Battery, Mobility Wheelchair Scooter SLA Battery which is 7.13 inches by 2.99 inches by 6.57 inches , technically since I think, one can replace 12V 17AH with 12V 18AH, the one that I received today PS-12180-NB Power Sonic Replacement SLA Battery (12.00 Volts 18.00 AmpH) - High quality and lowest price guaranteed would work, if I ever wanted to replace the battery on the older Slaymaker Jump Start system.

I gave my 11 A.M. appointment my Energy Assistance information, so I have that done for this coming year. I then walked back downtown, where I had parked my Audi.

Well not much happens here in America, since we can not afford to go elsewhere to see how the more modern people live. We manage to survive, because we still have quite a few people whom work in agriculture, because they enjoy eating versus communicating. I do know with a billion people in Western Europe, there is probably less food to go around, which is why all of the Europeans that one sees in the news are quite skinny. Over here in America, we have such a large number of "Overweight Porkers" that there obviously is no lack of food, once one get away from the urban centers. Whether Obesity or Internet Addiction are major problems in America, it is hard to determine, but I have a feeling the younger generation is up to something all of the time, they are just not as present on Main Street as some of the older generation.

There are probably a lot of old Beatles fans around here, but from what I know, they do not have any sort of spot where they can gather together and listen to Beatles music. I used to hear some Beatles music a long time ago, possibly coming from the Thataway cafe on Sunday nights on Greenwich Avenue. However, since I quit drinking beer and liquor over 25 years ago, I have not been going to Pubs to listen to music. I guess I could listen to music at home, but I find it distracts from my constant internet work. I guess being on the internet for 22 years, I have lost some of my social skills that I used to have. Still, I seem to have a quiet peaceful life, and at the ripe old age of 61 years old, I need a little bit more rest than when I was a young Beatles fan. I guess that was my first introduction to the British, but I still have not made if to Great Britain or England or the United Kingdom to see what it is really like over on the other side of the Pond. I guess I probably eat too much by British standards too, so a few British people would be starving if I went over there. CIO

As I recall back in the April to June 1974, when I lived on West 20th street in Manhattan across the street from the Anglican Seminary, my two roommates were Chris Hemphill from Connecticut and John Wells from Pennsylvania. Both had attended www.yale.edu and Chris was a writer for Town and Country magazine and I think John Wells family were involved in the advertising agency Wells, Rich and Greene, but they also could be involved with the Wells Fargo bank. It is a common family name in America. My allergies have been bothering me recently. I had a $20 phone bill that I could not pay, so I moved back to Connecticut, and I sold my blue Volvo sedan while I was living there, so it was difficult getting around in Manhattan, and also about that time, they started Alternate Side of the Street Parking, so one could not sleep all day without having to wake up to move one's car. I think the New York City sanitation garages were nearby as were the MTA bus terminals. Malcolm Forbes had a town house nearby on West 21st street though, so there were some established New Yorkers in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. I tend to prefer the country though, since when one starts to move around Manhattan, it can be very busy. In my time in Manhattan, it was not too busy in August, when people are away on vacation. Also on Super Bowl night, it tends not to be too busy, because a lot of people are watching television. CIO

I recall back when I was at www.lfc.edu , a lot of the meat packing families in the United States of America lived in Lake Forest, Illinois. However, at Lake Forest College, the hamburgers were only about a quarter of an inch thick and the steaks were only about a half inch thick, when they were served occasionally. American Hospital Supply is a provider of wound care, medical equipment and supplies, and orthopedic implants in the Caribbean built a corporate headquarters nearby about the time I left Lake Forest, Illinois in 1972. Two classmates at Lake Forest College had the family name of this company www.ford.com and another had the family name of this company Power Management, Powering Business Worldwide and another classmate had the family name of this company The world's most trusted name in belts, hoses & hydraulics | Gates Corporation . Of course besides meat packing Lake Forest, Illinois is famous for the McCormick family of International Harvester known today as Navistar . Also another classmate was John Riggs of the Riggs National Bank in Washington D.C.. In my four years at Lake Forest College, I only had two friends stop by from out of town. One was Myles McGough from Katonah, New York who was a classmate at the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut. He use get drive away cars and transport them between both the east and west coasts. I do not know when he was transporting them, if he had to pay for the gasoline of not. The other was Greg DeSantis who was somebody my family met on vacation in Tobago, and he was driving a new Mercedes Benz from California back to Boston, and he had mechanical problems, and since I had a hobby of restoring old Mercedes in Lake Forest, Illinois, the local Mercedes Benz dealership knew me quite well, and we were able to get his car fixed. Out in the Midwest since it is wide open spaces with no place to go, people do not drive cars very much, and there are a lot of low mileage cars in the Midwest, since when they travel long distance they use other transportation like trains and planes. In Lake Bluff, Illinois Lake Bluff Homes for Sale & Lake Bluff Real Estate - IL | Homes.com , one can still buy a two bedroom two bathroom 1100 square foot condo for $78,000, but it looks like it might be actually in Libertyville, Illinois which is near Great Lakes Naval Station www.navy.mil if you happen to know any Squids.

About the only Sara Lee product, I ever bought were frozen pound cakes.
The Joy of Cooking recipe for a Pound Cake is:
Two 9 X 9 inch pans or two 4.5 inch X 8.5 Inch Loaf Pans
Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees Fahrenheit:
Have all ingredients about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Sift before measuring:
4 cups of cake flour
Resift with:
1 teaspoon of salt
4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
(1/2 teaspoon of mace)
Cream Very Well:
1.5 cups of butter
Add and continue creaming until light: 3 cups of sugar
Add, one at a time, and continue beating well after addition: 8 eggs
Add the flour mixture alternatively with:
1 cup of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla
(2 tablespoons of brandy or 8 drops of rose water)
Stir only until thoroughly blended. Bake in greased pans for 15 to 20 minutes, if in lawyers.
If baked in loaf pans, prepare them by lining each one with parchment paper.
Let the paper project for easy removal of the loaves, and bake one hour.
In baking pound cakes at high altitude, omit any leavening called for. CIO

Way out in the Midwest, where they tend to have a lot of food, they have forgotten about me a long time ago, since when I went to www.lfc.edu out there, I was very skinny about 125 pounds. In fact while I was at Lake Forest College, when I did my own cooking, I would frequently eat salmon steaks which were 59 cents a pound at the Lakeside Foods grocery store along with minute rice and cooked frozen vegetables. They overcooked the food at the college. I also would eat breakfast whenever I woke up at Jim Mitchell's restaurant. Since I worked local jobs while going to college, I had a bit of extra money. When I came back east, www.poloroid.com still existed, but I wanted to work in Finance or at www.ibm.com , but when the stock market crashed in 1973, job hunting was sort of futile, so I just did chores around the family house in Greenwich, when I was not in Manhattan.

Back in the 1970s during the recession, when Manhattan was more affluent, they had meat packing warehouses on the Hudson River around West 14th street. One could see who sides of beef being delivered to the meat packing warehouses, but since New Yorkers do not eat too much, they replaced the Meat Packing District with Art Galleries, so now one can stay thin and look at the art work in the meat packing district. Back in the 1970s people in Manhattan would eat stuffed Dover Sole with rice for dinner and for lunch they would eat watercress salad with Dijon vinaigrette dressing with a thin slice of toasted French bread for a crouton. Thus I think we are still eating better out here in the country, but the urban diet where urban people stay thin, so they can walk more might be healthier.

I finished doing the Paragon backup of the Dell Dimension 4600i computer and both of partitions of XP Professional and Windows 8 Developer to the Western Digital external hard drive. If I had to do a restore, I might still have to reinstall the openSUSE operating system with its GRUB boot manager after the restore.
My free Lifeline LG wireless phone is charged up with another 250 free minutes for this month. CIO

Note: <888> 10/01/11 Saturday 2:20 A.M. I have Windows 8 Developer installed and mostly configured on the second hard drive of the Dell Latitude 4600i computer. When I installed it, I had disconnected the first hard drive with Windows XP Professional and openSUSE. Since the Grub boot loader on the first hard drive had Windows 8 Developer on the second partition the second hard drive, the Windows 8 Developer installation was recognized, since it first install a smaller partition making the Windows 8 Developer the second partition matching the Grub boot loader as I had it configured. Once installed, I just installed the first hard drive as the first hard drive and the Windows 8 Developer as the second hard drive.
I was able to get the Netgear FR114P Print Server working with my network and the Lexmark E238 laser printer. The catch is to install its drivers in XP3 compatibility, but not to run the Add Port Program. Then from the Add Remove Programs, one chooses the Compatibility Option and from the list of installed programs, one can run the Add Port Program installing the Netgear FR114P port correctly. Once I have the system completely configured, I will do a Windows XP Professional Paragon Backup of the XP Professional partition and the Windows 8 Developer partition to the Western Digital external hard drive.
