<888> 10/31/13 Thursday 6:10 P.M.  I went out, and I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I was told they are not going to build the southern half of the new building where the Thataway patio used to be at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue on the east side.  I was also told the Asians are trying to buy the Ipad Air early, so they can resell it at a profit.  I stopped by CVS, and I used the bathroom.  I bought two three ounce Hormel bacon bits for $2 each for $4 total.  I finished my walk, and then I walked over to Zen Stationary, and I bought a Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I then went by the Stop and Shop.  They have finished repaving their half of the parking lot.  I bought two prepared chicken dinners for $2.99 each, two 16 ounce Stouffer's chicken pot pies for $2.50 each, and bananas for .79 a pound for $1.75 for $12.73 total.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I started two wash cycles, and I have 10 minutes to go on them.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I watered the plants.  CIO

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country, and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don’t really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could find the time, and if they didn’t have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much.

<888> 10/29/13 Tuesday 5:40 P.M.  IBM PC pioneer William C Lowe dies, aged 72 .  I sat down with somebody from www.ibm.com in December 1977 in a coffee shop in Boca Raton, Florida off U.S. 1, and I designed on a coffee shop napkin my idea for a personal desktop computer based on what I knew about an IBM 360 that I had worked with 6 years before at www.polaroid.com ,when I was an independent contractor writing COBOL programs.  Of course none of the parts were yet invented for my design.  The napkin was one of those standard folded napkins like one still sees today in many restaurants around the world.  Later on that week, with my paycheck from the Le Vielle Maison as a dishwasher, I bought a new pair of Adidas Country sneakers for the standard $40, and I buried my old pair at sea in the Boca Raton Inland Waterway Canal near my camp site on the beach on the Boca Inlet.  I quit the job and left the area for the Bahamas in February 1978, when they started building a deluxe hotel at my camp site.  As I recall, I was being paid $2.15 an hour as a dishwasher before taxes and other deductions, so my weekly pay check was only about $87 a week take home, which was not enough to afford a room in Boca Raton.  CIO

<888> 10/29/13 Tuesday 3:55 P.M.  One gardening tip that I did learn in Alabama is that my father once bought a truck load of cotton seed hulls to spread around the Cherry Laurel hedges on our property, but we never got around to spreading them around, so there was a big pile of cotton seed hulls on the southwestern corner of the property.  I planted some daffodil bulbs in the cotton seed hulls, and the next spring the whole pile of cotton seed hulls were covered with daffodils which grew quite rapidly and in abundance in the cotton seed hulls.  However, in Greenwich, Connecticut; there is probably a shortage of cotton seed hulls, since I do not think we grow too much cotton around here.  CIO

<888> 10/29/13 Tuesday 3:35 P.M.  Well not much happening out in the extreme corner of Greater Southwestern Connecticut.  I was told by a friend in the know in Manhattan that New York City people can always recognize people from Connecticut because they always wear blue jeans.  Maybe that is because the color of Connecticut license plates or there are a few people in the www.navy.mil out in the wood work in Connecticut.  The deputy mayor of Manhattan http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.047d873163b300bc6c4451f401c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=nyc_photo_slide&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2Fbios%2Fbio_om_dm_ed.html even has a house on Mayfair Lane in back country Greenwich, so we probably have some security here from the http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/home/home.shtml .  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

<888> 10/28/13 Monday 9:30 P.M.  The reason people from www.polaroid.com were on better terms with the New York City business community in the late 1960s and early 1970s is that like a lot of other major blue chip companies, they used to pay a million dollars a minute to advertise extensively on the three major television networks which use to broadcast to a lot more people than they do now with all of the other networks and the internet.  CIO 

<888> 10/28/13 Monday 9:00 P.M.  I ate a reheated chicken and mashed potato dinner with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil on the mashed potatoes and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  Basically most people on the coasts of the United States of America are not familiar with people from the Midwest.  People from the Midwest tend to work for lower wages because the cost of living there is less expensive, but it is also colder out there, so they have additional expenses with the colder weather.  Also since a lot of food is grown and produced and packaged in the Midwest, they tend to eat more food out there.  People do not smoke tobacco out there, but they do drink alcohol.  They tend to be conservative in large numbers, because they are tax paying property owners, and a lot of them are descended from long resident American families and not recent immigrants.  In the less densely populated areas in the Midwest, they tend to have larger family networks, and they also tend to be more neighborly.  I always said, everyone's maiden aunt in the Midwest knows more than the CIA.  Thus although the recent immigrants to this country have networks of associates from their country's of origin, the people in the Midwest tend to be better networked with other long term American families.  Even Warren Buffet's son farms corn near one of the former Scott family farms now the Gard family farm in down state Illinois.  The Gard family name was my paternal grandmother's maiden name.  However, I can assure you other than growing tomatoes, wax beans, carrots, and Swiss chard in a small garden in Alabama as a youth, I do not know how to farm.  I did do a bit of gardening up north in my younger days, but since the summer season is short here, I tend to stick with computers year round.  CIO

<888> 10/28/13 Monday 7:35 P.M.  I went out, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I chatted with a couple of local walkers.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought buy one get one free of 250 count CVS Vitamin C 500 mg for $8.99 both and .57 tax for $9.56 total.  I then bought two 16 ounce CVS salted roasted almonds for $4.99 each for $9.98 total.  I stopped by http://www.petertesei.com/ and told them what little I know about politics which is not too much.  I finished my walk, and I sat out for a while.  I then walked down to the www.apple.com store, and I tried to figure out how to use an Ipad, but it is too complicated for me.  I think they should have chairs or stools in their stores, so older people can sit down for a while and try to figure out how to use the devices.  Anyway the case is lost on me, since I could never afford to buy one anyway and do not find the smaller screen user friendly also.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with three reference librarians and a local patron.  I mentioned that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bamford books cover U.S. government surveillance.  I then went by the Stop and Shop.  They are repaving half of the parking lot.  I bought a 16 ounce KC Masterpiece marinade for $1.74, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.69, two cooked chicken and mashed potato dinners for $2.49 each for $8.41 total.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  I chatted with a friend and a relative.  CIO

<888> 10/26/13 Saturday 8:15 P.M.  When I get the VOiP device, I can hook it into my second line phone system with my Radio Shack 43-433 two line phone switch that I have used on my Brother fax machine connection.  However, Radio Shack no longer has them available, but a similar product is available from Korea http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phone-Switch-Phone-Selector-Telephone-Line-RJ11-RJ12-/261083374465?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc9c82381 for $19.99 with free shipping.  One would be able to change the second phone system from the Optimum Voice to VOiP.  CIO 

<888> 10/26/13 Saturday 7:45 P.M.  I ate three ounces of almonds.  I then ate a 16 ounce Hungryman bourbon steak strips dinner with extra virgin olive oil and Smart Balance Spread on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  CIO

<888> 10/26/13 Saturday 6:30 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I used the Volvo navigation system to guide me to downtown Greenwich, and it works just fine.  However, one has to follow the raised LCD screen insturctions, and it does not have audio as far as I can tell.  The Board of Education Parking lot will be closed tomorrow for http://petpantryct.com/howlandprowl/index2013A.htm .  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought a "New Car" Christmas Tree scent card for $1.58 which I hung on the driver's side rear seat clothes hook of the Volvo.  I also bought a flip open key ring for $2.99 and tax.  I chatted with another computer person.  I chatted with a Greenwich Housing Authority official about my computer activity.  I stopped by CVS, and I used the bathroom which took a while with all of the customers waiting in line.  I saw a new www.cadillac.com with the Connecticut Vanity plate "USA UN".  I suppose some Anglophile type could get "UK UN" or "USA UK", but they might not be available and would be expensive.  I bought buy one get one free of CVS 60 capsule time release B-100 for $13.79 both and .88 tax for $14.67 total.  On the way down Greenwich Avenue, I gave to a local computer person walker the Seagate DiscWizard http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/enterprise-hard-drives/savvio-15k/discwizard-master-dl/ that has the utility to write zeros to the hard drive to do a low level format that I had brought with me on CD in a plastic jewel case.  The person was having hard drive problems that he mentioned on Monday.  I told him I used to know the owner of a British software company called "Online Decisions" that made work stations, but they did not hire me in 1973, because I did not know Fortran or whatever software code they used.  The had offices in Elmsford, New York and at the 666 Fifth Avenue building.  I also mentioned the old "Beagle Brothers" shareware company from Steamboat Road in the old days over 20 years ago.  After my walk, I went by the Stop and Shop.  I bought a 12 ounce package of Purdue chicken cutlets for $2.50, bananas for .79 a pound for $1.77, two 15.5 ounce Stouffer's stuffed peppers for $2.50 each, two 19 ounce Stouffer's lasagnas for $2.50 each and .75 can return and $2 off and $1 off Stop and Shop coupons with card for $10.52 total.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  Prince Charles http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/ is on the cover of www.time.com magazine this week.  I chatted with a friend.  I put the flip key ring on my primary key chain to collect the keys all together.  CIO     

<888> 10/26/13 Saturday 1:50 P.M.  To make Quaker oatmeal, I put a half of a cup of Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal in a microwave proof bowl, and I add a cup of water.  I then put it in the microwave oven with a microwave lid on top of the bowl, and I microwave it for 1 minute and 40 seconds.  I then add honey, milk, and a sliced banana.  Enjoy your breakfast.  I will now shower and clean up.  I will then go downtown to the World Famous Shopping Street of Greenwich Avenue with lots of expensive stores for women, and not much left for men but the CVS drugstore, Marmot, Brooks Brothers, Richards, Rink and Racket, Ralph Lauren, Lucky Jeans, Vineyard Vines, J. Crew, the Greenwich Running Company, Jack Wills, the Greenwich Hardware store, restaurants, movies, bars, banks, Restoration Hardware Store, Apple, the Police Station and a cup of coffee.  Hagen Daz went out of business on lower Greenwich Avenue.  CIO

<888> 10/26/13 Saturday 12:10 P.M.  I woke up at 11 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, 12 ounces glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  CIO

<888> 10/25/13 Friday 10:00 P.M.  I hung out my long underwear in the hallway to have available.  On cold nights, one should wear long underwear downtown along with warmer clothing.

<888> 10/25/13 Friday 7:45 P.M.  I finished reading the owner's manual for the Volvo XC 70.  Besides the AM/FM CD player with a remote 20 disk CD plus the 6 disk CD, it also has http://www.siriusxm.com/ , but I am not sure I am going to pay the $15 to $19 a month to listen to it.  The Volvo also has a sun roof, which I had noticed before.  It also has the Volvo Navigation system, and the remote control for it, is in the front pocket of the seat of the driver's side front seat.  I chatted with a relative.  It says to use 10-30 oil in climates that go above 85 degrees Fahrenheit.  The tires take 38 PSI.  CIO 

<888> 10/25/13 Friday 1:05 P.M.  The Republican Party members with their massive internet resources in Greenwich, Connecticut can hit back with http://www.petertesei.com/ .  I will now shower and clean up.  I might not be going out today, since I have work to do at home.  After I shower and clean up, I think I will read my 2005 Volvo XC 70 manual, which I have not done yet.  Nobody contacts me from Greenwich Avenue, so I guess they are mostly day trippers from elsewhere over there.  The only thing about Peter Tesei's web site that catches my eye is that the Honorary Chairman Malcom Pray is supposed to have died a couple of months ago, so I do not think he has updated his web site recently.

<888> 10/22/13 Tuesday 1:45 P.M.  I met up with person downtown I was following over to the garage in Stamford.  We got on I-95 East and got off exit 9 and took the Route 1 West.  On the north side of the street about a mile west opposite the Toyota dealership, there is a wide alley and about 200 feet down the alley is a small garage, where the individual is getting his Toyota fixed for 2/3rds the price of the dealership repair.  They also have a welder back there, so possibly they have an arch welder, if anyone needs an arch welder.  We returned the same way, and I got off Indian Field Road exit 4 and drove north to East Putnam Avenue, and then west.  I dropped the passenger off at Whole Foods.  I then went to CVS and picked up a prescription.  I then went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I walked up a block, and I ran into the passenger, and we chatted on a bench for a while.  I then walked the passenger back to his place.  There was a sad event going on that I witnessed.  I then returned to my Volvo wagon.  Somebody had parked within six inches of the driver's side door, so I had to get in on the passenger side which was awkward.  I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought bananas for .79 a pound for $2.01, a 7 ounce tub of Stop and Shop deli sliced roast beef for $2.99, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.69, and a chicken and mashed potato dinner for $1.99 for $8.68 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with neighbors.  I put away my groceries.  I chatted with a relative.  I chatted with a friend who has a relative going to work in England for less than six months.  The relatives needs to get their visa information process from this link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/ .  It seems quite complex and expensive, even if one had the money to go over there.  CIO

<888> 10/22/13 Tuesday 7:45 A.M.  It is the Seagate DiscWizard http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/enterprise-hard-drives/savvio-15k/discwizard-master-dl/ that has the utility to write zeros to the hard drive to do a low level format.  That would take a long time on a large hard drive, but it has a quick feature and one can always write zeros to the first 1% of the hard drive and then quit the program.  Doing a 1% zero write would probably also remove a boot sector virus from a hard drive.  I mentioned it to the local walker, who was not able to start his computer or logon because of some sort of a problem.  Of course after doing a low level format, one would have to reinstall and reconfigure the operating system.  I will now make a copy of it for the local walker, since without a computer working, he can not download it.

<888> 10/21/13 Monday 12:55 P.M.  I chatted with a friend cruising in an excursion boat off Oyster Bay, Long Island.  He said it was a nice day at sea.  I threw out the garbage.  I chatted with neighbors.  I got a telephone call reminding me to pick up a local walker at 5:15 P.M. and return the walker downtown.  CIO  

<888> 10/21/13 Monday 11:40 A.M.  Last week, I threw out my aloe plant, since it dried up.  Down south, Aloe plants can get very large with the warmer weather.  In my research, the Skakels were wealthy enough to have a private home out in Nantucket, and the father also built a private 18 hole golf course in Jupiter, Florida.  They probably had a large network of friend and associates in the local community.  I use to have friends in the Belle Haven community, when the event happened; and because I had worked at C.B.S. News, they  quit talking to me, whenever I saw them.  When the event happened I was out of town elsewhere, so I did not read the local news stories at the time, just mostly what I have read in the www.greenwichtime.com , since I returned in December 1983.  Since I was ten years older than the individuals involved, I was not personal friends in their network of friends. I did have a roommate in college at www.lfc.edu who was next door neighbors of the Bobby Kennedys in Hyannisport, so he might have met some of the Kennedys living next door to him, but he never told me whether he knew them or not.  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

<888> 10/21/13 Monday 12:25 A.M.  Around February 1987, I was able to visit Innsbruck, Austria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innsbruck  with a friend.  From AAA on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut, it was $799 per person for round trip on Lufthansa and connecting bus from Munich and a week's stay at a nice small hotel with breakfast and dinner.  I toured downtown Innsbruck.  They did not use any of their cars.  At the University they would study 12 to 18 hours a day.  They did not have cash registers and just used change purses.  I visited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor 's tomb in the church there, but he is actually not buried there.  I will now send out my weekly notes.  I will then go back to bed.  CIO

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.   Not much seems to be happening anymore.  I guess all of the writers that invent news in order to sell more publications have run out of ideas or they are not being paid anymore with all of the diverse content out there on the internet.  Perhaps, one should look into what is really profitable about the internet versus what the hype is all about.  It is basically inexpensive communications.  It is not meant to be the last word in scholarly thought.  From what I know a lot of seniors can not be bothered with the internet, since they are use to getting their news out of newspapers and television or radio.  They do have a voice in the country.  Also many people have larger networks of friends and associates, so they know more than the reclusive computer people whom pound away at the keyboards.  However, that does not mean they know more.  If that were the case the person in the middle of town would know the most.  Frequently a lot of people have different experiences and based on that experience they act differently  compared to the individuals for whom ignorance is bliss.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus CIO

<888> 10/17/13 Thursday 12:15 P.M.  I went outside, and I put a lantern flashlight on the back seat of the Volvo wagon.  I opened the locking gasoline flap, but when I closed it and locked the doors, it would not lock.  The owners manual says that one has to drive forward for it to lock.  I drove around the parking circle a couple of times, but it would not lock.  Possibly one has to drive a further distance.  I took off the non locking gasoline cap, and I stored it in the passenger side rear side storage compartment.  I put the http://www.jcwhitney.com/stant-locking-oe-replacement-gas-cap/p3038826.jcwx?filterid=d17227y2005g2j1 locking gasoline cap on.  I put one each of the two Stant keys on each key ring.  I will get a couple of copies made at a later day.  While I was checking out the Volvo wagon, I opened up the lower rear storage compartment, and I checked out the battery.   Since it is inside, one can not tell how old it is or not, but it looks brand new.  There is no date on it to tell, when it was installed.  CIO

The 105,000 service was done on the 2005 Volvo Wagon by Volvo.  However, I can not find a mention of when the Volvo last had its spark plugs replaced, since 60,000 miles; but I do not have all of the records, because two other relatives used the Volvo besides the relative I was given it by who was the original owner.  I do know the air conditioning system was replaced this past summer by another relative.  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

<888> 10/13/13 Sunday 9:45 A.M.  When my family lived in Weston, Massachusetts from 1968 to 1973, I knew two people that worked at the parts department at Alewife Volvo in Cambridge, Massachusetts and one person that worked the SAAB parts department on Commonwealth Avenue.  However, I spent most of my extra money at the Peter Fuller Cadillac Mercedes Benz parts department on Commonwealth Avenue buying parts for my 1951 Mercedes Benz 300B 4 door sedan that I was restoring, but my daily family work car at www.polaroid.com was a 1967 Mustang Convertible that was not very good on snow in the winter even with Firestone Wide Oval tires, but I did learn my way around to navigate the cow path streets of Boston and Cambridge and the surrounding area.  One of my favorite trips was driving out to Concord, Massachusetts on Route 2 to take pictures of the area which had a lot of old historical houses in the downtown area along with the Concord Bridge which I think the British once burned down to start the American revolution.  CIO

<888> 10/13/13 Sunday 6:25 A.M.  Back in 1983, one could escape Manhattan by taking the subway to a New York City airport, one could catch a $85 one way flight on Provincetown Boston Airlines to Nantucket, but then one would have to pay a $20 taxi fare to get from the airport to downtown Nantucket which was pretty slow compared to Manhattan.  When I stayed at Mrs. Frances' guest house on 31 India Street it was $5 a night for a bed in a shared room with three other beds with strangers.   When I worked at http://www.lelanguedoc.com/ , they had bunks rooms in the basement of their guest house on Hussey Street that were about $60 a week, but they were very Spartan conditions.  Both places had shared bathrooms.  CIO 

<888> 10/13/13 Sunday 6:20 A.M.  Out in Nantucket, I worked a variety of other jobs including painting, carpentry, baking, and opening sea scallops.  Since the work changes with the seasons out in Nantucket, one has to be flexible.  Actually washing dishes at night and in the early morning hours was a good night job.  However, I worked so much; I did not have much of a social life other than napping on the beach with a bunch of strangers.  The worst thing about being a low wage worker way out in Nantucket is that when the resort season ends, and one has to leave the island, and if one goes to Florida where nobody speaks English, one ends up starving and being homeless until it warms up back up north again.  Thus it is better to stay up north in one's hometown and not wander around to far away resorts.  CIO

<888> 10/13/13 Sunday 5:30 A.M.  I woke up, and I ate three scoops of coffee ice cream.   I finally woke up at 4:15 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk, a toasted bagel with butter and olive oil, 12 ounces glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.

Probably the worse thing about washing dishes out in www.nantucket.net was that underneath the dishwashing machine there were three five gallon pales of chemicals for cleaning the dishes, and they were replaced every two to three days.  Thus in the process of being a dishwasher, one would breath all of the chemicals in the steam from the dishwashing machine.  CIO

<888> 10/12/13 Saturday 6:45 A.M.  I ate a 6 ounce Greek yogurt.  Since I started eating Greek yogurt two weeks ago, I have been having solid bowel movements instead of the reverse.  I know yogurt has lots of enzymes that are good for the digestion.  Greek yogurt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_yogurt  is also suppose to have other qualities.  By reading the Smithsonian volcano reports http://www.volcano.si.edu/ , I have learned a little bit about volcanoes, although I have no specific training in the field.  After 22 years though, I do know how to run home computers.

When I got interested in Volcanoes early on during my internet activity. I learned that Paul McCartney had a house in Montserrat before the volcano erupted there as did Lord Mountbatten's family, so probably other British citizens had homes there.  Microsoft is near Mount Rainier another volcano.  The Rockefeller family vacation at Jackson Hole near the Yellowstone Super Volcano.  I visited Lanzarote in February 1972 which is also a volcano.  When I last lived in Manhattan up until February 1982, I lived on West 74th street a few blocks west of the Natural History, and I use to go to a pub behind the Natural History museum.  In that period after the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the following two winters were very cold in Manhattan down to minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit, so areas further north were probably even colder.  CIO

<888> 10/11/13 Friday 1:10 A.M.  http://www.lelanguedoc.com/ served 225 meals a night when it was busy in season.  The kitchen was staffed with three to four chefs, three dishwashers, one or two pot scrubbers, a salad and desert chef, one or two food prep workers, and couple of bakers when the restaurant was closed.  One of the most tedious jobs when I first started out as a pot scrubber was cleaning the heavy 50 gallon stock pot which would sit on the stove all day, and have lots of burnt crud on the bottom inside.  Cleaning lots of heavy French skillets is like lifting weights, so it gets one in good shape.  One uses a steel scouring sponge and for the heavy baked on burnt stuff, a paint scrapper.  One also has to get use to having a lot of irate French chef's with sharp chef's knives at one's back when one is a pot scrubber and learn to dodge the hot pots and skillets, when the chefs throw them in the large industrial sinks.  Also one gets use to the small of garlic cooking in the meals all of the time.  I never learned the mixtures of herbs, spices, and other ingredients that the chefs would use.  When the kitchen staff were cleaning up in the early morning hours, the chefs would frequently relax by reading large cook books.  Of course, I worked in a number of other restaurants before refining my skills at Le Languedoc.  India House where Jimmy Eldert worked served a more English menu.  The Gordon Folger Hotel in Nantucket and Le Vielle Maison restaurant in Boca Raton were more like large industrial kitchens.  In a smaller kitchen with a large staff, one does not walk around as much, but hands a lot of items around a short distance, but it is a lot more chaotic.  The last year I was at Le Languedoc in the summer of 1983, the chef liked playing disco music, when we cleaned up.  We also got a small cut of the waiter's tips.  Nobody knew what the waiters were doing, when they were not there, but some in the winter some worked for the Stowe ski patrol, and I think some were school teachers.  One of the bakers at the Gordon Folger and later the bar tender at Le Lanquedoc was the bartender at the outside cabana at the Fogarty House in Key West.  One of the waiters at Le Vielle Maison was from Hyannis along with all of the French Canadian chefs.  CIO

<888> 10/11/13 Friday 12:35 A.M.  Out in Nantucket, I did not make ham and cheese omelets, I made cottage cheese omelets.  Also when I stayed at Mrs. Frances' guest house at 31 India Street, I used to make my own yogurt using Columbo yogurt for a starter.  I was taught by Mrs. Frances' to cook a whole blue fish wrapped in aluminum foil stuffed with Hellmann's mayonnaise and fresh dill on a baking pan.  I think one cooked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.  Henry's sandwich shop was like a Nantucket version of Subway sandwich.  At the http://www.lelanguedoc.com/ besides being a dish washer and pot scrubber, I also had to clean up the whole kitchen at the end of the night which included throwing out hundred pound pails of garbage.  I also did food preparation work such as pinching off the tips of 50 pound bags of green beans, peeling garlic and cutting it up in a Cuinsart.  One of the most time consuming jobs was peeling a 50 pound bags of onions and cutting them up in the Industrial Cuisinart.   They served a lot of delicious French onion soup.  I also peeled a lot of fifty pound bags of potatoes.  I also had to sweep the sidewalk in front of the restaurant every evening before they opened.  When they were opening up the restaurant on April 1983, I found one of the missing Ming vases from the Jared Coffin House in the Cabana that the waiters used for a flower vase every night and ran through the dishwasher, until half way through the season, we figured out it was the missing Ming vase.  There use to be an older gentleman sitting on the patio of the Jared Coffin house that looked like a famous New York State politician, but I never chatted with him to see if it might be him.  There were even medical school students working in the kitchen of Le Languedoc, so I guess they learned to do surgery by boning New Zealand spring lamb.  I got a meal at the beginning of work every evening at 4 P.M. around 5 P.M., and at the end of work, and I would frequently take the second meal home to my roommate who worked the night shift at Cumberland Farms.   If I worked the shorter lunch shift, I would make a cottage cheese omelet before or after the lunch shift, and then go to the beach or for a jog before work at 4 P.M. to 4 A.M. shift.  The younger dishwashers were not up to doing the heavier work, which is why I was the Head Dishwasher, when I retired in the fall of 1983 making $8.25 an hour before taxes.  The chef owner to avoid dehydration in front of the hot stoves would drink lots of bottles of www.perrier.com through out the night.  I also got a free beer or other drink at the end of the night.  I was allowed one glass of milk with dinner, but I could drink soda from the bar through out the night.  CIO

<888> 10/10/13 Thursday 8:35 A.M.  I ate a 6 ounce Greek yogurt.  My last term at www.lfc.edu in the spring of 1972, I did a foreign study program for three months in Greece and Turkey after doing a three month foreign study program in Italy, France, Spain, and the Canary Islands earlier that winter.  That spring it was a little bit warmer in Greece than the colder winter weather in Italy.  I enjoying sitting out in Constitution Square opposite the St. George Hotel drinking the Greek wine they call Retsina.  My class toured around the old archeological sites in Greece and Turkey.  There were a lot of old Mercedes 300 B sedans in Athens, they used for taxi cabs, so they might still have some there.  It is hard to figure out the alphabet in Greece, since they use different characters.  However, I was able to buy an Opal station wagon outside of American Express for $300 to drive to Turkey and back.  www.mobil.com has a large refinery west of Athens.  I recall staying at the Main Line Hotel near Constitution Square, when we were not traveling.  It was sort of an odd program with only five guys and 30 girls.  The school supplied lunches during our travel which consisted of cucumber and cheese sandwiches which left one hungry.   Thus I saw a lot of Greece.  George Cary was on the program with me, but being Anglophile, he wanted to drop out of the program and run away to England, but I enjoyed the warmer weather in Greece.   I knew Prince Phillip was from Greece, so there were probably a few other people enjoying the warmer weather.  We also visited Hydra and Crete.  I saw a SST take off from Athens airport one day while I was sunbathing at the beach.  We ate a lot of souflakis and mousakas.  Souflaki is sliced rotisseries lamb with greens, onion, and tomato on a flat bread, and mousaka is ground lamb with mashed potatoes.  We also ate a lot of Greek salads which are very delicious and feta cheese omelets.  When traveling in Europe back then, since I was younger, I enjoyed drinking the local wine, particularly since it was the same price as bottled water.  If one wants to visit the Parthenon, one has to be in very could shape, since one has to walk up a lot of steps to get up the big hill.  Thus I guess Europeans go to Greece and Southern Spain, the way people here go to Florida.  CIO

<888> 10/10/13 Thursday 1:15 A.M.  When I was at http://www.taftschool.org/ from 1965 to 1968, once a week; they used to serve large overcooked Spanish omelets for a table of 12.  However, in my senior year at www.lfc.edu during Christmas Time, I went to a Deb party at the http://www.onwentsiaclub.com/ at Christmas Time thrown by owner of http://www.americanhospitalsupply.com/ , and for the late night early morning supper, they had chefs making fresh mushroom omelets which were delicious.  While living out in exile out on www.nantucket.net as a professional dishwasher pot scrubber on and off from 1975 to 1983, I mastered the art of making a three egg omelet with a eight inch French aluminum skillet over a natural gas flame burner.   I only have electric burners today.  However, I took my seasoned omelet pan, and I made an ate a three egg ham and Swiss cheese omelet which I ate with a toasted bagel with butter and extra virgin olive oil along with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  To make the omelet I break three large or extra large eggs in a mixing bowl, and I add two tablespoons of milk and a little bit of Italian seasoning.  I whisk it all together.  Then in a eight inch seasoned skillet on a medium high electric burner, I added three pads of butter and two tablespoons of butter, and once the fat begins to bubble, I add the egg mixture and lower the burner to medium electric heat.  Once the eggs are hardened enough on the bottom to flip the mixture, I flip it with a spatula, and I added the ham and cheese to one side, and once the omelet has puffed up a bit, I flip the empty side over the full side, and I put it on a plate.  This method however works better on a natural gas burner where one can control the heat better.  That is not the traditional way of making an omelet, but it does make a puffy omelet.  I will now take a nap.  CIO

<888> 10/08/13 Tuesday 6:20 A.M.  After I finished the garage apartment out in Plandome Manor, Long Island in February 1983; I earned $8,000 for 10 months or 6,000 hours work.  I traveled and bought a few items.  However, by the time I tried to move to Scandanavia after paying $800 for the S.A.S. package tour for a round trip ticket to Stockholm, Sweden and a week's stay at the S.A.S. Hotel there, when the S.A.S. jet landed in Scandinavia, it was at a military airport in Oslo, Norway.  At the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo, Norway, they told me, I only had a one way ticket to Stockholm and no hotel reservations.   I only had about less than a $100, so I stayed for a few days at the Y.M.C.A. across the street from the S.A.S. Hotel in Oslo, and when the Y.M.C.A. kicked me out for not paying my bill, I walked around downtown Oslo, and around midnight the Best Western Hotel behind the palace let me stay there without money, until the United States Embassy sorted out the case in about a week or so.  My father paid for my bills and return flight to J.F.K. in New York.  The United States embassy in Oslo gave me a $100 cash traveling money.   When I got back to New York City, I spent about a week sleeping the airport with no money, until I went back out to Plandome Manor, Long Island; and the same friend gave me a $100 that I used to fly up to www.nantucket.net for the season.  That was around Easter Time in 1983.  Thus I have never been to Stockholm, Sweden; but I have been to Oslo, Norway.   Besides a big United State Embassy building there, they have a large www.shell.com building there next to the S.A.S. hotel and a large www.ibm.com building.  I discovered the Russian Embassy is a modest chateau on the west side of the Frogmore park.   They were friendly in Oslo, Norway; but I hardly ate any food while I was there besides Swedish WASA crackers, so I was a bit hungry and disorientated.  This is what I looked like that fall after the summer in Nantucket http://mikelouisscott.com/mike-scott-kennebunkport-maine-august-1983.jpg before I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983, where I have lived since then.  I ate a Greek yogurt.  CIO

<888> 10/06/13 Sunday 5:35 A.M.  At www.lfc.edu , I had a friend that was the first woman to graduate from www.stamford.edu .  She introduced me to the joys of http://www.almaden.com/ Mountain White Chablis wine which was about $4 a half gallon.  I used to drink it frequently from about 1970 to 1973, and I enjoyed it also with sparkling mineral water www.perrier.com , and a twist of lime.  When I was in Manhattan, I started drinking Rene Junot French white table wine, until I gave up liquor over 20 years ago.   I guess once one quits drinking alcohol, one loses all of their friends, and one is left to a life of solitude amongst tea drinkers.  They probably still drink liquor in France, which is why one does not hear too much from them on the internet.  CIO 

<888> 10/06/13 Sunday 5:15 A.M.  After a two week vacation with family in Kennebunkport, Maine and now another two weeks at home without a car, I am getting a lot of rest recently; which I might need after 30 years walking downtown Greenwich Avenue for better or worse.   Basically private people do not normally spend that much time out in public, since they have homes and other labors to keep them busy.   However, since I played a lot of golf as a youth, I enjoy walking in a relatively quiet environment.   When I lived way out in www.nantucket.net , when I was not working; I enjoyed taking long walks on the quiet peaceful roads around the island.  Of course in the suburban metropolitan New York City area, the roads are rather busy.   I used to enjoy walking around the three mile walk at the Tod's Point beach park in Old Greenwich, but since it costs about two gallons of gasoline or about $10 to drive there and back, I do not do that anymore.  Since the senior center on Greenwich Avenue is 1.7 miles away, I find walking Greenwich Avenue, an enjoyable compromise.   West Putnam Avenue for walking is way too noisy with all of the traffic.   I could stroll around the baseball field in my backyard, but it is a short walk compared to the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I ate a Greek yogurt.  Russians in Russia that eat yogurt all of the time, frequently live to be over a 100 years old, and they swear by their yogurt.  Yogurt has a lot of enzymes that are good for the digestion system.  CIO

I guess in another week, when I get my 2005 Volvo station wagon, I will be able to travel all of the way to downtown Greenwich Avenue for exercise walking and people viewing.   I do have a degree in Economics, so I know a little bit about the local business community.   However, since I have not made any business contacts in the last 30 years, I guess there is no business at night around here.   In the daytime, there are so many professionals; one tends to be overwhelmed.  Everyone seems to have a different focus based on their nearby Manhattan experience.   There is supposed to be business in nearby Stamford, Connecticut and White Plains, New York; but they have never shown interest in me in the 30 years, since I left Nantucket as a dishwasher pot scrubber, despite my 23 years of personal computer experience.   I guess the younger generation is ahead of me, since I do not know software programming, and I do not have any office experience, except my home office.   I always thought it might be interesting to visit England and Scotland, but at age 63, I might not be too comfortable in the colder climate 1500 miles further north than Hudson's Bay, Canada.   Even in southern Maine, I feel a bit out of place, when I am up there on vacation in the summer.  From what I can tell not many individuals look at my web sites, so it is just what I have learned how to do.   CIO

<888> 10/04/13 Friday 4:10 A.M.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watch .   From experience, I know there are people awake all night long in nearby Manhattan, but I guess they still do not know how to communicate with the outside world around them.  A lot of people like the night time, because it is more peaceful.  In Russia, everything is suppose to be opened 24 hours a day eight days a week, so people can more easily be on a night time early morning schedule.  I know they do a lot of janitorial work at night besides having essential services such as medical and security working.  Even out here in the remote stretch of southwestern Connecticut, we have a number of 24 hour services.   I have not drunk alcohol in over 25 years, so I do not know if any people still drink alcohol in the early morning hours.   I never drank much alcohol anyway, when I used to go to pubs, I just enjoyed listening to the music, since I could never afford to buy records, not to mention it was fun watching the people try to have a good time.   We do get a large number of visitors in the New York City area, so they must be doing something, when they come here.   I think in England the Pubs have to close at 11 P.M., but they have private clubs that stay open later.   I think many of the private clubs have gambling.  In the old days, the local kids used to like to go the I-95 Darien rest area to watch the travelers pass by in the area on their journeys from other parts of the country.  In the moderate weather we have now there could even be fishermen on the waterfront.   I think the military maintains night watches for security purposes.  I miss the 24 hours grocery stores we use to have in Greenwich, but I guess there are not that many night people out here anymore.   I suppose the local Greenwich Hospital http://www.greenhosp.org/ must have least a hundred people awake at night.   The Greenwich Police probably have 40 to 50 people awake at night.  The fire department probably has at least 10 people awake.   The front desks at the hotels would have people awake.  The 24 hour gasoline stations would have people awake.   With a younger population out here, there are always a few younger people moving around.  There are probably a half dozen people awake on the GEMS ambulance service.   With the internet, there are probably people conducting international activities in other parts of the world, when it is daytime there.   I know the Foreign Currency traders work at night and the early morning hours.  I guess I got use to being on a night schedule, because during the Viet Nam War, the country seemed to run 24 hours a day, so it was always busy.  I left a message with http://local.yahoo.com/info-10641289-putnam-shell-greenwich that I would not be moving around until around October 13, 2013.   Maybe I will get some sort of brain storm about doing something new on the internet or with my computers.  I could always say that I am resting up for the launch of Windows 8.1 on October 18, 2013 Microsoft opens Windows 8.1 preorders before Oct. 18 launch , but there does not seem to be much interest in it with all of the rich people preferring the www.apple.com experience.

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 10:35 P.M.  I put away the clean laundry.   The new laundry machines seem to work just fine.  My relative that is giving me the 2005 Volvo Station wagon emailed me all of the Volvo Service records in PDF format.   The Volvo wagon seems to be in top notch condition with 107,000 miles on it.   CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 9:20 P.M.  I have 50 minutes to go on two dry cycles.  Two each of the news washer machines and dryers are Maytag, and the two larger machines are Wascomat machines.  CIO   

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 8:45 P.M.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I started two loads of laundry, and I have twenty minutes to go on the wash cycles.   For some reason the large washer machine charged me $3.00 instead of a $1.50 on my card.   I watered the plants.   CIO 

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 7:30 P.M.  I chatted with neighbors.  I threw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  I got my rent statement from the Greenwich Housing Authority.   There are new machines installed in the laundry room.   There is a new card machine and two washer machines that cost $1.25 and a larger washer machine that costs $1.50 and two dryers that cost $1.25 and a larger dryer that costs $1.50.  CIO 

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 6:15 P.M.   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, 12 ounces glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 4:50 A.M.  I once picked up a hitchhiker at night on Highway 666 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_491 that sort of looked like me.  His name was John, and he was traveling to Oakland, but he got off at a small casino motel on the south side of Reno.  I think I was trying to find a short cut from Interstate 10 to San Francisco on my second trip to California after building a basement playroom at a relative's house near Philadelphia.  I think on the return trip during the Iran Hostage rescue mission going on in Iran, I picked up two hitchhikers from Byram near Las Alamos, New Mexico on my way to Key West.  CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 4:00 A.M.  Pretty much no hitchhiking anymore http://www.hitchhiker.50megs.com/custom.html .   They use to have ride boards on college campuses.  Maybe there is an internet web site, where one can find rides to somewhere else.  CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 2:55 A.M.  One reason, I still smoke cigarettes at age 63 is that being out at night all of these years, I deal with a lot of people whom are drinking alcohol along with other night time diversions.   However, I rarely go out after 10 P.M. anymore.  There are wild animals in the country that are out at night, and I have dealt with Mountain Lions, Grey Panthers, Cougars, Bob Cats, Coyotes, Lynx, Jaguars, Skunks, Wolves, Bears, Red Fox, Owls, Bats, Rats, Alligators, Crocodiles, Sharks, Snakes and Raccoons at night, when no one was around here and other parts of the country.  The scariest encounter was probably on the west shore of Lanzarote http://www.lanzarote.com/ , when I was trying to camp out there on the beach, and in pitch black darkness I perceived that there might be something hostile around, but I never actually saw what it might have been.  Maybe it was some some creature out of the sea.  CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 2:30 A.M.  I ate a Greek yogurt.   I use to make my own yogurt, and I still could, but when I make up a batch of ten cups, I frequently would forget to eat it or not eat it, and it would go bad.  CIO

<888> 10/03/13 Thursday 2:25 A.M.  If you do not have a car in Greenwich, there is this for seniors http://www.communityanswers.org/organization/callaride-of-greenwich-inc/ .
