Note 10/30/97 Thursday 11:45 PM EDT: I got up at 2 PM this past afternoon, after being up on the net until 6:30 AM yesterday morning. I was awaken by the workmen hammering and sawing on the roof outside of my window. It seems that they are doing an excellent job of repairing the building. Hopefully in the spring or summer, they will get around to painting the building's trim. I am keeping the heat in my apartment at 70 degrees F. . I stopped by the hospital thrift shop this past afternoon and they had all their merchandise half price with a wide variety of goods. I went down on Greenwich Avenue, and the New York City ABC News truck was there. The cameraman told me I don't look like Peter Jennings, unlike the comments from certain blind people in the area. They were reporting on a story that ran a few days ago in the Greenwich Times about two men trying to abduct a 12 year old girls in Greenwich. I noticed a link that you might find useful in PC Magazine on this subject, it is Safeguarding Our Children - United Mothers . Working families seem to be gravely worried about the security of their children, as I told a coworker in the area based on my experience five years ago, one should keep an eye on their children first, and put career second. As with all New York City communities, we try to keep a neighborhood watch in Greenwich, and I have spent 14 years on Greenwich Avenue at all times of day at all times of the year, keeping an eye out as I did in all other commuunities I have lived in. It is a quite tiring and exhausting past time, and in a busy area one frequently gets an overdose of humanity after a while and begins to fell like a New York City policeman. Obviously having grown up down south until age 12, I am use to spending more time outside than most civilians, and pace myself on my daily rounds. Although legally one can do very little if something happens other than notify the police, a large community presence is the best safe guard against unwanted intruders. Greenwich has had 25 dinner time burguleries in recent months, so obviously a gang is working the area. Knowing the local law enforcement's high degree of professionalism, I am sure they will solve both cases soon. Mark Furman of the O.J. Simpson trial fame, is writting a book on a unsolved case 25 years ago here, he is looking for any information on the case and has posted a 1-888-975-9306 telephone number for anyone that might have any information on the Moxley murder case. It is my impression from the news reports that I read on the case many years ago, the investigating officers thought it was a transient that came off the highway since the sight of the murder was near the 95 thruway. Because of politics, I think people have blown the case out of proportion, and a professional FBI expert would tell any informed member of the general public, that there are a large number of unsolved cases in the country probably attributed to transients or travellers coming through a community. One FBI report I once read said that at any given time there are 200 serial killers lose in America, meaning people who have committed more than one murder. Needless to say staying out in the vicinity of the police station is relatively safe activity, and from an insurance stand point, one's own home is considered the most dangerous place. It reminds me I have to buy a bath mat for the tub shower. Thus if any former members of the Greenwich community has any information on the Moxley case and runs across this message, call Mark Furman at 1-888-975-9306. Obviously a professional law enforcement officer would probably assume that people with celebrity attrack a few bad apples too. The local elections are this next week, and I plan to vote Republican which is the status quo in Greenwich. After dinner I went by the library and was unable to find the local paper, and then I walked downtown for several hours and enjoyed the warmer weather. This coming weekend is suppose to be a wash out with rain. I suppose some people had hoped to rake leaves which is also the status quo for property owners this time of year. One of the most unseen nusances at night is the large skunk population around town, which if you happen to stumble across one can be sort of nasty. Wash with tomatoe juice to remove the smell. I believe one skunk lives in the bushes by the senior center. Also one local told me from experience that the Cos Cob power plant site is an environmental nightmare. Back to the net. CIO

Note 10/30/97 Thursday 1:00 AM EDT: I got up yesterday about 3 PM in the afternoon and watched the President of the USA and the President of China in their news conference on CNN. I went by the library and read the four computer newsweekies, I read every week. One controversial link report in the computer press was the German view of World War II, Zündelsite and www.ostara.org ostara.html - the site for patriots, law and order . I have not had time to study it. Of course an equally good site for patriots would be U.S. Air Force World Wide Web Sites , particularly if one is interested in low cost air travel on a limited budget, of course some restrictions do apply as with all low cost operations. Check out the old model of the DC-3 Mohawk Airlines in the departures lounge of Westchester Airport, if you ever are in the area. It is like the first plane I flew into in this area in 1961. Of course Chemstrand back then had a fleet of private planes along with Monsanto. I believe that day I flew from the Decatur - Huntsville, Alabama airport up to Raleigh Durham where the Research Park was, and then to National Airport in Wahsington D.C. where Dad introduced me to the head of the then Atomic Energy Commission who he happened to recognize in the airport and then on to Teddleboro Airport near Trenton, New Jersey and then to McArthur Airport on Long Island, and finally we landed at Westchester Airport as I recalled and took a stretch Cadillac limousine to Stamford, Connecticut to stay at the now closed Roger Smith Hotel which did not have very good barbque. The following day I interviewed at Greenwich Country Day School and was accepted because I had good academic skills and knew quite a bit about the game of golf. That kind of airline travel I called "puddle jumping" in the old days. Of course I had been on dozens of other flights down south since it seemed some of the people living around NASA in Huntsville were experienced pilots in those days. In other news after going to the library I walked around down town, I asked Quinn's Market if they had ever heard of Corby's liquor. On the way back to Byram, I stopped by Var Max Liquor Pantry in Port Chester, New York and studied the current state of their Scotch Whisky inventory. They had one bottle of Windsor Whisky from Canada for $13 a fifth left on display. Plenty of other Scotches. Dewars was about $20 a fifth, and Canadian Club about $13 a fifth. They have Glen Morangie in three different ages up to $50 a fifth, plus the usual assortment of other Whiskeys including a big bottle half gallon of Johnnie Walker Blue. I did not think their Scotch and Whisky selection area was very large, they seem to have mostly wine on display with excellent values in some close outs. They did not know what Corbys Whisky was, so I suppose it has not been around here in a long time. One old timer on Greenwich Avenue who is known for having a night cap at the Greenwich Harbor Inn told me it was an excellent Canadian Whisky and like a great many distillers, the Canadians don't export the good stuff. I suppose it is like "Holy Isle" single malted Scotch Whisky which is usual given as a gift and not exported from Scotland. At Var Max they said they carried one brand of whisky that has 5,000 blends in it, but they did not tell me the name. I suppose on a cold night when one has been outside on the moors all day, a little whisky helps warm up the innards. I also was told that whisky does not go bad over time if opened, but it will evaporate if not properly sealed. This is not to encourage whisky drinking, but it is a commentary on the current state of the Whisky business as I was able to investigate it in the area. A good adverising slogan would be "Windsor Whisky, the Whisky that Won the West", but my favorite brand name I have not ever seen would be called "Old Courage". It seems that rather than encourage illegal drinking and driving in the area, the responsible people use limosines to get around so as to avoid traffic accidents. I then made flavored brown rice for dinner and sauted spicy chicken breast and green peas. I made my coffee and went out with it in my thermos, and sat out on Greenwich Avenue about 9:30 PM. It was very slow, and David at the Senior Center told me that he met the Governor of Connecticut yesterday when he was using the rest room at the Senior Center. I believe the governor was in the area for the opening of the Swiss Bank Corporation headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. According to the Greenwich Times, they have a large trading floor on the sixth floor. As I recall the Swiss speak, Italian, German, and French in their native land. Of course I live across the street from Perrier, which is owned by Nestle a Swiss company in White Plains, New York. As I recall when I first went to school in Europe in Italy at the University of Grenoble extension in Firinze, everyone called American style coffee, "Nescafe". It was basically instant coffee, a cup of hot water and a little package of "Nescafe" instant coffee. I soon learned that Cafe Au Lait was much more enjoyable which is Espresso and Hot Frothed Milk, similar to Cappacino. I saw the Chief of Detectives coming out of the Colonial Diner this evening, and I had not seen him in a while. Tuscons was very busy with what seemed to be a local younger crowd. Over all Greenwich was very quiet for a Wednesday night. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a 100 tea bag box of Lipton Tea for $1.39 which is on sale. There seem to be quite a few local hospital workers that reverse commute into the New York area in the evening. The most common pedestrians out in the late evening on Greenwich Avenue are hospital workers going back and forth to the hospital. That's all for now folks. PS, I believe in the old days in the NAVY whisky was considered a Red Cross Emergency ration and kept by the Medical Officer. CIO
Note 10/28/97 Tuesday 9:00 PM EDT: Market rebounds, and my bell weather portfolio is basically back where it started when I began it. Look at www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . At least the two amount changes now match, which I think they should. A friend bought a 1,000 shares of General Electric this morning. Lets watch the market for the rest of the week for now. In other news, I stopped by the Aronold Bakery Store and bought three loaves of wheat bread for $2.59. I spent $3.80 on $2.99 a pound Purdue Boneless Chicken Breasts. I stopped by the library and read the Greenwich Times. The Swiss Bank Corporation was opening their new office building complex in Stamford, Connecticut today. Let's hear it for the Swiss, Swiss Bank Index . I believe the 29th is my hippie friend's in Cologne, Germany birthday, www.raven.com still does not exist. Happy Birthday to Chris and his girl friend. Don't cast any wicked spells on "All Hallows Eve". I chatted over the weekend with a fellow from Deutch Telecom in Bremen. He told me the Bremen Shipyard is for sale. I think it would make an excellent investment for a containership port for Europe, somebody should look into it. All the Germans on the net using Iphone seem to be drinking beer. The television said this evening that a man's waste should be half the size of his height to maintain good cardiovascular health. Thus if you are 6 foot tall, you should have a 36 inch waste or less. Over all it was a pretty peaceful day, but I am well fed after my dinner this evening. I like watching Sherlock Holmes on television, but I have not found any features on recently. Perhaps I will surf the tube instead of the addicting net, but let's wait and see. CIO
Note 10/28/97 Tuesday 1:25 PM EDT: I noticed my stats Scott's Stats for October are over 10,000 this month; but nobody is looking at www.mikescott.net/bmnow.htm and www.mikescott.net/note02.htm which I put a lot work into. My Microsoft categories seem to be busy though. I emailed the site manager at Collecting Fossils in California about what I recalled about the Dinasaur Eggs in Decatur, Alabama in response to his email. I suppose it was all covered up by the NASA scientists in the area. We do have an exhibit on Dinasaurs at the local Bruce Museum in Greenwich that I have not been to yet. CIO
Note 10/28/97 Tuesday 11:45 AM EDT: Up latter this AM. The stockmarket seems to have rebounded a little. I would still exercise caution. I will maintain my normal routine. CIO
Note 10/27/97 Monday 11:00 PM EDT: For all of you Robber Barron Yuppies, who have been ripping of the system blindly, I have a new resort for you all in French held territory called "Devil's Island". It is a modern yuppie resort sort of like the old television series "The Prisoner". Following are the links to the only television show on the island. It is sort of like "1984".
Six of One "The Prisoner" Appreciation Society
Kipp Teague's RetroWeb Classic Television "The Prisoner"
In addition since you are prisoners, you might as well help fix up the resort, we have not bothered upgrading it recently. It is just as it was when "The Butterfly" tried to escape. Sorry I am not the "BOSS", just CIO "Chief Information Officer"for the prinsoners. So basically I guess you should make "Devil's Island" like the television series "The Prisoner". CIAO
Note 10/27/97 Monday 7:30 PM EDT:Scott's Bell Weather Portfolio www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm was down -$56,080.88 today. All the eights in the change remind me of the universal warning number "8". Thus one should exercise caution. I have seen the number "8" a lot recently, but I don't know if it means a relevant natural disaster like a volcano errupting, or some other disaster like the stock market going down. I would suppose it will continue to go down tomorrow. Let's wait and see. Be sure to exercise caution in one's activities. Remember this is a Bell Weather demonstration portfolio, I don't recommend buying it or selling it. I certainly would not buy stocks tomorrow; and if I owned them I would keep selling them. Obviously major forces are shorting the market. Let's wait and see. CIO
Note 10/27/97 Monday 1:30 PM EDT: I was up at 10 AM. I checked my email and updated www.mikescott.net/bmnow.htm which should have something to keep you busy. I emailed a site in California about Dinasaur Egg fossils, and also St. Andrew's University in Scotland about the directory. CIO
Note 10/27/97 Monday 12:00 AM EDT: I had a relaxing weekend. I cleaned my apartment, watered the plants, did laundry. I bought a pound of Cashews at Fresh Fields. I bought a pound of Columbian Coffee at the Food Emporium. I had a pound of poached salmon for dinner. There is a quiet misty rain falling this morning. As far as I can tell not much is happening around here, just the normal fall routine of this peaceful quaint New England village on Long Island Sound. Of course that is tongue in cheek, since the avenue on Friday and Saturday night was filled to capacity with the usual dinner hour guests. Enjoy the week and watch the stock market. CIO
