Michael Louis Scott's Notes November 2023
11/30/23
Thursday 10:00 P.M. I put a whole wheat pita bread on a dinner
plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then
alternated six slices of deli sliced ham with four slices of deli Norwegian
Jarlsberg cheese, and I folded one side over the other. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of
www.coke.com
Zero Sugar and six ounces of garlic and parmesan mashed potatoes with Smart
Balance spread. The slices of deli ham I am using are very thin, but the
cheese is just as thin ,
so it is basically a ham and cheese sandwich.
I will now
rest some more. CIO

Thursday 9:20 P.M. I moved the little light with the red bulb from the
living room window sill to in between the Ethan Allen recliner and the Queen
Anne chair on the small oak table with display devices and remote
controls. I put a low light white bent tip bulb in it.
I will now go
outside again. CIO
11/30/23
Thursday 9:05 P.M. I took the extra coats off the hooks on the front of
the right living room closet, and I put them in the right living room closet,
and I took out a bit blue heavy coat, and I hung it on the back hooks of the
apartment entrance door. The hooks on the right living room closet are
still available for hanging hooks.

Thursday 1:05 A.M. I took the pictures off the left living room closet
and stored them away on top of the center hallway bookcase. I then
removed the left living room closet door, and I adjusted it, so it is about
three fourths of an inch higher. I then reinstalled the left living room
closet door. I then moved the three foot by five foot area rug from underneath the Queen
Anne chair, so it goes right up to the left living room closet door, and the
door swings open easily above it. I put the small white throw rug in the
open space in front of the Queen Anne chair. I put the volcano calendar
and the thermometer on the left living room closet door.

Wednesday 11:55 P.M. I took the last inch thick piece of Angus roast
beef, and I put it on a microwave proof plate with microwave lid, and I heated
it for 2.5 minutes at 60% microwave power. I ate it with six ounces of
garlic and parmesan mashed potatoes with Smart Balance spread and a 8
ounce package of Green Giant microwave baby Brussels sprouts with butter sauce
and a 12 ounce glass of
www.coke.com Zero Sugar.
I moved the
three foot by five foot area rug from underneath the Queen Anne chair facing the
television, and I moved it closer to the left living closet covering the floor
at that location. I can not move it any closer,
because the closet door will not clear it. I put the smaller white area
rug in the rug gap behind the Queen Anne chair.

Wednesday 10:30 P.M. I watched the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
special, and I drank a brewed coffee outside half way through. I am now
watching the Elvis Graceland special.
I got a new
decorating inspiration. I moved the
www.hoover.com
upright vacuum and its accessories to the left side of the bedroom bed. I
then moved the brass and glass end table from the far side of the Ethan Allen
recliner to its left side. I also moved the Ethan Allen recliner a foot
closer to the living room windows. I then moved the Queen Anne chair at
the hallway entrance to along side of the Ethan Allen
recliner with both of them facing the televisions with the dark oak table with
remote controls and the brass and glass end table with remote controls in between
the Queen Anne chair and the Ethan Allen recliner. I put the Boston Cider
jug lamp back on the left side of the Queen Anne chair underneath the living
room windows. I moved the folding oak table from in front of the left
living room closet to behind the bedroom door. On the oak dining table, I
moved the four tablets to the left side of the primary work computer on the oak
dining table. I then moved the bent oak chair from in front of the left
living room closet as a third chair at the oak dining table. I moved the
new desk fan and the spare florescent bulbs on the left living room closet
shelf. Thus the apartment is set up better for watching television in the living
room, and the Ethan Allen recliner and the Queen Anne chair facing the
televisions are a lot more comfortable than an inexpensive sofa. Also there is nothing in front of the left living room closet, so it can be
easily opened for more formal clothes and shoes, if one needs to dress up
versus the Greenwich Dirt Bag look.

.
When I lived
in Manhattan, I never paid much attention to busy Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller
Center, since I liked to explore some of the quieter areas of Manhattan at
night. I remember walking around on cold winter's nights with not too
many people around. I guess most people in the City prefer the daytime schedule. After a six inch snow storm around 1974, Jimmy Eldert and I walked
around Midtown, and Jimmy Eldert took off his shoes and walked around barefoot
in the snow, so I guess coming from Syracuse, he is a real cold weather
person. Alas, I lost track of him, when he moved to California, and when
I returned to Greenwich on December 13, 1983 from
www.nantucket.net , I sometimes would
call up his expensive telephone number at the Malibu Colony, and all I would
get was the Flintstones cartoon theme song on his answering machine. I do
know when he worked as a disk jockey at the Catholic Church radio station in
Santa Cruz, he had a very good hear for music, and it broadcast to nearby Fort
Ord. He also lived near
https://us.oneill.com/
surf shop in Santa Cruz and being an expert gymnast, I think he knew how to
surf. Alas Key West is calm water most of the time, so there is only wind
surfing down there. Since I do not know Spanish, and I usually spoke a
lot of French in South Florida, I was frequently misunderstood by the Spanish
speaking population and those whom spoke other languages. In the winters
of 1977 and 1978, I did spend a lot of time reading in the
https://keyslibraries.org/ , and in that
period they even put my picture reading there in the Key West Citizen
newspaper. I guess when I returned their in February 1982 the last time, the few friends
that I knew that had connections there were no long there, so they found me a
bother and got rid of me very quickly never to return. Through other
Florida connections I had family in Vero Beach, Florida, and back in 1954 to
1956, my father was the assistant plant manager for the Chemstrand
Nylon plant in Pensacola, Florida which at the time was one of the larger
employers in Florida. He even had five thousand Navy wives working at the
Nylon plant. I think back then Nylon was used to make tires, and we even
once flew up to Akron, Ohio on the Chemstrand DC-3
plane and visited the Firestone family that used to make tires. When we
moved to Decatur, Alabama, I flew down a couple of times to Pensacola with my
father on the Company Plane full of Japanese associates. There was even a
bar in Pensacola called "The Driftwood", where all of the Navy pilots
frequented. Alas that experience as a youth in Pensacola did not transfer
easily to Key West and South Florida, since I am basically a Yankee having
lived up North most of my life. When I went down to Fort Lauderdale
during the Grenada Invasion in October 1983 before returning to Greenwich, they
had a large cold weather snow ski show going on at the Fort Lauderdale armory,
so I guess some people venture up North in the Winter. There are a lot of
Canadians in South Florida, since they seem to get down there first. I
once read the Jimmy Buffett was from North Dakota, and he just go down there
earlier. Ernest Hemingway even had a place Idaho. From what I know
a cheap way to get to Key West is to take the Amtrak train to Miami and
transfer to a Grey Hound Bus down there, but one probably needs money, once one
gets there; since they expect snow birds to have money. Most everyone
shopped in the Navy Commissary in Key West, so there is a lot of military down there, but they usually wear civilian clothes.
I will now go
outside again. CIO
11/29/23
Wednesday 3:40 A.M. On the Dell Optiplex 790
SFF on the living room desk with dual partitions, I activated the Windows 12
beta partition. I installed and activated Office 2021 on it. I also
installed the drivers for the Xerox color laser printer on it. I also
installed and activated Norton Internet Security Deluxe on it. Thus the Windows 12 beta partition and the Windows 10 partition are both
ready to use.

11/29/23
Wednesday 1:55 A.M. I channel surfed. Off Amazon Prime, I watched
episode 8 of, "007, Road to a Million."
When I lived
in Boston, I recall reading the complete collections of Ian Fleming's James
Bond novels, which paper backs were about the only books in my garage apartment
above my 1951 Mercedes 300 B I worked on restoring when not working at
Polaroid. I was told the son of Bill Takikaki
used my room, when he was going to Harvard Business School while I was at
www.lakeforest.edu . Since Bill Takikaki was the President of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,
maybe his son read my books and knows something about James Bond. I do
know I once read that Mitsubishi bought a country club up in Armonk, New York
nearby; so maybe the Japanese know something I have not yet been able to figure
out.
I will now go
outside and drink a brewed coffee. CIO
11/28/23
Tuesday 11:30 P.M. I watched off C Span the end of the Rosalyn Carter
memorial service. When I returned to
www.nantucket.net
in the summer of 1975, I saw a roommate from
www.lakeforest.edu
named Carter Bacon that lived next door to the Robert Kennedy family in Hyanisport, and I also met up with Jimmy Eldert whose
grandfather lived next door to Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne. At the
first of the year in 1976, I moved to Greenville, South Carolina to work as an
expeditor for Daniel Construction now a part of
www.fluor.com
. I would drive down to Atlanta on weekends and tour around. One
weekend, I heard off my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne radio that Jimmy Carter was
announcing for President, so I drove two hours south to Plains, Georgia, and I
toured around. I saw the Carters, when they showed up at the Holiday Inn
there. The following year, when I was returning from South Florida in
April 1977, I drove through Plains, Georgia and toured around, when Jimmy
Carter had become President. I guess I would have again seen the Carters again,
when I was at Ronald Reagan's first inaugural. I recall in July or August
1980, when I flew out to California, and I was flying up and down the Coast,
since I did not have a car, I sat next to a young girl on a flight that looked
like Amy Carter. In that period without communications, when one was
traveling, one would occasionally see somebody that one was supposed to
recognize, but without the internet, television, or telephone, one just
wandered what it all about. I recall in April 1977 after touring Plains,
Georgia, I drove up to Atlanta to visit my youngest sister and brother in law. We went to the Atlanta Hartsdale airport,
and we met my mother coming off an arriving flight, and about fifty military
officers in full dress uniform came off the flight before my mother showed
up. I was sort of curious what she was doing, while I was homeless that
winter in South Florida in Fort Lauderdale and Key West and lost weight from
185 pounds in Greenville, South Carolina to 125 pounds in Key West, Florida.
There was somebody down in Key West that I saw all of the time that I thought
was Jimmy Carter, but he was six feet tall not five foot ten inches. Still I thought since Jimmy Carter had served in the Navy, he might have had
a house in Key West. Alas Jimmy Eldert seemed to be the only person that
I knew in Key West that knew what was going on, when I was walking back and
forth constantly between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Rob
Glore from the
www.dupont.com family that I also
knew down there had a craft shop across from the Post Office, but he hardly
ever showed up in public. Jimmy worked at the Pier House as a bus boy,
until in April 1977, I got my six months of unemployment checks from Daniel
Construction at one time, and Rob Glore cashed the checks, and Jimmy and I
drove as far North as Jacksonville, where we visited Hurley Haywood, and I gave
Jimmy $400 to catch a flight back to the University of New Hampshire, where he
was supposed to be in school, and I drove North back to Greenwich and then up
to Nantucket, when I gave away the car to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop on
India Street. In my period that time in South Florida, I was threatened a
number of times, so I basically tried living out of my car until January 1977,
when it was towed for too many parking tickets at the swimming hall of fame,
and I recall taking a bus to Key West where I eventually met up with Jimmy
Eldert. In that period there was a major Howard Hughes presence in Fort
Lauderdale with Hughes Medical and TWA down there. In Key West, there was
a major Pan American Airlines presence, so I was going back and forth between
two different airlines.

the memorial service, I went outside again.

By my
accounting, I donated about $8,000 or more to the Ronald Reagan Campaign in
1980 along with two expensive trips to California, but they never gave me a job
when he got elected, even though I went to his first inaugural, so I guess
there was some friction from previous administrations that he did not want to
deal with me. Maybe it is just that I am a Cold Weather person, and he
was from warm California. The Northern people here know there are a lot

Monday 2:20 P.M. I went outside again. At
www.lakeforest.edu I knew George Gordon
Cary from East Aurora, New York whose father was on the board of overseers for
www.harvard.edu . When my family
lived in Boston, we knew Oie Wood whose father was
also on the Board of Overseers for Harvard and whose grandfather started the
Nantucket Yacht Club. Back in 1971, when my father was a Vice President
of Polaroid, he was also in charge of the Polaroid Foundation that gave $10 million
to the Roland Institute at Harvard. Alas those Harvard connections do not
work in Greenwich. I also knew James Paul Warburg Junior from Greenwich
who dropped out of Harvard, and whose father started the Warburg Chair of
Economics at Harvard. Amongst famous people who once went to Harvard, the
King of Sweden attended Harvard. The Aga Khan attended Harvard. The
King of Thailand was born in Cambridge when his parents were attending Harvard.
The Empress of Japan also attended Radcliff College up at Harvard.

Sunday 4:40 P.M. Back when I met John Bolton in Key West in February
1978, when I got back from Nassau in the Bahamas, where I stayed with a Prince
Charles look alike, John had $1500 cash. He did invest $400 of it with
somebody named "Stormy" that we never saw again. John and I
lived at the Casa Marina Hotel while it was under construction. We ate
simply. We would eat fresh Cuban bread and orange juice for breakfast and
for dinner we would eat pancakes for $2 each or beans and rice for $2 each.
When we went back up to
www.nantucket.net
, we lived in the back room of Mrs. Florence Frances' guest house at 31 India
Street. John worked at Cumberland Farms, and I worked at Le
Languedoc. We also worked on painting a million dollar
house on Lincoln Avenue over looking the
Harbor. About the only person that we knew was Chris Knight from Williams
College. Somebody with that name showed up as writer for Amtrak magazine
when I took the Amtrak to Philadelphia a long time ago. Chris Knight knew
the family that had a house with a green house behind
the Pacific Bank. He looked like Robert Redford. Somebody that
looked like him showed up as a Navy Aid at the Reagan Ranch years ago in Santa

are some very big people in Greenwich, but they do not hang out around the
women's stores on Greenwich Avenue. One is more likely to see them at
Home Depot in Port Chester, New York trying to do it themselves to save
money. When I built the garage apartment from April 1982 to February 1983
for Vivian West out in Plandome Manor, New York, I
already knew a little bit about construction, but I used either the Reader's
Digest book on home remodeling or the Better Homes and Garden book on
remodeling which explained the more complicated details. My family used
to know the people in Greenwich that own
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowell-Collier_Publishing_Company
, but they only show up downtown in the summer for the Greenwich Sidewalk
Sales, when they are not way out in the Middle of Nowhere on Martha's
Vineyard. I thought they produced Popular Mechanics and Popular Science,
so once again when I research it years ago, the internet was wrong. I do
know some real sneaky people in back country Greenwich whom hardly ever go
downtown in Greenwich, but being cleaver they might
know cheaper places close to back country like Banksville

Back around
the winter of 1977, I was arrested for a night in Key West, Florida; when Jimmy
Eldert, and I were walking through Faustos Grocery
store, and we started drinking a quart of Donald Duck orange juice, and I
thought he paid for it, and he thought I paid for it. At the time Jimmy
was teaching Sunday School at the Baptist Church, so they thought I was
suspicious, since when he found me when he arrived from the University of New
Hampshire that cold winter, I was sleeping underneath the annex house of St.
Luke's Episcopal church on Duval Street in Key West. I guess they did not
like me in South Florida in that period, because when I showed up there before
my car was towed at the swimming hall of fame in Fort Lauderdale, I had South
Carolina license plates on my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne from the previous six
months, when I had lived in Greenville, South Carolina working as expeditor
Daniel Construction now a part of
www.fluor.com
which once was the world's largest construction companies. Jimmy was more
popular, because his grandfather the three star
www.af.mil
general that lived next door to Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne might have also
been the person that kept the nuclear codes for President Nixon. There
was Homestead Air Force Base at the beginning of the Florida Keys, where
supposedly Air Force personnel from the DEW Line up in the Artic working for
NORAD would fly down to thaw out. At the same time the Army Corps of
Engineers were also rebuilding a 140 miles of the Florida Keys bridges into four lane highway which all of the local
people whom did not want development did not like. I guess the Unites
States Government has a way of getting its way. I was told the United
States government owned all of the waterfront property in Key West, and they
just leased it out on condition if there were military problems down there,
they would take it back for other purposes. I do know at the time Michael
Manley of Jamaica was confiscating property in Jamaica from foreigners, so
people there were returning to the States. Also at the time, they did not
seem to have a drug problem in Key West with all of the military down there,
and there were forty drug lawyers on Whitehead Street next to the Truman Annex
where Harry Truman lived when he was President, because he had a heart
condition.

Monday 11:55 A.M. When I lived out on
www.nantucket.net
, there were quite a few people from the
https://www.whoi.edu/
, and when I lived in Key West, there were people from the
https://www.fio.usf.edu/keys-marine-lab/
, but I was told by Dr. Conners here in Greenwich the dermatologist thirty
years ago to stay out of the sun until after 3 P.M. in the afternoon. I
guess fair skin people can not take too much
sun. Warmer weather is nice, but I am basically a Northern person with
lots of cold weather experience. In Manhattan, when I lived there mostly
in the winter time, I would try to visit different pubs in the winter, where it
was warmer, so warm weather people would not freeze to death, but I also spent
a lot of time walking around in very cold weather with lots of people from
further up North whom visit Manhattan during the winter time. Fred Von Mierer's apartment at 420 East 49th Street now the German
consulate was two blocks away from the
www.un.org
, but since I only have six years of high school Latin and six year of high
school French, it was Fred that had the foreign language skills and probably a
few other people that he knew. I know at the time Nelson Rockefeller was
important and since he was once in the State Department in Costa Rica, he also
spoke Spanish. Alas, nobody ever communicated with me from Manhattan
except a friend of Fred's lawyer William Polk Cary of Davis Polk Wardwell to
tell me that Fred had died whose name was Bobby Culver from Maryland.
Bobby once had me as a New Years Eve party in Greenwich Village on New Years
Eve in 1982, with a lot of his friends, but I do not know what they did.
I think most of the wealthy people in Manhattan considered me a bother, since with
their money, they were not interested in my back ground or experience. I
did used to see a lot of people moving around Manhattan mostly at night, but at
Julie Bolton's apartment at 315 West 74th Street where I last lived, nobody
ever called up or visited. Julie's boy friend
was the door man at the new Carnegie Tower on the East Side, where she lived,
and I was just left with the White German Shepard dog to walk around with and
explore some of the student pubs late at night until February 1982, when she
had me move out with no place to go when there was a wind child of minus 20
degrees below zero Fahrenheit in Manhattan. After a week with a random
stranger that lived above the small Episcopal Church on East 52nd Street where
I met a few people, I flew down to Key West with my last $100 that Julie gave
me, but I did not know anyone there except a few random people that I
met. I was shipped back up North because of a false computer report
probably base on the fact in August 1980, when I was living at Julie's former
husband's house in Port Washington, Long Island who was in the State
Department, my eight ounces of gold for traveling at $825 an ounce, $200 cash,
my Connecticut Driver's license, my Unites States State Department passport,
and my Wellesley, Massachusetts draft card was stolen by four blond guys on
motorcycles with Connecticut plates. Four police departments never solved
the case, and the United States State Department told me that they could not
track lost passports, but American Express told me that my passport was being
used in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, so it would seem what
ever government report was on my record, when I was down in Key West was
based on somebody having stolen my identity. Since Peter Bolton, Julie ex husband was in the Unites States State Department in
Libya, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia, he probably knew more and had other
government contacts like the CIA, so maybe he did not want me to travel to
Norway in August which I was planning to do. I did make it there in
February 1983, after I finished Vivian West's garage apartment, and in the
winter not too much was happening in Oslo, Norway. At the time of the
theft, Jimmy Carter's vice president was Walter Mondale whom was Norwegian
descent from Minnesota, so there were some other Norwegians around. In
Nantucket during that period somebody flew a big Norwegian flag at a nice house
in the center of the island, and in Key West, they flew a Norwegian flag at the
Atlantic Shores beach club. Also the Norway Savings Bank is now up in Maine.
I guess, since I do not speak Norwegian, they just work around me.

Sunday 2:45 A.M. Just now before I went outside, when I put a new red LED
light in the small lamp in the living room window, I did something to my left
knee in bending over, and I am now having trouble walking. I guess all of
the work that I have done in the last month and a half fixing up my apartment
has come back to haunt me.
I did move the
stack of recent magazines from the oak dining table to the small oak table in
front of the left living room closet. I also put out the little Norwegian
flag on the primary eating place on the oak dining table. The Ethan Allen
recliner weighs over 125 pounds, so it can support a heavier person being well
made, and it costs over $2,500 new today. Ethan Allen was in charge of
the Green Mountain Boys up in Vermont during the American revolution. Also the last I knew the governor of Vermont
http://governor.vermont.gov/ has the last
name Scott. I know a few Norwegians and having worked around the Stowe,
Vermont ski resort ski patrol in out on
www.nantucket.net
, I also know a few people with Vermont connections. It is a lot colder up in
Vermont than here in the Winter. In the old days of the
www.af.mil Cheyenne Mountain out in Colorado had a backup
facility in Northeast Vermont, so the United State Government which nobody pays
attention to in Greenwich, Connecticut is probably still doing something up in
the North Country, where only Rich People dare to venture up to in the
Winter. NORAD is also part of the Canadian Military, so it helps if one
can speak French to French Canadians whom are numerous North of us not to
mention all of the other cold weather people up in Canada. CIO

the old time CIA people used to hang out in Europe. Also I put the little white Wedgwood ashtray of the Charles W. Morgan tall
ship up in Mystic, Connecticut on the dark oak table on the side of the Ethan
Allen recliner. I am not allowed to smoke in my apartment, but they might
catch somebody's eye. I do not open the left living closet, it is mostly
storage for deluxe clothing and shoes and some old computer parts, but if one
needs to open it, the folding oak table can be quickly moved.

stuff out which is quite comfortable. Also the reviews say it is not very good
furniture. Also I never have guests, so it is not important.
Also during the Holiday periods, when the rich tax
payers are around, they do not encourage poor people to hang out downtown
people watching for security reasons. Many years ago, when I met somebody
from Denmark, his apartment had the Scandinavian look with a glass table desk

Saturday 7:45 A.M. When the most I have ever earned is $8.75 an hour as
the head dishwasher at Le Languedoc Restaurant out on
www.nantucket.net , until I returned to
Greenwich, Connecticut on December 13, 1983 almost forty years ago on the Aga
Khan's birthday, and the Greenwich Hospital with a $7,500 physical determined
that I am legally disabled, I tend to be very frugal and cheap. Among other
wealth people out on Nantucket, there might have been members of the Hearst
family whom are democrats, since on six trips to California, I noticed at San
Simeon, they have a Nantucket village on the Ocean side and in Malibu, they had
a Nantucket Cove restaurant. Also the Hearst family publishing empire also own the
Greenwich Time locally, so I guess they do not pay attention to anything that
is bad for Democratic Party business. However, on the fifth trip to
California when I flew, I met and was put up for a night by Otis Chandler
Junior who had forty acres of Avocado Farm in Ocean Side, California in a
Buckminster Fuller House, and at the time his family owned the Greenwich Time,
and I think they still own the Las Angeles Times Mirror along with a lot of property
in California. I guess they were sort of curious what I was doing out
there with no visible means of support, but with Ronald Reagan running for
President, there were a lot of California people showing up in New York City
and this area. On the fifth and six trips, when I was in Laguna Beach
while traveling, a man named Joel put me up for a few nights, and he was the
Head of
www.xerox.com Parc in Palo Alto,
California a high tech research firm which has headquarters in Stamford,
Connecticut. On the last trip, he even took John Bolton and myself to
lunch in Dana Point with his roommate that was the head of Camp Pendleton near
where Richard Nixon used to live at San Clemente. I guess since Bobby
Inman from Laguna Beach was Jimmy Carter's Secretary of Defense at the time,
there was something going on out there besides of lots of retired people.
They were building twin nuclear reactors at Dana Point which have since been
decommissioned, and Jimmy Carter was a Nuclear Engineer that had learned
Nuclear Physics under Admiral Hyman Rickover while at the Naval Academy.
Admiral Rickover lived in Key West and ran the entire United States Navy until
1982, but I did not know that when I was down there in Key West, and I was told
he was in retirement.
I will now go

11/18/23
Saturday 6:50 A.M. As far as I know, the only Federal Agent that has ever
been in my current apartment in 34 years is Larry Burger who was an
www.fbi.gov agent at Two Federal Plaza in Manhattan, when he
bought my 1993 Buick Wagon from me. He lived in New Rochelle, New York
which also has Federal buildings too, and he liked the boat hitch on the back
on the Buick wagon. He was driving about a twenty year old
www.ford.com Country Squire Wagon which was all rusted out,
so the United States Government although it has a lot of people working for it,
is basically pretty cheap. Also about four years ago in January, I chatted with
Jim Comey the former head of the FBI in front of the Senior and the Arts Center
who was driving a big black
www.gmc.com
, and he told me like my father ordered me, to stay in Greenwich for the rest
of my life. I guess being a Bush and Trump neighbor over the years, the
FBI has tried to keep an eye on me, which does not make much sense to me, since
I lead a very private reclusive life, except for a few friends and relatives
whom are zooming all over the world and this area all of the time.
Possibly since when we were at Polaroid and got bomb threats, when Dr. Land was
Richard Nixon's science advisor, they started keeping an eye on our
family. Also a diseased in-law used to be the assistant district attorney in Tulsa,
Oklahoma; so he had major political connections which I do not have. One
friend whom I have not seen in a while was a licensed race horse investigator
for NYRA living at W. Averill Harriman's sister' estate in Sands Point, Long
Island, and he now lives ten minutes away from current President Joe Biden, and
he also knows Admiral Halsey's son at that location who hauls around race
horses. Race horses are very valuable, so they get extra security, which
I do not get. Also my race horse friend had a grandfather who was the
last living member of Queen Victoria's Honor Guard living in Gladstone, New
Jersey, near where Jackie Onassis lived and Donald Trump's Country Club and the
Forbes family. He was also President of the Illinois Central Railroad
that my Grandfather Scott worked for sixty years for. However, with so
much new government printed new money, the President of Engelhard Gold and
Mineral also lives in Gladstone, New Jersey; so if one has a safe place to keep it like the Bank
of England, Gold might be a better investment than high tech hype.
I will now go

11/18/23
Saturday 6:00 A.M. This is my like new Ethan Allen recliner that I got at
the Greenwich Hospital Thrift charity shop for $75 about ten years ago
https://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/shop-furniture-living-room-recliners/graham-recliner/217904.html#start=1
, so I do not feel like getting rid of it. I have had sofa in my
apartment before, but they were only used by a lazy rich friend who was goofing
off the job to take cat naps, when he should have been working. Alas, I
do not watch the business news all of the time, since I do not have any money
to speak of. Much could be said of that expression that I said
before. For Every Church in Greenwich, there is also a Bank in Manhattan
as if anyone has forgotten. When I knew Fred Von Mierers,
he told me Helen Kress Williams used to chose the
head of J.P. Morgan Bank, and Fred actually decorated the then President of
J.P. Morgan Herb Patterson's office. Alas, since
www.chase.com merged with J.P. Morgan, maybe the Rockefeller
might have an interest in it, and Helen Kress William's neighbor in Oyster Bay,
Long Island besides the Teddy Roosevelt family was the Rockefeller Brother's
sister Abby Rockefeller O'Neil. I think all of these rich families
instead of trying to push other people around with their money should try
family counseling to figure out what their families are really doing instead of
thinking they know it all from the Boob Tube and probably the Internet.
So much for my view point. The Town Motto of Greenwich, Connecticut is,
"Frugality and Fortune," not to spend like a Drunken Sailor. Also when I was around Greenwich Village, a lot of the students besides New
York University were from the Parson's School of Design near the
www.forbes.com building. Being of Scottish origins,
the Forbes are probably basically cheap like other Scottish people. The
Citizen's Bank in Greenwich is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland which is a
United Kingdom government operation. I once read about another Scottish
Bank, called the, "Scottish Widows and Orphans Bank." Also from
my Economic Research, besides banks, Insurance Companies also happen to have a
lot of money. The former chairman of the Greenwich Hospital Richard Shinn
used to be the head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company which has a
major presence on lower Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and I think they also own
the former Pan Am building on the north side of Grand Central Station.
They probably own a few other things with their assets too.

Thanksgiving week or maybe the Army of the South is heading down South for the
winter after the hurricane season is almost over. Robert E. Lee's great
grandson who went to West Point used to live in Greenwich, and then he retired
to Coral Gables, Florida and then to Houston, Texas; where he passed
away. He was supposed to be my tropical weather expert down South, but I
never heard from him after he moved away. A Scott family relative that
Scott Circle is named after in Washington D.C. also beside many military
activities in the early days of America also was involved in starting West
Point, and is buried there. His portrait looks a bit like my
father. Apparently when his father arrived in America in 1726 from
Scotland, he was looking for his brother, which probably was my relative whom
arrived at the same time. My relative went to Western Pennsylvania, and
Windfield Scott's father married into the wealthy Windfield family of
Virginia. A bit of history for those whom think my family just arrived
off the boat. Also my Grandfather Scott the 33rd degree Scottish Rite
Mason was married to my Grandmother who was from the Gard family that were
original settlers in York, Maine around 1640. Thus out there in the wood work, I might still have relatives floating
around America. My mother's Dutch family were in the original settlers in
Holland, Michigan in 1842. My maternal Grandmother on my mother's family
was related to the Van Vylevelt family in the
Netherlands which is the correct pronunciation of Vanderbilt that once were an
established family in America. If one is driving down South, one can take
a pit stop at
www.biltmore.com near Ashville,
North Carolina. CIO

Friday 2:20 A.M. I put a whole wheat pita bread on a dinner plate.
I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated
six slices of deli roast beef with three slices of deli Norwegian Jarlsberg
cheese, and I folded one side over the other. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of

the cheese is a lot thicker, so basically it is a cheese sandwich.

remodeling my apartment mostly on floor coverings, shower curtain, kitchen sink
drain rack, and Draino drain cleaner and another $140
for the new Apple Iphone 6 S Plus cell phone plus
another $75 in toner cartridges and cordless telephone parts and a lot of my
State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps, so I had more food to eat better and have

Thursday 5:10 A.M. I moved the small white throw rug from the apartment
entrance to underneath and exposed by the orange and black runner rug in the
hallway by the sweater closet. I then vacuumed the exposed area of the
old blue wool carpet in front of the living room closets and leading to the
primary computer chair area. I happened to have a new can of
www.cvs.com rug cleaner, so I sprayed that exposed area with
the CVS rug cleaner. I then went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee
outside for a half hour while the carpet dried. I then used my trusty
www.hoover.com to vacuum the area where I sprayed the rug
cleaner on it. Now it looks nice and clean for when I put the new ten foot red runner carpet on it. Believe it or not,
my father when he was with Chemstrand a division of
www.monsanto.com produced a lot of Nylon
and Acrilan which he helped invent from 1954 to 1968,
when we graduated to Polaroid. That is what brought us to Greenwich in
June 1962, and as I recall Monsanto has a forty story
building with W.R. Grace and Company on the north side of the New York City
library on West 42nd Street. Acrilan was used to make
carpet and other materials, and I still have a Acrilan
carpet in my bedroom. Alas, from what I know the textile business has
mostly moved out of this country to Asia particularly in the Southeastern
United States. In its day a square yard of Acrilan
carpet cost a hundred dollars a square yard, but it shedded,
so Electrolux vacuum cleaners from Old Greenwich, Connecticut were important.

Vanderbilt's adopt a dog tag sale up on Lake Avenue, when I first moved in here
34 years ago for $40 which had been cleaned by Shaffer rug cleaner and was
donated by Burt Parks, it will be covered up by the ten foot runner which is
mostly cranberry red. I do not know where to put the nice small white

Thursday 2:35 A.M. I woke up at 2 A.M., and I went outside, and I drank a

apartment. They are the four foot tall
miniature palms that were six inches tall, when I bought them for a dollar each
at the old A&P, when I lived at 700 Steamboat Road over 35 years ago.
They were originally discovered on a small island off of New Zealand by British
Explorers. They were such a favorite of Queen Victoria, that she had two
full size ones on either side of casket, when she rested in State. The
British as a sea faring nation did explore most of the world. Also at the Stop and Shop frozen Butterball turkeys like the 450 pound man
bought the other night are only $1.49 a pound. I guess some places in the

Tuesday 3:00 A.M. In the Royal Navy, the sailors are allowed to have
their "Rum Ration" on the King's Birthday.
I put a whole
wheat pita bread on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with
Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated six slices of deli roast beef
with three slices of deli Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese, and I folded one side
over the other. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of
www.coke.com Zero Sugar and four ounces of red potato
salad. The slices of deli roast beef I am using are paper thin, but the
cheese is a lot thicker, so basically it is a cheese sandwich.
I will now
rest a bit. CIO

Tuesday 2:20 A.M. Iceland Volcano
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67402198
. Back in February 1975, when I moved Helen Kress Williams from Oyster
Bay to Locust Valley, Long Island; I chatted with her a bit. She mentioned that
when Krakatoa Volcano erupted in 1882, there was a fifteen foot snow fall in New York City. She also
mentioned that Rose Kennedy told her the Irish Potato famine was caused by the
volcanoes in Iceland. Since in Oyster Bay, she lived on a 40 acre waterfront estate next to Teddy Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill, and knew
Alice Roosevelt and was head trustee of Vassar College, I guess she knew a
little bit about natural history, since Teddy Roosevelt was involved in
starting the Natural History Museum, and a friend's Osborne family helped
finance it. Man whom does not read history is bound to repeat
himself. CIO

Monday 11:05 P.M. I rested until 10 P.M.. I went
outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. My version of the New Amsterdam
Night Watch and the Scottish Black Watch is fully operational, but alas nobody
in the Eastern Hemisphere knows how to communicate with me when I am awake all
night. I have made five trips to Europe for nine months total including
the last trip in February 1992 to Paris, Amsterdam, and Albertville, France for
the Winter Olympics with a side trip to Geneva, Switzerland; so I
guess after that last trip, they lost interest in me, since I do not speak
French fast enough for them to understand me. I try to network with a few
visitors here, but alas since I do not have too much travel experience in the
last forty years after returning from a life of seclusion out on
www.nantucket.net for five years, when I
was not traveling. I guess there is a new generation whom have taken over
whatever it was I used to try to do by advertising Greenwich, Connecticut world wide. We are actually a fairly small town, but
people seem to like the ambience of our many coffee shops on Greenwich
Avenue. For late night coffee, the Mobil Station across the street from
me on West Putnam Avenue has a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts coffee shop, and the Shell
station at 401 West Putnam Avenue has coffee to go, and about five miles east
of me, there is a 24 hour
www.mcdonalds.com
on East Putnam Avenue by the Riverside shopping center by exit 5 on Interstate
I-95 known as the Connecticut Thruway. Also if one has an electric car, the Hyatt Hotel in Old
Greenwich has charging station, and by me at the 24 hour
www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue, they have charging
stations at their lower level parking lot inside. I think the Greenwich
Town Hall also has charging stations. I do not know anything about the
surrounding areas, since I do not travel too far anymore. In Geneva, I
had an expensive breakfast at McDonalds, I toured the Rolex Watch shop, the
Chemise La Coste shop, a gun store, and I tried to visit a discothčque, but it
was not buy early in the evening, and I wandered around Geneva taking
pictures. They had a chess game set up with bit chess pieces in the
central park there. There is an eight lane highway going
from France to Geneva, so I guess a lot of French visit there. The
international symbol on an oval sticker on a car for Switzerland is
"CH". On the last trip to Europe in 1992, gasoline was over $10
a gallon, so a lot of people walk there. CIO

the living room. It includes some software boxes, toner cartridges,
wireless routers, Samsung external 5 GB hard drive, and computer parts. I
also found the manila envelope with the Microsoft Office 2007 CDs, which I put

it works just fine. It is configured with Microsoft Office 2019 and
Norton Internet Security 360 plus all of the other Apple programs. Maybe
having done that the Apple store on Greenwich Avenue, when it is opened this
winter will let me wander through the place to warm up a bit. I know in
the Amazon Brit Box documentary on the British Government Agency MI 5, they
liked using Apple devices for monitoring the world. Back when I first
published my downloadable internet directory, it was posted at the web site for

I put the boxes containing clamp binders and manila envelopes underneath the LG

there is a clear line of sight for its remote control and unobstructed

I threw out
most of the utensils from the cieling hanging rack in

rack. I then used my little folding cart from the back of the car, and I
removed the two speakers from the right hallway bookcase, and I threw them
out. I installed two more shelves where the speakers were, so that area
now has three shelves. From the two bathroom bookcases, I put a Himalayan
salt lamp on the bedroom desk. I moved the bumble bee lamp underneath the
center living room window on the left side of the Queen Anne chair for reading
light. I removed the television from the bathroom bookcase. I threw
out the Google and Amazon dots. I threw out about three fourths of the
contents of the two bookcase in the three big Hefty heavy duty brown leaf bags,
and I put the rest of the contents on the new space on the right hallway
bookcase. I threw out the two bookcases. I removed the Ocean
Digital Internet Radio from underneath the Vizio television in the bedroom, and
I store it on the top sweater closet shelf. I moved from the Cablevision
box from the small white table in front of the Vizio TV, and I put it
underneath the Vizio television. From the same little white table, I
stored the two jump start systems from the lower shelf, and I moved them to the
floor of the sweater closet in the hallway. I threw out the little white
table. I removed a number of TV cables. I then moved the 24 inch Insignia Smart TV to on top of the Ocean Digital Internet Radio
Amplifier on top of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom with the sound bar
beneath it. Thus the bathroom is more spacious, and there is more
room at the foot of the bed in the bedroom. I also moved the little RCA
cordless telephone from the bathroom to the left hallway bookcase. I have
said to before, but one works hard, when one is hungry.
