Scott's Previous Random Notes, Remote server http://scott-mike.com/scottpre.htm 

09/28/23 Thursday 12:35 A.M.  As I recall the first time I recall going to www.nantucket.net was either the summer of 1968 or 1969, when my family first moved to the Boston area, and my father was the vice president of manufacturing at Polaroid, when Polaroid was a prosperous company in the Boston area.  I recall wandering around downtown Nantucket and swimming at the Jetties beach, and I was all salty and grubby.  I am not sure if that is the time I met up with my Lake Forest College and Taft School classmate from Princeton, New Jersey or not, but I recall sleeping on the floor of a one bedroom apartment on Orange Street with a number of other young people from Greenwich.  George Witbold who was a classmate at Greenwich Country Day had the apartment.  I was told while at Greenwich Country Day, George's father owned the florist at the Waldorf Astoria, so they could afford to live in Greenwich.  A lot of Greenwich people have businesses in Manhattan to keep the country going.  CIO 

09/28/23 Thursday 11:25 A.M.  I went to my 9:30 appointment at the Greenwich Hospital.  The doctor told me, the iron pill would make my condition worse.  So much for self medication.  We also chatted with my social worker on speaker phone about my housing eviction.  My social worker is going to visit me tomorrow to give me tips on improving my apartment.  I then went downtown to the Senior and the Arts Center.  I sat outside for a half hour and paid 75 cents to park there.  I used the bathroom there.  I then returned home, and I sat outside.  I left a telephone message at the Greenwich Housing Authority with our building supervisor.

I will now go outside again and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/28/23 Thursday 8:10 A.M.  I changed my appointment to 9:30 A.M..  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

09/28/23 Thursday 7:15 A.M.  I chatted with a friend.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/28/23 Thursday 6:25 A.M.  Not much happening here on a night schedule, but I do have an important 2 P.M. appointment today.  I think better on a night schedule based on my experiences versus the day time people whom are usually doing ordinary errands in this neck of the woods.  When I first returned to www.nantucket.net in the summer of 1975, I only knew Sandy Carlson, Jim Eldert, and Fred Von Mierers there; but I met up with my room mate from www.lakeforest.edu Carter Bacon from Hyanisport and his friend Priss Watts from Marblehead, Massachusetts whose step father was the Chairman of Lipton Tea and whose boat number was MS 7.  On previous trips to Nantucket starting in the summer of 1968, my family were friends of the Wood family from Dedham that started the Nantucket Yacht Club and whose father was on the Board of Overseers for www.harvard.edu , and as I recall on my first trip, I met up with another www.lakeforest.edu classmate Guy Erdman from Princeton, New Jersey, and possibly on the third trip in that period, I went with a friend whose father was the station manager for the British Overseas Airline Corporation in Boston.  In the dishwashing years there I would frequently see Henry Cabot Lodge Junior at the Dory restaurant for breakfast, and he was Richard Nixon's ambassador to Viet Nam.  At the time when Polaroid was a prosperous company in the Boston area, they probably had a lot very good lawyers in the area.  When I graduated from Lake Forest College, I had a job interview at First Boston to be a trust officer for a horse shoe stable in Springfield, Massachusetts, and it turned out that horse shoe stable became www.gm.com .  Having had that interview, I have met a lot of members of founding families of General Motors, and even the Durant theatre at Lake Forest College was named after the first president of General Motors.  On a minor note with the auto workers strike going on, my economics advisor at Lake Forest College also used to work for the auto union representing them in labor negotiations.  Also General Motors has the largest law firm in the United States of America in Chicago with about six thousand lawyers.  My father's first wife's family the Coon family that owned General Finance Company paid to start the Northwestern University Law School too.  Of course with members of the www.ford.com family living in Greenwich, they probably already know this as do the members of the Dodge family in Greenwich too.  Of course it takes one of my friend's family's railroad to move a lot of stuff back east which is not made here on the East Coast.  General Motors used to have a factory in Tarrytown, New York; which is why people used to be more friendly here.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

09/28/23 Thursday 5:45 A.M.  Three hungry deer just walked by looking for more apples.  This time of year up in North Salem, New York; there is the Height family farm with lots of fresh produce near that hamburger place http://www.theblazerpub.com/ near the Sons of Oslo lodge up in North Salem, New York.  My only friend in the area used to live there until he became interested in the waterfront.  The young girl who used to think I was a Secret Service at the Metropolitan Museum of Art across from where she lived also lives there.  A few other deja vue people also live up there where President Grant also lived.  Alas knowing history makes me more cautious than younger people might be still getting their education.  A distant relative John Jay used to live in Bedford, New York; and his family's property was once the Scott family property in Manhattan.  In covering the Steamboat Road pier for 40 years, I used to chat with a Federal Judge from Bedford, New York with a NRA sticker on his car, and another guy with dark sun glasses who liked Elk hunting out west.  However, that waterfront property got so expensive near another local judge that lived down there, I guess people do not want to venture into back country any more, and prefer to walk around downtown and be near the Metro North train station.  Since all of the local established people like to stay private, it is only the younger people who seem to venture on the internet and know their way around.  Since I took typing at Eastern Middle school in the summer, when I was 15 years old sitting next to a Greenwich Country Day school classmate Mike Morano on an www.ibm.com Selectric, I know he also knows how to type to.  However, with lawyers they are always trying to make money, which does not help for disabled people with little or no funds.

09/27/23 Wednesday 6:20 P.M.  I woke up at 4 P.M..  I made my bed.  I went outside.  I picked up the mail.  I got a letter from the Greenwich Housing Authority, and they want to terminate my lease by October 23, 2023.  I have three days to contest that letter, so I email the head of our building that I want to contest it.  I chatted with two relatives twice, and I sent copies of the letter to my relatives and social worker.  I gave a copy to a neighbor.  I went outside again.  I will eat a bowl of Mueslix with almond milk with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and a glass of spring water with some  cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk and vitamins and supplements.  CIO

I will now go outside again and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 10:55 P.M.  On the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet on the first Dell 17.3 inch laptop with an earlier Windows 12 Canary beta rufus, I shrank the SSD drive, so the first one is 60 GB and there was 60 GB free space.  I then installed the latest beta of Windows 12 Canary beta rufus on a second partition.  I now have to configure it.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 9:55 P.M.  I ordered two 15 ounce Wish Bone light creamy Caesar salad dressing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZH04UZ?ie=UTF8&_encoding=UTF8&tag=bensbargaicenter&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325&th=1 for $2.32 each for $4.64 off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps card.

09/26/23 Tuesday 8:55 P.M.  I drank my coffee outside.  I washed my breakfast dishes.  A neighbor gave me $10 to take him to Belmore Liquors, Putnam Shell, and then the Subway sandwich shop.  I then went to the CFCF coffee shop on Greenwich Avenue and used the bathroom.  I sat out in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park.  I toured www.cvs.com .  I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought two 48 ounce diet Ocean Spray cranberry juice for $3.49 each, two 12.3 ounce Marie Callendar sesame chicken bowls for $3 each, and a 48 ounce Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk for $3.99 for $17.07 total.  I then returned home.  I put away my groceries.  I put the grey bag back in the car.  I drank a brewed coffee outside.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 4:30 A.M.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will eat a yogurt.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 4:05 A.M.  Not much happening.  The two HP 17 inch Elitebook laptops with the Windows Canary beta have 120 GB SSD drives, so it is possible one of them could have their SSD drive shrunk to hold the new Canary beta, but that is not really important.  I think one of the Dell Latitude E 6400 or E 6410 laptops could have their hard drive shrunk to hold the new beta, but once again that is not important.  The two Dell 17 inch laptops have 120 SSD drives, so they could have their SSD drives shrunk for the newest beta, but once again that is not necessary.  The beta needs 60 GB of hard drive space. 

Nobody communicates with me bothering them with my computer activity, and as far as I can tell nobody looks at my two web sites, so I just keep busy as best as I can afford.  I also have a bit of time available, when I am not sleeping 12 to 14 hours a day which as a disable person is necessary for me. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO 

09/26/23 Tuesday 3:35 A.M.  I practiced talking slower Midwestern English.  I went outside again.  CIO

!!!!!! 09/26/23 Tuesday 2:35 A.M.  On Beta Testing the newest Windows betas on older machines, one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows 11 beta 25931 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?rfs=1 , and I used this procedure for Windows 11 on an older PC, Windows 11 Rufus installed from USB Pen Drive  I made a Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive with this method this https://rufus.ie/en/ to created a Windows 11 bootable USB pen drive for it to upgrade https://www.elevenforum.com/t/create-bootable-windows-11-iso-without-tpm-secure-boot-and-ram-requirements.1891/ I formatted the over 8 GB USB pen drive in NTFS, and I set Rufus to "MBR" selected and the second and third advanced options selected, also select options no TPM/no Secure boot.  The different language versions of the Windows 11 *.iso download are here https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 thus for example if one wanted Windows 11 Professional in French download the *.iso file and make the Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive the same way.  Once again the Complete PC backup does not work, but Aomei backup does work. Microsoft does not pay its beta tester minions, but one learns a bit about their operating systems for free.  Also on the beta disk manager does not work, unless one uses this way run a CMD prompt as Administrator, and run, "compmgmt.msc" .  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 2:25 A.M.  I rested a bit.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  A noisy military helicopter flew over at 2:11 A.M. heading North by Northeast.  Maybe they are pulling secret maneuvers at the Greenwich Country Club.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 1:10 A.M.  I am about to eat a 16 ounce Hungry Man Salisbury steak meal with Smart Balance spread on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  CIO

09/26/23 Tuesday 12:40 A.M.  The Windows Canary beta machine is all setup.  It is more colorful.  Also Android for Amazon works on it for installing Amazon apps.  One can not do an Aomei backup of a dual boot machine.  I put www.openoffice.org on it.  I did not install the Xerox Color laser printer drivers.  It also has a lot more Microsoft apps.

I will now go outside again. 

09/25/23 Monday 11:00 P.M.  On the upper Dell Optiplex 790 SFF factor on the right side of the primary work computer on the desk with the Canary beta, I shrank the partition, and I installed the latest Canary beta that works.  It is more colorful with lots of bamboo like it is out of China.  I will configure it shortly.  Its OS is activated.  I will not put Office 2021 on it, since it is just a beta which will be changed with future Canary betas.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

Having been around Microsoft since I used to test DOS 3 off the used computers at the used computer store on Grigg Street here in Greenwich, I am a bit familiar with the Microsoft operating systems.  However, actually the first copy of a Microsoft product that I actually  bought was at the Egghead software store in Old Greenwich, when www.ibm.com came out with OS/2 which included Windows 3.0 for a $100.  I threw that copy away years ago.  However, in the old days, when I drove over to the Egghead Software store in Rockland County across the Hudson River with Roger Schultz who weighed over 600 pounds, for $5 I bought a Graphical User Interface for DOS 3.0 which predated Windows 3.0.  Alas how times have changed in the personal computer business, when every one locally seems to like to use the Apple Iphones starting at $800.  Roger Schultz gave me a copy of Word Perfect, which I could not afford to buy.  Back in those days, he was networking on the internet with someone from Vermont.  He lived across the street from my father's old company Asea Brown Boveri, so he might know a bit about computers after all of these years.  He was a friend of Nancy Carnegie Rockefeller's and his family attended Christ Church here in Greenwich.  CIO

09/25/23 Monday 8:45 P.M.  A www.lakeforest.edu classmate visited this place https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpublications/Splendid_Legacy_The_Havemeyer_Collection recently with his family, so I guess the Big Apple is still getting tourists.  I was told by a friend that recently rested at the www.yale.edu Club in Manhattan that the Roosevelt Hotel with all of the illegal aliens is nearby it, all of which is next to Grand Central Terminal, so I guess if they have the money, the illegal aliens can come out here and visit on Metro North.

!!!!!! I got a letter from the Union Church in North Tarrytown, New York today.  They say a third of the people in nearby Westchester County, New York can not afford enough food, so they are asking for money for the Sleepy Hallow, New York Food Pantry https://www.communityfoodpantryshtt.org/ .   I once visited that Episcopal Church in Tarrytown, New York for a tag sale, and I bought the complete collection of Washington Irving's books, which I gave to Scott Nelson in Irvington, New York.  Scott Nelson was a waiter at the Chart House in Dobb's Ferry, and his family owned a gourmet meat company in Minnesota.  He did catering at the Rockefeller estate in North Tarrytown, New York.  He lived about the  bakery in Irvington, New York near the Hudson River, and being above a bakery, he had plenty of heat in the winter.  Years later, he shows up at the Guild Society parties in South Hampton, Long Island, New York with Olive Watson the daughter of Tom Watson of www.ibm.com .  CIO

09/24/23 Sunday 11:55 P.M.  On my 2005 Volvo XC 70, the wireless key fob works, but the driver's side key does not work.  I tried a few tricks including replacing the fuse for it and spraying WD 40 into the lock and reprogramming the wireless key fob, but that did not fix the problem.

That is about the only problem with the car, so one of these days, I will have to take it to get repaired.

Just to have, I ordered blade type car fuses https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BP7RLV49/?_encoding=UTF8&amp=undefined&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=d2bd01590ccda481faccc13b0c0b96d5&hsa_cr_id=0&qid=1695613343&sr=1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img&pd_rd_w=tobgN&content-id=amzn1.sym.cd95889f-432f-43a7-8ec8-833616493f4a%3Aamzn1.sym.cd95889f-432f-43a7-8ec8-833616493f4a&pf_rd_p=cd95889f-432f-43a7-8ec8-833616493f4a&pf_rd_r=G9Q78RYARH6M8ZH6VCH1&pd_rd_wg=JizEG&pd_rd_r=8087fb03-c976-492c-9e52-6b98d0bff93a&th=1 for $9.89 and .63 tax for $10.52 total.

!!!!!! 09/21/23 Thursday 3:40 P.M.  On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF on the left side of the primary work computer, the latest one, I used this method to shrink the partition run a CMD prompt as Administrator, and run, "compmgmt.msc" .  I then shrank the drive to 90 GB unused free space.  I then created an unused partition off the free space.  The Linux Aomei restore CD would not work to restore my Aomei backup, so I made an Aomei Windows USB restore which worked.  I then restored my Aomei backup to the new unused partition, which changed the partition letters.  When I rebooted, the restored partition came up.  To activate the original partition as an Administrator, I ran the CMD prompt.  I then typed "bcdboot f:/windows" where is f: is the location of the original partition hard drive.  Now the computer boots both identical partitions, both of which are all activated since it is the same machine.

09/19/23 Tuesday 3:25 P.M.  I rested a bit.  I went outside.  The two winters I was homeless in South Florida, I only ate a peanut butter sandwich once a day and a orange and coffee, and occasionally a yogurt, when I could afford a quarter cash.  Down in Key West in the winter of 1977, when I went to the Salvation Army, they only gave me a can of corn.  Down in Key West in the Winter of 1978, the friend that I met, when he offered me a Marlboro had $1,500 cash, so I hung around him and his family for five years.  In Key West during the Winter of 1978, we ate Cuban bread and orange juice for breakfast and for dinner for about two dollars each we ate beans and rice and a little Cuban restaurant or pancakes at another place.  When we went back to Nantucket, we had jobs, so we survived better.  Down in Florida, they do not give jobs to people from up North, whom they call Snow Birds.

As a matter of note, as far as I know, the last pay phone in Greenwich, Connecticut is in the lobby of the Greenwich Hospital opposite the main entrance elevators, and I think it is a dollar in quarters for three minutes any where in the world.

09/16/23 Saturday 9:15 P.M.  I went outside.  I channel surfed.  When nobody communicates with one, I guess it safe for one to consider themselves over the hill so to speak.  Alas I can keep typing or blowing for whatever it is worth.  I do have a bit of experience reading books, before I started working with personal computers in 1989.  Alas, the New York Times Literary group in Greenwich seem to think they know it all, but I am not sure how much real world experience they actually have outside of this area.  My experience with five trips to Europe totaling almost a year's time is that one spends a lot of time walking around various European cities looking at the historical architecture in the older parts of the cities.  However, they do have newer high rise parts in the surrounding areas and suburbs too.  Since few people network with me out here in the suburbs, I guess they are focused on their own real world experiences from what they seem to know.  I am sure a lot of my neighbors out here have New York City experience or have lived there.  With the nearby Westchester County airport, there are quite a few people that travel in and out of this area from other areas.  I even once flew from Westchester airport with a stop in Chicago and on to John Wayne airport near Laguna Beach, California.  I first flew into this area around the winter of 1962 on Mohawk Airways to interview at Greenwich Country Day School, and that June we moved here from Decatur, Alabama.  Thus I have been around here for almost sixty years or most of my life.  However, the younger generation here with the internet have different real world experiences.  Remember, if one is younger and has a bit of money, it is easier to travel than when one is older and out of shape to do a lot of walking.

I think my medical disorder of https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Schizoaffective-Disorder might have been caused, the night in December 1980, I took a walk through Central Park to the Waldorf Astoria, and showed the white German Shepard to the secret service at the Waldorf covering Ronald Reagan, when he first showed up in Manhattan after getting elected.  When I walked back through Central Park, the White German Shepard walked me down West 71st Street, and that was just after John Lennon had been shot at West 72nd Street and Central Park West at his Dakota apartment building.  Also the winters of 1976 through 1977 and 1977 through 1978, when I was homeless in South Florida might have lead to it also.  Also at the same time that John Lennon was shot, I read in the daily news that somebody that I knew that looked like me named Chris Bonner whose father was a pilot with Pan Am that Fred Von Mierers introduced me to in 1973 was shot dead on Third Avenue.  Also two months after the Reagan inaugural which I attended, I flew back down to Washington D.C., and I flew back on the Eastern Flight, and Ed Meece the new attorney general was sitting next to me, and he told me, if I did not get out of the West Village and the Chelsea area of Manhattan, I was going to end up on a meat hook.  At the time I was told by lots of people that I looked like the ABC News announcer Peter Jennings.  I lived about ten blocks from the ABC news building on the West Side.  Also when I was homeless in Florida, I had to deal with two million alligators, fifty thousand crocodiles, Florida grey panthers, and coral snakes.  Also my family knew the Heissinga family in the summers in Holland, Michigan; and Wayne Heissinga was the first billionaire in Florida with www.wm.com , so he was in competition with the local garbage people down there.  Also being a neighbor of the Bushs in Greenwich and Kennebunkport and the Trumps in Greenwich made me a bit leery about what might around here.  All of these events made me a bit scared, which is one reason I liked www.nantucket.net where I had www.af.mil security.  Also, once when I was parking on Beekman Place in the winter of 1975, about eight men came out of a town house spraying machine guns in the air, and there was no police presence that responded.  Also back around July 3, 1990; I chatted with somebody from Bermuda for a couple of hours at a Manhattan pub, and when we offered him a ride, he mugged us with a fifteen inch gravity knife.  In the conversation, he was familiar with Greenwich, Connecticut.  Also when I attended the Reagan inaugural in January 1981, I was standing in front of the FBI building, when Reagan paraded by after being sworn in, and there was a flash from a building roof like sniper fire.  Another time around 1990 on the third week of May, I was fired at by a sniper at the Tod's Point Beach in the southwest picnic area, when I was just bird watching.  Plus in the old days of aviation before I moved to Greenwich and when I was in college in Illinois, we had a lot of rough flights.  I also had two automobile wrecks in Greenwich.  A number of random events like being caught in a rip tide on the south shore of Nantucket in October 1977 can make one overly cautious for better or worse.  I also avoid the busy highways in this area.  Also knowing Jimmy Eldert who was the godson of E. Howard Hunt of the CIA, I probably had some people pulling dirty tricks on me.  Also knowing the nephew of W. Averill Harriaman's sister, I was probably around some Democrats with a different agenda.  CIO

09/15/23 Friday 2:30 A.M.  Back from December 1980 to February 1982, when I had to move out when it was a minus 26 degree Fahrenheit wind chill factor in Manhattan, when I was living at Julie Bolton's apartment at 315 West 74th Street, there was not too much food.  Once a day, I used to go to Gristedes on West 72nd Street and get a roast beef sandwich with mayo on a Kaiser roll for $2.79, when I could afford it.  I once ate at the 24 hour McDonalds  behind Lincoln Center, but the hamburger was over cooked and dry.  When I covered Uncle Charlie's on Greenwich Street in the west Greenwich Village, sometimes on the corner of Charles Street, there was a little 24 hour restaurant, where on could get Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine with toasted English Muffin with butter and a cup of coffee for about $2 and a quarter tip.  On West Christopher Street, there was David's Pot Belly, where there were all sorts of omelets with toasted English muffins for about $4 and a fifty cent tip.  In the days from October 1973 to February 1975 in the west Greenwich Village, there was the Pink Tea Cup, where a two egg breakfast with bacon and toast and coffee was about $2.  Balducci's was in the neighborhood at 7th Avenue and about Ninth Street, but a big red apple was expensive at a dollar.  Nearby across the street on Seventh Avenue was Ray's famous pizza, where a slice was 59 cents.  I could never afford to eat at Nathan's at Seventh Avenue and Eighth Street.  However, once could get a hamburger at Julius for $2 near the Ninth Circle.  An expensive meal at Seventh Avenue and around Seventh Street at the Buffalo Road House or at Seventh Avenue and 9th Street at the Rivera Cafe was a blue cheese hamburger for about $4.  Just north of the Rivera Cafe on West Ninth Street, there was a vegetarian restaurant, where a sandwich was about $4.  The best deal was on University Place just north of East 13th Street, where a souvlaki was a $1.29.  If I was around the expensive upper East Side on East 86th Street between Madison and Third Avenue, where a roast beef sandwich with mayo on a Kaiser roll was about $4.  There was a Hungarian restaurant on Second Avenue just south of 86th Street, where Hungarian goulash was about $2.  One of my favorite expensive restaurants was at East 66th Street and Third Avenue, where fish and chips at Arthur Treacher's was about $4.  At www.rockefeller.edu  on East 65th Street and York Avenue, there was a cafeteria, where an apple and a Dannon yogurt and a 8 ounce container of milk was about $2, so I guess the do not pay the Nobel Laureates there too much.  At 49th Street and Second Avenue on the southeast corner was a bakery that had fresh croissants from Paris, France flown in on the Concorde for about 59 cents.  At 50th Street and Second Avenue on the east side was the Thieve's deli where a liverwurst sandwich was about $2.  On the lower level of the new Citibank Building on Third Avenue and about 52nd Street, there was a cafe and nice bathroom, where a croissant and coffee was about $2.  For the large population in Manhattan, they do not have too many inexpensive grocery stores.  Also east of Washington Square, there was the Bagel on Christopher Street, where bacon and two eggs and toasted English muffin with butter and coffee was $2 and a quarter tip.  When I was around Fred Von Mierers' apartment at 420 East 49th Street from October 1973 to February 1975, about once a month, he would take a few of us to the Isle of Capri at 59th Street and Third Avenue for Fettuccini Alfredo and a glass of white wine for about $10 and $2 tip.  By my Greenwich, Connecticut standards, Fred seemed to have a lot of money.  At First Avenue and 50th Street, there was a Greek coffee shop, where two eggs, bacon, English muffin with money, and coffee was $2 and a fifty cent tip, and one could sit there and read the New York Time, which cost about 35 cents.  I never ventured onto United Nations Property, because it looked very expensive.  I did once go with Julie Bolton to a Piano Bar in the Lobby of the Hyatt Hotel on the East Side of the United Nations, and they played 1950s music, and once could see everyone else in the place through the reflecting mirrors on the walls.  The was a Lum's across from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Federal Building at Third Avenue and 54th street, and a hot dog, there was about 59 cents.  On East 49th Street near Fred's was a small Gristedes, where four Dannon yogurts was a dollar.  East 49th Street was like something out of the old television show, "The Man from Uncle."  The CBS Broadcast Building on the far end of West 57 Street had a cafeteria with $2 sandwiches, but one has to be an employee to eat there.  I once ate at the Carnegie Deli on West 57th Street and Sixth Avenue, and I think I had a strawberry short cake for $3.  On Tuesday evenings, the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 84th Street and Fifth Avenue would serve a prime rib of roast beef dinner with all of the trimmings for $7.  There was a cafeteria on Madison Avenue just south of the Whitney Museum, where a meat loaf dinner with about two vegetables was about $4.  On Madison Avenue on the west side at about 62nd Street was another standard breakfast restaurant for about $2.50 and fifty cent tip.  Fred a few times took us to the Spring Street restaurant in So Ho, where John Michael Barrett ended up working where stuffed Dover Sole was about $7.  His previous place at 59th Street and First Avenue near Ford Modeling at Daly's a blue cheese hamburger with home fries was about $3.  At Third Avenue around 72nd Street there was J.G. Mellons, and just north was Fry's with the same price burger and French fries meal.  On the corner of the F.D.R. Federal Building was P.J. Clark's where a bowl of chili was about $4.  Near the Daily News on Second Avenue and 42nd Street, there was a 24 hour automat, where a good meal was $2 or $3.  There was Pete's Tavern just south of Grammery Park, where a burger and French fries was about $4.  On Second Avenue at about Ninth Street, there was Pearl Bailey's restaurant where a Southern Cooked meal was about $7, and in the West Village near the Hudson River, there was Down on the Farm, where a balanced meal was about $7.  At Commerce and Barrow Street in the West Village, there was the Old Dutch Tavern where two porks chops with candied apple and two vegetables was about $7.  At First Avenue and 53rd Street, there was the Mayfair restaurant, where two pork chops and two vegetables was about $7.  Before I traveled to Oslo, Norway in February 1983, I also met a wealthy Greek named Constatine that had a huge loft on the Hudson River with a kitchen that could feed about fifty people easily.  On East 58th Street, there is also the Town House Bar and the Town House restaurant, which was about $15 for a meal twenty years ago.  I think I once had the basic hamburger meal at Elaine's on Second Avenue around 88th Street for $7.  I once took a friend to eat a basic hamburger meal at Schaff's on Firth Avenue near Rockefeller Center for about $5 apiece.  The last time I visit Manhattan twenty years ago for the Microsoft Conference at the Sheraton Hotel at Broadway and West 54th Street, I brought my own baloney sandwich to eat for lunch.  At the conference, I saw somebody walking around the Sheraton that looked like Wiley Middleton that started General Motors Acceptance Corporation that owned the Sheraton Hotel chain.  Also I once ate with a friend at Cafe Des Artistes at Central Park West and 70th Street, when a meal was about $15.  I also ate at Pizza Duo at Columbus Avenue and 75th Street, when a Deep Dish pizza was about $6.  I also ate pineapple milk shake at Pineapple Joe's at Broadway and west 72nd Street, when it was about a dollar.  There was also a Polish bakery on West 74th Street west of Broadway, where a croissant was about 59 cents.  I once ate at TexArkansas with Julie on West 13th Street near Fifth Avenue, and I ate a steak for about $15.  I saw Senator John Tower there.  On the February after 911, I ate at the Peking restaurant on Park Avenue and about 40th Street, where a complete meal was about $12.  I once ate your basic burger meal for $7 at Paul Allen's at Broadway and West 44th Street.  On East 86th Street, I ate at Old Heidleburg, where a German meal was about $7.  Also nearby was Philadelphia cheese steaks for about $3.  I once with my family to a Christmas Party at the Union League Club, and I went back there around 1974 for a Taft School dinner for about $20.  The all time favorite was Tad's Steak House at Broadway and West 34th Streak where a steak and bake potato with butter was $1.29.  I ate at Churchill's on Third Avenue and about 70th Street, where the basic burger meal was $4.  I recall eating with my family at the Four Seasons on Park Avenue near the Waldorf.  On West 22nd street and Tenth Avenue, there was the Empire Diner opened 24 hours, where breakfast was about $4.  Also in the basement of the Seagrams Building at Park Avenue and 53rd Street was the Brasserie where eggs benedict with French Fries and coffee was about $4.  They were opened 24 hours.  I once ate at the River Club on East 54th Street and the East River with George Cary's parents and his cousin.  I also once ate at Pear Trees at 49th Street and First Avenue, where dinner was about $10.  I ate a number of times at McDonald's on Little West 4th Street on the west side of Washington Square and at McDonald's across the street from the F.D.R. Federal Building at Third Avenue and 54th Street.  I recall when I was younger going to a dinner dance at the Colony Club at Park Avenue and about 66th Street.  I ate a few times at Charlie Brown's at Grand Central Station.  I ate once at T.G.I.F. at First Avenue and 66th Street.  I ate a couple of times at the restaurant on Madison Avenue behind Bloomingdale's.  I ate breakfast a couple of times at the Chopping Block just north of there.  I recall one or twice eating a big baked pretzel from a street vendor at Rockefeller Center.  There was a deli on First Avenue between 58th Street and 59 Street, I got sandwiches at a few times.  There was a bakery at First Avenue and 54th Street, I got a croissant for about 59 cents a few times.  I once saw John Lennon and Yoko Ono there.  I also them at the Fairway Grocery store at Broadway and West 77th Street.  Just north of there, I shopped a number of times at Zabars.  There was an ice cream parlor on Central Park South, where I got ice cream a few times.  Besides Tuesday night roast beef dinners at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I ate at their cafeteria a lot of times in the day time while touring the museum which let me in for free.  At Third Avenue and 59th Street, I also had the basic burger meal at Daly's and Yellow Fingers.  Up Third Avenue at around 70th street, there was a basic burger restaurant that I ate at a couple times called Country Cousin, with the $3 hamburger with French Fries.  Beside the new Citicorp Building at Third Avenue and 52nd Street, a good place to go to the bathroom was the Waldorf Astoria Hotel at Park Avenue, the Plaza Hotel at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  I had drinks at numerous places in Manhattan too.  I recall once going to the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center for a party.  I recall eating at Mortimers at Madison Avenue and 74th Street a couple of times.  I remember while touring the Central Park Children's Zoo with the white German Shepard, I thought the monkeys were eating better than I was.  I recall eating at Louchows on the South Side of Union Square a couple of times.  I recall eating at Trader Vic's at the Plaza Hotel a couple of time, and I also while at CBS News would have drinks there at the Oak Bar, and I recall having tea there once.  I also recall having coffee and a pastry at the Thomas Watson business school at Columbia Univeristy, and near Columbia University there was a deli, where one could get a sandwich for about two dollars.  There was a A&P grocery store at Second Avenue and 50th street and another one at Eighth Avenue and 19th Street.  There was a Korean fruit and vegetable stand at West 72nd Street and West End Avenue too, but they had expensive dollar apples there too.  Fred Von Mieres had a charge account the Liquor Store at the North Side of the British Consulate at 53rd Street and Third Avenue.  They had cheaper French wine at Surrey Liquors at Madison Avenue and 74th Street near the French Consulate.  Rene Junot and Valbon had good French white table wine.  Somebody once took me to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown too.  Also just north of 72nd street and third Avenue, there was another Ray's famous pizza for 59 cents a slice.  Near that was a 24 hour fresh bagel shop where a half dozen bagels cost $3.  Also once at Fred Von Mierers' apartment at 420 East 49th Street now the German consulate, he once served a cater beef stroganoff dinner to about a dozen people.  There was an A&P grocery store at Third Avenue and 84th Street.  I think the A&P stores were sold to the Acme grocery store chain.  Also my parents knew Huntington Hartford who owned the A&P food store chain and lived on Beekman Place near Fred Von Mierers at 420 East 49th Street now the German Consulate.  Also in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, there is supposed to be a warehouse with a million pounds of frozen butter, if one needs butter.  Also around west 54th Street and Tenth Avenue, there was the Landmark Tavern, where one could get the basic burger meal.  It was near the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street, so a lot of people from CBS went there.  It was also near the cruise ship docks.  However, a lot of the cruise ship passengers like going to the King Cole room in the basement of the St. Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue and around East 55th Street.  The King Cole room is very POSH.  POSH stands for Port Out and Starboard Home, for when the British Cruise Ships used to go to India.  I also had dinner at the Williams Club on East 47th Street with Anne Freeman whose father ran the Adlai Stevenson Foundation back in Illinois.  I also ate lunch a few times at the Chase Bank Plaza cafeteria down on Wall Street a few times, when my sisters worked at the law firms of Cravath, Swaine, and Moore and Davis, Polk, and Wardwell.  CIO

09/10/23 Sunday 10:20 A.M.  I went out to www.mcdonalds.com ,and I bought two McGriddles for $6.44 total.  I then went to the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park, and I ate my breakfast.  I then used the bathroom at the CFCF coffee shop.  I then toured www.cvs.com .  I then drove down to the Board of Education Parking lot Veterans monument, and I sat out for a long time.  I bought an Ace's High scratch card at Zen Stationary for a dollar, and as usual I lost to the Bank of Bombay.  I then used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com .  I then sat out at the Senior and the Arts Center.  Just for a change I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road for the first time in the daytime in a long time, and it still looks pretty much the same.  I then returned home.  I chatted with a friend.  I went outside.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will eat a yogurt.  I will then go to bed.  CIO 

End of Scott's Notes week of 09/10/23

09/10/23 Sunday 6:30 A.M.  The Gateway 11.5 inch laptop with Windows 11 Home activated and updated with Office 2021 activated and with Norton Internet Security 360 activated which has hardly ever been used with a full charge on its battery has been backed up with a Windows Complete PC backup to an external hard drive.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  When on  the only time I visited Bermuda in April 1968, I visited with three Taft Classmates for Spring Break.  One was Myles McGough from Katonah, New York, and another was Hunt Collins from Louisville, Kentucky, and the third was Mac Whiteman from Memphis, Tennessee.  We found out about the Glendon Guest House James Paul Warburg Junior who was a friend at the Middlesex Boy's School in Concorde, Massachusetts.   Of his four classmates that visited Bermuda with us, I can only remember one name which is Joe Romineer from Long Island who was the son of a politician that always lost.  We rented Mopeds there.  I bought four wool sweaters for $20 each from Triminghams.  I flew there  on B.O.A.C. or British Overseas Aircraft Corporation.  I returned on Pan American Airways.  At the time, my family was living in Wellesley, Massachusetts.  While at Taft, we were given Bermuda driver's licenses and Bermuda draft cards blank for under age drinking in Port Chester, New York and Manhattan.  John McGrath sold them to us for $5 each, but he was big football player type.  While in Bermuda, we threw a high tea party every day at the Glendon Guest House, and friends of my sister's were also there.  I brought my golf clubs, but never played golf.  I met Waddie Watson III from Buffalo, who seemed prosperous always trying to get me to play golf at the St. George's golf club in Bermuda.  When the Middlesex students left, we stayed there with four students from the University of North Carolina.  The girls on Spring Break back then would let us eat there diners at the Elbow Beach Hotel, where they stayed.  One had to wear a sports jacket and tie to dinner.  I did not explore much of the Island except Hamilton and the Elbow Beach Hotel area.  As far as I know all of my computer maintenance is done.  I also have three Chromebooks that don't need any maintenance.

I will now go downtown and forage around on Greenwich Avenue, but first I will end out my weekly notes.  CIO

!!!!!! 09/10/23 Sunday 5:05 A.M.  Looks like Hurricane Lee might still be headed for Bermuda https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/024833.shtml?cone#contents and maybe points North like the United Kingdom.  One of the last times I visited Newport, Rhode Island; I met Dan Bladen who worked for White Weld and Company, and he had us on his nice sailboat in the harbor at Newport, which he used to win the Newport to Bermuda sailing race, so he probably knows something about Bermuda.  My stepfather's brother who had one of seven houses including one in Greenwich, used to have a house in Bermuda and belonged to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.  When I first met Fred Von Mierers in October 1973, he was designing a beach cabana for Nelson Rockefeller in Bermuda.  Vivian West out at Plandome Manor, Long Island used to talk about Bermuda like she was familiar with it.  The second largest reinsurance company in the World is based in Bermuda.  Jimmy Goslee who use to live on Charles Street in Greenwich Village and owned the Florist that supplied the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the Wallace Family of Reader's Digest flower donation had a big greenhouse in Delaware, and his family started the first company in Bermuda.  A friend of my family from Muskegon, Michigan had a sister who was the United States consulate to Bermuda for a very long time.  When I was in Bermuda in April 1968, I met the daughter of C. Douglas Dillion the former Treasury Secretary.  My mother and stepfather spent the Winter of 1980 in Bermuda.  I once bought a picture of Hamilton Harbor for $15 from the Old Greenwich Thrift Shop from a lady working there from Bermuda.  When I first moved into my current building there was an older couple living here from Bermuda.  They had worked at the Greenwich Country Club.  My former brother in law has an older sister with a house in Bermuda.  Stewart Mott had a house in Bermuda.  Michael Bloomberg also has a house in Bermuda.  One of Queen Victoria's daughter's married a wealthy Canadian and spent the Winter in Bermuda, because it was a bit cold up in Canada.  Bermuda still has a law suit with the state of Texas for calling Texas Red Onions, Bermuda Red Onions.  That is about all I know about Bermuda.  A Taft Classmate that looked like me who was Bedford, New York whose grandmother had the biggest house out on Nantucket was named Tommy Tucker, and he might be related to the people that started Tucker Town in Bermuda.  They also drive on the left side of the road in Bermuda.  The nice hotel there on the beach is the Elbow Beach Hotel on the East side of the Island.

I went outside again.  CIO

09/10/23 Sunday 4:15 A.M.  On the Gateway 11.5 inch laptop with Windows 11 and Office 365 that I bought from Wal-Mart a little over a year ago for $118 and never used, since Office 365 expires on it after a year, I installed Office 2021 with the spare product key that I bought last night.  Basically I still had to activate it by telephone which I did with my cell phone.  When one activates it by cell phone, they send one the activation numbers by text message, which is easier to install, so now Office 2021 is activated on it.  I am now installing the Windows 11 updates on it.  I will then do a Windows Complete PC backup of it to an external hard drive.  The battery still holds a full charge.  One has to plug in the charger on the left side, not the right side which has a similar size hole. 

I went outside twice, and one of those times, I drank a brewed coffee.  CIO

A year old recipe for gourmet salad: I went to the Whole Foods store on East Putnam Avenue.  I bought a six ounce package of Greek olives for $5.99, a six ounce package of Spanish artichoke hearts for $5.99 and a 12 ounce package of pasta salad for $7.82 for $20.80 total.  I then went to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a eight ounce package of spicy sliced pepperoni for $8.99.  I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought a pint of fresh salsa for $4.11, two 4 ounce artichoke hearts for $2 each, a 6 ounce Goya stuffed Spanish olives for $2.49, a 16 ounce pasta salad for $4.99, and a Bermuda red onion for $1.45 for about $13.  I mixed all of the ingredients I bought, and I also added about three fourths of a cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I put it all in two 2 quart Rubbermaid containers with lids to chill in the refrigerator.  It is about $50 total for a gourmet salad to have available for the four or fives days.  It is basically, a Greek, Spanish, and Italian salad.  I drained the water liquids, but not the oil in the artichoke hearts.  I can not afford it anymore. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/10/23 Sunday 12:20 A.M.  I rested until Midnight.  I went outside in the pouring rain.  CIO

09/09/23 Saturday 1:20 A.M.  On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop computer that I got today, I put in a 240 GB SSD drive in it.  I set it up on the left side of the primary work computer setup on top of the other similar Dell.  I put a new Lenovo wireless keyboard and wireless mouse on it, a new Microsoft web cam, and a new headset.  I restored the Aomei backup of the similar Dell on the bedroom desk with the Linux Aomei restore CD.  I bought https://royalcdkeys.com/collections/operating-system/products/windows-11-pro-oem-cd-key and https://royalcdkeys.com/collections/business-office/products/microsoft-office-2021-pro-plus-key-phone-retail-global for $6.81 total.  I had to use the Windows 11 product key to activate Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus, and then used the product key activation method to keep the expiring warning from coming up.  I did not need to use the product key for Office 2021, since it activated online without any problems.  I also have Norton 360 Internet Security installed and activated on it.  I also have it connected to the Dell Laser printer.  As far as I can tell, it works just fine.  I made an Aomei backup of it to an external hard drive.  I went outside twice, and once I drank a brewed coffee.  At this point after four to five months of computer systems maintenance mostly with the Windows 12 beta Canary operating system, I do not have much to do anymore, but regular routine work.  I will now go outside again and drink a brewed coffee.

About Hurricane Lee Tracking https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/025414.shtml?cone#contents .  Back in the old days Bob Lee down South was supposed to be my hurricane connection.  He was a medical doctor that had gone to www.usma.edu and he was well connected in Greenwich and volunteered at the Mews Thrift shop with some very prominent local volunteers.  However, in my search on the internet, it says he passed away in Houston, Texas about five years ago.  From the early days before high tech down south, there was conventional wisdom that if the Pelicans disappeared in Key West or the Flamingos disappeared in Biscayne Bay in Miami, there was going to be a big bad tropical storm coming or hurricane.  Since the birds are outside all of the time, they are more sensitive to changes in the weather.  So if one does not have high tech watch your birds.  Since hurricanes frequently run up the Atlantic Coast, it might be better if one had wheels to drive into the heart land of the Midwest of America, where not too much happens, but it gets very cold in the winter.  I was once told that Jimmy Buffet was not from Key West, but from Montana, he just got down there first before anyone else.  Even Ernest Hemingway had a place in Sun Valley, Idaho, the railroad ski resort that the Harriman Railroad family started a long time ago.  It is also very cold there in the winter, unlike Greenwich, Connecticut on Long Island Sound which is on the Edge of Tropics, but it can get very cold here in the winter for two or three months.

09/07/23 Thursday 1:15 A.M.  On the older refurbished Ipad Mini, I was able to put an older version of Gmail on it.  This Ipad Mini case with keyboard for $20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RWRVTST?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details is what I am using with it.  It all works just fine.  A new Ipad Mini is now $500 https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-mini which is way to expensive for my disability budget, plus with all of my computer equipment is just another backup to the backup.  Still it is a learning experience configuring it.  This in silver 32 GB https://www.itechdeals.com/products/apple-ipad-mini-2-with-retina-display-wi-fi-16gb-space-gray-2nd-generation-3?sscid=81k7_jl86h&utm_source=shareasale&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=1189165&variant=40765380526177 for $59.99 is the refurbished model I setup and with the $20 case and keyboard, I have about $80 and a bit of time invested in it.  Since it is a smaller screen, an older person probably needs these https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Sight-Magnifying-Glasses-Travel/dp/B0843HFPLC/ref=asc_df_B0843HFPLC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563758539284&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3733487686589262678&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003435&hvtargid=pla-919369445203&th=1 magnifying glasses for $20 which would make it a $100 investment which by today's current apple prices saves a bit of money.  I have not been to the Apple store on Greenwich Avenue in about three of four months, since they find me despite all of my cheap skills that I am a nuisance.

I will now go outside again to see if there any lost ice skaters around.  In Greenwich Village I once met two professional ice skaters named Franky and Johnny's, and they took me for a ride on the Staten Island Ferry to see a little bit more of New York.  I think the first time I might have ventured to State Island was when I drove down from Boston to look at a used Mercedes 300 B for about $400 that I read about in the classified adds of the New York Times which used to advertise a lot of old cars.  At www.lakeforest.edu I used to read the classified ads of the Chicago Tribune looking for old Mercedes too.  I lived in a small room at the St. Clare residence on West 9th Street for $35 a week, when I worked at the broadcast center of CBS on West 57th Street for $85 a week before taxes.  The Ninth Circle pub just west on West 9th Street was where a lot of the younger CBS people hung out.  I did meet to waiters at Daly's at 59th Street and First Avenue that had also worked for CBS.  They introduced me to Ernest Hemingway's nephew from Switzerland.  Also they lived in a small carriage house apartment on Minetta Place in Greenwich Village where both Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner had once lived as younger writers.  A friend also had a studio apartment on East 13th Street just east of the Forbes building and across the street from Fairchild Publications and Asti's Italian opera restaurant.  That is near Grace Episcopal Church at 13th Street and University Place which is one of the wealthiest churches in New York City which owns a lot of property in Greenwich Village.  Eleanor Roosevelt once lived in the apartment on the West side of Washington Square which was owned by that church, so they made their rent checks out to the church as a tax deduction.  My oldest half sister who was a doctor in the World Health Organization for fifty years owned an apartment on Washington Square, when she went to medical school at New York University too.  CIO 

09/07/23 Thursday 12:05 A.M.  On the Ipad Mini, I charged up its Bluetooth keyboard today.  I just now turned on the Ipad Mini, and then I turned on the Bluetooth keyboard, and I enabled it in the Ipad Mini Bluetooth settings.  It works just fine.  I put Google Doc and Microsoft Ipad Word on it.  The other free word processors do not work with IOS 12.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  Midnight Mike is about to be on full power.  In the old days in the west Greenwich Village, the students did not show up at the few local student pubs until 11 P.M..  I guess that was when the www.nyu.edu Bopst Library closed for the evening.  A lot of the NYU students had part time jobs at the American Express Credit Card processing office at Astor Place, so they were able to track rich people in their travels around the World.  Of course on the weekends, there was the Bridge and Tunnel Crowd from around New York City enjoying the local ambience of the old village look.  CIO

09/06/23 Wednesday 10:55 P.M.  I rested until 10 P.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.

I ordered twenty cartons https://www.floridatobaccoshop.com/Richwood-Filtered-Cigars-GOLD-Mild_p_2987.html for $11.75 each for $235 total.

09/06/23 Wednesday 7:05 A.M.  The $60 refurbished Apple Ipad Mini is all configured, and it works just fine.  I have not activated the keyboard on its $11 case, which might need charging up.  I did a Itunes backup of it on the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF on the desk on the right side of the primary work area.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will go outside.  I will then go to bed. 

Midnight Mike computer activity over the last five months has pretty much worn me out.  CIO

09/06/23 Wednesday 6:05 A.M.  I covered a dinner plate with three ounces of baby spinach leaves, then I added a drained and flaked five ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, four ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese, a quarter of a diced red Bermuda onion, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and Wish Bone garlic basil vinaigrette dressing and Wish Bone creamy Caesar dressing.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.

09/06/23 Wednesday 4:50 A.M.  On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop computer on the living room desk with the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus on it, I installed Itunes.  I then made a backup of the Ipad 3.  I then tried to restore that backup to the Ipad Mini, but at first it failed.  I then turned off the LAN connection, and I ran Itunes in Windows copatibility mode for Windows 8, and it completed the Itunes restore of the Ipad 3 back to the Ipad mini without any problem with all of its apps.  I am now installing those app on the Ipad Mini through the wireless, which will take a while.  Possibly I will have to update the IOS too.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  My old friend Tony Renato Pigato from Sao Paulo, Brazil that owns twenty million acres of coffee plantation in Brazil used to drink over a dozen cups of coffee a day.  He was part of the Brazilian Tourist authority before he retired when Covid 19 broke out.  I guess it is not a very profitable business, because he told me a few years ago, he had bought a www.ford.com Escort, but he did have an introduction to the Aga Khan when he was here around 1987, and he was riding around in the Aga Khan's Rolls Royce on Central Park West, which is one of many places the Aga Khan has around the world.  Since the Aga Khan is also a Swiss Citizen, he might have part ownership in Nestle the World's Largest Food Company that also owns the World's Most Popular coffee brand Nescafe and also has the distribution rights for the line of www.starbucks.com products.  The Aga Khan's family have had a home in Greenwich since World War One, and his grandfather was the World's Wealthiest Person, so he might know other people with money.  His roommate at www.harvard.edu was Adlai Stevenson Junior from Libertyville, Illinois, where the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corporation used to have their American headquarters.  Also my mother's neighbor in Florida used to be Sir John Bond, the chairman of the HSBC Bank.  CIO

09/03/23 Sunday 6:45 A.M.  I installed the Windows 12 beta expiration fix on the Lenovo Mini on the primary work computer, the HP Desktop on the living room desk on the right side of the primary work computer, and the Dell Optiplex 790 desktop on the left side of the primary work computer.  As far as I know the only two beta computers that I have without the beta fix are the Dell Latitude E 6400 and E 6410 on the bedroom desk, and they do not have Windows 11 product keys, so it does not matter.  If they do not work on September 15, 2023, when the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus expires, I can always restore the Windows 10 backups to them.

I will now go outside and drink a cup of tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice.  Tea time in England is 4 P.M., which is about 9 P.M. here.  I have never been in England or the United Kingdom, but I know a few people with connections, particularly since Fred Von Mierer's apartment in the early 1970s was at 420 East 49th Street now the German consulate, but I would walk by the British consulate on Third Avenue on the East Side south of 53rd Street.  Fred also had a charge account at the liquor store on the north side of the British consulate.  All I know about his British connections was he knew Sarah Churchill who was Winston Churchill's grand daughter who volunteered at a soup kitchen in Manhattan.  He also had attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace with Helen Kress Williams where he met Mick Jaeger.  He also was taking over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business, and Billy Baldwin over the doorway to his small studio on East 60th Street had an old wooden coat of arms that said, "Dieu et Mon Droit." which is the motto of the British Royal family.  Billy Baldwin looked a bit like the Duke of Windsor and knew the Duke of Windsor.  On the block on East 49th Street there were also parked in diplomatic parking places two Royal Blue Daimler limousines that never seemed to move.  I just kept busy doing a few chores here and out in Greenwich and walking a lot around New York City. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO 

09/03/23 Sunday 5:10 A.M.  I installed the Windows 12 beta  expiration fix on the 17.3 inch HP laptop on the right side of the oak table.  On the far end of the oak dining table, I installed the Windows 12 beta expiration fix on all seven  Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus computers.  I had a problem with the four desktop computer in that their displays were not working, but I fixed that by plugging the VGA to HDMI adapter into another plug on the power strip.

I went outside once and drank a brewed coffee.

09/02/23 Saturday 1:25 A.M.  On the three 17.3 inch laptops with Windows 12 Canary beta Rufus on the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet, I installed the Windows 11 expiring fix below.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

!!!!!! 09/01/23 Friday 11:45 P.M.  I found this about Windows 11 expiring https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JLz-Om1Wsmo .

That method worked to get rid of the Windows 12 Canary Beta Rufus expiring error message. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

09/01/23 Friday 11:15 P.M.  On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF on the right side of the primary work computer, it is saying that the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus installation will expire on September 15, 2023; although I have it activated with a Windows 11 product key.  Thus I do not know if all of my beta machines will work or not on September 15, 2023.  I made the most recent USB pen drive of Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus, but it will not upgrade the system to a more recent installation.  It will only do a new install, which I do not want to do at this point.  The most recent beta though is available in multiple languages. 

This is how to install the beta on an older machine:  On Beta Testing the newest Windows betas on older machines, one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows 11 beta 25300 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?rfs=1 , and I used this procedure for Windows 11 on an older PC, Windows 11 Rufus installed from USB Pen Drive  I made a Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive with this method this https://rufus.ie/en/ to created a Windows 11 bootable USB pen drive for it to upgrade https://www.elevenforum.com/t/create-bootable-windows-11-iso-without-tpm-secure-boot-and-ram-requirements.1891/ I formatted the over 8 GB USB pen drive in NTFS, and I set Rufus to "MBR" selected and the second and third advanced options selected, also select options no TPM/no Secure boot.  The different language versions of the Windows 11 *.iso download are here https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 thus for example if one wanted Windows 11 Professional in French download the *.iso file and make the Windows 11 Rufus USB pen drive the same way.  Once again the Complete PC backup does not work, but Aomei backup does work. Microsoft does not pay its beta tester minions, but one learns a bit about their operating systems for free.  I went outside.  CIO

09/01/23 Friday 9:35 P.M.  I moved the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop from the left side of the primary work computer to the right side on top of the HP desktop on the living room desk.  I also installed the Xerox color laser printer on it.  It works just fine.

08/31/23 Thursday 6:10 A.M.  On the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF that I moved to the bedroom desk, I also transferred the Logitech MK 570 wireless keyboard and wireless mouse from the Mac Mini to it.  I also have a good Logitech webcam on it and a good Microsoft headset on it, so it is all setup and good for a smaller person to use.  The Mac Mini is not connected to the LAN, since I have only one spare LAN port.  The Mac Mini is not connected to the HP wireless laser printer, and it uses a cheaper wireless keyboard and wireless mouse.  CIO

08/31/23 Thursday 5:15 A.M.  The fully configured Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop is all setup on the bedroom desk connected to the 42 inch ONN TV monitor and the HP Laser Printer.

I will put it on the desk to the right side of the primary work computer, and I will move the new Dell Optiplex 790 SFF from there to the bedroom desk right now.

Maybe with the hurricane down south some people once familiar with this area returned up north.  CIO

08/31/23 Thursday 3:15 A.M.  Just the old skinny black cat outside that is always around.  They even name a cheap wine Chile after it called, "Chat Noir."

From what I read, a black timber wolf would have long hair, and the black wolf that I saw had short hair.  Maybe it is a black Carolina Red Wolf or a black Texas Red Wolf.  It looked very healthy and well fed.  CIO

08/31/23 Thursday 2:35 A.M.  One Ipad is 33% charged, another is 65% charged, and the third was not charging, but now I have it plugged in all the way and is charging.

The way I figured it the wolves are always around in this area, but since I am out smoking at night, they like showing off to me, so they can get more attention.  They know there is not much food in this area, so they probably head over to Port Chester to get a bite to eat.  I have been told a She Wolf with her cubs is very dangerous. 

Black Wolf Information:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_wolf   There is a Wolf Sanctuary in South Salem, New York that I have seen.  In Wilton, Connecticut; there is a Wolf Pit Road.  Rome, Italy was started Romulus and Remus who were twins raised by a She Wolf.  I once met some relative's children in Down State Illinois, and they liked playing with Wolf Cubs in the Woods.  Well, it is a very healthy looking black wolf that I saw.  Wolf Man Jack used to live in this area.  Since I have seen three different wolves in the past week with two this morning, I think it is save to say there is a wolf pack in this area.  I once saw a Timber Wolf in Old Greenwich, when Tod's Point flooded after Hurricane Gloria. 

Maybe it is just a big black German Shepard that got away. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

08/31/23 Thursday 1:50 A.M.  I think I will try to rest for a while.  Maybe I should try to get on a day schedule to avoid the local wolves at night.  CIO

!!!!!! 08/31/23 Thursday 1:10 A.M.  Just now heading west from the woods by the visitors' parking lot, I saw a big black wolf followed by a slightly smaller brownish type wolf with a bushy tail.  I called up my neighbor with the small little dog that is always barking that senses it.  That is now three wolves.  I think elderly disabled people awake at night should be allowed to smoke in their apartments instead of being used as wolf bait.  CIO 

08/31/23 Thursday 12:35 A.M.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought four 20 ounce cans of Stop and Shop pineapple chunks for $1.69 each, two 7 ounce Green Giant frozen Brussels sprouts in butter sauce for $1.50 each, a 48 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.99, a six ounce bag of baby Spinach for $3.99, and two 48 ounce Ocean Spray diet cranberry juice for $3.49 each for $26.82 total.  I put my food in the car, and I went back inside, and I bought a roast beef sandwich for $6.43 total.  I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought a Snapple no sugar ice tea for $2.51.  I then drove down to the Board of Education Veterans Monument, and I had a picnic of the roast beef sandwich and no sugar ice tea.  Hardly anyone was around.  Bartlett Dairy was delivering as usual to www.starbucks.com .  I sat out for a long time.  I then went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $15.04 of self service premium gasoline for $4.899 a gallon for 3.069 gallons at odometer reading of 124626 miles for 44 miles driven since Sunday August 13, 2023 for 14.337 miles per gallon in local traffic.  I then returned  home.  I put away the groceries.  I put the grey bag back in the car.  I drank a brewed coffee outside.

I once read the former governor and recently diseased Lowell Weicker had a house in Cedar Key https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66662777 in Florida which was heavily damaged, so maybe other people from this area are down there.  I have read over the years that as the East Coast of Florida got more built up, some of the more established people like the Rockefellers has simple houses at Boca Grand on the West Coast of Florida.  I have not read if it was damaged too.  One of the Ipads is now 18% charged up.  I saw someone in the Stop and Shop with a www.nantucket.net shirt.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

08/30/23 Wednesday 9:30 P.M.  I went outside again. 

I am trying to charge up the three old Ipads to see if they hold a charge.  I took the fourth one that holds a full charge, and I put it in a case, and I placed it on top of the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet.  The four Ipads all have cases, but when I get the new third generation Ipad, I do not need a case, since I will put it on the Phillips stand behind the primary work computer chair.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

!!!!!! 08/30/23 Wednesday 8:45 P.M.  I found the three Apple Ipads.  They were on the left side of the second shelf of the stainless steel stand in front of the left living room closet.  Thus I have four Ipads beside the two new ones coming.  CIO

08/29/23 Tuesday 10:40 P.M.  I rested until 10 P.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I saw people yesterday from www.nantucket.net back in Greenwich.  I was once told the best time out on Nantucket was after Labor Day, when the tourist season is over.  Because Nantucket is near the Gulf Stream it stays warmer in the Fall out there, and the flowers were still out in the first week of December 1983, when I returned to Greenwich.  However, in the winter out there, the harbor can freeze  making it hard for the ferry service to run with supplies from the mainland.  I am not sure whether or not they have ice breakers or not.  I have seen pictures on the internet with Nantucket all iced over in the Winter, when they have a ice storm.  The locals used to hang out in the Atlantic Cafe downtown, where they were allowed to charge food and drink, and they would go back to work in April to pay off their debts.  Nantucket Looms used to be on main street on Nantucket, where they wove white rough wool products, but in the winter, the same people were down in Key West with Key West fabrics that made light tropical designs.  The latest I was ever in Nantucket was the first week of December 1983, and the earliest I was ever in Nantucket was the first week of April 1977, when I ran into life guards from Nova Scotia on the beach, and when they saw me back on the island, they returned to Nova Scotia.  Ian Greenshield who did odd jobs and was Jackie Onassis's body guard in Stowe, Vermont was from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  He lived above the fire house on Nantucket.  CIO

08/28/23 Monday 11:30 P.M.  If one looks at this note http://scott-mike.com/02012823.htm this past February 2023, I moved three old Apple Ipad 2 out of the floor of the left living room closet to the lower shelf of the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet.  I have one mounted on the Apple Ipad charger behind the primary work computer, but the other two with cases and chargers have disappeared from the stainless steel cart.  They were used and about seven years old, and are only worth about $30 https://www.itechdeals.com/collections/clearance/products/apple-ipad-2-with-wi-fi-16gb-black-2nd-generation-in-black  if their batteries are any good.  It sort of make me wander what else has disappeared from my apartment that I have not noticed.

08/27/23 Sunday 10:15 P.M.  When I first visited Key West, Florida with Brian Hibbs from Cheshire, Connecticut in October 1976, the place was all boarded up and nothing was happening the day we were there.  We returned back to Fort Lauderdale.  Then in January 1977, when my car was towed in Fort Lauderdale for two many parking tickets at the Swimming Hall of Fame, I hitch hiked down to Key West, and I found a place to sleep underneath the Annex of the Episcopal Church.  Shortly there after, Jimmy Eldert showed up out of the University of New Hampshire after visiting Russia on a State Department Tour.  He eventually put me up at a trailer next to the Boca Chica Naval Station.  I knew Rob Glore down there from Lake Forest, Illinois, and he had the craft shop across the post office down there.  Fred Von Mierers told me in Manhattan, he had been there before, and once introduced me to Tennessee Williams on East 54th Street.  When in the summer of 1977 Jimmy and myself returned to Nantucket, we both lived at different locations on India Street, and Fred also was living at another location on India Street.  I got a job for $2.15 an hour as a pot scrubber at the Gordon Folger Hotel, so I hardly ever saw them.  Jimmy Eldert was back down in Key West in the winter of 1978, when I met John Bolton, and one day he left with a blue duffle bag hitch hiking out of town.  Around 1979, I called up a relative of Jim's, and I was told he was in Santa Cruz, California, which I had driven through with John Bolton in the fall of 1978 not knowing he was there.  Between then and the fall of 1980, I visited Jim a few times in Santa Cruz.  When I returned to Greenwich from Nantucket in December 1983, I tried to stay in touch with him in the Malibu Colony where he had moved, but on expensive long distance telephone calls, all I got was his answering machine with the Flintstone's theme song on it.  When I was mugged back around July 3 by someone from Bermuda, 1990 in Manhattan, I thought I saw some one that looked like Jimmy walking down Third Avenue in blue overalls with a shirt.  Possibly that is the last time I saw him.  On Nantucket, Jimmy once was wearing a St. Andrew's University T shirt from Scotland.  He also told me, he had worked for Queen Elizabeth II at her Sandringham Estate.  He also worked for Jacob Javitts in Washington D.C. while at American University, and he met Princess Irene of the Netherlands.  Helen Kress Williams back in February 1975, when we moved her from Oyster Bay to Locust Valley, Long Island mentioned we should keep an eye on the young Jimmy Eldert, but he was all over the place, so that was sort of difficult.

08/27/23 Sunday 1:20 A.M.  I hate to tell you August 28 is going to be Jimmy Eldert's 68th birthday.  When I met him with Fred Von Mierers around October 1973 during the stock market crash of that time, Jimmy asked me to remember his birthday.  Usually when Jimmy shows up, nobody is around.  We once walked around barefoot in the snow in a deserted Manhattan in a snow storm.  Another time he and Fred went to El Morocco, and I showed up by mistake, when Fred had left a note on his Pullman bar saying to meet him at El Morocco which was meant for Jimmy not me.  From my view point from what I know since I am half Dutch American, the Dutch Under Ground has been keeping track of me and interfering with me all of these years.  Even when my United States passport, Connecticut driver's license, and Wellesley, Massachusetts military draft card along with $200 and a five ounce Swiss Credit gold bar and three one ounce Canadian gold maple leafs at $825 an ounce were stolen from me in August 1980, American Express told me, my passport was being used in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.  So somebody with my look with Dutch connections has been playing dirty tricks all of these years.  Alas, when I drove a taxi cab for two years while at Lake Forest, Illinois in college at Lake Forest College, I had to be finger printed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so the United States Government would know the difference between me and the impersonator, unless it was some sort of government agent they let get away with it.  CIO

08/23/23 Wednesday 2:05 P.M.  When I worked 18 hours a day out on www.nantucket.net , I was told submarine commanders in World War II never slept, but only took twenty minute cat naps.  I recently saw on Cspan the submarine service in World War II had the highest rate of casualties.  They also mentioned they made submarines on the Great Lakes, but before the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lawrence_Seaway , it is hard to figure out how they got them out of the Great Lakes.  I guess the Saint Lawrence Seaway mostly sends corn flakes to starving Europeans from the Bread Basket of America.  In Norway corn flakes were considered a deluxe breakfast.  My friend whose great grandmother was from the Kaiser of Germany's consulate in Manhattan before World War One like eating Mueslix https://www.amazon.com/s?k=muslix+cereal&crid=190ECQM72X364&sprefix=Muslix%2Caps%2C219&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_6 which since the Kellogg family of America are of Swiss origin came from the Swiss cereal of the same name.  There used to be a big thick book listing all of the people that ate Kellogg's corn flakes, and I know the Kellogg's foundation is the largest contributor to United States universities and college, so they do some good with their money.  CIO

When I was camping out on the beach on the west side of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands in February 1972, there were a million stars in the sky on a clear night, and then something might have come out of the ocean and covered the who sky which scared me, so I climbed up the cliff in the dark, and I road my moped back into town.  Maybe the Loch Ness monster winters in the Canary Islands.  The water there is about 80,000 feet deep, so it is a big volcano just above the surface.  I have a theory if there were ever a prehistory time lock or cryogenics chamber with ancient figures frozen in time, it might be powered by a volcano and hidden in some place like Lanzarote.  They do grow onions there.  I once read that NASA has a ground monitoring facility there in case the space shuttle had to abort in Morocco.  I also read the Saudi Arabian royal family like vacationing there.  I also read they now have a geothermal desalination plant there for added water in desert climate.  In the northeast part of the island, some hippies had a commune there too.  Playa Blanca beach looked to the south, and they had an old www.coke.com cooler filled European beer of some sorts.  On the west side of the island, there was a compound that some wealthy European also maintained.

08/23/23 Wednesday 3:45 A.M.  The former Combustion Engineering Company on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut is now a part of the Swedish and Swiss Engineering company Asea Brown Boveri.  When I was in Manhattan in the early 1970s, the built a Swiss Cable Car from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island, where a lot of New York City employees live.  I first crossed the boarder into Switzerland in February 1972, when I traveled via train through Switzerland going from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France to visit my Greenwich friend Chuck King at the University of Grenoble.  Chuck's father worked for McCann Erickson advertising and handled the account for www.coke.com and Buick Automobiles.  His mother's family owned a bank in Ohio.  They lived in Michigan before moving here.  Chuck's father had gone to Williams College with Tommy Chester, which is how they knew each other.  Some times people show up here in Greenwich with a few connections in the Midwest hoping to find some warmer weather here on the edge of tropics on Long Island which keeps us a bit warmer.  New Canaan nearby can be a lot colder though, but it used to be out of range in case Manhattan ever got a nuclear blast.  However, being a small it town does not have its own hospital, but they use the Norwalk and Danbury hospitals, and their emergency medical used to consist of young volunteers.  CIO

08/23/23 Wednesday 3:20 A.M.  I went outside again.  There is not too much happening around here on a night schedule.  It now costs me about four dollars in gasoline to drive downtown and down to the pier on Steamboat Road to see the view of Long Island sound, and the dim lights of Long Island.  Since I lived at 700 Steamboat Road for 4.5 years in a $400 a month welfare apartment before moving to Byram, I have covered the pier on Steamboat Road for close to forty years, since I came off www.nantucket.net in December 1983.  Once I did chat briefly with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on that pier, but she just wanted to know where the nearby hotel was.  She was going to Yale at that time.  A young fisherman from Whistler ski resort in Northwest Canada https://www.skiresort.info/ski-resorts/canada/sorted/slope-length/ told me who she was.  I later walked into the www.starbucks.com coffee shop on Greenwich Avenue, and I saw her father the King of Sweden sitting there, and he told me, if I ever visit Sweden, I am going to end up sitting in a coffee shop.  The Queen of Sweden is from Brazil, so they probably have lots of Brazilian coffee in Sweden like the CFCF shop on Greenwich Avenue across from www.cvs.com also has lots of bags of Brazilian coffee beans for their coffee roaster on the premises.  When I knew Tony Renato Pigato, when I lived on Steamboat Road, he told me his grandfather owned twenty million acres of Brazilian coffee plantation, which is why I think he go to meet the Aga Khan here in Greenwich.  Nestle out of Switzerland with their Nescafe brand is supposed to be the world's largest food and coffee company, but although they do not have their own cheaper Nescafe K cups, they also market the Starbucks line of products, if one did not know.  Nestle has offices nearby in White Plains, New York; so their might be other Swiss people and Swiss businesses around here.  The internet took off with Tim Berners Lee working for CERN in Switzerland on super collider physics which costs a great deal of money.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines which I have never flown on, even though their United States headquarters are in nearby White Plains, New York, and I once met Queen Beatrice's nephew Eric who works for them and wanted to be a hypersonic pilot.  He was the KLM pilot in a 747 jet over Alaska, when it flew through a volcanic ash cloud and lost all four engines, but he was able to restart them.  Flying over Alaska is how on gets to Asia.  He delivers flowers around the world twice a week out of Amsterdam.  I met him at a pub near Ridgefield, where some of the Howard Hughes' Hughes Technology people hung out, when they were working on the Hubble Telescope mirror in Danbury.  That got me interested in volanoes.  Eric told me he has the most tulips planted around his house in Ridgefield.  They also used to sell balsa wood toy gliders at the Ridgefield Hardware store.  Eric thought the Greenwich people were too snobby, so he prefers Ridgefield.  However, I did once see someone that looked like Prince Claus of the Netherlands coming out of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club.  I know the Royal Dutch family once lived somewhere in Connecticut.

08/22/23 Tuesday 4:50 A.M.  I took the Logitech USB extender off the lower Dell Optiplex 790 desktop computer on the left side of the primary work computer, and I put it on the Mac Mini device on the primary work computer setup,s o hopefully its wireless keyboard and wireless mouse will work better.  CIO

08/22/23 Tuesday 4:10 A.M.  Well, the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF cost $26.59, the Office 2021 product key was $3.31, the Windows 11 product key was about $3.50, the Norton Internet Security product key for a year was about $5, and the 240 GB SSD drive was $23.37 and 8 GB of used memory for $14.78 for a grand total of $76.55 total.  However, it has some expensive parts attached to it, which I already had.

I ordered two 10 foot LAN cables https://www.ebay.com/itm/225182557330?hash=item346ded2492:g:rtcAAOSw6SJjNHeL&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HSy%2FxEVgU8xV9YyvJq1KxBKYs7vUdZyMN5u8bpvsy%2BjIpcvTdMKK9Fd7hU4cpcyQjJLVRc8Vt6Z6iUcRMLeN4pc0NT%2FKr8BfDsUUgvUSxoc2XqB9Lman8j2KT10OKhJVjYEtlTLpn5TCVilwlgPRmgw83%2FCd9BefJdIxcNTBUkFm0k2Mi15j9dYtpyodSfJMukV1QRnFLvQ%2BKvfCC%2BRNHxU5Bd9z5yr3B84PE2JgOtefuEwY3ruViGcrUNFFCsScEQ9%2FUqXlwsyBrFNGO%2FjCjggH8f53srTGE2sXIukw7GO%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-Le6crBYg for $13.80 total.

08/22/23 Tuesday 3:20 A.M.  I went outside and drank coffee twice.  I finished configuring the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF with Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus activated with a Windows 11 product key, Office 2021 that I bought a product key here for $3.31 https://royalcdkeys.com/products/microsoft-office-2021-pro-plus-key-phone-retail-global which I had to activate via telephone which is like a tedious drunk test, and Norton 360 Internet Security is activated.  It all works fine.  I am now doing an Aomei backup of it to an external hard drive.  The Optiplex 790 SFF factor only has 4 gigabytes of memory, but it works fine.  When I first got it, the lock security tabs were bent together, so it was a tedious problem to unstick it open up the case to install the 240 GB SSD drive.

I will now go outside again.

08/21/23 Monday 8:45 A.M.  The Mac Mini has a Pentium duo core processor with 4 gigabytes of memory and a 240 gigabyte SSD hard drive which took about four hours of my professional time to install to make it faster.  The Apple Macbook has a Pentium Duo Core processor with 4 gigabyte of memory and the 240 gigabyte SSD and a several year old battery both of which together took about four hours of my professional time to make it faster.  The is also the time to reinstall the IOS High Sierra.

Not much happening here on the cheap side of town.  Some of the older retired people on this side of town go through the nearby dump trying to make money off old computer equipment, but at least I know my older hardly used devices still work.  Having worked with various computer devices since 1989, I have a bit of experience that the garbage man that thinks he knows it all might not have or other person that frequents the dump.  About four year ago, I gave the dump an air conditioner that a neighbor disgarded.  Also about ten years ago I threw out my library of about 400 books to start the library at the dump.  I used to know somebody that vacationed in Nova Scotia that was a lawyer here in town, and he would haul his garbage to the dump with a little cart behind his car every weekend.  He also had a Dutch last name, so the old Dutch here can be pretty cheap.  Back in my original days in Kennebunkport, everone used to take their garbage to the dump.

08/21/23 Monday 6:05 A.M.  Both older Apple devices with new installs of High Sierra are in plastic bags with their power cords on the www.harvard.edu chair.  I did not check to see if the Apple Macbook still holds a charge, but I put a new battery in it a few years ago.  I hardly ever used them except for configuring them.  I originally bought the Apple Macbook laptop for about $70 and I put a $25 240 GB SSD drive in it and $20 battery in it for about $115 investment.  On the older Apple Mac Mini, I bought it for about a $141, and I put a $20 120 SSD drive in it for about $161 investment.  They both have the  High Sierra higher IOS installed that they will work with.  CIO

08/21/23 Monday 5:15 A.M.  The older Mac Mac Mini with a new install of High Sierra is now removed from the setup on the desk to the right of the primary work computer.  I took the older Mac Book off the bedroom desk, and I deleted its SSD drive contents, and I am now installing a new copy of High Sierra.  I do not know what to do with them, but I will have them ready to be reused.  I figure the older Mac Mini with an SSD drive in it is worth about $100 and the older Macbook laptop with an SSD drive in it is worth about $75.  However, in Greenwich there are not too many poor desperate people that might need them.

08/20/23 Sunday 7:10 A.M.  Up on www.nantucket.net , when they used to open sea scallops in the spring, the local people would use the sea scallop shells to pave their driveways, but the remaining bits of the sea scallops attract sea gulls, until they dry out and get crushed by the cars.  However, that is better than expensive gravel or asphalt from the main land.  When the last thing I did in December 1983 was paint the trim on Admiral Halsey's small cottage on the Polpis road, they used sea scallop shells for the driveway like a lot of other people out on Nantucket.  However, as Nantucket got more expensive, they got rid of the ice house on the wharf for the fishermen, so I am not sure if they have that enterprise anymore.  At Madeket on the north side of the island in the harbor, one can pick up quahogs with one's toes in about five of water, which they use for quahog chowder, so possibly those shells can be used for driveways too.  The rich people make Light Ship baskets in the off season, and they use to be very expensive; until the Asians started making them more cheaply.  When I was there, the Roman Catholic church in the center of town looked like it had not had its trim painted in over twenty years, but the other churches were well maintained.  The Episcopal Church had needle point cushions which they would make in the winter.  The Quakers on Nantucket have a bit more money, since they do not have to pay for a minister.  Nina Needlepoint moved out of Old Greenwich to Osterville on Cape Cod.  They also used to do a lot of needlepoint up in Kennebunkport, until they got into politics.  Billy Baldwin use to used needlepoint in his decorating.  Also on Hydra in the spring of 1972, the nuns used to sell inexpensive needlepoint.  Also a relative of the Harriman family tries to sell old needlepoint house slippers that he collected.  A lot of the Quakers on Nantucket were Scottish Presbyterians, but became Quakers to be cheaper.  I know somebody here in Greenwich related to the Scott family whose Greenleaf family used to own all of Nantucket, but they gave it away.  Prince Harry's wife's family seems to be related to the Hussey family out on Nantucket where a street downtown where I last lived in the basement of the Grinnon's guest house is called Hussey Street.  Jimmy Eldert in his period also lived in a small rental on Hussey street behind India House where he worked and where Billy Baldwin also once lived, until he moved to Sconset to work for Bunny Mellon.

I guess ever since Bunny Mellon passed away, there is no money way out on www.nantucket.net .  One can always chuck Sea Scallops, but maybe in season.  Bunny Mellon's husband was a British Knight, so he tries to take care of distressed British people in his neck of the woods.  I guess since King Charles is now King, all of the people that Queen Elizabeth used to take care of world wide are without means to survive.  I guess they could go back to England and try to lead ordinary lives.  There used to be someone in Greenwich that got paid $50,000 a year for writing one letter a year to Queen Elizabeth.

08/18/23 Friday 3:45 A.M.  Back around December 1973, I drove in about eight inches of snow in my blue Volvo Sedan that I bought from George Peabody in Greenwich to Newark Airport to pick up George Cary from East Aurora, New York, and then we drove in the white out conditions to George's maternal grandfather estate in Gladstone, New Jersey, and I met his grandfather Jay Coogan who was the President of the Illinois Central Railroad.  He only kept his mansion at 50 degrees Fahrenheit to save money.  His grandfather was the last living member of Queen Victoria's honor guard, and he had gone to Sandhurst Military Academy in England.  From there in Far Hills, New Jersey where the Forbes family live, the Volvo got a broken fan belt, and there was a snow mobile shop there that was able to replace the fan belt.  The Forbes have the franchise for Honda in New Jersey.  We then drove to a party at Fred Von Mierers girl friends huge apartment on Park Avenue and the 90s.  We met up with my youngest sister and her new husband and Jim Eldert from Syracuse, New York, where they get fifteen feet of snow.  After the party Jimmy took off with my younger sister and her husband, and George and I drove out in the snow to Greenwich.  My little cabin in the back yard did not have running water, and the propane heater did not have any propane.  Then I think George went back to Buffalo.  Later that winter he, showed up again, and I picked him up at Newark airport, but first I had to pay $200 to get my Volvo out of the towing pound in Manhattan, where it had been towed from Beekman Place.  We visited Fred's apartment at 420 East 49th Street.  I recall another time in that period staying at George's Aunt Mary's apartment on East 72nd Street.  George and Jimmy being cold weather people probably did not know the Norwegian and Swedish consulates were nearby on East 49th Street in the Random House building owned by my roommate on the Farm at Lake Forest College's father.  Jackie Onassis also worked there.  The Danish consulate was just south on Second Avenue and the British consulate was just North on Third Avenue, and the Ford Foundation on East 47th Street took up a whole block.

08/18/23 Friday 2:55 A.M.  As a matter of dispute with Vermont Know It Alls, I have been up in Vermont in the winter.  Around Christmas Time 1969, I drove my 1967 Mustang Convertible with three speed shift on the floor from Boston on Route 2 West to Stratton, Vermont; where I met up with some Taft School classmates.  I used to be good at driving on snow.  If one has a three or four speed clutch car, one can down shift or up shift to get better traction on snow and ice which was the case, when I drove the 1971 Subaru through the Rocky Mountains going East in the late fall of 1978 in a two day blizzard.  I also was the snow driver while driving a taxi for a year and a half at night at Lake Forest College.  The Lake Forest taxis were three speed on the column clutch shifts on yellow Chrysler sedans.  I have never driven Interstate 90 out West, but in looking at it on a map, it goes through Montana which is a big state.  There used to be Truck Stops of America every few hundred miles on Interstate 90 in Montana, so I figured out, if one ever wanted to hide out in America in an invasion or nuclear war, one could drive between truck stops in Montana, and nobody would ever know where one was.  However, there are a lot of grizzly bears up that way which might not be user friendly.  At Lake Forest College after graduating in the summer of 1972, I met a member of the McCormick family from Illinois that own https://www.navistar.com/en which makes heavy duty all weather trucks, but they are more expensive than GMCs.  CIO

I went outside. 

I covered a dinner plate with three ounces of baby spinach leaves, then I added a drained and flaked five ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, four ounces of shredded parmesan cheese, a quarter of a diced red Bermuda onion, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and Ken's Lite Caesar dressing.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.

There is still the last I heard an unsettled law suit with the State of Texas calling Red Onions, "Bermuda Red Onion."  Bermuda Red Onions have a hot taste where Georgia Vidalia onions have a sweet taste.  On Lanzarote, they grow some sort of onions in the volcanic lava in the craters, but if they were old Kimberlite Volcanoes, they might find diamonds too.  However, diamonds are made of carbon, so they are not safe to hoard or keep, because they can burn; where as gold or platinum will only melt for better or worse.  However, I have learned with gold, once one starts using it for expenses, there is an experience group of people in this area whom are experts at stealing it like a lot of other valuable things like all of the hundreds of new cars stolen in Greenwich every year.  Insurance investigators know things that the local media do not cover.

I will now go outside.  CIO

08/17/23 Thursday 6:20 A.M.  Out on www.nantucket.net besides three years of pot scrubbing, dish washing, prep work, and cleaning up in various restaurants; I did learn a couple things about cooking.  The recipe for Portuguese bread is the same as French Bread, but the loaf is shaped differently.  Also to make an omelet, one needs an expensive seasoned aluminum eight inch frying pan.  Then one breaks three room temperature extra large eggs in a bowl and adds a few tablespoons of cream.  One then whisks it all together.  Then one puts the eight inch omelet pan on a gas burner at medium high with a few or more tablespoons of butter.  Once the butter melts and starts to bubble, one adds the egg mixtures.  Once it seems to be cooked on one side, one flips over fast to the other side, and lets the other side cook, until it puffs up a bit.  Then once both sides are cooked one adds cottage cheese or other items to one side and flips over one side of the other and slide it onto a plate.  It takes a bit of skill, one has to make sure one uses enough butter in the seasoned eight frying pan, so it does not burn.  One can put a few sprigs of parsley on it to make it look more colorful.  CIO

08/17/23 Thursday 5:30 A.M.  I ordered two USB 2.0 three feet extension cables https://www.ebay.com/itm/225201532279?hash=item346f0ead77:g:Wq4AAOSwpFljRc8p&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4ED%2FzvBcNZs1sqVqcDY07jKRAfwI9r9%2BiJcG6kZjgh%2BEeHEwLAE%2BdlWp8jhoec%2BBfLfOGfFGSp1Fj61b%2FRXlEft5jA0Vxml772sP47XrHFJURJgUsUdwpKSw5%2BiqMmkNVPRyty92mgYDGlKwOD6AcL1RJgWdN6OKwsEUTTgJLYQu4qDhWtD3E9uxsUjIufGVCBpXHhXl0NjU5814T7J3%2FopXtq5hMhMYr%2Fv%2BC6h4pZW7oCwJmxdv2mRh2W1tVE%2BkxGW%2FE07D3D%2Flcl%2BIvveHCUTW3ZHvTwau6lJ9Oz5ZALFQ%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9DioKzAYg for $6.68 total.

08/17/23 Thursday 5:05 A.M.  I noticed when I was living at Mrs. Florence Frances' boarding house at 31 India Street on www.nantucket.net , she had a copy of the Joy of Cooking cook book.  Before I threw out most of all my books, I had gotten a copy of the Joy of Cooking and the Fannie Farmer cook books from the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  For anyone who can not afford to drive to Ihop for unlimited pancakes for $5, here is recipe that shows how to make them at home https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/homemade-pancakes .  However, being diabetic, I only can use sugar free Cary's Vermont Maple Syrup which is available at the Stop and Shop here in town.  CIO

08/17/23 Thursday 4:30 A.M.  Back in October 1973, when the stock market crashed, I was fired as a waiter at Boodles restaurant in Greenwich.  I read in the New York Times a lot of the young jet set people where going to Le Jardin Discothèque near Times Square.  I drove in one night, and I met Fred Von Mierers and some of his jet set friends.  At the time Fred was modeling underwear for Sears, but within a few days, he was pictured shaking hands with Nelson Rockefeller in the society column by Eungina Shepard in the Daily News.  Since I knew Fred, and Greenwich was in economic decline because of the Arab Oil Embargo which was caused by Nelson Rockefeller stopping delivery of oil tankers to New York Harbor, I stayed in touch with Fred at his ground floor apartment at 420 East 49th Street now the German Consulate with a half million dollars of antiques.  Fred told me was taking over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business along with Fred's partner Taylor Sterling the architect of the Rockefeller ranch in Venezuela whom lived in Greenwich too.  At the time, Fred told me he was designing a beach cabana for Nelson Rockefeller's house in Bermuda.  I quit visiting Fred's apartment around February 1975, when life was too destitute in Greenwich and too hectic for me in Manhattan.  Back then if one could find gasoline, it was about $5 to fill the fuel tank at the Mobil station across the street from the Greenwich train station would last about a week.  After I had to get rid of my blue Volvo that I dented on the driver's side driving to the Darien rest area in blizzard to get fuel, I would drive my mother's 1971 brown and tan Monte Carlo sedan a number of times into Manhattan parking near Beekman Place on Mitchell Place overlooking the United Nations.  Nelson's brother John D. Rockefeller III lived at one Beekman Place, so there were a lot of people in the neighborhood familiar with their routines, when they happened to be there.  That is about all I know.  It is legal for the CIA to conduct clandestine intelligence in the United States, but I would imagine other countries do it around the United Nations.  My father knew Huntington Hartford the A&P grocery store heir that lived on Beekman place.  Fred knew David Wise who lived on Beekman place the author that wrote the book on the CIA.  He also knew the Shah of Iran's niece that lived on Beekman Place.  The current secretary of state also grew up on Beekman Place.  A wealthy Lake Forest College classmate John Binnegar also lived on Beekman Place.  Henry Kissinger lived just North of Beekman Place near the River Club on East 52nd Street, where Michael Bickford from Greenwich, and Gretta Garbor who worked for British Intelligence also lived.  Fred though his life was like the movie and play, "Auntie Mame."

08/15/23 Tuesday 11:50 P.M.  I went outside, and I drank my coffee.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.50, five 8 ounce packages of Stop and Shop shredded parmesan cheese for $1.99 each, four 8 ounce Stop and Shop grated parmesan and Romano cheese for $4.79 each, and a 48 ounce Florida Natural ruby red grapefruit juice for $4.29 for $34.90 total.  I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought two 250 count 1200 mcg bottles of Lecithin for $17.48 both.  I then drove down Greenwich Avenue as far as www.starbucks.com and back uptown my way and returned home.  I put away my purchases.  I put the grey bag back in the car, and I drank a brewed coffee outside.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 12:25 P.M.  The HP desktop that I just fixed got messed up some time ago, because I have a Hauppauge TV card in it which was connected to the Cable Box coaxial cable.  Some how it BIOS got messed up, and the F9 boot option still does not work, and twice its OS got messed up.  I guess it was messed up through the coaxial cable.  I have the coaxial cable disconnected now.  Now all four desktops at the far end of the oak dining table work just fine.

I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will eat a yogurt and a croissant, and then I will go to bed.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 11:45 A.M.  At the far end of the oak dining table, the upper right HP desktop now works just fine with the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus, Office 2021 and Norton Internet Security 360 like the one beneath it.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 11:10 A.M.  I took the Hirens BCD *.iso file, and I burned it to a DVD.  I was able to boot it on the defective HP desktop, and I did a low level format of its hard drive.  I could not use its copy of Aomei to restore the  backup from the new lower right HP installation, since it costs for Aomei, so on the primary computer, I created a Aomei Linux restore DVD with my older copy, and I booted it on the defective HP desktop, and I am restoring the new backup from the HP desktop on the lower right side of the stack.  Thus in ten minutes, I should have the defective HP desktop repaired except for renaming it back to its original name.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 8:55 A.M.  I fiddled with the defective HP to no avail.  I will now go outside and drink a cup of coffee.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 7:40 A.M.  I covered a dinner plate with three ounces of baby spinach leaves, then I added a drained and flaked five ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, four ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese, a quarter of a diced red Bermuda onion, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and Ken's Lite Caesar dressing.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.

08/15/23 Tuesday 6:05 A.M.  I worked on the four desktops in the stack on the far end of the oak dining table.  Three of them work fine, but the one in the upper right does work, but its bios boot option does not.  I worked with it for a long time to no avail.

I went outside, and I drank a coffee.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 1:55 A.M.  I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm .  Interstate 95 used to have rest areas in either directions in Darien, but I am not sure what restaurants are there anymore.  It used to be www.mcdonalds.com , but it might by Subway Sandwich now.  This https://www.ctserviceplazas.com/locations/darien-nb says it has both.  McDonalds at Exit 5 off Interstate 95 in Greenwich is opened 24 hours though. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 1:30 A.M.  The Bickfords in Greenwich are offering unlimited pancakes for $5 https://www.ihop.com/en/specials/65th-anniversary-all-you-can-eat , but one has to drive all of the way to the last Eastern exit in Darien on I-95 for the nearest Ihop, but it may not be there anymore.  There is one in downtown Stamford though.  In Laguna Beach, there was a 24 Denny's that everyone went to late at night.  CIO

08/15/23 Tuesday 1:15 A.M.  When I was up on www.nantucket.net , it was not too high tech.  There was a Radio Shack there.  One of the three beacons of the Loran Navigation System was on Nantucket which I think was run by the Coast Guard.  They did not have Cable Television let alone cell phone.  The microwave towers for the NORAD early warning system were also there.  For the fire station, they would blast a horn for different series of blasts which on a chart which every one had would show where on the island the fire was.  They did have Eastern Airlines jets practicing at Nantucket airport along with a lot of private jets.  The Cottage Hospital  provided basic care, but for more complicated procedures, they would fly patients to Hyannis or Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.  However, it was a low stress life for some of the rich people despite the continued stress I went through working in restaurants as a dish washer and pot scrubber six to seven days a week for 12 to 18 hours a day at the starting wage of $2.15 an hour up to $8.50 an hour, when I departed in December 1983 to return to Greenwich.  Still having worked in restaurants, I know a little bit about cooking which I do not feel like doing anymore.  I basically eat simple meals like salads and microwave some frozen meals.  If I try to cook something like a hamburger on the stove burner, it stinks up my small apartment.  The most complicated thing I have done recently is to use the Oster Convection over to cook a roast beef, when it is on sale.  It also is very good at cooking a pizza.  Instead of making my own French Bread dough in the bread machine for a  pizza crust which takes several hours, it is simpler to buy a cheap frozen pizza and put pizza sauce, shredded cheese, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, and spread extra virgin olive oil over it, and cook it in the Oster Convection oven for an improvised pizza.  I think the Oster Oven is named for Osterville on Cape Cod, where a  lot of very wealthy people have summer homes.  CIO

I will now go outside again.  CIO 

08/14/23 Monday 5:05 A.M.  I have the OS beta installed on the lower right desktop on the far end of the oak dining table.  I still have to configure it.  I was going to put my copy of Office 2007 on it, but the envelope behind the bedroom television containing the CDs from the Microsoft Conference, when I went to Manhattan about 20 years ago has disappeared.  I have not idea what happened to it.  I always left it there.  I bought https://royalcdkeys.com/collections/software-1/products/windows-10-pro-key-office-2021-pro-plus-key for $8.90 to put on it.

I will now go out for a cup of brewed coffee.  CIO

08/14/23 Monday 4:20 A.M.  On the beta partition on the Dell Studio XPS on the floor on the far end of the left side of the oak dining table, I installed and activated Norton 360.  I went to start up the beta on the lower right side of the desktop stack at the far end of the oak dining table which was to also have the beta on it, but it only had Vine OS on it.  I was able to get rid of Vine by booting the Hirens USB pen drive, and doing a low level format of it.  I am now installing the beta on it, which will take a while.  CIO

08/14/23 Monday 2:55 A.M.  On the four older 17.3 inch laptops with the Microsoft Windows 12 Canary beta rufus on them, I installed and activated Norton 360 on them.  I still have three Norton 360 product keys left.  I might need on for the Dell Tower on the floor at the far end of the oak dining table with the beta on it.  Norton 360 product keys that are still good but no longer used on a machine can be deleted and used on another machine.

I will now go outside for a brewed cup of coffee.  CIO 

08/14/23 Monday 12:45 A.M.  I went outside one.  On the stainless steel cart in front of the left living room closet, I activated Office 2019 on the Apple MacBook Pro laptop.  On the Apple Imac I already had Office 2019 on it, but on its seperate SSD drive in the external hard drive with a mirror image, I installed and activated Office 2019, and now I am installing the Apple App updates.  On the Apple Imac in on the shoe rack in front of the Queen Anne chair at the hallway entrance, I already have Office 2019 on it, but I booted its SSD drive in the external hard drive holder, and I am now installing Office 2019 on it.
I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  I have a friend that used to work for the Brazilian Tourist Authority.  Maybe in the warmer weather some of his friends came up to visit with the Aga Khan possibly.  CIO

08/13/23 Sunday 10:55 P.M.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two 6 ounce bags of baby spinach for $3.29 each, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.50, two four packs of Dannon Lite and Lively yogurt for $3.99  each four pack, and two 25 ounce Ken's Lite Caesar dressing for $3.99 each for $23.82 total.  I then went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $25.01 of self service premium gasoline for $4.899 a gallon for 5.105 gallons at odometer reading of124583 miles for 69.9 miles driven since Friday July 28, 2023 for 13.693 miles per gallon in local traffic.  I then returned home, and I put away my groceries.  I put the grey bag back in the car, and I drank a brewed coffee outside.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside again.  At the Stop and Shop, they have some sort of meat for buy one get one free.  CIO

I went outside once, and I went outside again.  CIO

08/09/23 Wednesday 3:25 A.M.  I only put Office 2021 on the two Dell 17.3 inch laptops.  To install the Office 2021 image download, one first has to select the right click option to Mount the image.  Then runs setup from the image file as an Administrator from right click, but then it downloads the latest version of Office 365 which takes a while.  Then one opens Word, and copy and paste the product key from the email or web site purchase from www.royalcdkeys.com , and activates it.  One can install it over the Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus version of Office 365 which charges $100 a year for five devices.  I am now making Aomei backups to an external hard drive of them.  Since all four 17.3 inch laptops are Windows 12 beta Canary Rufus installations, I worry that the betas might expire.  Since if I installed Windows 11 on them, I would not be able to upgrade the older laptops to final release of Windows 12 without doing a Rufus installation, since older machines to not work with Windows 12 regular.

08/08/23 Tuesday 2:35 A.M.  On Madison Avenue just east of the Pierre Hotel, there was a building occupied by Hertz Rent a Car and a insurance company that was supposed to be owned by the Kennedy family.  Just north of it about five blocks on the west side of Madison Avenue, there was an inexpensive restaurant, where one could breakfast for less than $3.  Further up Madison Avenue around 69th street on the east was a cafeteria, where one could get a five course dinner for about $4.  I guess there has been a bit of inflation, since the early 1970s, so I do not venture into Manhattan.  The last time I went to Manhattan for the Microsoft conference at the Sheraton Hotel at Broadway and 54th Street, where I saw Prince Charles in Grand Central Station with a thousand people around him that looked like Prince Andrew looking at the remodeled Grand Central Station, I brought my own baloney sandwich for lunch to the Microsoft Conference.  I sat in the back row, so I could go out to the street and smoke.  There were two blond youth sitting in front of my with the Roosevelt family look, and they ate big red apples at lunch time.  Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his personal resume does not say he was a lawyer, but an apple farmer.  I read in the 150th anniversary book of the Bank of New York that I bought at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift for $10 and gave to the Bank of New York in Greenwich, when it bought out Putnam Trust, that although Alexander Hamilton started the Bank of New York, it was with Eliahu Roosevelt's money.  I have been told the Roosevelt family do not have any money anymore, but Franklin's mother's family the Delano family had all of the money from the China trade.  Somebody told me, the Roosevelt family are just saving their money for the next generation.  The Bank of New York is supposed to have $27 trillion in custody accounts, and State Street Trust in Boston is supposed to have $17 trillion in custody accounts.

Paul Getty.  Nelson Rockefeller had an apartment on Fifth Avenue on the north side of the Pierre, where he would park his 1968 brown and tan Oldsmobile 98 with New York license plate 1908 on the street at the entrance.  When John Bolton and I were driving through Malibu, California on Labor Day in 1980, there were a lot of people on the beach mostly surfer types opposite the old Getty Art Museum.  When we tried to explore that Museum, it was closed on Labor Day, but I saw Fred Von Mierers walking out of it when it was closed, but John did not want to meet him.

I covered a dinner plate with three ounces of baby spinach leaves, then I added a drained and flaked four ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, four ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese, a quarter of a diced red Bermuda onion, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and Ken's balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.

When I met Vincent Butler in Santa Cruz, California; he gave a Fresca can with a transistor radio in it, which I mailed to my mother in Kennebunkport, Maine.  Vincent Butler had a nice California house on top of a mountain with lots of room, and over the fire place mantel was engraved, "Tuum Es," which means you are welcome.  At the health food restaurant at the University of California at Santa Cruz where I ate a number times, I once had something to drink there, and I felt so good, I went out into the redwoods and jogged about fifteen miles.  I thought they might have come up with some sort of concoction to make one feel good.  They did have a good chemistry department.  When I slept in my car in the parking lot though, I could feel the ground always shaking a bit.  Also in the gymnasium showers, there were big signs saying to limit showers to one minutes because of the shortage of water out there.  They had a language laboratory there with lots of recordings of famous people.  I listened to the Ernest Hemingway tape there about, "Fifth Columnists."   He spoke very slowly like he might have been very hot in tropical weather.

08/06/23 Sunday 12:25 A.M.  On the last trip to California with John Bolton in August 1980, when we drove west on Interstate 10 in the used Burgundy Volvo from Belgium that I bought from John Delia Subaru in Greenwich for $1750, we drove up the Pacific Coast Highway to Palo Alto, California and visited Stamford University.  I had a key palm coconut that I had picked up in Key West, so we left it on the steps on the botanical garden at Stamford University.  I can not recall whether we went to San Francisco are looked up Jimmy Eldert in Santa Cruz.  I do recall selling my box of tools with the Rockwell Circular saw for about $50 in Carmel, California.  We stayed in Carmel for a few days at the Normandy Inn for $79 a night.   We ate tornadoes which are filet mignons at an expensive restaurant on the main street of Carmel.  I recall driving west from the Inland Highway by lots of Union 76 oil wells on the Hearst Ranch.  We also drove down the windy Big Sur Highway to Santa Barbara, we camped out in the mountains near Ronald Reagan's ranch exploring the area around the University of California at Santa Barbara.  At the airport nearby they had the huge jet the "The Guppy" used for transporting off shore oil equipment.  After the hassle, when I was arrested, I almost lost track of John, but I found him and the car which he had moved on the University of California at Santa Barbara campus, where he had been exploring around.  We did buy a $10 Wal-Mart sleeping bag since it was cold sleeping in the mountains in the car near Reagan's ranch.  I recall exploring Point Conception where I tried surf casting there.  It was near Vandenberg air force base, and there was a train station stop there with nothing else around.  They grow a lot of cut flowers in the area.  On election day, we stopped by the Montecito Inn, and I saw the head lawyer for Combustion Engineering that had bought the house in back country Greenwich that I helped build.  I then sold my surfcasting rod and tackle box at the Shell Station on the highway for $10 in gasoline and drove down to Laguna Beach, where they were having a victory party for Reagan at the Coast Inn.  I recall eating at an expensive French restaurant there possibly on that trip.  After Joel put us up for that night, I recall the day after election day driving to Disney Land, where I learned there was a cash for you car place at the gate of Disneyland.  I sold the Volvo which was getting bad clutch for $1250, and then John and took a cab to Las Angeles airport and flew back to New York City, where we stayed with his mother at 315 West 74th Street with the white German Shepard and the Doberman Pincher.  John moved back out to Plandome Manor Island, when his grandmother got seriously burned from a match setting her night gown on fire and she had to do rehabilitation.  At the time my paternal Grandmother died around Christmas Time.  I did fly to Frankfort, Germany for three days, and I stayed in the apartment until February 1982, when I had to move out.  John's mother did not live there much, she had another apartment at the Carnegie Tower on the East Side.  The night Ronald Reagan first showed up in Manhattan at the Waldorf Astoria, I walked the white German Shepard through Central Park to the Waldorf, and the Secret Service photographed it with a Polaroid camera, and then we walked back through Central Park.  The white German Shepard walked me down West 71st Street, and at that time on West 72nd Street was when John Lennon had been shot at the Dakota where John's sister worked in the liquor store there.

I have not been back to California since then, although I have been back to Europe twice since the trip to Frankfort, Germany.  John's great grandmother was part of the Kaiser of Germany's consulate to New York City before World War One, so there were some Germans that knew the family.

08/05/23 Saturday 11:25 P.M.  I paid my apartment renter's insurance starting for another year in October 2023 for $179 for the whole year.  When I was in Laguna Beach were Warren Buffet also has a house, on the last trip in the old Volvo with John Bolton, Joel who had a nice house near the Coast Inn and put us up for the night, and for lunch the next day, he took John and I to lunch at Dana Point with his room mate the head of Camp Pendleton.  I guess I was so good on the previous trip when I flew teaching the Marines about agility training, they even built a discothèque at Camp Pendleton.  I imagined I was on the deck of an aircraft carrier directing jets to take off, when one has to be fast or playing some giant complicated machine with lots of levers.  I was pretty good at it at age 30.  I even wore out a pair of new Adidas sneakers with three green strips in three days, showing them my agility.  In the dry climate in Laguna Beach I felt ten years younger as opposed to being crippled with arthritis on the damp east coast.  Also on the previous trip when I flew at the Camel Point beach in Laguna Beach where there is a sewage outlet, there were about a dozen young Lufthansa flight attendants, but I don't speak German, so I could not chat with them.  I did meet somebody that thought I was the model for Levis blue jeans, but at that time like Jimmy Eldert, we were both wearing Lee Blue jeans.  On the trip that I flew, I left Jimmy Eldert in Santa Cruz, California and hitch hiked down to Carmel and then to Monterrey airport as I recall and back into John Wayne airport in Newport Beach, California.  I did noticed on that trip that there was a new company called Disco Vision next to the airport.  Also at the time, Fluor Construction out of Newport Beach was there, and they bought out Daniel Construction from Greenville, South Carolina, and moved to Irvine, Texas.  The construction people were building the twin nuclear reactors as Dana Point, which were closed a few years ago.

08/05/23 Saturday 10:15 P.M.  I rested until 8:15 P.M..  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I then went downtown to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two four packs of Chaboni cherry yogurt for $3.50 each four pack, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $2.99, a 48 ounce container of Florida Natural rub red grapefruit juice for $4.29, a 48 ounce Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk for $5.99, a six ounce bag of baby spinach for $3.29, and four Stop and Shop 20 ounce pineapple chunks for $1.69 each for $30.32 total.  I then returned home.  I put away my groceries.  I filed this report.

On my last trip to California, I did once not pay for $10 of gasoline at the Shell Station on the Pacific Coast Highway just south of the Hearst Castle San Simeon with the Nantucket Cove village on the waterfront.  I saw a lot of Shell Oil stations in California and Shell oil pumps in Huntington Beach.  I learned that Shell Oil to protect their refineries employ military mercenaries to protect them.

08/05/23 Saturday 8:10 A.M.  The Lincoln Memorial is also built out of Vermont Marble.  I was once told by John Bolton whose grandfather in Santa Rosa, California was a geologist from the University of Toronto that explored America for the oil companies that the Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountains on the planet earth worn down by millions of years.

08/05/23 Saturday 7:00 A.M.  The first discothèque I discovered was in Grenoble, France; where my friend from Greenwich and Carmel, California was going to the University of Grenoble and lived with two classmates from America in a small cottage next to a villa owned by the son of the governor of Eastern France.  He had an old barn in the back yard which late at night became a discothèque called Bird Land full of exotic birds which was full of International Students partying while the rest of the students at the University of Grenoble were rioting.  I collected a lot of names in my address book there, which I kept for a long time.  However, when I was in Santa Cruz, California after the trip to Maui, at the time when Lord Mountbatten was bombed in Ireland, I thought someone might be looking at my address book with random names, so I threw the address book in a dumpster at the University of California at Santa Cruz.  However, at the time in Laguna Beach, there were British people with one that looked like Lord Mounbatten playing Boci Ball on the hill overlooking the beach.  Ever on the United Flight from Las Angeles Airport to Hawaii, there was a woman on the flight that looked like Queen Elizabeth II, which flight went on to Australia.  At the Hyatt Hotel in La Haina on Maui, where I stayed there were lots of security in traditional British India Khakis. You know white shoes, white knee socks, white shorts, white shirt, and white pith helmet.  The place was full of Chinese Art.  I had the $80 a night assistant manager's room on the ground floor with air conditioning, and I pretended to be the assistant manager based on my travels.  I did watch Hawaii Five O on television.  Nobody knew where I was, so I called up a former relative, and told him where I was.  They had a lot of people there and a discothèque.  I would wear my pink linen slacks and a Greek Fisherman's shirt with my shirt tail out that Joel in Laguna had given me.  The Philippine people always wore their shirts out until the returned to the Philippines.  At the time, the American District Attorney's Association and the America Bar Association was having a convention there, so we were not doing anything illegal.  I learned Paul McCartney owned a bar in La Haina called, "The Blue Max."  It was very expensive there.  Once I was charged $80 for five shrimp scampi with a bottle of German wine.  For breakfast they served a lot of corn beef hash.  The swimming pool had a water fall that lead into an exercise room.  I was back then able to lift about 250 pounds.  I flew back to Hawaii after a week.  I paid my bill with a one ounce gold Canadian Maple leaf coin.  In Hawaii, I needed some money, so I took a $100 taxi to the entrance of Pearl Harbor where there was a coin shop, and exchanged some one dollar gold coins for cash and a two ounce Kaiser Wilhelm gold coin which I later cashed in Laguna Beach for cash.  I caught World Airways back to San Jose, and they would not rent me a car without a credit card, so while hitch hiking to Santa Cruz, I was picked up by Vincent Butler who put me up for a few days while his family was away in a very deluxe house.  We drank a lot of Vodka over the Labor Days weekend, and I showed him a lot of German March steps, I had seen in Hollywood movies.  He was a fourth generation California that had gone to www.mit.edu , and he wanted his son Buzzy Butler to go there.  When I returned to the University of California at Santa Cruz campus, I slept in a deserted dormitory, and that Sunday Morning, I went to a Russian Orthodox Service on campus, but after the service, I shook hands with the Russian Orthodox priest which I did not know people are not supposed to touch.  They arrested  me and threw me in a deluxe rehab place for three days with a lot of Iranians drinking orange juice.  When I got out, I called up Jimmy and he met me at the campus, and showed me a very deluxe house he had the key for.  He told me he had given the 1.5 ounces of gold to a Swedish couple, so they could return to Sweden.  I know the Dutch had a consulate in Santa Cruz, and I read about the King of Sweden being in San Francisco with the Royal Swedish Symphony.  I then flew back to Laguna Beach, where the head of Xerox Parc named Joel put me up at his beach house.  I recall flying back to New York City on Sabena Airlines from Belgium with a jet full of Roman Catholic Church nuns possibly from Europe.  On old coins, the American Numismatic Society is in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Post Office Federal building on Third Avenue and 54th street, so the government probably tracks various coins being traded in this country.

And of course the last trip across Interstate 10, when we sold the used Volvo at Disneyland and flew back.  On the round trip air flight in Laguna Beach by myself, I was around people from Disneyland, and I was trying to teach the theme park dancers how to dance better based on my New York City discothèque experiences.  Out in the hot weather in California the Disney Dancers were a little bit too slow.  I though I was Mickey and Donald in Manhattan from Fort Hood, Texas was Donald, and Jimmy was Jimmy Cricket.   But alas nobody remembers the Mickey Mouse Club in the old days or Spin and Marty, where they had an episode about how to break in a new pair of blue jeans.   I have three nephews who used to call me Uncle Scrooge, so I called them Huie, Dooie, and Louie which was one of my favorite comic books.

08/05/23 Saturday 4:35 A.M.  On the name Santa Cruz, it is very common in the Spanish World.  On the oldest map of the whole world, the Map of Magellan, the island of Nantucket is called Santa Cruz, so the Spanish might have been there first.  Maybe Jimmy Eldert from the Joy family in Boston and Nantucket got his Santa Cruz locations mixed up.  However, down in Key West where Fred Von Mierers had been there before me and had also had lived with Nixon's ambassador to Madrid, where I also saw Juan Carlos the then King of Spain who hunted in Spain with a friend of my elder sister, I thought Jimmy Eldert might have some sort of Spanish connection.  Juan Carlos' father lived in Argentina in Exile too.  I did see people from Argentina and Spain in Key West and Laguna Beach, California.  Maybe since Jimmy Eldert knew Princess Irene of the Netherlands, he might have some sort of Spanish Royalty connection too.  On the Dutch side, he is supposed to be from one of the oldest Dutch families in the New Amsterdam colony, which is why Helen Kress Williams who knew a lot about history said, we should keep an eye on him, when Fred and I met him at Le Jardin discothèque in Manhattan in October 1973.  I also know he worked for Queen Elizabeth II at her Sandriham Estate in England.  Being a gymnist he was good at riding horses too when I watch him and John from Bowden College ride horses on Nantucket beach on the south shore.  In Nantucket, I spotted him wearing a St. Andrews University tee shirt too, so he might have been in Scotland too.  Maybe with the name James with a Scottish connection, he might have been related to the exile King James of Scotland or Bonnie Prince Charlie.  With people with royal connections, they all have entourages, so they do not have to keep track of too many things themselves personally.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  My friend from Sao Paulo, Brazil does not mind if I drink too much coffee, since his grandfather owned twenty million acres of coffee plantation coming from one of the original Portuguese families in Brazil with a mother from Milan, Italy; where all of the rich Italian bankers are.  CIO

08/05/23 Saturday 3:45 A.M.  Between October 1978 and November 1980, I drove across country to California either 3.5 or 4.5 times.  1.5 times I flew.  In driving across country one has to know how to deal with the locals along the highway.  Since the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System has lots of people along the way trying to make money, one has to be cheap and inconspicuous.  During most of my trips across country and in California, I would go to local grocery stores and buy Colby cheese, yogurt, and orange juice to eat.  In some grocery stores, the dairy department is on the left side and in others, it on the right side.  California has a lot of fresh produce.  In Santa Cruz, California the local stores had big wooden barrels of corn chips.  To be honest I saw so much field corn and some cattle driving across country, I figured out; they might not mind if I ate some beef.  Twice in San Juan, Capistrano where Robert Schuler's son church was I took packages of two filet mignons and barbecued them on the grill in the mountain.  When in Santa Barbara on the last trip looking more wealthy in the used Volvo from Belgium, they arrested me for trying the same the trick, and John Bolton's mother had to Western Union me a hundred dollars to get me out of jail in Santa Barbara.  I saw one person in jail that looked like an old neighbor from Decatur, Alabama whose father was an expert in textile dieing.  Since my oldest sister in Tulsa at the time was neighbors of the Getty family, so I tried to be low key and inconspicuous, but I guess Polaroid advertised so much at a million dollars a minutes on the three major networks, they expected me to have money out West, and back then I did not even have a camera.  I did like driving the Zig Zag Pacific Coast Highway a number of times which demanded sharp driving skills.  Back at Polaroid in Cambridge, Ansel Adams who never left the U.S.A. had worked out of the Carmel, California area near Big Sur.  When all of the actors were on strike, I even saw somebody in Carmel that looked like Johnny Carson in a Rob Roy lumber jacket.  At a grocery store in Carmel, I did take four quarts of oil and an oil filter for an oil change, which they did not mind with all of the oil wells out there.  I can not recall which brand of oil, but it might have been Citgo.  One sees a lot of NAPA auto parts stores in driving across country.  However, in the 1971 Subaru yellow station wagon designed by Howard Hughes based on areonautics, it has many of the same parts as the cheap Datsun, so I could get oil change and tune up parts at any local K mart.  I also in Irvine, California bounced a $10 check at a bank with the full size cuts out of Roy Roger's at the bank entrance.  I was basically pretty honest, but when one is starving and on the move, one has to keep going, knowing one still has to drive back east sooner or later.  I only saw one Connecticut license plate in California, and the fellow looked like Jerry Jeffrey from Greenwich.  In Santa Cruz, California, I did see a Volkswagen Camper bus with Massachusetts license plates.  Nobody in California seemed interested in politics, but there was lots of traffic around the cities which I avoided.  Huntington Beach had oil wells where Robert Schuler's church was.  I did not visit my friend from Greenwich who lived in Carmel whose father owned the radio station there, since I figured he had a few friends keeping an eye on me.  He knows I can not surf.  They used to say, "Scott Don't Surf."  Jimmy Eldert lived in a top secret place near O' Neil's surf shop in Santa Cruz, California, when I visited him at his radio station, and since he was an Olympic Class Gymnastic Athlete, I figured he might know how to surf.  In Santa Cruz, he knew Peter Hubbard from Greenwich one of the oldest families in Greenwich and the family that started the Masonic order here.  He was majoring in law at U.C.L.A.  I did tour U.C.L.A. one evening and it looked quite prosperous.

Before I was declared disable in December, 1983; when I returned to Greenwich and had a full $7,500 medical physical at the old Greenwich Hospital; which determined I had a protein metabolic disorder, I had an exhausting routine on www.nantucket.net .  My routine consisted of waking up around 9 A.M. in the morning, and I would dress and clean up, and I would walked to the nearby Le Languedoc restaurant at 10 A.M., and I would work the lunch shift until 2 P.M..  I would sometimes make my omelet breakfast there.  I would then do a five mile jog each way out to the airport beach and take a short nap and jog back for the 4 P.M. shift.  I would eat my dinner at the restaurant then.  I would then work on prep work such as cutting onions, garlic and picking beans.  Around 5 P.M., I would start washing dishes until about 11 P.M..  I was sometimes given another meal.  I would work cleaning up the whole restaurant until 4 A.M., and then walk back to the basement on Hussey street to get about five hours sleep.  I did that about six days a week, but in the busy summer time, it was seven days a week.  On a day off, I would sometime buy a dollar bottle of French white wine, and sip it some place, where nobody would notice me.  In the busy time, the restaurant did about 250 meals at night.  Doing that for eight months straight when I was a bit younger and fitter kept me busy and surviving.  I did not know anyone other than the people that I worked with.  My salary was $8.75 an hour before taxes, and the waiters were suppose to give the dishwashers 15% of their tips which when divided up was not very much.  When I first started working as a pot scrubber out on Nantucket in the spring of 1977, I only got $2 an hour at the Gordon Folger Hotel.  I worked there the following year, before I changed to Le Languedoc.  All of the quarters that I worked at the Gordon Folger Hotel were never recorded on my Social Security Account, since I had been threatened constantly in South Florida, I did not give them my actual Social Security number.  Also the ten months I spent from April 1982 to February 1983 building the garage apartment for 12 hours a day at night with no days off except Christmas worked out to about 3600 hours for which I was paid $8,000 at the end of the project which works out to about $2.22222 an hour for hard work, and my Social Security was not paid for that project.  I was told when they were determining my disability income, if I had had four more quarters, I would have gotten the full amount of Social Security instead of SSI.  I started working in the summers at age 16, so I had a lot of previous low income work experience.

When I was starving in the spring of 1977 when I came out of Key West at 125 pounds down from 185 pounds the previous year in Greenville, South Carolina where General Westmoreland was from, I had thought about becoming a Trappist Monk at their place in Vermont where they make jams and jellies.  However, once Trappist Monks join the order, they can not leave the monastery unless called by the Pope.  I once met somebody on the Farm in Lake Forest, Illinois whom told me he was going to become a Trappist Monk.  In Lake Forest, they also had an old Jesuit Monastery near Lake Michigan that was brought over stone by stone from Europe a long time ago.  Also in McHenry, Illinois just west of Libertyville, Illinois during World War II, the Catholic Church in Chicago, the wealthiest dioceses in the worldwide Catholic Church build a huge administrative monastery complex in McHenry, Illinois in case the Nazis kicked the Catholic Church out of the Vatican in Rome, they would have a retreat in the Western Hemisphere.  Although I was not raised Roman Catholic, my paternal grandmother's Gard family that settled in York, Maine over four hundred years ago and ended up in down state Illinois as farmers were of the Roman Catholic faith.  Thus in America all of us are pretty much a mixture.  Her family were from Devonshire or Lincolnshire, England.

08/04/23 Friday 10:35 P.M.  On a minor note on the Illinois Central Railroad something that the Scott family from Illinois know a lot about, they have fifty thousand miles of track in America with a spur line from Montreal to New London, Connecticut that is not supposed to be in very good shape.  The Illinois Central Railroad was bought out by the Canadian National Railroads, and there largest stockholder in the Canadian National Railroads is Bill Gates of Microsoft.  However, if one ever wants to figure out what goes on in colder Canada, a good place to start out at is the https://www.library.yorku.ca/web/scott/ just west of Toronto in the suburbs.  It used to be opened 24 hours a day except Christmas, but I guess the Canadians in the warmer weather like to explore their vast country full of Grizzly Bears like up at https://www.banfflakelouise.com/ which is now owned by the Japanese.  However, the Canadian National Railroad https://canadiantrainvacations.com/across-canada?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=CTV_USA_Search_Priority_c&utm_content=Trans_Canada_Train&utm_term=cross%20canada%20train_p&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItuz23bnEgAMVN_CUCR1EMQjkEAAYASAAEgKqrvD_BwE has trips across the Continent in the warmer weather.  The former head of the windsurfers in Greenwich it is heard settled in the warmer area on the West Coast of Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia.  One can also drive across America and take the Alaska highway up to Alaska, but there are probably a lot of bears that way too.  About twenty years ago, I saw a Rolls Royce from Alaska in Greenwich in the winter.  There used to be North American Inuit Indians in Greenwich in the winter working https://study.com/academy/lesson/inuit-tribe-facts-lesson-for-kids.html since it was not too cold for them here.  Big Samoans with lots of body fat used to work in Greenwich in the winter, and when we used to have lots of snow, there were a lot of French Canadians down here working moving snow and working the power lines, but one has to pay them.  They used to have a large pile of salt or sand stored at the Byram Shore Beach for road maintenance in the winter.  When I lived in New Canaan, and I got bored one winter day, I drove from there up the New York Thruway to Canada, and I crossed into Canada, and I bought a big bottle of Duty Free Gran Manier liquor, and then I drove down the same way with a stop at the Lake Placid Winter Olympic site the week before the Winter Olympics there, but nothing was happening there.  The roads were clear in my old $150 1971 yellow Subaru wagon from www.nantucket.net.

The last time I visited Manhattan http://scott-mike.com/mls-030408/ , I walked right up to King Charles when he was viewing the remodeled Grand Central Station.  Alas, although I speak English with a Dutch accent, not many people whom speak English here in Greenwich chat with me, since they seem to think I have a huge network in the British network, but my only contact is the grandson of the last of Queen Victoria's honor guards.  I have never visited the United Kingdom, but I have seen other people that speak English in other parts of the world.

07/30/23 Sunday 3:25 A.M.  Not much happening in the extreme southwest corner of the third smallest state in the nation from my view point.  We generally spend the summer months getting ready for the colder weather to come.  However, we some times have a longer fall with moderate temperatures.  I usually do not disconnect my expensive air conditioners until the third week of October.  However, some times we get very cold weather in the first week of December. 

https://unofficialnetworks.com/2023/07/19/2024-farmers-almanac-forecast/

I have a relative that lives near Boston, so that is probably my furthest north relative and her husband is from Minnesota which gets Polar Vortexes, so they probably know how to deal with the colder weather in Boston.

I once met somebody from Minnesota that lived above the bakery in Irvington, New York; which had a bit of extra heat.  When I met him, I told him on one cold night in White Plains, New York, I was from Frost Bite Falls, Minnesota.  He was not familiar with the cartoon series, "Rocky and His Friends."  When I worked at the Le Languedoc restaurant out on Nantucket, most of the waiters in the summer were from the Stowe, Vermont ski patrol, where it can be minus 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit on top of the mountain.  Another cold weather friend is older, and recently he has been looking at real estate on the internet in Florida which doubled in price in a year.  The Sons of Oslo moved out of Byram, Connecticut to a new lodge in North Salem, New York by the Hardscrabble Road exit on Interstate I-684.  I think it just northwest of that exit.  We have Norwegians in the area, and they do not seem to mind the warmer winters here.  www.dartmouth.edu used to have the www.army.mil extreme cold weather institute.  Most people in Hanover, New Hampshire and areas around there have to work two jobs, and the second job is just to pay for their utility bills in the winter.  Also cold weather people expect to be paid for the work they do in the winter, when the sun birds run south.  Scott U.S.A. used to be headquartered in Sun Valley, Idaho; which can be real cold with nasty Mountain Lions around.

!!!!!! Nobody pays attention to this https://www.avo.alaska.edu/ , but it can make it colder in the North Country.  When Mount St. Helens https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/cvo  erupted on May 8, 1980, the net effect in Manhattan, when I was living around 315 West 74th Street a few blocks west of the Natural History Museum is around February 1982, when I had to move out at the last moment it was a very cold winter with the global cooling from Mount St. Helen's eruption https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/new-york/year-1982#january , but with the wind chill out of the Northwest then, it was supposed to be a wind chill factor of minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.  I stayed with Bobby Fink above a small church on East 52nd Street for a week, before he had to leave for St. Barth's.  With my last $100, I flew down to Key West; and showed up homeless without money again down there.  There were so many people down there with the cold weather up north, I sort of got lost in the shuffle.  I stayed briefly with a cheese man from Wisconsin, a Military Policeman from Costa Rica, somebody that looked like Prince Andrew from Canada, and somebody that lived in a small hut, a Navy medic from New Haven that knew Lowell Weicker, and two men in a trailer that looked like Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and then I was left on the beach next to the Casa Marina Hotel chatting with a young boy that looked like John James Audubon, and the following morning a Key West Policeman arrested me for being a Nazi, although I am half Dutch, and it took three months of government confusion to get me back up to Connecticut, and when I was released, I went out to Vivian West's at 21 Circle Drive in Plandome Manor, Long Island, and I was paid $8,000 for building the garage apartment for ten months working twelve hours a day mostly at night.  Vivian's mother had been part of the Kaiser of Germany's consulate to Manhattan before World War One, and her daughter I lived with in Manhattan was Cyrus Vance's head of word processing in his law firm after he was secretary of state, and her ex son in law was a software engineer with the State Department in Libya, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia.  I did not know at the time that my classmate from www.lakeforest.edu was living in Sand's Point at W. Averill Harriman's sister's garage apartment.  She was my friend's aunt.  There are a lot of people out on Long Island, but I did not make any new friends, I was so busy working.  Vivian West was a neighbor of Mr. Grumman of Grumman aircraft, when they were making New York City buses back then.

07/25/23 Tuesday 1:45 P.M.  I afforded the second trip to California by building a basement playroom for $400 for a sister elsewhere during Three Mile Island nearby.  That is where I learned about the Muppets whose creator used to live on Steamboat Road here in Greenwich.  I recall making a third trip to California with John Bolton.  I recall working in April around 1979 in Nantucket, and then we left and drove out West in the summer on Interstate 70 West through the Rockies, but maybe we cut back and drove up to Laramie, Wyoming and through the Sierra Nevadas and returned to Daytona and back to Port Washington.  I recall driving through Reno, and in Truckee, California there was six inches of snow in August.  Maybe I made a sixth trip to California with John that I can not recall.  I was in Wyoming once in October when it was minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but when we camped out for a night in the Rockies it was summer. Once one starts driving it is only six days across country.  The $150 used yellow Subaru from Nantucket had a Polaroid sticker on its mirror, and it had been in Dillon, Colorado where on the first return trip through the Rockies in a blizzard, I found two used Continental snow tires with studs in the Sears tire dump that the Vail Amaco station put on for $2.50 apiece.  At www.lakeforest.edu , I knew Jan Gates from Denver whose family owned Gates Tires and Rubber which also made fan belts.  I saw a lot of their products in traveling around America.  CIO

07/25/23 Tuesday 12:50 P.M.  On all of the new attention on Las Alamos in the new movie, I recall on my second trip to California by myself, I was driving west on Interstate 10, and I decided to go to San Francisco, and I looked at my Rand McNally map that I had bought at a Firestone tire store.  I noticed a short cut on Route 666 which was a dark two lane road at night.  I picked up a hitch hiker with a surfer type look, and we chatted on the drive, and I dropped him off at Berkeley, California.  According to Google maps, where I picked up the hitch hiker was near Las Alamos, and there is also a British Aerodrome there too, so the British were also doing something out there.  On the west coast I hung around Jimmy Eldert's friends in Santa Cruz, California.  I also drove north as far as Fort Bragg a half day drive north of San Francisco.  I hung out around the Pan Am VIP lounge at San Francisco airport, and I saw the head of the CIA Admiral Stanfield Turner.  I read the guest book of the new first flight of Pan Am to Shanghai, and Mrs. Honeywell from Wellesley, Massachusetts name was on the guest book, and I knew Honeywell made the computers for NORAD, so I worried that the Chinese might reverse engineer the NORAD command system.  I gave Jimmy four passwords for some sort of the computer system, which passwords that I can not remember. Somebody told me I better get back east, so I drove down the inland highway to Interstate 10 East.  Around Las Alamos, I picked up two hitch hikers from my current home Byram in Greenwich.  I was arrested for a night for not paying for $10 in gasoline where the first Standard Oil well was in Texas.  I then drove to San Antonio, and I looked at the Alamo.  I then drove into Kelly Air Force base which was on alert for the Iran Hostage rescue mission.  I then drove down to Key West and around and back up to Port Washington, Long Island; where John Bolton's father Peter Bolton lived near the Port Washington police station.  He was a software engineer in the State Department.  I recall being there that winter with a number of trips to New Canaan to visit my mother and step father.  I guess I was a Road Warrior.  I recall putting new brake drums on the Subaru while there. There also was an Exxon station nearby, and A&P store, and a dairy store.  We watched a bit of black and white television with rabbit ears.  I saw Admiral Stanfield Turner at the Sheraton Hotel after the first Reagan inaugural.  He was from Highland Park, Illinois.  The Admiral of the Sixth Fleet, when I lived in Italy, and he died out in Seattle.  Thus I have only been as far North on the West Coast as far as Fort Bragg.  I also recall touring Stamford University a couple of times, but I can not recall which trips.

07/25/23 Tuesday 5:30 A.M.  Uncle Charlie's bar on Greenwich Street in Greenwich Village was across the street from the mayor of New York's apartment Ed Koch, so they had fairly good security.  Laguna Beach, California was near the Marine bases of Camp Pendleton and El Toro, so there were a few Marines around.  CIO

07/25/23 Tuesday 5:00 A.M.  On my second to the last trip to California in July 1980, I flew from Westchester Airport to John Wayne Airport in Newport Beach, California.  They would not rent me a car, since I did not have a credit card.  They did give me a limousine ride from the airport to the Coast Inn in Laguna Beach though.  I did fly up to San Francisco once or twice and back.  I also flew to Hawaii and then to the Hyatt Hotel in Maui for a week's rest during a hurricane in Houston.  I had been on the tennis court at the River Club in Kennebunkport with the Bush family after he got the republican vice presidential nomination, so I figured I would put a lot of distance between me.  At the Hyatt Hotel I paid my hotel bill with a one ounce gold coin.  I also stopped by Santa Cruz, California to see Jimmy Eldert.  That night when he was working as a disk jockey with an open microphone at the Catholic Church radio station in Santa Cruz broadcasting to Fort Ord, I gave him one and a half ounces of gold to aid the poor republicans in California.  They reason I was using gold at the time instead of American Express travelers checks, every airport I went through had a Dek Perra gold exchange.  From June 1980 to August 1980, gold went from $225 an ounce to $825 an ounce.  I thought when I was robbed in Port Washington, that somebody had might followed me back from California, even now California Ebay advertises gold coins all of the time.  My stepfather's father supposedly was the president of Newmont Gold Mining, and I had studied gold in economics at www.lakeforest.edu when a friend's father James Warburg had a falling out with Roosevelt, when he was under secretary of the treasury under Andrew Mellon over the gold standard.  At Lake Forest College, gold was only $32 an ounce, and even in Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972, they sold gold on Ponte Vechio for $32 an ounce, but nobody was interested in it.  Also down in Key West, the people that John Bolton and I were around in the winter of 1978 found a billion dollars of Spanish Gold in the treasure of the Atocha.

I have a theory that since Ghost Motorcycle in Manhasset, Long Island was owned by somebody from Fairchild Semiconductor which is also at the Portland, Maine airport that the five ounce Swiss Credit bar that was stolen might have had a tracking device in it.  The old Volvo that I had bought that day at John Delia Subaru in Greenwich probably did not have a tracking device on it, but with Greenwich who knows.  How could I afford the gold was fairly simple.  Where John and I were house sitting in New Canaan in the winter of 1980 when we did not have any money during the famous ice storm, I was driving to Greenwich Village every night to the pub Uncle Charlie's near Ronald Reagan's son's apartment where all of his friend hung out.  One day John told me he was looking for a bar of soap in the upstairs closet, and he found an old coin collection.  I looked at it.  Most it was in little grey envelopes were over ninety percent gone.  There just some fifty cent Kennedy half dollars and old pennies.  The Kennedy half dollars were worth about $5, and I went to Sam Sloat's in Westport to exchange them for cash.  Later on it turned out the old pennies were not pennies although they looked like that, but were one dollar gold coins worth $225 apiece which helped finance the lost gold and the last two trips to California.  Alas Ronald Reagan did win, and I saw him at the Waldorf Astoria after the election, and I went to inaugural, but when I flew down to Washington D.C. two months later, and I flew back with Ed Messe the new attorney general, he told me it was too dangerous in the Greenwich Village and Chelsea areas of Manhattan, where there is a lot of Italian Mafia, so a year later I moved out of Manhattan.  I did once cash a $20 American Express traveler's check at Uncle Charlie's on Greenwich Street in Greenwich Village, so they knew my address in New Canaan next to the New Canaan police station.  All I can figure out is that Jimmy Carter's group of people were trying to stop the republicans from winning.

One of my connections with Key West was I first drove down there from Fort Lauderdale on Halloween in 1976 with Brian Hibbs from Cheshire, Connecticut.  The whole town was boarded up, and the Monster Disco was opened with Rotten Robbie's piano bar.  We returned to Fort Lauderdale after a day.  During the first part of 1977, when my car was towed for too many parking tickets at the Swimming Hall of fame, I took a Greyhound Bus down to Key West without my car.  I recall hitchhiking back and forth to Fort Lauderdale a couple of times, but I was basically homeless in Key West.  Around the first of February 1977, Jimmy Eldert showed up from the University of New Hampshire after a State Department tour of Russia.  I was still sleeping outside, but after a month or so, Jimmy put me up with him in trailer next to the Boca Chica Navy base ground to air missiles.  Jimmy knew Chris Ray who was the contractor on the initial renovation of the Case Marina Hotel.  I was around that area a lot, so I would hire people to work on the project for five dollars an hour.  I only weighed 125 pounds after starving in Florida since the third week of September in 1976, when I arrived in Fort Lauderdale.  I left Florida around the middle of April 1977 with Jimmy Eldert, when I got six month of unemployment checks.  We visited Hurley Haywood in Jacksonville, and then I gave Jimmy $400 to fly up North, and I drove back North to Greenwich and then to the University of New Hampshire and Nantucket with side trips to Dartmouth College and Stowe, Vermont.  That winter, when I quit my dishwashing job at Le Vielle Maison in Boca Raton, and I flew to Nassau in the Bahamas for a few days, when I returned to Fort Lauderdale in February 1978, and I hitchhiked back down to Key West.  Jimmy Eldert was there, and I met John Bolton from Manhasset, Long Island, and he told me he was the architect on the Casa Marina project.  He had the key to the hotel, so we stayed there at night with 200 stray Hemingway six toed cats, when the construction people were not there.  We remained there until around the first of May 1978, with a four day side trip on the Appilation trail.  Back in the winter of 1979, when John and I were living with his sister in Daytona, we returned to Key West for a day.  Back in August 1980, John and I drove down to Key West, but we kept on going across country to California on my last trip across country.  When I returned to Key West in February 1982 when it was minus 26 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in Manhattan, the Casa Marina Hotel project was all completed, and it looked quite deluxe.  After a week there, I was arrested because of a false computer report on me.  All I can figure out in August 1980, my United States passport, Connecticut driver's license, and eight ounces of gold, and $200 in cash were stolen from me when it was in my Jansport back pack in the used Volvo that I drove to California.  American Express told me my passport was being used in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.  I was at John's father's house in Port Washington, Long Island, when I saw four blond boys on motorcycles with Connecticut plates behind my car, and when I got back to New Canaan, the back pack was gone.  Thus I have not been back to Key West, since the winter of 1982.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

07/10/23 Monday 10:50 P.M..  I moved the kitchen Insignia 24 inch Smart TV remote control to the bedroom desk, where the LG sound bar remote is also located.  One has to turn on the LG sound bar with the LG sound bar remote control for the 24 inch Insignia Smart TV in the bedroom window to have sound.  It is a very cool location with the LG 7,000 BTU portable air conditioner at that location.

Thus "Ninth Circle TV Repair" is back at full power.  The Ninth Circle Pub on West Ninth Street in Greenwich Village was where some of the younger people from CBS Broadcasting used to hang out listening the very good jute box.  Next in the basement on the west side was a 24 hour TV repair shop, where one could get TV parts in the early 1970s.  When I used the apartment on  West 20th Street for four months in the winter of 1974, I was able to find a small vacuum tube to repair the 1950s black and white RCA TV in that apartment across the street from the Anglican Seminary where there were also Long Shoremen in the neighborhood on the waterfront.  The Anglican Seminary was also near the Seaman's Church as I recall.  Back then the waterfront of the Chelsea neighborhood had about a four block long warehouse for maintenance of the New York City buses and the New York City garbage trucks.  It was on the same street as the New York City police academy and a few blocks east Metropolitan Life Insurance had a big building that took up a whole block.  The area has since become more deluxe with the Whitney Museum on West 14th Street.  CIO

07/10/23 Monday 9:45 P.M..  On the Insignia 24 inch Smart TV in the bedroom window, I was able to do a hard reset by unplugging it, and then holding the power button on the bottom center of the TV and plugging it in and releasing the power button once the startup screen appears and then going through the prompt screen to do a clean reboot and refresh the cache.  It now works fine, and it will have its own TV remote control in a couple of days.  I set it up the same way. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

07/10/23 Monday 7:50 P.M..  I went by the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a five gallon bottle of Primo Vermont Spring water with bottle return for $7.49.  I then went to my 3:30 P.M. appointment.  I then returned home.  I brought up the 42 pound bottle of water with my little folding cart, and then I put the cart back in the car.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I went outside twice more.  The orders with tracking of https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=qhjgmvlmprkpwn&orderId=114-6616033-0034632&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=220543062273301 and https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=qgspoullroqvwn&orderId=114-6616033-0034632&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=220537127309301 for two https://www.amazon.com/MT-ViKI-Splitter-Support-HD1080P-Adapter/dp/B07T67CLB7/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2IL78ALLLEHB5&keywords=hdmi+4+splitter&qid=1688917150&sprefix=HDMI+4+sp%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-3 for $16.14 each and a https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Control-Compatible-Insignia-Function/dp/B09SDF9M83/ref=sxin_17_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.6fd80408-71b6-44da-b059-082bba9089d3%3Aamzn1.sym.6fd80408-71b6-44da-b059-082bba9089d3&crid=3QV5PBYSHZZZX&cv_ct_cx=insignia+24+inch+smart+tv+remote&keywords=insignia+24+inch+smart+tv+remote&pd_rd_i=B09SDF9M83&pd_rd_r=44fae05c-9178-48f7-9bff-3bda9874376a&pd_rd_w=HiiUp&pd_rd_wg=xdadE&pf_rd_p=6fd80408-71b6-44da-b059-082bba9089d3&pf_rd_r=VTRDMDRMZWKQD0SPWEYH&qid=1688917311&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=Insignia+24+inch+smart+tv+remote%2Caps%2C111&sr=1-4-364cf978-ce2a-480a-9bb0-bdb96faa0f61-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&psc=1 for $10.99 and $2.74 tax for $46.01 total and with tracking of https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=qgsnrvkroqprsn&orderId=113-4464986-6465045&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=220529461816301 for four Wishbone Blue Cheese Dressing https://www.amazon.com/Wish-Bone-Salad-Dressing-Chunky-Cheese/dp/B01MRD94E9/?tag=dc-kevink-20 for $1.79 each for $7.16 total off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps Card and with tracking of https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=qgsnpwpmmjnnwn&orderId=113-2106396-5427423&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=220479847840301 for two Levis shorts in waist 52 inches  in khaki https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMJ1477/ref=twister_B0C2JLZSVK?th=1&psc=1 for $19.99 each and $2.54 tax for $42.52 total and with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9374811015300087663365 for two B 12 https://www.us.pipingrock.com/products/b-12-1000-mcg-220-tablets?_pos=4&_sid=f32713b61&_ss=r for $8.45 each and https://www.us.pipingrock.com/products/rna-dna-100-10-mg-200-quick-release-capsules for $26.99 and $4.95 shipping for $49.15 total arrived. 

I put on one of the pairs of shorts on, and they are a bit large, but will probably shrink when  washed. 

I put the blue cheese dressing in the bookcase at the kitchen. 

The remote control did not work on the 24 inch Insignia in the bedroom window.  The bathroom remote control for the same TV does work.  I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P39R5XM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for $10.61 total.  However, the 24 inch Insignia TV in the bedroom window has quit working.  Maybe when it cools down from the afternoon sun, it will work. 

In the bedroom TV setup, I replaced the old HDMI splitters with the two new four HDMI splitters, and now the bedroom TV setup works the way it used to. 

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.

07/07/23 Friday 10:35 P.M..  When I used Fred Von Mierer's apartment at 420 East 49th Street from October 1973 to February 1975, he had taken over Billy Baldwin's interior decorating business along with Taylor Sterling from Greenwich who was from Greenwich and the architect who had designed the  Rockefeller Ranch House in Venezuela.  Around February 1975, he had me and his friend George Nichols from  Greenwich who was the assistant editor of the New York Times move Helen Kress Williams on three zero degree nights from her gate house on her 40 acre estate to a rental house next to the Locust Valley Fire House.  Helen William's main house had burned down in the 1930s, but her 40 acres were on Long Island Sound near Sagamore Hill and Abby Rockefeller's estate.  Helen was Fred Von Mierer's godmother.  Her son was Claude Williams from Houston who was the  largest highway contractor in America.  She was from the Kress family that owned Kress Department stores and had the Kress Art Collection.  She was also the head of the board of trustees for the Brooklyn Museum, had the head table at the Opera Guild at Lincoln Center and paid for the Antiques show at the Armory on Park Avenue.  She knew both Teddy Roosevelt's daughter Alice Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt.  While moving her when Freddie was not around, I chatted with her.  She told me that I should not be afraid of Nelson Rockefeller that Freddie had been photographed with in the New York Daily News.  Fred supposedly was designing a beach house bungalow for his house in Bermuda.  She also mentioned that in 1882, when the volcano Krakatoa erupted, the aftermath was a 15 foot snow fall in Manhattan, and it even snowed there in July, so it was colder.  She also mentioned that she was friends with Rose Kennedy, and the erupting volcanoes in Iceland had caused the Irish Potato famine.  Helen was the head trustee of Vassar College, so she knew a lot of influential women.  She also told me we had to keep an eye on Jimmy Eldert, so I assumed she knew his founding Dutch family of New Amsterdam.  About a month later, Helen was driving out to Locust Valley, and she was killed in a car wreck.  I was told that in July 1975 on www.nantucket.net by Charlie Muller a friend of Fred's whose father was the head of the New York FBI.  What is sort of strange is when I was in Key West from October 1976 until April 1978 on an off, when not on Nantucket, I saw an older woman that looked like Helen Kress Williams, and there was a Kress Department store on Duval Street in Key West that later became called, "Fast Buck Freddie's."  Helen Williams had Fred Von Mierers attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace, where he met Mick Jaeger.  I did once see a picture of Helen Williams at a society event out in Santa Barbara.  She also used to help organize the International Debutant Ball.  Her Manhattan apartment was across the street from Halston's showroom, whom she helped start in business.  She also told me during World War One, she was traveling on a train Europe, and she met a young man who was trying sell little boxes of Tide Detergent, and he went on to become the President of Proctor and Gamble the soap company that owned all of the Soap Operas on television.  She told me during World War Two, she and her church friends were told to plant poison ivy around all of the churches in case the Germans invaded.  She would make an A&P tea bag last a week, and then used the old tea bags in her garden.  After I helped move her, she came out to Greenwich with the whole Long Island Garden Club, so she might have known somebody out here.  Oyster Bay is directly South of Greenwich on the North Shore of Long Island.  Fred once when he was busy also had me take Helen Williams to the head table at the opera guild at Lincoln Center, and she was connected well enough that a New York City bus picked us up at her apartment and dropped us off at Lincoln Center and returned us.  He also had me take her once to Carnegie Hall, where we sat behind Stewart Mott the General Motors heir.  So I think Fred and Helen knew quite a few people back then.  I was also told the Old Guard in Manhattan have a formal Waltz every night at some undisclosed location.  Also Billy Baldwin looked like the Duke of Windsor and knew him.  Billy Baldwin vacationed on Nantucket from the 1930s.  Also in February 1974, I also threw a party in a warehouse across the street from CBS News on West 57th Street.  I arrived with my mother and younger sister and Helen and Fred.  At the party, I met the grandson of the Emperor of Japan.  It was a $5 a head party with all that one could drink.  There was a blizzard that night, when we were driving around New York City.

I will now go outside again.  CIO
