I will now go outside again.
11/21/24 Thursday 11:10 A.M. I rested a bit. I had my fire marshal inspection. The lights and the computers are all right. He thinks I have too many low voltage devices plugged in, but I need them for the telephones, the television sound bars, the bathroom electric tooth brush, water pik, and electric shaver, the weather station, the Alexa displays, the Google display, the two internet radios, the tablet, Kindle reader and the cell phones. I also need extra power strips for the fans in the hot weather. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee.
11/21/24 Thursday 9:40 A.M. I woke up at 8 A.M. I made my bed. I went outside. We finally got a lot of rain. I ate my usual breakfast of pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese croissant, two English muffins with Smart Balance spread, diet cranberry juice and vitamins and supplements, and an instant coffee outside. I chatted with a friend.
11/20/24 Wednesday 9:50 P.M. I watched more of the Greenwich Town meeting about the proposed ice rink. Maybe they could put a new ice rink where the Greenwich Country Day School ice rink is north of the Greenwich High School. I went outside.
I will now shut down the HP laptop, and I will go to bed. I have to be up at 8 A.M. tomorrow morning, since all of the apartment in the building are going to be inspected by the Greenwich Fire Department. Then I might get back on a night schedule again. I suppose tomorrow somebody might be taking the entire upcoming Thanksgiving Week off too.
11/20/24 Wednesday 8:40 P.M. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. On channel 79, I have been watching a Town Meeting about the proposed new ice skating rink. I quite frankly think they should put the new ice rink on the north field of Greenwich High School, where it is more central to the rest of the town.
11/20/24 Wednesday 7:45 P.M. I am about to eat a 11.5 ounce Swedish meatballs dinner with a 15 ounce can of sliced carrots with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.

On the way back, I noticed they are working on the gas pumps on the road side of Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue. I then put my food away. I put the grey bag back in the car. I sat outside. I will now go outside again.
11/20/24 Wednesday 5:45 P.M. The British are really thin, so the ambassador to the Court of Saint James should be a thin person like my friend whose grandfather was the last living member of Queen Victoria's Honor guard. I will now go downtown to Green Witch Avenue and forage around. With my Dutch connections, I could be ambassador to the Netherlands, but I would be looking for a bathroom every hour or two, but I also have six years of high school French for ambassador to Paris.
11/20/24 Wednesday 5:20 P.M. I picked up the mail. I got my Greenwich Department of Social Services holiday aid card for $25 at the local Stop and Shop. I chatted with a friend. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. My friend that lives ten minutes from Joe Biden in Delaware could be the new United States ambassador to the Court of Saint James, since although W. Averill Harriman's sister was his aunt, his father was a Republican and started Jack Kemp in politics up in Buffalo, New York. He also attended the George H.W. Bush inaugural with myself and a friend. He is also a cold weather person coming from East Aurora, New York on the Canadian border. He has Canadian contacts also.
11/20/24 Wednesday 2:55 P.M. The Scott family have been around since the earliest days of New Amsterdam. According to one of oldest books in Greenwich Library listing all of the settlers in Manhattan in 1700, there were two Scott family farms in Manhattan in 1700. However, they only had daughters, and one of those daughters married into the Jay family, so the Scott family property in Manhattan became part of the Jay family property in Manhattan. One of the Scotts was the sexton of one of the earliest Dutch Reform churches in Manhattan, and I think his farm in Manhattan was on the Hudson River. Another Scott family member had one of the earliest farms in Princeton, New Jersey which is marked by historical markers there. The Scott family were also a first family of Virginia, and there is still a Scott family plantation in Virginia. The Windfield Scott family town house is still west of Fifth Avenue on 13th Street in Greenwich Village, and is now the Italian studies center for New York University. It is across the street from the Forbes building. I know the neighborhood, but most of the people in that area are interested in Wall Street not History of the founding families of New York City.
I will now go outside again.
!!!!!! 11/20/24 Wednesday 2:15 P.M. Although Connecticut does not have any volcanoes the last time I looked, we have Governor Lamont of Connecticut, and his wealthy New York family donated the Lamont Observatory at Columbia University. I think it is over in Rockland County, New York across the Hudson River. So Connecticut does have a volcano connection https://lamont.columbia.edu/ . One of my few friends who lives near Joe Biden in Delaware has a brother whose wife is Ned Lamont's wife's sister.
I will now go outside again.
11/20/24 Wednesday 1:10 P.M. I will now go outside and drink another instant coffee.

The dried appricots are no good, so I think I will throw them away. They are like hard card board.
11/19/24 Tuesday 10:00 P.M. My old volcano directory http://scott-mike.com/volcanoe06.htm .

I then sat out across the street in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park. The Holiday lights are lighted up on Greenwich Avenue. I then used the bathroom at CVS. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue as far at www.starbucks.com . I then went by www.mcdonalds.com on West Putnam Avenue. I bought two double cheeseburgers and two small French fries for $8.78 total. I then returned home. I had a picnic on the picnic bench on the East side of my building. I then used the little hand truck to bring up the soda, and I put it away on the lower left cabinet in the kitchen. I then put the folding hand truck back in the car. I drank an instant coffee outside. I filed this report. I will now go outside again.

11/18/24 Monday 7:30 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with 4 deli slices of ham and 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of creamed corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again.

11/17/24 Sunday 6:50 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise.

11/14/24 Thursday 10:05 P.M. I channel surfed. I watched the end of https://www.c-span.org/organization/billington-cybersecurity/113750/ . At age 74.5 years, I have learned that nobody was ever interested in my efforts anywhere compared to their skills elsewhere. I supposed www.ibm.com seven miles north of me in Armonk on a former relative's farm might know more. Another relative's former ranch in Austin, Texas is now the headquarters of Dell. I figure since nobody ever communicates, it is safer not to explore around anymore, and just maintain simple routines in my neck of the woods, if the wolf permits.

11/06/24 Wednesday 4:45 A.M. I channel surfed. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. I recall, when I came out of Daytona, Florida in the spring of 1979, I lived at a friend's father's house at https://www.apartments.com/9-bar-beach-rd-port-washington-ny/rvxbr43/ and https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9-Bar-Beach-Rd-Port-Washington-NY-11050/31084142_zpid/ . On Sundays, I sometime would drive all of the way to New Canaan to have dinner with relatives and do my laundry. I did make three or four or five more trips to California after that, and I also returned briefly to Nantucket that spring. Alas younger people tend to crash, where ever someone offers one hospitality. I will now go downtown to the Senior and the Arts Center area near www.starbucks.com to see the early morning rush.
11/06/24 Wednesday 3:10 A.M. I am about to eat a 9 ounce Hormel chicken and rice dinner with a glass of spring water.

11/06/24 Wednesday 1:35 A.M. Looks like my old neighbor on Steamboat Road is going to be the next President. Governor Scott of Vermont also won by 74% if one has to look forward to dealing with a long cold winter ahead. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee. I have connection in West Palm Beach. As I recall, bought a fishing rod there in the fall of 1976 at the local Sears store. I also toured Palm Beach a number of times while in Florida. Alas it takes Wampum to live anywhere in America.
11/06/24 Wednesday 12:45 A.M. Nantucket makes the news again https://nantucketcurrent.com/news/preparations-underway-for-president-joe-bidens-annual-thanksgiving-visit-to-nantucket . As I recall in the fall of 1977, I also lived above the Taft Laundromat near the harbor in exchange for painting the apartment. I lived there with someone from Fairfield, Connecticut who was a skier in Stowe, Vermont; but he later moved to Martha's Vineyard. I recall giving him my Colonel's Air Force NORAD flight suit that I had found in the bushes along the Florida Keys highway, when I hitchhiked there.
Although I have lived most of my life in Greenwich with my experience in Nantucket, I feel like the ambassador from Nantucket to Greenwich. Having lived and worked in the Boston area when my family were at Polaroid, Nantucket made a bit more sense to me knowing how the "Old Guard" Boston people tend to be very traditional.
I will now go outside again.
11/06/24 Wednesday 12:35 A.M. I ate of bowl of Kellogg's Special K with red berries with almond milk.

11/05/24 Tuesday 8:35 A.M. I went by www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I toured the store. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue. I bought six 20 ounce cans of Stop and Shop pineapple chunks for $1.69 a can, two six packs of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.99 a six pack, a 64 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.99, and a 16 pack of White Castle cheeseburger sliders for $15.89 for $36 total.

I guess they eat more than corn flakes in Norway https://www.newscancook.com/ .
The Le Languedoc restaurant out on www.nantucket.net did Novelle French cuisine, but I guess as food got more expensive out there, they might not do it as much anymore. I know they used a lot of garlic and onions and probably olive oil and mysterious herbs and spices.
About the only thing I learned how to cook was a cottage cheese omelet made like a crepe cooking both sides in melted butter with room temperature eggs, so it is very puffy. I did learn also how to peel lots of garlic and onions and pick green beans. Beside dishwashing and prep work, after the restaurant closed at 10 or 11 P.M., I had to work until 4 A.M. cleaning up the kitchen. The last chore was 150 pound garbage cans of wasted food to be hauled outside. I originally started out as a pot scrubber in the season of 1977 as a pot scrubber at the Gordon Folger Hotel next to a hot 130 degree Fahrenheit cast iron stove, only to become a pot scrubber later on that season at Le Languedoc. Being next to the four chefs, one has to get use to the chefs with knives at one back over the pot sink.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
11/05/24 Tuesday 3:05 A.M. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee.

11/05/24 Tuesday 12:55 A.M. This https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/21-Circle-Dr-Manhasset-NY-11030/31083824_zpid/?mmlb=g,0 is where I built the garage apartment from April 1982 to February 1983 where I was paid $8,000 in Barclay's travelers checks for the entire project. The Barkley's travelers checks came from the Harlem Savings Bank in Manhasset, Long Island. It was a lot of work to no avail, but it kept me busy. There were two police cars parked next to the house 24 hours a day at the Plandome Manor train station on the Port Washington line. The son in law of the house was in the United States State Department in Libya, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. The son in law's father was a Colonel in the Army stationed in Atlanta, Georgia. The daughter was the head of word processing in Cyrus Vance's law firm in Manhattan, after he was Secretary of State. The grandmother owner of the house had a mother who was part of the Kaiser of Germany's consulate to New York City before World War One. The grandmother never went to Manhattan, but she traveled to every five star hotel in the World, and Mr. Grumman of Grumman Aircraft was a neighbor. He lawyer also lived on Round Hill Road in Greenwich. She owned a reinsurance company that insured the oil refineries in New Jersey.
I will now go outside again.
11/04/24 Monday 11:50 P.M. The last season out on Nantucket from about the first of April 1983 to December 1983, when I returned from Oslo, Norway; I only earned $8.75 an hour before taxes as the head dishwasher at Le Languedoc restaurant working twelve hours or more a night six to seven days a week. I did have $8,000 in Barkley's travelers checks when I finished the garage apartment at 21 Circle Drive at Plandome Manor, New York, but in my brief travels about half of those Barkley's travelers checks disappeared. When I reported the loss at Barkley's in Oslo, Norway, they never refunded me any of the money. When I returned to America, I did not have the funds to return to Greenwich, so I went back to work on Nantucket. About that time the Mianus Bridge in Greenwich fell down on Interstate 95, so there was a bit of chaos in Greenwich unlike Nantucket. When I returned to Greenwich on December 13, 1983 after side trips to Vero Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Bayonet Point, Florida and Toronto, Ontario, Canada, they put me on welfare to pay for my medical bills, since after a $7,500 complete physical in the Greenwich Hospital they determined I was disabled, which I have been ever since. However, having worked on Nantucket, I was entitled to unemployment compensation, but that would not have been enough to pay for my hospital bills. I have learned from experience to stay local in Greenwich, since when one tries other locations, nothing ever works out since I am disabled.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

The last season out on www.nantucket.net in 1983, I worked as the head dishwasher at https://languedocbistro.com/ . They also had a guest house nearby on Hussey Street, where I stayed in an unfinished very small basement room for $40 a week. I had to use the bathroom on the main floor. It had a bunk bed made of two by four lumber, so technically two people could stay there. There was also a 1950s black and white television with not much programming. I think one has to work at the restaurant to get that cheap room though.

11/04/24 Monday 7:00 P.M. I woke up, and I ate two White Castle cheeseburger sliders with some spring water. I finally woke up at 4:30 P.M. I chatted with a friend. The friend is taking off on a cruise from Miami this Friday to visit six places in the Caribbean. Then they are going to sail to Europe and explore around for almost a month, and then they are going to sail back to Miami the first week of December. I made my bed. I went outside. I picked up the mail. The order with tracking of https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=jhmkmvmqnlprqmp&orderId=114-6379396-8130639&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=336175142387301 for https://www.amazon.com/Original-Baked-Beans-Ounce-Cans/dp/B00FMPKXR8/ref=pd_cart_trq_cart_s_d_sccl_1_4/143-3341666-8422740?pd_rd_w=5fpfI&content-id=amzn1.sym.4def8476-9b6b-4794-a830-8b9798adfb9f&pf_rd_p=4def8476-9b6b-4794-a830-8b9798adfb9f&pf_rd_r=PE2RQVZKCVKX29H38R2D&pd_rd_wg=P86ay&pd_rd_r=9cf66ad5-ddf8-4b87-86af-0f00ee6fdafd&pd_rd_i=B00FMPKXR8&psc=1 for $25.19 off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps card arrived. I put them in the upper left kitchen cabinet. I ate my usual breakfast of pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese croissant, two English muffins with Smart Balance spread, diet cranberry juice and vitamins and supplements, and an instant coffee outside.
11/04/24 Monday 7:05 A.M. I ate two White Castle cheeseburger sliders with some spring water. I chatted with a friend. I will now shut down the HP laptop, and I will go to bed.
11/04/24 Monday 6:40 A.M. Fish and Chips in Scotland are eleven pounds https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/cheapest-place-eat-fish-chips-24341513 which is $14.26. In Greenwich, Connecticut U.S.A. which is supposed to be more POSH, they are about $20 a year ago. I think the New World Order is leaving some people a bit further behind.
11/04/24 Monday 5:20 A.M. Simple people like myself get overwhelmed by stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/s?k=oxford+english+dictionary+2024+unabridged&crid=2SUWOTZUIFW61&sprefix=Oxford+Una%2Caps%2C108&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_10 . I remember out on www.nantucket.net in the summer of 1971 when I paid $5 a night for a bed with three other people in a front room at 31 India Street, there was one young fellow named John Birch whom liked reading a dictionary backwards. Boston people read a lot, but a lot of them do not have real world travel experience except for the libraries at www.harvard.edu and www.mit.edu and some other local large universities in the Boston area where they also read a lot. In my days around Cambridge, the newspaper stand at Harvard Square had newspapers from all around the world. Of course with the internet, there is probably a more diverse community up there, if they can take the colder weather compared to the New York City area. There were French Canadians out on Nantucket, and even at Lake Forest College, I had professors from McGill University in Montreal teaching me Economics. I think that was mostly Keynesian economics with a lot of statistics compared to the Milton Freeman University of Chicago more conservative economics. My economics advisor at Lake Forest College made extra money by working for the automobile manufacturing labor unions when there was a strike. Thus Economics is a little bit more complex than the price of gold today. In my days at Lake Forest College from the Fall of 1968 through the Spring of 1972, the price of gold was only $32 an ounce, and I made $5 an hour working as a bank teller and a taxi cab driver part time. Thus I was earning almost an ounce of gold a day. Even in Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972, gold jewelry on the Ponte Vechio was sold for about $32 an ounce when a package of Marlboros over there was $5, so I smoked French cigarettes for $2 a package. Also a liter of bottle water was $5 which people drink, since the local water gives one diarrhea. However, a liter of Chianti in a wicker covered fiasco was only about $1.25 plus $1 deposit on the bottle, so it was cheaper and healthier to drink the local wine. James Warburg the famous son of Paul Warburg who started the Federal Reserve Bank with his money had a falling out with Franklin Roosevelt for wanting to take the American dollar of the gold standard. The Warburg Bank in Europe was started out with help from the Rothschild Family whom were already established. The Harriman family in America got started out with the help of Belmont whom was an agent of the Rothschild Family. The Warburg Bank was also involved in helping John Davidson Rockefeller start Standard Oil Company after the Civil War, so they probably have other connections besides Swiss Mountain Climbing. Of the Aga Khan's family I think have also have had money for a long time, since they once had their own principality in India before Gandhi. Of course Lord Fairfax whom was a member of the Scott family once had the land grant for Virginia which ran from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Another Scott family member in England is the largest private land owner. Lord Mountbatten's number 2 person in India was also a Scott.
I will now go outside again.
11/04/24 Monday 4:20 A.M. I put some of my heavier winter coats on the back side of the apartment entrance door and the front of the right side living room closet. I stored the lighter jackets in the right living room closet. I moved my heavier winter shirts to the left center of the bedroom closet, and I put the lighter summer shirts on the far left of the bedroom closet.
I will now go outside again and drink an instant coffee.
11/04/24 Monday 3:45 A.M. I put the white comforter on the bed. I put the floor mattress cushion on the Ethan Allen recliner and on the back of the Ethan Allen recliner, I put the blue comforter and Hudson Bay blanket. Thus those items on the Ethan Allen recliner could be used to sleep on the floor, if an unknown guest tried to squat in my apartment. However, the Ethan Allen recliner does recline fully to sleep on too.

My Lake Forest College classmate whom is distantly related to the Harriman family is always saying, "Let the Chinese Take Care of It." Thus I just say let Brown Brothers Harriman take care of it.

The most important thing to remember in the last weeks of October is that way out on www.nantucket.net on the South Shore, the ocean current changes and there is a very strong rip tide that can drag one off to Portugal or one would simply drown. That almost happened to be in the third week of October 1977, when I went for a swim off the beach at the Mount Vernon Farm. I swam with the rip tide, and it felt like a whale was swimming along side of me, and I was able to get ashore at the Sewer Beds at Surfside. I guess I had Le Lanquedoc life insurance making it back to work at the restaurant.

10/28/24 Monday 2:50 A.M. Well, I can still blog about not too much happening in my neck of the woods. I saw a Cybertruck from Texas today and there were still a few Florida cars around. Some people take their time going down South for the winter, and try to network along the way down South. My AT&T and my Tracfone cell phones probably still work. When I lived out on www.nantucket.net , the only communications I had was the pay phone downtown. Last I recall, there used to be a pay phone by the elevators in the main lobby of the Greenwich Hospital. I think it was a dollar though but I can not recall for how many minutes anywhere in the world. Remember, when I used to travel a long time ago, it was before cell phones. Maybe someone could try going outside with a flash light or a lantern and sending an S.O.S. to a satellite, but as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong here. I have a little extra energy having had a big dinner at www.mcdonalds.com for $8.78.

I am now restoring the fully configured Windows 10 setup Aomei backup to it which Aomei restore also comes with Hirens Easy BCD. I will then install Linux Fedora as a second partition.

Thus with the keyboards lower, they are easier to use on the Vizio TV mini computer setup.

10/22/24 Tuesday 12:35 P.M. I put three new AA alkaline batteries in my Atomic clock, but it is still not working properly. I will wait a day to see if it resets itself. I channel surfed. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

10/22/24 Tuesday 9:20 A.M. When out on Nantucket, the locals get all of the easy jobs, so they use the summer visitors without money for the minimal wage jobs while the locals try to make money off the rich people. I chatted briefly with a friend.

I will now go outside again.
I went downtown to the Senior and the Arts Center. I sat out for a long time. I used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com . I remember if one wants to run a restaurant out on www.nantucket.net , one has to get food trucks from S.S. Pierce, Beatrice Foods, and Cisco Food, also food from Holdgates Fish Monger or the A&P if it is still there and of course the Mount Vernon Farm and the other Bartlett farm. However, fresh produce from the farms on Nantucket can have sand in it. They are still repaving the sidewalk in front of the Veterans Monument downtown. I then went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I bought a family pack of Kellogg's Special K with red berries and another family pack of Kellogg's Raisin Bran for $3.99 each for $7.98 total. I then bought a quart box of Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers for $1.49 with $4 bonus bucks coupon from the previous purchase. I then returned home. I put away the food. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. I filed this report. I will now go outside again.
10/22/24 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. I will now go downtown to Green Witch Avenue to forage around.
10/22/24 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. Even though I could never really afford to travel around the North Country too much in the winter, I have some ski resort connections. Rob Ford that I went to the Taft School and Lake Forest College was once the mayor of Vail, Colorado. A neighbor in Kennebunkport from the Stapleton family in Colorado might know something about Colorado skiing. A Lake Forest College friend who was related to W. Averill Harriman whom started Sun Valley, Idaho ski resort. When I worked for three seasons at the Le Languedoc restaurant way out on www.nantucket.net , the waiters were from the Stowe, Vermont Ski resort ski patrol. A friend locally has a nephew in Crested Butte, Colorado where Tom Watson III's daughter also lives. The Watson family here of www.ibm.com also used to own Smugglers Notch ski resort in Vermont. When I build the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island for ten months in 1982 and 1983, the main house had a big picture of the Von Trapp family lodge in Austria. The last time, I skied was in the winter of 1972 in Carrera, Italy in two feet of fresh powder. I did once go to all of the merchants on Greenwich Avenue fund raising for the United States Ski Team party at the Greenwich Country Club before the Albertville, France Winter Olympics which I also attended with a friend that still skis. I also once visited Innsbruck, Austria about the winter of 1987. When I drove across country four and a half times between 1978 and 1980, I also drove around a number of ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains. When I lived in Boston, I once visited Stratton, Vermont, and I once visited also in the summer, when I returned to Greenwich from Nantucket. My English teach at Greenwich Country Day School used to ski somewhere in Maine. I think it was the Sugarloaf ski resort. One of the times, I was in Key West, the Swedish Olympic ski team showed up before the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. When I visited Oslo, Norway in February to April 1983, there was a ski jump in downtown Oslo, Norway. At the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut I was on the ski team, where I think we skied Canon Mountain and Mohawk mountain in Connecticut. Also the few people in the North Country can not afford to come down here to the edge of the tropics either. Also when I chatted with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on the pier of Steamboat Road, a local fisherman from Whistler, Canada ski resort knew her. I think in the trips across country, I visited Vail briefly and Squaw Valley ski resorts. Also Provincetown and Boston airways in the Summer in Nantucket was also Aspen Airways in the Winter. I was also in Grenoble, France a few times in the Winter of 1972. The world famous Aka Khan also attended the world's most expensive private boys school in Gstad, Switzerland; but it is not there anymore.
I will now go outside again.

10/21/24 Monday 11:15 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with five deli slices of German baloney with 5 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli baloney I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again.
10/21/24 Monday 10:25 A.M. I went downtown to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I toured the store twice. Once I bought a Daisy croissant for $2.14, and I had a picnic in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across the street. I chatted with a friend on my cell phone. I paid fifty cents for 20 minutes on the parking meter, when I went inside to CVS to use the bathroom. I noticed in the near far right middle aisle they have about eight knit ski resort caps for $16.99 each including one from Vail and a couple from Breckenridge. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a five gallon bottle of Poland Spring water with bottle return for $9.99. I then returned home. I used my little folding hand truck to bring up the 42 pound bottle of water, and I stored it away underneath the teak dining table with two other five gallon bottles of Poland Spring water. I then put the folding hand truck back in the car, and I drank an instant coffee outside. I filed this report. I will now go outside again.

The democrats at Apple were never interested in me except for trying to sell over priced equipment at their store on Greenwich Avenue. However, the republicans at www.hp.com like me, but I never got any money from them, although my primary laptop is HP. Linux is worldwide, so one has to have a worldwide viewpoint, which is not very profitable.

Back in the summer of 1978 my roommate out on Nantucket worked at the Cumberland Farms dairy store at night. He told me he sold a lot a marijuana rolling papers at that store. A friend of his told me that the local grow marijuana in the Hidden Forest off the Polpis Road so I guess they get away with it. I was once told the Peter, Paul, and Mary song, "Puff the Magic Dragon," was about Nantucket. Also the Beatles song, "Magical Mystery Tour," was about Nantucket.
10/14/24 Monday 9:20 P.M. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm .
10/14/24 Monday 9:15 P.M. On Nantucket my stepfather's second oldest brother had an expensive home in the Wauwinnet area of Nantucket which is where the road to Great Point is. I also looked like Tommy Tucker from Bedford, New York whose grandmother had a $85 million farm way out on Nantucket.
10/14/24 Monday 9:10 P.M. https://www.greenwichtime.com/realestate/article/donald-trump-greenwich-ct-estate-sold-19836262.php . My old neighbor, when I lived at 700 Steamboat Road in a $400 a month studio apartment from June 1984 until December 1988. Alas dishwashers from Nantucket can no longer afford to live in that neighborhood. My stepfather also lived in Donald Trump's old neighborhood, but he sold his house on the waterfront there in 1978 for $400,000. There has been a lot of inflation in Greenwich. I used to see both of Trump's yachts and the smaller one the Ivana was frequently moored at the Showboat Hotel, and it was from Georgetown in the Cayman Islands I guess for tax purposes. I did spend a lot of time over the years on the pier on Steamboat Road over the years even when I moved away. I had two classmates at the Greenwich Country Day school whose fathers were also the head commodores at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in the neighborhood and another classmate at Greenwich Country Day who used to be the manager of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. Thus I am an experienced "Wharf Rat." Also a relative of a relative also lived on Steamboat Road for a while.

10/13/24 Sunday 12:55 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.

10/12/24 Saturday 10:45 P.M. There is a new Windows 12 beta Canary beta, however for it to work one has increase the bios video memory to the maximum. I will now try it out on the beta machine on the Vizio TV mini computer setup. Be a Microsoft Windows 12 beta tester in many different languages. I did this one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows Developer 11 beta 27718 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" . This will also work on older computers too.

10/11/24 Friday 5:10 A.M. I channel surfed. I ate some white seedless grapes.
10/11/24 Friday 4:05 A.M. I worked with the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina on the Vizio TV mini computer setup. It all seems to be working just fine. On my various mini computers, I just setup the OS on them. I never had much time to learn the various programs except the basic programs. It all takes a bit of time for Midnight Mike. I started wearing my new fall jacket with this color http://mikelouisscott.com/mlsdc.jpg . The one in the picture, I gave to a friend who lives near D.C. I also have a new one in red too. I have lots of winter coats for when it gets colder. However, I donated my two snow suits since I had not worn them in many years, and they are difficult to go to the bathroom with them on. Once it gets colder like this evening, it takes a couple of weeks at night to get use to it, but after that I hope to survive another winter going out regularly at night. I also have snow boots, but recently we have not had too much snow in the last few years.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/11/24 Friday 3:00 A.M. I finished working with Linux for now. I guess I am now familiar with the Windows OS, the Apple OS, and the Linux OS. However, at my advanced age, I have problems keeping up with the young Turks whom do everything on their Iphones.
I will now go outside again.
10/11/24 Friday 2:25 A.M. I have been working with Linux Debian. I went outside for an instant coffee.
10/11/24 Friday 12:20 A.M. I rested until 11:15 P.M. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. I watched two more www.youtube.com videos about Hitler's final days and about Hitler and the German Princes. I will now turn off the apartment fans. I will then go outside in the cold frigid weather.
10/10/24 Thursday 10:25 P.M. Off www.youtube.com , I watched a program about the Duke of Windsor. Fred Von Mierers' boss Billy Baldwin was a friend of the Duke of Windsor. Since Wallace Simpson and Billy Baldwin were from Maryland living around the Dupont family that is probably how they knew each other. Both the Duke of Windsor and Billy Baldwin were five foot three inches tall, so a lot of their entourage might have been that high unlike some of the giants today.
I will now rest a bit.
10/10/24 Thursday 9:45 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sliced carrots with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will now go outside again. Greenwich, Connecticut used to have an Anglophile presence in the old days. In the lobby of the Greenwich Country Club https://www.greenwichcountryclub.org/ there was displayed the oldest coffee trophy in America that was dedicated to Queen Victoria and donated by the Spalding Company. However, with all of the new people from around the world here, I guess they do not care too much about our quaint town's history.
10/10/24 Thursday 8:45 P.M. On the big screen Samsung television connected to the Lenovo ThinkCentre with Windows 10, I watched a www.youtube.com video about King George VI saving his German relatives' art treasures.

10/09/24 Wednesday 11:20 P.M. I rested a bit. I went outside. I unplugged the power to both portable air conditioners. I removed the duct work from the windows for both portable air conditioners. I moved the living room portable air conditioner to the right of the Queen Anne chair. I also took the square cherry end table from the bedroom chairs, and I put it in front of the Queen Anne chair. I moved the dark oak end table from in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom to between the two bent pine chairs in the bedroom.

I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.
10/09/24 Wednesday 9:10 P.M. I picked up the mail. I watched some hurricane Milton news. From reading the Greenwich Time for 60 years, I have heard about people from Greenwich on the west coast of Florida in Cedar Key, Sanibel Island, and Boca Grande. I once read an article that there is a town near Tampa that has over two hundred retired Town of Greenwich employees.

I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/08/24 Tuesday 11:00 P.M. I watched off Netflix series 4 episode 19 of, "Vikings." I went outside midway through, and I drank an instant coffee. On Vikings when I visited Oslo, Norway in February 1983, when my S.A.S. jet was supposed to be going to Stockholm, Sweden; but landed at a military airport near Oslo, I saw a bit of Oslo instead. The second day, they had six feet of snow, and I went to the Cats discothèque, and they had all of the pictures of the horses descended from the Norwegian race horse, "Noble Dancer." In the period I was there, I was not able to eat very much but corn flakes with milk and Swedish wasa crisps. I did attend a concert in the, "Peace Hall." Having visited Oslo, Norway; I learned a bit of their perspective in the far North country which not many people seem to be aware of. On the way back to New York City, I did change jets in the Copenhagen, Denmark airport, but I never left that airport. At J.F.K. airport back in New York City, I spent a week homeless at Easter Time seeing a lot of traveling religious people from around the World. I then flew from LaGuardia airport back to www.nantucket.net about the time the Mianus Bridge fell down in Greenwich. In the fall of October 1983, I drove down to Vero Beach, Florida with a relative, and then on my own to Fort Lauderdale, Florida during the Grenada Invasion, and then to the Tampa area to visit my father and then back to Vero Beach, and I flew back to Nantucket, until around Thanksgiving time, when I flew from Hyannis to LaGuardia and took the Amtrak to Toronto for a week or two, and then back down to Manhattan, when I was twice homeless for a week, and I finally received a small apartment at 100 Milbank Avenue in Greenwich from the department of Social Services around December 13, 1983. Thus after a complete physical in the Greenwich Hospital, they determined I was legally disabled, and my days of wandering around ended except for trips to Kennebunkport and a half dozen other places. There is no point in traveling on low income hoping to find a better life, which never leads to anything better.
I will now go outside again.
10/08/24 Tuesday 9:30 P.M.

I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.

Since Microsoft Windows 12 is not coming out for another year, Linux is keeping me busy. I think Linux came out of Sweden like cell phone technology did.

10/04/24 Friday 8:55 P.M. I read this interesting children's book, when I lived at 700 Steamboat Road in Rhoda, Jenkins' studio apartment The Neverending Story: Ende, Michael, Manheim, Ralph: 8601300313153: Amazon.com: Books
10/04/24 Friday 8:45 P.M. I ordered nine Amazon.com : Amazon Fresh, Canned Sliced Carrots, 14.5 Oz : Everything Else for $9.10 total off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps card.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/04/24 Friday 7:20 P.M. I went downtown after the last note. I sat out for a long time at the Board of Education Veterans Monument bench and the Senior and the Arts Center bench. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. I went to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I paid 75 cents in quarters to park until 5 P.M. At CVS, I got my first tetanus shot in over twenty years. A second time, I used the bathroom there. I sat out in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park for a long time. I chatted with a friend on my cell phone. I went to the Stop and Shop, and from the clearance section I bought a four pack of croissants for $2.99, ten 15 ounce cans of corn for .89 a can, and a 12 pack of Jimmy Dean sausage, egg, and cheese croissants for $16.99 for $28.88 total. I then returned home. I put the food away. I put the grey bag back in the car. I drank an instant coffee outside. I picked up the mail. The order with tracking of Track Package (amazon.com) for Amazon.com: Amazon Basic Care Extra Strength Pain Relief, Acetaminophen Caplets, 500 mg, 1000 Count (Packaging may vary) : Health & Household for $13.67 total arrived. I gave them to my neighbor that needed them. I filed this report.
I will now go outside again.
10/04/24 Friday 2:20 P.M. I rested until 1:30 P.M. I went outside. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn and onion and a 12 ounce glass www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I ordered three Amazon.com : Del Monte Canned Sweet Peas, 15 oz Can : Grocery & Gourmet Food for $15.84 off my State of Connecticut EBT Food Stamps card.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
10/04/24 Friday 11:45 A.M. A neighbor gave me $10 to take him to the Acme grocery store at 160 West Putnam Avenue. While there I used the bathroom, and I bought a 42 ounce Smart Balance spread for $9.79 total. They have lots of five gallon bottles of Primo filtered water. I then returned home. I sat outside. I put the Smart Balance spread in the refrigerator. I filed this report. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

I will now go outside again. I guess www.nantucket.net exiles do not get ahead in the New York City area. During my last season in 1983 out on Nantucket working as a dishwasher at the Le Lanquedoc restaurant Home - Le Languedoc Bistro & Inn for $8.75 an hour before taxes, there was always an older man sitting on the patio of the Jared Coffin House that had the same look as one of the most prominent New Yorkers, but it was probably just somebody that looked like that person.

I ate it with a 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans with bacon and onion and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.

10/03/24 Thursday 6:00 P.M. After the last note, I went downtown to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue. I paid $3 in quarters to park for two hours. I spent most of my time in the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across the street. I chatted with a friend on my cell phone. I toured CVS twice, and one of those times I picked up a prescription and used the bathroom twice. I also got a roll of quarters for $10 cash. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two 13 ounce Marie Callender chicken fettuccini meals for $3.99 each, two four packs of Chaboni cherry yogurt for $3.50 a four pack, a 64 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $4.49 and a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.59 for $21.06 total.

10/03/24 Thursday 11:55 A.M. Out on www.nantucket.net , I usually did not have a car, so I walked a lot. I did have the 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne for a week in the summer of 1976, but I gave it away to the Nantucket Hospital Thrift shop in the spring of 1977, when I returned back to Nantucket from Key West. Nantucket is so small, that if one has a car, one soon runs out of places to go.
10/03/24 Thursday 11:45 A.M. I rested until 11 A.M. I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee. When I was at www.lakeforst.edu college from 1968 to 1972, beside making regular flights between Chicago and Boston, one could fly anywhere in the country for $50, so I once flew to Detroit and another time to Tulsa and another time to Colorado Springs, where I toured the Air Force Academy. I also once too a Grey Hound bus round trip from Boston to Toronto. I did drive a number of time between Lake Forest, Illinois and Boston. When I drove a taxi cab in Lake Forest at night for a year and a half, I was always driving passengers to O'Hare Airport near Chicago. The last summer in 1972, I also road with a friend to a Can Am raise in Minnesota and another time the Thousand Islands near Saute St. Marie. I also drove from Oak Brook, Illinois to Jacksonville, Florida. Road trips used to be fun.

10/02/24 Wednesday 7:05 P.M. The new Lenovo mini ThinkCentre has the bios protected with a password which I do not have, so I emailed the seller for the password. I was able to boot Hirens Easy BCD and do a low level format on it. I then installed Linux Dabian First and then Linux Modicia, and they both startup. I still have to configure them. I tried resetting the password by removing the CMOS battery for fifteen minutes and reflashing the bios to no avail. However, in the current setup the USB flash drive boots before the SSD drive, so I am able to boot from a USB pen drive.

I tried installing Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, and Linux Mint along side Modicia Linux partition to no avail. I am now restoring the Microsoft Beta 12 Canary setup to the second in the stack Lenovo ThinkCentre Mini computer. Well, one can install Linux Mint along side Ubuntu, which I have done before or vica versa.
I will now go outside again.
10/02/24 Wednesday 5:25 A.M. On this page at the bottom, I downloaded the 64 bit DVD .iso Debian Linux Index of /debian-cd/12.7.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid for AMD .iso file and I will make an installation pen drive and attempt to install it along side the Linux Debian Monicia installation on the Linux Lenovo ThinkCentre.
10/02/24 Wednesday 4:35 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sweet peas and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.

10/01/24 Tuesday 8:35 A.M. Although complicated, the reason working with home computers and two web sites is easier for me is that I have been doing it September 1989 which is about 35 years. It actually is a bit easier today than the earlier days when things were a lot more complicated. When I tried running a server out of my apartment I would sometimes get hacked over a half dozen times a day, so I became expert at restoring backups of new installs or doing new installs of free betas which are free.
10/01/24 Tuesday 7:40 A.M. Linux is all setup on the Lenovo ThinkCentre on the Vizio TV mini computer setup.
I will now go outside and drink a decaf instant coffee.
!!!!!! 10/01/24 Tuesday 6:40 A.M. I was able to get Linux to install on the ThinkCentre by doing a 2% low level format with the Hirens Easy BCD USB pen drive, and then it installed normally. Either I had a virus or Linux put something on the hard drive that is hard to get rid of. A quick low level format does not work.
I went outside twice.
10/01/24 Tuesday 5:30 A.M. I am still trying to install Linux by installing it on a different type of partition. I have tried about everything. The first time I installed it this past afternoon, it installed without any problems. I will keep trying, and if it does not install, I will install the Windows 12 beta Canary installation again. On this particular Think Centre I have had problems with Linux in the past, but on the other two Think Centres it worked fine, so I can try it on the fourth Think Centre when it arrives this Wednesday. It is the Think Centre with the yellow AC plug in that Linux works on.
10/01/24 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. I paid my Optimum, Eversource Electric, and Verizon telephone bills for October 2024.
10/01/24 Tuesday 3:55 A.M. On my older Linux ThinkCentre mini to reinstall Modicia O.S., I had to first do another low level format with Hirens USB pen drive. I guess on that computer, one can not install Linux for Linux. Linux installs a hidden partition that one has to do a low level format to get rid of. Also this time to get it to work on my older computer, I am not installing a Swap file like I did the first time this past afternoon.
10/01/24 Tuesday 3:30 A.M. On my older Linux ThinkCentre mini to reinstall Modicia O.S., I had to first do another low level format with Hirens USB pen drive. I guess on that computer, one can not install Linux for Linux. Linux installs a hidden partition that one has to do a low level format to get rid of.
I will now go outside again.
10/01/24 Tuesday 2:50 A.M. On the Linux system, the TV viewer program messed up downloading software, so I am reinstall the Linux system.
I will now go outside again.

10/01/24 Tuesday 12:15 A.M. I went outside twice. I worked with Linux Debian computer setup. It is quite good and has lots of free programs. I think it works quite well for a free operating system that nobody called to my attention over the years.

09/30/24 Monday 10:20 P.M. Tracking is USPS.com® - USPS Tracking® Results on the order for Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p Tiny i5-4570T 2.90GHz 8GB Ram 128GB SSD Windows 10 AC | eBay for $55.30 total. I probably won't set it up. I will just keep it in the left living closet shelf as a spare. Using older computer equipment, it can break down. Since I am extremely low income, my viewpoint might be appreciated by low income students and retired people unlike Wall Street Gurus.
09/30/24 Monday 9:10 P.M. I watched a Chinese cooking show off Spirit television. However, my relative threw out my wok last December. I used to know how to do something like French Chinese cooking in a wok with olive oil and garlic and Italian spices and oregano. I went outside again.

09/30/24 Monday 1:20 P.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of ham with 6 deli slices of White American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sliced carrots and a 12 ounce glass Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.
I will now rest a bit.
09/30/24 Monday 12:50 P.M. The Modicia O.S. Linux works really well. It has the Google Chrome web browser and Skype and a Office Suite. It also installs Microsoft Office 365, but one has to have an account for that. Thus for an older computer, it is ideal.
09/30/24 Monday 12:20 P.M. I made a Modicia O.S. install pen drive. On the Vizio mini computer setup, I did a Hiren Low Level format on the second Lenovo ThinkCentre mini computer, and I am now installing the Modicia OS on it. Previously Linux OS Ubuntu or Linux Mint would not install on it, so Modicia O.S. works with older equipment. My Linux ThinkCentre Mini computers are about eight years old, so they are not made to work with Windows 11 or the Windows 12 beta unless the install is modified too. Thus the Windows 12 beta Canary is no longer on the machine. However, I can always easily restore it.
I will now go outside again.

End of Scott's Notes week of 09/29/24
09/29/24 Sunday 4:00 A.M. When I was around Fred Von Mierers, Helen Kress Williams, Vivian West and Anne Freeman's group of friends in Manhattan, they all attended St. Bart's (stbarts.org) on the north side of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Once when I stayed with Hurley Harris Haywood at the Waldorf Towers, I had a cigarette on the patio of St. Bart's, and I saw someone that looked like the Duke of Windsor getting out of a Buick sedan at the Waldorf Towers in January 1973, but he was supposed to have passed away by then, so maybe it was Billy Baldwin the interior decorator that looked like him and knew him. Also St. Bart's has an indoor swimming pool. Also the wealthiest church in Manhattan is Grace Church in New York | Grace Church, an Episcopal Parish in the City of New York (gracechurchnyc.org) at 13th Street and University place in Greenwich Village. They own a lot of real estate. However, there are other churches in Manhattan like https://www.stjohndivine.org/ on the upper west side. On West 20th Street in Manhattan, where I also once lived briefly around 1974, they also have General Theological Seminary (gts.edu) . However, in walking around endlessly in Manhattan, I have passed many churches and houses of worship that people in Manhattan are familiar with like Marble Collegiate Church (marblechurch.org) which has old Dutch roots or even FAPC · Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church uptown where my step father's family were benefactors of. Of course Home - Church of St. Paul the Apostle, New York (stpaultheapostle.org) down on Wall Street is supposed to be one of the oldest churches in Manhattan as is https://www.trinitychurch.org/ next door down on Wall Street.

On the laptop setup in the northwest corner to the left of the Samsung television, I moved to the Apple MacBook Pro to the book shelf on the left, so the Dell 17.3 inch laptop there is now available for use there. Both Dell 17.3 inch laptops have dual boot with both Windows 10 and Windows 12 beta Canary with Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project on them, so they are good to use. Since nobody cares about Microsoft around here with the profitable Apple store on Greenwich Avenue, I am one of the last original beta testers of the Microsoft OS in this area. I have been to two Microsoft conferences at the Sheraton Hotel in Stamford, another at the Holiday Inn in Bridgeport, another at the Hyatt Hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, and the last one was at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan when I took these pictures to document the event Index of /mls-030408 (mikelouisscott.com) and I saw Prince Charles in Grand Central Station with Prime Minister Gordon Brown looking at the remodeled Grand Central Station with a thousand men in black suits that looked a bit like Prince Andrew.

09/18/24 Wednesday 2:50 A.M. I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee. The local business companies that my father Louis Dale Scott was involved with as an executive in this area was Monsanto Chemstrand in Manhattan, Combustion Engineering in Stamford now Asea Brown Boveri and Continental Can in Greenwich and Manhattan. These larger companies also had facilities elsewhere including overseas. Of course before we moved into this area in June 1962, this area was not as prosperous, so maybe our family and associates helped make the area a little bit more prosperous. My father was also employed as an executive with Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell. He had a PHD in organic chemistry from Ohio State and did his undergraduate work at the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana. Besides being an executive he knew how to build factories and oil refineries. Major companies obviously have connections with bankers which why finance and economics is important.
However, since September 1989, I have learned how to use personal computers to keep track of my very simple lifestyle in the rather complex New York City environment.
I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.
09/18/24 Wednesday 2:15 A.M. I am reading the Scott family history. I went outside again.
09/18/24 Wednesday 1:40 A.M. I moved the black piano bench back in the bedroom to in front of the United States of America flag in the bedroom. From there I moved the small dark oak end table to in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom with the television sound bar on it. I then moved the Harvard chair from the northwest corner of the living room to in front of the white bureau in front of the left side of the hallway entrance. I then set up the new folding beach chair in the northwest corner of the living room in front of the Dell 17.3 inch laptop setup. I figure the Harvard chair is an expensive piece of furniture, so it should be more prominently displayed. Through my Greenwich Country Day and Taft School connections, I know some people that went to Harvard, when my family lived in Boston, and I was just a summer photographer in Cambridge working at Polaroid. As a minor point of dispute, it says here History of the Scott Family (scott-mike.com) that the Scott family were original settlers in Cambridge along with other east coast settlements of America. More than likely there are still a few Scott family members out there in the wood work of America and they also seem to be a lot of them up in Canada for some odd reason not to mention the United States of America. Back in 1974, there were three United States Senators from the Scott family. One was from Pennsylvania, another from Virginia, and another from North Carolina. More than likely there are younger members of the Scott family around, not to mention the ones in the Eastern Hemisphere. Windfield Scott in Colonial Days was six foot three inches tall, so some of the modern descendants might be even taller, but they probably feel more comfortable around taller people like I do around middle size people at six feet tall and 205 pounds. I once had a distant relative on my mother's Dutch side of the family whom was a basket ball coach after landing the second day of D Day, so he might have known other tall people out in the Midwest somewhere or other.

Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. for Freshman Orientation at www.lakeforest.edu in the fall of 1968. They later made a movie with the same name. Joseph Heller's daughter was in our class, but when he visited the college when his daughter was there when the Cosmic Circus was going on, he withdrew his daughter from the college. I guess back then the college was a bit Avant Garde.

09/14/24 Saturday 12:20 A.M. Being on a night schedule most of my adult life, not many people ever paid much attention to me even in the big city of Manhattan. In my days in Manhattan up until February 1982, when it was 26 degrees below zero almost two years after Mount St. Helen's erupted, I learned some people were making money at night on computers by maintaining the computers on Wall Street, when the stock market was closed. However, until the Graphical User Interface came out on DOS, I was not much use on computers. I do not know the advanced computer operating systems like Big Blue better known as www.ibm.com market, although back in the summer of 1971 at Polaroid, I did learn a bit of COBOL from IBM manuals that Polaroid used on the expensive IBM 360 main frames they leased from IBM. Lake Forest College even gave me three credits for that work to make up the two courses in Quantum Mechanics and the one course in recent American History I flunked. I left all of the IBM manuals and the COBOL print outs of the spread sheet that I wrote in one night after meeting up with a few young guys near a friend's apartment on Beacon Hill. I will not mention what I was taking, but when I entered the program from spread sheets into punch cards, it ran perfectly fine on the IBM 360. I then hitch hiked down to Woods Hole and took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and wandered around Martha's Vineyard, and I think I also camped out on the beach in a storm on Chappaquiddick which was well advertised at that time. It was about a twenty mile walk on the south shore of Martha's Vineyard from Edgartown to the Gay Head, and there was a dangerous inlet half way that one had to cross. However, I also heard about www.nantucket.net while living in Boston, so I would also sneak out there to enjoy the summer activity. I think on one my first trips to Nantucket, I ran into my freshman year room mate at Lake Forest College from Princeton, New Jersey when I was having a beer at the pub on Main Street which became an ice cream parlor. Being all salty from the ocean, we did not recognize each other. I can not remember the name of that pub, but I think it was something like the Ship's Locker or some other nautical phrase. Other classmates from Lake Forest College were also out on Nantucket too, but I recall on the first trip to Nantucket in the summer of 1968, I stayed with some other youth from Greenwich at a small apartment on Orange Street. My Polaroid celebrity did not transfer to Nantucket, and even when I lived at 31 India Street the President of Eastman Kodak lived across the street. On one of the earlier trips to Nantucket in the late 1960s, I visited with one of two British twins whose father ran B.O.A.C. in Boston, and he was an excellent surfer having lived in Hawaii. Alas as a senior age, I need to stay close to those services that maintain older people in the Greenwich area.
09/13/24 Friday 10:55 P.M. On the Vizio TV mini computer setup, the second Microsoft Windows 12 beta Canary Lenovo ThinkCentre mini computer is back up and running again. It is the same as the other one with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, and Norton Internet Security. I am trying to install another Windows update on it, but I do not think it will install on a beta.
I will now go outside again and drink some of Mrs. Franklin's instant coffee.
09/13/24 Friday 9:45 P.M. When I went outside, I drank some of Benjamin Franklin's mother's instant coffee. I low level formatted the Linux beta computer with Hirens EasyBCD pen drive Download | Hiren's BootCD PE (hirensbootcd.org) and https://www.hirensbootcd.org/usb-booting/ and I am using the Aomei backup on it to restore the already configured Windows 12 beta Canary setup.
Be a Microsoft Windows 12 beta tester in many different languages. I did this one can try this an created a Windows 11 beta Rufus for older machines with this method by downloading the latest Windows Developer 11 beta 26100.1150 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" . This will also work on older computers too.
I will now go outside again.

I ate it with a 15 ounce can of sweet peas with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap.

Back in the 1950s, when my family used my maternal grandmother's cottage on the beach in Holland, Michigan; there was a small store just north of it that had a pen ball machine for nickel a game. When I was at Lake Forest College, I knew friends that had a pachinko machine. When I arrived at the train station in Grenoble, France in the winter of 1972, the train station was filled with dozens of pen ball machines. At the discothèque in Greenville, South Carolina in the winter of 1976, they also had pen ball machines, but with inflation, I think they were a quarter a game. In the Chicago in the fall of 1972, Rob Glore also had a jute box in his apartment. Also in that period the Ninth Circle pub in Greenwich Village had a jute box which was about a quarter for each song. I used to try to control the music there with Beach Boys, Elvis, and Beatles tunes. However, they had a picture of Janis Joplin there, so maybe there were other music people there. I was told while at CBS, the news division did not make any money, but the music division made a lot of money. The soap operas were also owned by Proctor and Gamble. I did see the cast of the Waltons once at the Ninth Circle Pub and also Andy Warhol. I remember during one blizzard when people were stuck traveling in Manhattan, I saw someone that looked like Margaret Thatcher and Mao Tse Tung stuck traveling elsewhere. Later a lot of Jamaicans showed up on the back patio underneath a tent smoking what Jamaicans were once famous for in hippie days. The bartender "Stormy" was from White House, Vermont; so he did not mind cold weather. I usually drank small 4 ounce cans of orange juice there. They did also serve Schlitz beer there too. They also served Schlitz beer at the Bull put in Key West. At Lake Forest College, Budweiser was 69 cents a six pack but Schlitz was 59 cents a six pack, since we were not too far from the Wisconsin border where in Kenosha, Wisconsin American Motors made Jeeps which are handy in cold snowy weather up North. Rob Glore a cousin of Hurley Harris Haywood was the first person I knew in Key West, and he had a woman's hippie clothing shop with lots of girls next to the Masonic Temple across the street from the Post Office. He had gone to school in Switzerland, but one hardly ever saw him around except a few times walking his Irish Setter. He did cash my six month of unemployment checks when they finally arrived in April 1977. One time when I was there, I also walked into a party off the street where Hurley Harris Haywood was the guest of honor. I guess my Chemstrand Monsanto Nylon connections in Pensacola, Florida were no good in Key West. When Jimmy Eldert, and I finally left in April 1977 with my $2,500 in unemployment money; I was only 125 pounds having starved without benefits for six months, when I arrived in the third week of September 1976 in Fort Lauderdale, I was a 185 pounds. Thus Key West is a good place to lose weight, if one does not mind starving.
I will now go outside again.
09/05/24 Thursday 11:30 P.M. I took the new folding beach chair out of the back of the Volvo, and I put it folded up in front of the white bureau on the left side of the hallway entrance. It can be easily folded out for use at that location, and it is less cluttered there. I moved the red leather Chesterfield chair from there back to in front of the Vizio TV mini computer setup at the apartment entrance. It is more comfortable to sit at that location. From there, I moved the Harvard chair back to the northwest corner of the living room at the Dell 17.3 inch laptop setup. From there, I move the bent pine chair to the left side of the bed in the bedroom.

Back in the 1960s my neighbors on Round Hill Road had a pool table in their basement, where I learned to play Stripes and Solids. At Lake Forest College, they had four AMF pool tables in the Commons. When I met Hurley Harris Haywood, he had a pool table in his grandmother's basement. In Manhattan, Uncle Charlie's on Third Avenue, the Ninth Circle pub, the Eagles Nest, and the Spike and Jimmy's had pool tables. Up in Nantucket Preston's bar next to the airport had two pool tables. When I was once hospitalized for starving, the hospital had two pool tables. In Key West, Captain Tony's bar had two pool tables. I think the discotecque in Greenville, South Carolina had pool tables. The Brook cafe in Westport had a pool table. Also Christ Church in Greenwich has two pool tables. Alas I am not that good at it, but I have played it a bit. AMF used to be headquartered on Greenwich Avenue too. Possibly the Amtrak station bar in Santa Barbara also had a pool table.

09/04/24 Wednesday 8:20 A.M. I drove downtown to the Board of Education Parking lot Veterans Monument bench. I drank an instant coffee from my thermos there. I used the bathroom at www.starbucks.com . I sat in front of the Senior and the Arts Center. I walked down to Zen Stationary, and I bought a Sunny Money scratch card for a dollar, and I lost as usual to the Bank of Bombay. I sat out some more at the Senior and the Arts Center. I then drove to the Junior Chamber of Commerce Park across from www.cvs.com . I sat there for a while. I used the bathroom at the CFCF coffee shop. I then toured CVS at opening. I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought a 64 ounce Almond Breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk for $5.99, a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.99, a package of deli sliced Van Kass Dutch smoked gouda cheese for $6.99 a pound for $6.99, and a package of deli sliced honey ham for $6.99 a pound for $7.16 for $22.13 total. I then returned home. I put my food away. I put the grey bag back in the car. I sat outside. I filed this report. I will now shut down the HP laptop. I will eat a yogurt. I will then go to bed.
09/04/24 Wednesday 4:55 A.M. I rested until 4:30 A.M. I channel surfed. I moved the small dark end table from the right side of the Harvard chair to in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom. I will now go downtown to Greenwich Avenue to forage around, but first I have to put on warmer clothes.
09/04/24 Wednesday 3:25 A.M. I put a spinach wrap on a dinner plate. I covered it on one side with Hellmann's mayonnaise. I then alternated it with six deli slices of deli ham with six deli slices of white American cheese, and I rolled it up, and I cut it in half. I ate it with a 15 ounce can of corn with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar. The slices of deli ham I am using are very paper thin, but the cheese is just as thin, so it is basically a ham and cheese wrap. I will rest a bit.
09/04/24 Wednesday 2:40 A.M. I hardly ever have to open up the white bureau in the living room. The top drawers contains various flags of convenience, which I do not display, since the United States Government pays most of my bills here, so I display the U.S.A. flag in the bedroom. The middle drawer contains bathing suits and new linens, but since I am not supposed to go out in the sun anymore, I do not use the bathing suits anymore. The bottom drawer contains some new Oxford shirts, which I do not seem to wear anymore, because the traditional Greenwich Preppy look seems to be way out of fashion here. I still know how to do it though, and I have sports jackets and sweaters and dress pants, but that makes me look more affluent, which I am not obviously. I was told many times that www.lakeforest.edu in Lake Forest, Illinois was the only college one could attend and still come out a Preppy. Maybe out in the Midwest, they still like wearing traditional Anglophile clothes instead of cold weather outdoor apparel. It is colder out there. I once was told a distant relation raises sheep in Montana, so maybe they still have wool products in America besides the United Kingdom. Some people like dressing up for church services, but being on a night time schedule, I hardly ever attend church anymore. I still have a couple of old bibles in my apartment, and one is my Taft School bible I think published by Thomas Nelson and sons out of Edinburgh, Scotland. My Taft minister is retired from Yale, and the Taft alumni news letter says he is running a historical farm up in Vermont, where it is colder than here. The other Yale minister the Reverend William Sloan Coffin who was a carpenter out in Nantucket also was retired up in Vermont. Sometimes when it gets colder up North, we get a few people from Vermont showing up here. That is probably when the younger generation here goes skiing up there in the winter. President Gerald Ford used to have a house in Dillon, Colorado made out of iron wood that could support a many feet of snow. My 1971 Subaru from Nantucket also came from Dillon, Colorado. I know PBA airlines out on Nantucket in the summer used to be Aspen Airways in Colorado in the Winter.
I will now go outside again.
09/04/24 Wednesday 2:15 A.M. I once met another interior decorator from the Harvard School of Design named Bret Clark from Steubenville, Ohio; Palm Beach; and Vienna, Austria. He told me when I met him, he was redoing the Kennedy School of Government for Caroline Kennedy Schlosberg up in Boston. I guess he is quite talented. His father was the ambassador from Austria to the United Nations too, so he might speak German like Fred Von Mierers. When I was around Fred Von Mierers his architect partner from Greenwich was Taylor Sterling that lived on Mayfair Lane in Greenwich where I bought the cast iron caboose stove, when I first moved into this apartment from John Fitzgerald a very tall person. Alas, I can not afford expensive furniture like Fred Von Mierers' client Kip Forbes could afford from Sotheby's and Christie's. However, over the years I have tried to make do with the charity contributions at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop mostly. People were always telling me in Manhattan about another interior decorator named Michael Parish of Parish Hadley, but I do not recall meeting him. Billy Baldwin did redo the White House for Jackie Kennedy and worked for other established clients like the Mellon family of Nantucket and else where.
09/04/24 Wednesday 1:20 A.M. I moved the black lacquer piano bench from in front of the white bureau in the living room to in front of the U.S.A. flag in the bedroom. I moved the Harvard chair from the northwest corner in the living room to in front of the white bureau in the living room. I moved the small dark oak end table from the bedroom wall to the right side of the Harvard on the left side of the hallway entrance. I moved a bent pine chair from the bedroom to the northwest corner of the living room. I moved the square cherry Danish end table to the bedroom wall with the AT&T two line telephone on it. Once it gets cold, I can moved the portable air conditioner in the living room to the northwest corner of the living room or the left side of the bed in the bedroom. Then in the open space in the living room where the portable air conditioner is, I can put a square end table. Also with the Harvard chair where it is, it is more conversational should a small group of people ever want to converse in my apartment. Maybe the ghosts of Billy Baldwin and Frederick Von Mierers are haunting me in my small apartment interior decoration not to mention some relatives whom think they know best.
