<888> 02/07/14 Friday 11:45 P.M. I chatted with a friend. I watched the opening of the Winter of Olympics from Russia that was broadcast on N.B.C.. I guess to afford to pay off their $750 million cost to broadcast it, they have to have a lot of commercial advertising. I ate three ounces of almonds while watching the show. Earlier today I ate two ounces of almonds. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a Greek yogurt. I will then go to bed. It seems we are having a colder than normal winter, but it is my viewpoint that this Has the Sun gone to sleep? might be true. CIO <888> 02/07/14 Friday 6:55 P.M. I picked up the mail. I chatted with a neighbor and the building custodian. If one reads the small print in the www.nytimes.com , in their article about the Tapan Zee bridge reconstruction, the picture of the heavy lifting barge they brought in from San Francisco through the Panama Canal says http://www.fluor.com/pages/default.aspx , and since I once worked for Daniel Construction in Greenville, South Carolina as an expeditor, and since Daniel was bought out by Fluor, more than likely somebody in this area is involved in the new bridge project. They only paid me about $550 a month after taxes, and I lived in a $140 a month one bedroom apartment near the Greenville, South Carolina sheriff's department, where I saw about 200 sheriff deputies every morning on my way to work in my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne light blue 4 door sedan, we had pretty good security. Also General William Westmoreland was from Greenville, South Carolina, so Daniel employed quite a lot of retired military personnel. They offered me a job in Saudi Arabia building an air force base there. When told that all of the tankers full of cement in the hot harbors had their cement going bad, I suggested that they build cement plants in Saudi Arabia, since they have most of the natural ingredients there. Alas, since I live so far up north in wilderness of New England, those peanut munchers down south have long since forgot about me. I still have communications with other relatives down south, but mostly I hear about grocery store politics from them. CIO <888> 02/07/14 Friday 5:40 P.M. A good way to jam the http://www.nsa.gov/ by playing this http://www.disco-disco.com/sounds/djsets/robbieleslie-studio54-podcast.m3u . It is also good work out music for exercise. Of course to loud disco music probably made people a bit deaf. Also the people who produced other music did not like it, since it was quite popular at one time. I always wandered if the strobe lights in the disco were photographing people while they partied. The music file said they were also using a lot of drugs at the discos to get "HIGH". I guess that is what the West Coast was all about, while we were all freezing in the cold back East. It is also was part of the Miami Sound Machine group of people. The first discothèque I discovered was in Grenoble, France at the "Bird Land" disco in Marcelle's old barn behind his villa where Charles Rising King and his classmates at the University of Grenoble were staying during the French student riots. Of course in French, the word discotheque means "Hall of Records". A lot of disco music was never heard in this country, since it was only licensed for various cruise ships on various voyages. They were sort of like the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tours" to www.nantucket.net .

I chatted with a relative. I sat outside briefly. A friend that called late this morning told me that one can buy a 40 pound bag of bird seed at www.costco.com for $20 to feed the birds that might be hungry in this very cold weather. He told me one has to clear the ground, where one puts the bird seed. He told me while watching the birds feeding, a goshawk swooped down and ate a dove. I guess it is still survival of the fitness up in the north country. I am comfortable at home for now, but after spending all of those years out in the cold on Greenwich Avenue, it is sort of hard to get use to staying inside at home; but I suppose it is better than freezing out in the very cold weather. CIO <888> 02/07/14 Friday 12:25 P.M. I chatted with a friend. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 02/07/14 Friday 10:30 A.M.

CIO <888> 02/07/14 Friday 9:55 A.M. I took a 10 inch skillet, and I put it on a large electric burner at medium high heat with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in it, and after three minutes when the olive oil was hot, I put in a 11 ounce top round London Broil, and I cooked it for two minutes a side flipping it every minute. The first two sides, I put garlic salt, Montréal Steak Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning on each side the first time around, and then for one last minute, I simmered it on both sides in a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce and I ate it with the herbal soy sauce and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce and 12 ounces of mashed potatoes with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise and broccoli crowns with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.

As many of you know, significant snow and ice precipitation is forecast for this later evening through tomorrow. In anticipation, the Town of Greenwich Board of Selectmen has unanimously voted to declare a Snow Emergency effective later this evening at 1:00 am, Wednesday, February 5th, 2014. The Snow Emergency will remain in effect until cancelled. During the period of the Snow Emergency no vehicles are permitted to remain parked, stopped or standing on any Snow Emergency streets. Vehicles in violation will be subject to ticketing and immediate towing. If you are unsure if your vehicle is parked on a Snow Emergency street, a full list can be viewed here: Snow Emergency Streets Vehicles displaced from Snow Emergency streets may be lawfully parked in municipal off-street parking lots until the snow emergency is over. Your cooperation will ensure that road crews can keep Snow Emergency streets open for emergency First Responder vehicle traffic. At this time, the State of Connecticut’s Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection is anticipating that this will be a "moderate to major" winter storm event. Light snow beginning around midnight is predicted to give way to very heavy, wet snow through the early morning hours continuing to midday tomorrow with some periods of limited visibility. The snow will be mixed with and finally end with periods of sleet and freezing rain. Total snow accumulations are predicted to be 6 to 10 inches and total ice accretions of up to one-quarter of one inch are likely. Temperatures, even during the daytime, are not predicted to be above freezing for several days. This storm, especially with its potential for significant icing may cause trees and branches and power lines to become heavy and fall. Residents should use extra caution when outdoors, be aware of the potential for falling trees and branches and never approach downed wires of any type. Additionally, residents should be mindful of the possibility of power and communications interruptions during and following this winter storm event. Additional staffing has been added to Public Works road crews and to Greenwich's emergency responder agencies and the Town of Greenwich is fully prepared for the coming snow and ice event. You can best help us by remembering to move vehicles from snow emergency routes. Please stay indoors, stay warm and stay safe. Capt. Mark Kordick Division Commander Greenwich Police Department End of Message: CIO <888> 02/04/14 Tuesday 2:15 P.M. I chatted with a friend. A snowy owl was spotted in Wilton, Connecticut.
