My grandfather Scott's home turf of down state Illinois had many Illinois republicans. In Greenwich, Connecticut; we were neighbors of Lowell Weicker, the Bush family, Hicks, and the Rockefeller families. At Greenwich Country Day, I attended with members of the Warburg, Rockefeller, Deegan, Adams, and Morano families. At the Greenwich Country Club, the Harris family were members. At www.lfc.edu I was in charge of the young Republicans which included a classmate whose father ran the Rockefeller foundation. My mother's family were from Holland, Michigan which is near Grand Rapids, where the Ford family were from. One of my best friends in this area from Lake Forest College is related to the Harriman family. Another classmate at Lake Forest College was neighbors of the Kennedy family. Also Robert Morganthau's daughter was in my class at Lake Forest College. The family that I knew out on Long Island were neighbors of the Roosevelt family. Also another family had a father in the State Department. My father knew Dwight Eisenhower's son. With those connections, I probably know some other political people. I also know two RTM representatives here in Greenwich. The current first selectman used to be a floor officer at my local bank. A friend of my mine also knows the Weld family from nearby Bedford, New York. I also know members of the Garfield family, and I attended the Taft School which is related to the Taft family, and a members of the Harding, Ford, Adams, and Taft families were at Taft, while I attended. A member of the Van Buren family used to live in my building where I currently live as does a member of the Pataki family. I also use to know a neighbor of the Nixon family. My family is also a neighbor of the Bush family in Kennebunkport, Maine, and my stepfather's Agnew family who were summer residents of Kennebunkport, Maine since 1876 were also the Manhattan representative to the Albany, New York State legislature around 1914, when he outlawed horse racing in New York State which was not popular. I once met Chris Shays in Washington D.C.. Another relative's grandparents were neighbors of Nancy Reagan's parents in Arizona, and he is also related to Howard Baker. Another relative's husband was the assistant district attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma, so he knew politicians from that area such as the Clintons. I also know a couple of Federal Judges along with a few local judges in this area. I also know a few lawyers. Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP , Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP , Milbank , The Law Firm of Vinson & Elkins, A Global Law Firm Serving Business Clients , and locally here in Greenwich, Connecticut named Larry Lawson on East Elm Street and Mason Street and Attorney Everett Fisher, Fogarty Cohen Selby & Nemiroff LLC, Greenwich, Connecticut .

Before they pass away: Jimmy Nelson's photos of at-risk tribes NYC carriage ban: Do horses heart New York? I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then eat a muffin. I then will go to bed for the rest of the night and the early morning hours until I wake up to another cold morning in the cold country, but after all of these years I am use to it. In fact I have a much harder time dealing with the heat of our very hot summers here. CIO <888> 01/07/14 Tuesday 8:25 P.M. I chatted with a friend and a relative. When I was younger, the week before the Lake Placid, New York Olympics in 1980 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Winter_Olympics I left this area about 7 A.M., and I drove up the New York State Thruway to Buffalo, New York, and I cross the border into Canada, and I stopped at the Duty Free liquor store, and I bought a 1.5 liter of http://www.grand-marnier.com/dispatch.php for about $14, and I returned back the same way stopping off at Lake Placid, but when I explored it; nothing was going on, so I returned to this area around 11 P.M.. That was when gasoline was 59 cents a gallon and my 1971 yellow Subaru wagon that I bought for a $150 out in www.nantucket.net got about 52 miles per gallon on the highway. Of course, I made it back to Toronto, Ontario, Canada back in December 1983, when it was zero degrees Fahrenheit there. I slept on a couch at the Anglican seminary library at the University of Toronto, and I explored Toronto. It was about zero degrees Fahrenheit in the day time there, and after that adventure, I settled back into my family's home town of Green Witch, Connecticut; where I have lived the most of my life, and my family have some sort of connection here, since although we are a private family, we have been neighbors of various politicians who were not so private. Since I never pay much attention to government, I keep busy with my own activities which I am more experienced with. It seems one has to be a lawyer to be involved in government.

I use to know quite a few people in Manhattan, but whenever I return to Greenwich, Connecticut; they seem to forget people way out here in the boondocks, but I find it more enjoyable, since it is less busy out here in the forests of Connecticut. I will now make cigarettes. Tomorrow it is suppose go up to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and be sunny, so I guess I will go out tomorrow and forage around for a few food items. CIO <888> 01/07/14 Tuesday 1:50 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I put the old towels in the rear of the Volvo wagon. I opened up all five of its doors to make sure they were not stuck with frozen ice.

From my viewpoint, there is no point in starting a car, when it will just freeze up later in the day. I am stocked up on food supplies. However, I am out of bananas, I have no English muffin, and I only have two bagels left. Still I have plenty of other food. I guess a lot of people are sitting around the http://www.greenwichlibrary.org/ trying to stay warm and use their internet access. I am sure it costs a lot of money to keep the large McMansion homes in back country Greenwich warm. I suppose www.starbucks.com on Greenwich Avenue has some of their regulars trying to stay warm too. The Greenwich Train Station is suppose to have Optimum WiFi https://www.optimum.net/internet/hotspots/ . I think www.mcdonalds.com on West Putnam Avenue also has WiFi, but I am not sure about that. I am leaving my wireless going in my apartment, so that any neighbors in range can use it. I only do that in extreme situations, which I consider the present situation. The Greenwich Senior and Arts center just next to the Greenwich Police Station and north of Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue also has WiFi. CIO <888> 01/07/14 Tuesday 10:15 A.M.
