Note: <888> 10/22/05 Saturday 6:25 A.M.:  I am letting the golden pineapple ripen for a few days, before I slice it up into chunks.  I guess there are no smart people on the internet, since I never get any email of substance just spam and newsletters.  Some of the newsletters have a lot of content, but it is the nature of the internet, most of the content is relevant to the California way of thinking whatever that might be.  I will now go through my email.   CIO

Note: <888> 10/22/05 Saturday 5:55 A.M.:  I woke up at 4 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee.  The Bonita bananas that  I bought yesterday at the Royal Farm and Sushi market come from Ecuador.   They came in a seal medium weight clear plastic bag.  I have a feeling that a sealed medium weight clear plastic bag keeps them from going bad faster.  The chain store ones  like Dole and Chiquita that I usually buy that do not come in  a clear plastic bag and only last about three to four days before turning brown.  Thus more than likely if one keeps one bananas in a sealed medium weight clear plastic bag, they will last longer.   There is suppose to be rain all day today.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/21/05 Friday 3:25 P.M.:  I took three medium organic eggs, and I broke them in a mixing bowl, and I added two teaspoons of milk and a half teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and I used a whisk to mix it all together until it was bubbly.  I then took my 8 inch seasoned omelet pan, I place it on the large electric burner on medium high heat, and I added two tablespoons of olive oil and two pads of margarine, until the fat began to bubble.  A seasoned omelet pan is one that is NOT washed after use, but one just wipes it off with a paper towel to remove any excess cooking material.  If an omelet pan is well seasoned the omelet should not stick to the pan.  I added the egg mixture, and I turned the heat down to medium, and once the omelet mixture began to bubble and the bottom half is cooked enough, so one can flip it over, I flipped it over.  Once I flipped the omelet, I put two five inch square slices of Jarleberg Lite cheese on one side and then four .5 inch slices of 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream, 12 grape tomatoes and 10 black olives and another slice of Jarlsberg Lite cheese, and then I flipped the empty side of the omelet over the side with the added items, and I put it on a dinner plate, and I sprinkled a couple of teaspoons of grated parmesan cheese over it.  While cooking the omelet, I toasted on the inside two halves of a bagel which my toaster can toast on one side, and I added a little bit of olive oil spread around the toasted sides.  I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  CIO    

Note: <888> 10/21/05 Friday 2:45 P.M.:   When I was sorting out the bulbs in the mahogany bureau drawers in the bedroom, I found an international Franzus compact polarized 1600 watt international electricity converter that converts 220 volt foreign electricity to 110 volts rated 50 to 1600 watts model M-1600, and a Belkin Ericsson compatible mobile power cord.  I put both of them on the shelf on top of the bedroom side board.  I just had to replace the two AA batteries in my Logitech wireless optical mouse with two new Duracell AA Energizer batteries, since the low battery warning came on.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/21/05 Friday 11:55 A.M.:     I showed the building custodian my apartment as it exists at the moment.  I toasted two slices of Arnold multigrain bread, and I spread them with Hellmann's mayonnaise,  and I put on two full 1/32nds inch thick slices of turkey, 2 full slices of Jarlsberg Lite cheese,  five 3/32nds inch thick slices of onion, four spinach leaves,  and pepper and sea salt and the top slices of bread, and I cut it in half across.  I ate the sandwich with a glass of iced tea.  I sorted out the second drawer down in my mahogany bureau in the bedroom that contains all the spare candelabra bulbs and other odd bulbs that I used around the apartment.  I put the florescent and the DC volt candelabra bulbs in the bottom drawer.  I found two packs of four 25 watt clear regular base torpedo bulbs, and since one of the two torpedo bulbs had burned out in the Rembrandt print light fixture in the living room, I replaced both of them with the new ones.  I will now put the computer on standby, and I will clean up, and I will walk down to the Korean vegetable stand at Cumberland Farms in nearby Port Chester, New York, and I will buy some bananas.  This will save on fuel, and it will give me a little bit of exercise walking down and up the long flight of steps to the road below our building.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/21/05 Friday 9:00 A.M.:  I had a telephone call from a relative last evening at 10:30 P.M..  I woke up at 2:30 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee.  I went back to bed until 5 A.M..  I did my house cleaning and watering the plants.  I threw out some garbage and periodical literature.  Yesterday, I put another blue tablet in the toilet bowl tank.  I put two dollar Indian coins in the small brass frame that I bought yesterday, and I left it on the CD shelf on the dining room table.  I use one of the magnetic hooks from the refrigerator, and I put it throught the wire rack behind the apartment entrance, and I hung the bicycle back pack from it and the Swiss Army back pack from it.  I left the back pack with wheels on the back of the sofa.  I am charging up the 2.5 million watt lantern on the bedroom sideboard.  I noticed www.costco.com now sells a big 15 million watt rechargeable lantern, in case you need to signal Long Island across Long Island Sound.  I also noticed they sell a quart of grape tomatoes for $4.29.  Prime New York steaks are $7.99 a pound for those of you whom have a little extra money.  You can get 4 pounds of bananas for $1.49.  There are lots of other bulk bargains.

Note: <888> 10/20/05 Thursday 2:25 P.M.:  I went out after the last message.  I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop, and I bought a Koh-i-noor Rapidograph Slim Pack  set of 7 Rapidograph Technical Pens for $2.  They do not look like they have been used, and their original retail price was $83.50.  I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street, and while waiting in line I ate three croissants and two other small cakes which they had out for customers.  I then went downtown, and I went by the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop, and I bought a small brass picture frame two inches by three inches for one dollar.  I then used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I then drove over to Costco in Port Chester, New York which was quite busy.  They have a new Lowe's movie theatre complex at the center of Port Chester, New York where Costco is along with a Marshall's discount clothing outlet.  At Costco, they have the LaCrosse weather station with ceiling projection for $40 and the Oregon Scientific weather station with ceilng projection for $35, but neither has barometric pressure.  I can not afford either at the moment.  They have a very good surge protector power strip with cable surge protection for $20.  I bought a six pack of 19 ounce cans of Hormel Steakhouse beef stew for $9.69, a six pack of Lindsay extra large pitted black olives 6 ounce dry weight cans for $5.29, a 16 ounce container of Kraft grated parmesan cheese for $4.99, a golden fresh pineapple about five pounds for $2.99, a two pound package of Kirkland sliced honey roasted turkey for $7.14,  a two pound package of Jarlsberg lite sliced cheese for $7.39, a two pound bag of Kirkland almonds for $7.49 for $44.98 total.  The Costco carts can be a bit hard to push around because their wheels seem to be worn out, so one should be sure to get one with wheels that work properly.  I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.  I put the little brass frame on the CD cabinet on the dining room table.  I do not have a picture in it yet.  I put the Rapidograph set on the sideboard in the bedroom with other odd items I keep around the apartment.  I have an old friend that disappeared into the government I think who use to work with Rapidographs.  CIO

Monday for Hurricane Wilma to cross the east coast of Florida at Jupiter, Florida Hurricane WILMA Coastal Watches/Warnings and 5-Day Cone .  Of course that can all change, and since the Florida Keys will be on the east side of the hurricane as it presently tracks, and since the east side of Key West, Florida is deep water, they still could get a storm surge according to the present tracking.  Currently tracking shows it coming ashore between Naples and Fort Meyers, Florida.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/20/05 Thursday 12:05 A.M.:  My Seth Thomas three instrument weather instrument cluster had fallen off the wall over a year ago where it hangs next to the hallway sweater closet.  I took apart the barometer, and I looked at http://www.indianharboryc.com/weather1.htm , and I set it to 29.9, and hopefully it will now work again.  I also adjusted the Jensen barometer on the back of my apartment door to 29.9.  Thus hopefully both barometers in the apartment now work correctly.  This is the weather station that I would like to get Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Oregon Scientific BAR898HGA Wireless Weather Station , but I am not sure that I can afford it this month.  It has a barometer which other ones like this Amazon.com: Oregon Scientific BAR888NA Cable Free Weather Forecaster with ExactSet Clock and Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer: Explore similar items  do not and the later one needs to have its shipping paid for, so for about $8 more one can get the unit with the barometer.  Thus from what I can tell, I would get this one Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Oregon Scientific BAR898HGA Wireless Weather Station .  CIO

Note: <888> 10/19/05 Wednesday 10:05 P.M.:  Florida Division of Emergency Management .  I chatted with a relative twice in Vero Beach, Florida, and they intend to stay there instead of leaving the area.  I chatted with another relative who is leaving for Rome, Italy tomorrow and sailing back across the Atlantic on Holland America cruise lines to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  They get good cruise rates this time of year.  I opened a 15 ounce can of Dinty Moore beef stew, and I put it in a microwave proof plastic pot with lid, and I reheated it on the reheat cycle of the General Electric microwave oven, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.  On the five day forecast tracking Hurricane WILMA Coastal Watches/Warnings and 5-Day Cone the tracking has changed from noon today to at present .  Judging from http://www.jacobsonsplants.com/find/images/florida.gif the tracking on Hurricane Wilma over the east coast of Florida changed from going over Fort Pierce around Sunday morning as of tracking at noon today, and it now shows it going over Jupiter, Florida on Sunday morning.  If the southern or downward trend of the tracking continues, it means the more heavily populated area of south Florida from West Palm Beach down to Miami might be effected.   I chatted with the Bank of New York, and they told me the $81.05 from the computer microscope that I cancelled should be restored to my account tomorrow morning.   CIO

Note: <888> 10/19/05 Wednesday 11:05 A.M.:  I chatted with two relatives, and I left messages with two other relatives.  I called up the Casa Marina in Key West, Florida http://www.casamarinakeywest.com/ 1-800-626-0777, and they had started to evacuate, and they left one poor little girl behind from the Philippines whom did not know whether it was safe to stay down there or not.  I called St. Paul's Episcopal Church  in Key West, at 1-305-296-5142 , and they did not know whether they were going to evacuate or not.  They told me St. Margaret's church next to the Casa Marina hotel is no longer there.  Since Hurricane Wilma is coming from the west side of Key West, Florida where the water is deeper, the storm surge might be greater than if it came from the east side of the island.  I guess much of the rest of the state of Florida is in a state of flux and does not know what to do.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 12:30 P.M.:  I took three medium organic eggs, and I broke them in a mixing bowl, and I added two teaspoons of milk and a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and I used a whisk to mix it all together until it was bubbly.  I then took my 8 inch seasoned omelet pan, I place it on the large electric burner on medium high heat, and I added two tablespoons of olive oil and two pads of margarine, until the fat began to bubble.  A seasoned omelet pan is one that is NOT washed after use, but one just wipes it off with a paper towel to remove any excess cooking material.  If an omelet pan is well seasoned the omelet should not stick to the pan.  I added the egg mixture, and I turned the heat down to medium, and once the omelet mixture began to bubble and the bottom half is cooked enough, so one can flip it over, I flipped it over.  Once I flipped the omelet, I put a slice of Swiss cheese on one side and then four .5 inch slices of 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream, 15 grape tomatoes and 10 black olives and another slices of Swiss cheese, and then I flipped the empty side of the omelet over the side with the added items, and I put it on a dinner plate, and I sprinkled a couple of teaspoons of grated parmesan cheese over it.  While cooking the omelet, I toasted on the inside two halves of a bagel which my toaster can toast on one side, and I added a little bit of olive oil spread around the toasted sides.  I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  I noticed when I was out at Tod's Point this morning, when at night when one can see New York harbor clearly, that is a tidal wave from the Canary Islands entered into Long Island Sound, it probably would not effect Greenwich and Byram, but possibly Riverside, Old Greenwich, and Stamford would be effected.  It is hard to tell.  Of course a large tidal wave might not be broken by Manhattan Island or Long Island, so technically it could be worse if it ever did happen.  Various governments have studied this fact, but they have never released the information to the general public, since they do not want to scare the general public.  CIO
