Note: <888> 12/01/05 Thursday 11:05 P.M.: And here it is on sale at the www.thecoop.com for $355 for coop members down from $395 Classic Harvard Chair on sale for $355 for coop member MIT & Harvard Coop - merchandise store - insignia, clothing, gifts, chairs, posters, frames, books, furniture, t-shirts cloth clothes gift chair poster book apparel t-shirt sloan mit harvard photo plus $55 shipping. Thus new it would cost to have shipped if one were not a Coop member $450, so I got it for 90% off at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, since in Yale country Harvard is not very popular, and there are probably some Harvard people around here whom would agree. Thus I think I found a good practical chair for my kitchen, and since I also studied Latin, I know that Veritas means "Truth", and since I have seen the emblem of Harvard before I recognized it right off. Also there is nowhere on the chair that it actually says Harvard, but on the plastic label on the bottom that somebody attached at some other time. However, I can not afford red or should I say crimson cushion. Anyway, I think it will support my current weight of 200 pounds. However, I am not going to apply for the freshman class at Harvard at age 55, and I can not afford to move anyway. CIO Note: <888> 12/01/05 Thursday 10:45 P.M.: When I went to Lake Forest College www.lfc.edu Debbie Windsor from Marblehead, Massachusetts was one of my sister's classmates at Lake Forest College, one of my roommates at Lake Forest College Tim McMurray dated her. Also I recall she had a brother or a cousin Johnny Windsor, I recall meeting up in Nantucket around 1968, and I was told he died driving off a cliff in Colorado while he was going to Colorado College. Back in Nantucket in the summer of 1977, while I was staying at Mrs. Florence Frances' guest house at 31 India Street for $5 a night in Nantucket as a long term seasonal resident usually from April to December, a mother and a son from Westport, Connecticut showed up, and the mother left her son for the summer at Flossie's or as the kids called it "Flossie's Flop House". While dropping off her son there, the mother noticed that in Flossie's entrance hall, she had a matching pair of two old Windsor chairs, and as I recall, she paid $5,000 apiece to buy both of them or $10,000. Flossie did not seem very upset at having lost such valuable family heirlooms, as if there were more of them around some place else. Well, my point is back in the period I was a photographer for Polaroid around Cambridge, Massachusetts from 1968 to 1971 with other time at Polaroid programming Cobal and working as a construction worker on summer and winter holiday jobs, I would frequently go to the Harvard Coop in Harvard Square. As I recall the new version of the same chair in that period cost about $200. Also I recall once a piece of furniture is 50 years old, it can be considered an antique, so therefore in another four years, the chair will be an antique Windsor chair. Of course for it to be a valuable antique Windsor chair, it has to over a 100 years old made in England not Massachusetts. Thus I still feel like the Duke of Windsor's house boy. Thus certain blue blood social register types or probably busy trying to figure out whom in the area might be initials "MCP". Well in this area, it might be somebody like "Marshall Chatsworth Putnam" . However, since I know a bit of French, and since I have visited Canada number of times, I think MCP stands for "Militaire Canadia Polica" which loosely translated into English stands for "Canadian Military Police". If I am mistaken you might check with Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but more than likely he his out hunting moose to feed his huskies. I chatted with a relative. CIO Note: <888> 12/01/05 Thursday 8:55 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Arnold Bread outlet, and I bought a 5 ounce bag of Arnold regular cut seasoned croutons for $1.39 and a six bagel package of New York everything bagels for $1.85 for $3.24 total. I then went by the Valley Road post office, and I mailed a letter. I bought 20 Madonna and Child and 20 Santa Claus and Raindeer stamps for 40 stamps total at .37 apiece for $14.80 total. It was not very busy yet. I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Service Exxon station next to the Greenwich Library, and I bought $14.75 of premium unleaded gasoline at $2.699 a gallon for 81.3 miles total driving for the last 20 days at 14.1 miles per gallon usage averaging driving 12 miles per hour. I next checked all four of my tires for 32 pounds per square inch inflated pressure. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. The younger security guard seemed to be interested in the military, and I told him some people join up for a six pack of beer. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought a 1959 black hard wood and natural and gold Nichols and Stone Company Nichols and Stone of Gardner, Massachusetts, "The House of Windsor Chairs" model #66 - SDC Black "Veritas" emblem Harvard University chair, with a blue and white plastic label on the bottom saying "Harvard Chair to Kimball Prince from MCP New in 1959" for $45, similar to the black and cherry stained arms model screened in on this page Nichols & Stone COLLEGE SEALS, but like this Classic Chair Harvard The History of The Chair. One can buy a similar chair here today Everything Harvard - The Classic Chair by FW Lombard . The contemporary Harvard chair is $395 Chair Reviews Contemporary Harvard Chair , so the classic Harvard Chair would probably be around $500, since it has more workmanship. I then went to my 3 P.M. appointment. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street again. I mentioned to the younger security guard that I had been walking around banks for most of my life. I then sat out briefly downtown, and it was not too busy. I then drove by the waterfront, and it was not too busy. I then went back by the Arnold Bread outlet, and I bought a Entenmann's 28 ounce apple pie for $2, a 14 ounce bag of Arnold sag and onion stuffing for $2.79, and three 5 ounce bags of Arnold regular cut seasoned croutons for $1.39 each for $8.96 total. I then returned home, and I carried up my purchases. I took the old grey swivel high back computer chair out of the kitchen, which was a bit heavy to lift out, but I removed it since it blocks the General Electric stove. I put the new Harvard chair in its location. I put a yellow and blue cushion on it, and then I put a dark Navy blue cushion on that I took off the computer desk chair in the bedroom. I put the pink plum cushion from the swivel chair that was in the kitchen, and I put it on the computer desk chair in the bedroom. I moved around a couple of the cushions on the backs of the chairs in the bedroom. I took the candy and popcorn off of the floor location in the kitchen, so there is nothing on the floor underneath the chair in the kitchen, and I put the candy and popcorn back in the left living room closet between the set of old regular style Volvo wheels which have less tread on them than my high performance tires on my Volvo. I then wheeled the grey swivel chair downstairs, and I used it to reset the ground fault interrupter on the Holiday Christmas lights outside the north wing of the building. I then took it over to the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I donated it to them. They said they might be able to use it as shop property. It originally came from the dumpster area at the Greenwich Train station lower parking lot, and it was covered with plaster dust left over from the building renovation, and I cleaned it up, and it looked and was quite serviceable, but there is no room for it in my apartment. I then returned home. The Harvard chair fits in well in the kitchen, and if one moves the Rubbermaid garbage can, one can now easily move the Harvard chair to the Rubbermaid garbage can location, so one can have easy access to the General Electric stove oven and the cabinet and drawer to its left and the bookcase pantry on the other side of the Harvard chair. Thus I have done a minor improvement to the apartment. Each month I try to do a minor improvement to both the apartment and my computer setup.

CIO Note: <888> 12/01/05 Thursday 2:10 A.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go back to bed. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. CIO Note: <888> 12/01/05 Thursday 1:55 A.M.: I woke up at 6 P.M.. I started installing Vista beta 1 version 5231 on the extra partition on my primary computer. 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 chatted with two relatives. When I went to configured the Vista beta, it seemed like one of my XP drivers was causing a memory leak since in the Task Manager, it indicated CPU usage of 100%. I thus reinstalled the beta again. However, with no extra XP drivers installed, I had the same problem. It might be unique to my computer configuration. If I boot Vista beta 1 version 5231 with the router turned off, it boots up the network, and most of the time its seems work online once I then turn on the router after booting up. I went ahead and did a minor configuration of Vista beta 1 version 5231. A couple of times, when I booted with the router turned off, the Task Manager did show 100% CPU usage. However, most of the time if I boot with the Siemens router turned off, the Vista beta 1 version 5231 does seem to work all right and go online once I turn on the router. A lot of the smaller programs that I was able to install on the earlier beta would not install, since the are XP programs. I picked up my mail downstairs earlier. I just microwaved a 16 ounce Marie Callender turkey pot pie, which I will eat shortly with a glass of iced tea. CIO Download 1.37 Mb. Share with your friends:
