Note: <888> 09/01/05 Thursday 4:30 A.M.:  Of course Louis Armstrong was fairly well known around New Orleans jazz circles.  When I knew Wily Middleton down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida back in 1976, he claims his coffee importing business had two large warehouses one in Jacksonville, Florida and the other in New Orleans, Louisiana, so depending on the state of the New Orleans coffee warehouse, the price of coffee might be going up.  He claimed those two coffee warehouses imported all of the coffee into the United States of America.  I ate about 20 tricuits.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/05 Thursday 3:10 A.M.:  Of course in the old days, my grandfather Clarence Scott use to know a bit about the City of New Orleans, because as a railroad engineer on the Illinois Central Railroad living in Champaign, Illinois, for 50 years one of the primary runs, he was a locomotive engineer on was the train they called the "City of New Orleans"as in the song by Arlo Guthrie whose father Woodie Guthrie my grandfather knew.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/05 Thursday 2:05 A.M.:  On Sunday night Monday morning, when I took a walk on Greenwich Avenue, I heard music coming from the Thataway Cafe at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue, and they were playing what I think is a vintage New Orleans song, "Mr. Bojangles".  Of course back in the winter of 1971, just before I left for Europe for the first time, Don McClean's song "American Pie" was very popular.  I particularly remember the lyrics, "Good Old Boys Drinking Whisky and Rye", "I Drove My Chevy to Levee, and the Levee Was Dry."  I guess it is pretty bad down there in New Orleans.  Possibly the United States Army Corps of Engineers should check with some Dutch Engineers, since the Dutch know a lot of about Levees or Dykes, since half of their country is below sea level.  Since New Orleans is the primary port serving the Mississippi River delivering all of the food grains and other bulk materials out of the Midwest for delivery around the world, more than likely those countries overseas that depend on the goods delivered out of the Port of New Orleans will have to wait a while for delivery of the bulk items such as grains out of the Midwest.  I have an Audubon bird print at my bedroom entry way of the "Louisiana Heron".  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/05 Thursday 12:55 A.M.:  I was up at 12:30 P.M. yesterday.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, a 50% to 50% mixture of Florida orange juice and filtered cold water, vitamins, supplements, and coffee.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I then went to my 3:45 P.M. appointment for follow up on Lipitor.  I have to go back for blood work during the last week of September.  I then see the Doctor again during the first week of October.  I then returned home.  I went to bed until 11:30 P.M..  I reheated the cooked spaghetti and the remaining half of a 26 ounce jar of Ragu tomato sauce which I added a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese to.  I ate it all with a glass of ice tea.  I watched some of the hurricane aftermath news.  I drank a cup of coffee.  I washed my dishes, and I made my bed.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/31/05 Monday 11:35 P.M.:  I ate the last two scoops of Edy's low fat slow churn butter pecan ice cream.  I moved the Lexmark X85 printer, scanner, copier from the right side of the Northgate backup computer to on top of the HP LaserJet IID printer on the dining room table.  I connected its power to the power strip on the left side of the primary computer on its coffee table, and I used a 15 foot USB cable to plug it into the USB 2.0 port on the top rear of the primary computer.  I downloaded and installed the Lexmark X85 printer drivers and software.  I thus have it hooked up to the primary computer.  I can use other printers for the Northgate backup computer.  The reason I put the Lexmark X85 in its new location is that it is more easily accessible for copying and other functions.  I only use the HP LaserJet IID printer that it sits on top of three times a year, when I print out my Scott's Notes.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/31/05 Monday 10:25 P.M.:  I was told by a relative that one should have if one can afford it a "Coronary Calcium Scoring CT Cat Scan on the Heart".  I think this tests for calcium buildup in the heart.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/30/05 Sunday 10:35 P.M.:  I went out after the last message.  I drove all the way to downtown Greenwich, Connecticut from Byram, Connecticut which is about one mile as the crow flies.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I chatted with one local resident that keeps an eye on the train station.  I stopped by CVS, but they are out of black licorice, so I guess it is very popular for Halloween.  At the north side veterans bench I found a Anne Taylor bag with a pink girls tutu in it.  I gave the bag to the police officer at the desk at the Greenwich Police station, and they noticed it also had a sales receipt in it, so they can track down the person that lost it.  I next drove down by the waterfront, but nobody was there, since I do not think the fishing is that good this late in the year.  I then returned home, and I chatted with two relatives.  I ate six spice wafers with some iced tea.  I made a mistake a couple of months ago in my notes.  I said that when the Cadillac Oldsmobile dealership was bought out at West Putnam Avenue when Bob Watson would not renew their lease, that there were no more General Motors dealerships left in Greenwich.  In fact the Cadillac dealership move in with the SAAB dealership on Old Track Road just west of the Greenwich Train Station.  It is a smaller dealership with perhaps 30 cars, but I suppose they could get and service any Cadillac that one might need.  If I am not mistake SAAB is also owned by Chevrolet.  The largest car dealerships I know of in this area are up in Danbury, Connecticut where there is more room for such large dealerships.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/30/05 Sunday 5:45 P.M.:  Here is a more recent picture of the Aga Khan with his German wife and child Imamat Day 2001 Mowlana Hazar Imam's 44th year of Imamat .  The Aga Khan besides being a holy person is also a medical doctor and legally a Swiss citizen, which makes him politically neutral.  I am not sure whether they have had any more children since then or just the one, but he has children by his earlier marriage.  There are links at the bottom of the page to other related web sites, such as Imamat Day July 11, 2004 - 47th Anniversary.  Thus according to this His Highness the Aga Khan's 68th Birthday , he will be 69 years old on December 13, 2005, but people frequently forget his birthday since it is near Christmas Time.  I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up, and I will go out.  I can not figure out which horses the Aga Khan had running in the Breeder's Cup, and a search of the word "Khan" at www.breederscup.com comes up with NTRA Dalakhani wins l'Arc de Triomphe .  CIO

Note: <888> 10/30/05 Sunday 1:05 P.M.:  I woke up at 8 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 1 P.M..  I chatted with a friend about 10 A.M..  I ate 8 and then 6 spice wafers when I woke up for short periods during the morning.  CIO  

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 10:05 P.M.:  I ate a  9 ounce can of Planter's cashew nut bits and halves with some iced tea.  I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed.  Current temperature outside is 41.2 degrees Fahrenheit and 70% humidity and inside it is 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 30% humidity.  Before I go to bed I will adjust all my clocks and set them back an hour which will take a bit of time.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 9:05 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative.  The telephone rang on the other line, while I was chatting with the relative, but I am not sure how to put one person on hold and chat with another.  I refilled the kitchen Glade plug-in refill with a 60% mixture of English Leather cologne and 40% of 80% isopropyl alcohol.  CIO

End of Scott's Notes week of 10/29/05:

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 7:30 P.M.:  I watched some television, but not much is on.  I had a cup of Salada green tea with a packet of Splenda sweetner and a tablespoon of lemon juice.  I drank it with eight spice wafers.  I also ate a bowl of the pineapple mixture.  Early this coming morning is the end of daylight savings time, so one will set back one's clocks at 2 A.M. to 1 A.M..  Spring forward and fall back.  If during the colder weather, one does not have much to do, one can always read a book.  I will now send out my weekly notes.  CIO  

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 5:35 P.M.:  I went through my email.  I normally do not go out in the evening, when I am up early in the morning, because as the day drags on, this time of day I do not have as much energy.  I usually go out later in the day, when I am on a night schedule, and I happen to wake up later in the day.  I am beginning to get a bit of cabin fever from being inside so much, but it is better than enduring the colder weather outside.  Technically I could go outside, but I am warmer and more comfortable inside, so why should I go outside.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 5:15 P.M.:  I woke up from my nap.   I ate four scoops of Edy's slow churn low fat butter pecan ice cream and one Kellogg's raspberry fruit bar.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 2:00 P.M.:  I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm .  I used a tin of sardines that I chopped.  For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Polly-O 1/3 less fat mozzarella cheese.  I use a plum tomato that I chopped into slivers.  I used all of the other regular ingredients.  I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea.  I will now put the computer on standby, and I will take a nap on the Scott family long green sofa in the living room.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 12:20 P.M.:  I did the computer maintenance, and I threw out some garbage while doing it.  Locally here in Greenwich, Connecticut about the only thing going on is we have another local election next Tuesday, since the second Tuesday of November is election day.  More than likely the republican party will win, since they tend to get out in large numbers and vote republican just to let the democrats know that they still control the town.  We probably have certain democratic operatives causing problems downtown, and basically the republicans usually know how to take care of those problems.  Whatever, the case we seem to have a long cold winter coming ahead.  When I did  a bit of research a couple of weeks ago, I came up with a nice Russian product that the well heeled in Greenwich, Connecticut might like on colder nights.  For hundred bucks you might be a little warmer this winter Overstock.com, save up to 80% every day! 330 tc Siberian Down Comforter .  Of course these might be just as warm Save on the Safe 'N Warm Automatic Warming Blanket at SmartBargains.com or Overstock.com, save up to 80% every day!

Note: <888> 10/29/05 Saturday 1:05 A.M.:  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon.   I will heat a couple scoops of Edy's low fat slow churn ice cream before going to bed.  It is currently 40.5 degrees Fahrenheit outside and 70% humidity and 72.1 degrees Fahrenheit inside and 40% humidity.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/05 Friday 11:00 P.M.:  I took the bolster off the back of the down sofa, and I put it with the bolsters on the bed in the bedroom.  I arranged the afghan throws, comforters, and blankets on the backs of the two living room sofas, so they are more easily accessible during cold weather in the winter.  I actually spend a great deal of time tweaking my apartment besides cleaning it, so everything is just right.  However, I am frequently so close to it in terms of details since I live here, I frequently do not notice certain details in the overall setup.  I suppose I could hire an outside consultant such as Fred Von Mierers, but currently he is working in the Forbidden Palace in China trying to create some European style apartments within the 9,999 rooms of the Forbidden Palace.  After working there all these years, more than likely he would look a bit Chinese, but since his last roommate in Manhattan was Chinese, more than likely he has some help from the Chinese.  Despite his modest attempt at lavish comfort in Manhattan, when he was in Nantucket and Oyster Bay, Long Island he would paint the wood floors white lacquer and the walls and ceiling some sort of shade of white and would live with a few simple pieces of furniture almost like a monk.  I guess that is what gave him so much time in those locations to have time for other activities.  Where as in Manhattan, he was so busy arranging his and other people's homes, he frequently lost sight of the larger picture in terms of what was going on in the world around him.  I hope that does not happen to us here.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/05 Friday 10:45 P.M.:  I put the Cuisinart Complete DLC-7 Disc set less one blade in its box on the lower right side of the bedroom closet.  I did the apartment cleaning and watering the plants.  I threw out the garbage.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/05 Friday 6:30 P.M.:  I toasted three slices of bread, and I put Hellmann's mayonnaise on two of the slices, and then I put one folded 1/32nds inch thick slice of Costco sliced turkey on the piece of bread two 5 inch by 5 inch by 3/64th thick slices of Jarlsberg lite cheese four 3/32nds thick slices of onion, ground black pepper, then I spread Hellmann's mayonnaise on both side of the third sliced of bread and put it on, and then I put another folded 1/32nds thick slice of Costco turkey, two 5 inch by 5 inch by 3/64th thick slices of Jarlsberg lite cheese, five spinach leaves and a few dashes of sea salt and the top piece of toasted bread, and I sliced it in half, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.  I chatted with a relative, and the relative has a Cuisinart DLC-7 model in Kennebunkport, Maine, so I will save the blade set for a relative to transport to Maine in the future.  I will now do my house cleaning and watering the plants, but first I will do the vacuuming, so I do not disturb my neighbors later on in the evening.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/05 Friday 4:55 P.M.:  I went out, and I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and they are continuing their half price sale.  I bought a Cuisinart Complete DLC-7 Disc Set with 9 optional DLC-7 Series discs, but one was missing, so it only had 8 for a cost of $5.  I chatted with the same fellow from India whom showed up a day before the Tsunami in India at Christmas Time, and it was the second time that I had seen him.  I hope no other disasters happen.  However, since I frequently wander about things by second sight which can mess one up, but after I chatted with the fellow from India, I noticed a fellow with a Pacific Bell telephone jacket, so I hope nothing happens on the west coast of the United States.  I took a little extra time in the thrift shop looking for the ninth blade.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought four 10 ounce packages of Stop and Shop Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese for $2 each, a 1.75 quart container of Edy's slow churn 50% less fat Light French Silk ice cream for $2 and a 1.75 quart container of  Edy's low fat Caramel and Pralines frozen yogurt for $2 each, organic Dole bananas in a clear plastic bag for .69 a pound for $1.89, fresh broccoli crowns at .99 a pound for $1.06 for $14.95 total.  I then returned home, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I put away my purchases, but unfortunately the Cuisinart DLC-7 blade set does not fit my standard model Cuisinart, so I will check with my relatives and friends to see if they have that model.  I will probably keep it even if they do not, since the DLC-7 model might show up in the future, and the blade sets are rare in thrift shops. I ate a Kellogg's Nutrigrain raspberry bar.  I will now do my house cleaning and watering the plants.  The internet seems very slow, so I guess with the colder weather more people are staying inside using it.  CIO
