Friday 6: 45 P. M.: I installed this driver

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 11:00 A.M.:  I went out after the last message, and my Volvo station wagon was a little bit slow starting, since I have an alarm system that drains the battery down.  I took it for a drive down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. I then went by the ATM machine at Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street.   I then drove over to Old Greenwich out to Tod's Point in the dark, and I stood out at the southwest and the southeast parking areas until sunrise.  I then stopped by downtown Old Greenwich at 7 A.M., but the Hair Cut Place was not opened until 8 A.M..  I then drove by Staples, but they were not opened until 8 A.M..  I drove back to downtown Greenwich, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  They have the new train station platform opened, but they do not have the elevator installed on the new pedestrian cross over.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought a 7 ounce bag of black licorice for $1.19 plus .07 tax for $1.26 total.  I got $4 in bonus bucks, and I bought a 500 count package of Georgia Pacific copy paper which is also for laser printers for $4.99 less the $4 off bonus bucks for .99 plus .06 tax for $1.05 total.  I then completed my walk.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and they have a buy one get one free for the same price or less on clothing.  I noticed Christopher Peacock Welcome to Christopher Peacock Cabinetry has a large showroom across the street west of the Greenwich Library.  They use to be on Greenwich Avenue.  I then went by the Arnold Bread store outlet, and I bought two 6 bagel bags of New York multiseed bagels for $1.85 each bag and two 5.5 ounce bags of Arnold Seasoned regular cut croutons for $1.39 each $6.48 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with our current building custodian, and I told him I saw our original building custodian downtown, and he is as big as a horse.  I chatted with another computer magazine, and I had them send it to me in Digital format which saves trees.  I noticed at QM2 - Itinerary - 2005 it is due to be in Manhattan this Thursday October 20 and again November 1.  I am not sure if I will order the weather station or not, since it has some drawbacks according to the comments, but it is a good price if one does not want to turn on the computer to see the outside temperature.  Amazon.com: Outdoor Living: Oregon Scientific BAA182HG Digital Weather Forecaster .  The order has to be over $25 to get free shipping, and the batteries at the bottom of the page would put it there.   CIO 

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 5:10 A.M.:  I opened a 18 ounce can of Progresso Creamy Chicken with wild rice soup, and I put it in a plastic microwave pot with lid, and I heated it on the reheat cycle in the General Electric microwave oven.  I put the hot soup in a large cobalt blue soup bowl with a couple of handfuls of Arnold Caesar croutons, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  With President Bush's poll ratings at 39% CNN.com - Bush's job rating continues to drop - Oct 17, 2005, I guess many of the republican faithful are fleeing this area to safer home grounds.  I guess all that we are left with are the Rockefeller republicans with what remains of their few Swiss dairy cows.  At this rate Hilary and her hairdresser will be running the country soon.  Well, one usually has to get up early in the morning to milk the cows, so I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up, and I will go downtown in Greenwich, Connecticut to see if the lights are still turned on.  Current weather in Greenwich, Connecticut is 50 degrees Fahrenheit Greenwich, Connecticut (06830) Forecast : Weather Underground , so I will have to remember wear a heavier jacket or a sweater for my walk.  CIO   

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 4:00 A.M.:  It looks like Tropical Storm Wilma will be near Key West, Florida at 8 P.M. on this Saturday Tropical Storm WILMA Coastal Watches/Warnings and 5-Day Cone .  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 3:55 A.M.:  I went through all of the television channels on my Optimum Digital television system.  The New Zealand rugby match was sort of interesting in that it looks like they still let the people in New Zealand eat food, since they seemed to be a bit hardier that we seem to be.   Of course our computers probably work better, since we sacrifice our food consumption for better computer parts, so the Asians can get bigger that sell the computer parts to us.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 2:25 A.M.:  I went through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 2:10 A.M.:  Microsoft updates Windows Vista test code | CNET News.com .  CIO

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 2:05 A.M.:  At http://connect.microsoft.com/ Vista Beta 1 Build 5231 is available for beta testers in both DVD and CD.  However, if one installs it over the earlier version of Vista Beta 1, one will not be able to upgrade it to beta 2 when beta 2 is released.  Thus I will not be installing it.  However, for beta testers without a DVD drive, it is now available in CD.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/18/05 Tuesday 12:30 A.M.:  I rested on the sofa some more.  I ate a couple of handfuls of Planter's dry roasted peanuts.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 9:50 P.M.:  CNN.com - D.C. panda gets a name - Oct 17, 2005 and  http://animal.discovery.com/cams/pandavidr.html and half way down the page http://www.cnn.com/ .  CIO

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 9:40 P.M.:  Just as I was about to go out after the last message, my 4 P.M. appointment called, and said that my appointment was cancelled.  I then went downstairs, and I threw out some garbage, and I picked up the mail.  I then took a nap until 6 P.M..  I watched a Turner movie channel vintage movie by Tennessee Williams called "Sebastian", which I had seen before.  It sort of shows the quaint manners and morals of southern life.  I chatted with a friend and a relative.  Apparently my relative whom was drugged in Boston went out with some friends on Friday night and was dancing and left a wine glass where they were sitting, and while they were dancing somebody put something in my relative's wine glass that messed up my relative.  I next microwaved and ate a 21 ounce Maria Callender lasagna with meat to which I added a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.  I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  I do not think I have been out since about Thursdays, when I got groceries, so I am getting a bit of cabin fever.  They tell me the weather is nice out.  I still have not had my account credited with the cancelled computer microscope, so I can not yet buy the weather station.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 2:15 P.M.:  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 50% mixture of cold orange juice with a 50% 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 will now shower and clean up.  I will turn off the computer.  I will go out for my 4 P.M. appointment.   With the lower level of activity in this area because of the higher prices of gasoline and because of the impending very cold winter and because of the chance of terrorism in this area, more than likely there will be very fewer people out and about, since any people left in this area are probably just staying home.  Current weather in Greenwich, Connecticut http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=06830 .  CIO    

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 1:05 P.M.:  I had two no person telephone calls at noon and shortly there after.  I got online at www.bluedeals.com , and I was able to cancel the order for the QX3 Computer Microscope.  It still has not yet shown up on my bank account.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 4:45 A.M.:  Nothing ever seems to happen here, so maybe I am in Greenwich, China.  The Chinese however do seem to be few and far between.  I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I have a 4 P.M. appointment today.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 4:25 A.M.:  I chatted with Optimum Online technical support, and I told them what I know about the Canary Islands, and that possibly a terrorist could cause the rift in the Canary Islands to happen sooner generating a tidal wave across the Atlantic.  Of course it probably has happened before in prehistory, and the old world people know this.  I suggested that Cablevision should have a backup facility on high ground.  I found a convenient email address on the waterfront in Manhattan, and I emailed them the same thing.  Basically, it would take a large force to prematurely dislodge the broken off piece of the Canary Islands, but technically it is possible.  I think I would be safe here in Fairfield County, Connecticut and possibly Long Island might be safe because of Fire Island, but I am not sure about New Jersey and Manhattan.  That is really all that I know.  Why is it in this area, the oldest most prosperous families always seem to live on the high ground.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 2:35 A.M.:  I made and ate Michael Louis Scott's Pork and Beans with Franks .  I used a 16 ounce tin of B&M maple flavored baked beans in the mixture, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.  George Cary told me, when he retires in 10 years, he is thinking about buying a horse farm in Goshen, New York near West Point, New York.  I know he can not afford to pay help to run a horse farm, so I guess he is going to try to run it all himself in his old age with his wife and children.  He does not seem to worry about having a hospital nearby as he gets older.  I guess in an emergency, a veterinarian could help him out.  I do not know if civilians are allowed to use the hospital at the West Point military academy.  Of course, once you spend your whole life around horses, I guess you would not want to be left without them.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 1:20 A.M.:  I can not afford to go to the Greenwich Library regularly, but for $20 one can copy the DVDs from the Greenwich Library if one has a DVD burner Surplus Computers DVD X Copy Platinum Version 4.0.3.8  .  CIO

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 1:15 A.M.:  I chatted with the Greenwich Country Club at 1-203-869-1000, and they still have somebody at the desk there at night, but Kennedy Security has not worked it for several years.  There was once somebody that worked there that looked Ronald Reagan, and he worked for Wells Fargo Security.  They explained to me that they can not afford to keep their internet connection up and running, so I guess the golfing crowd took all the money and went south.  I guess we are stuck with all of the Wall Street bean counters that work for the retired people.  As I have said before 77% of the private money in the United States of America is controlled by little old ladies over 70 years old, so that mean the rest of use only control 23% percent of the money.  As anyone knows in the United States of America, we are not a communist country, and we mostly have private property, so without money one can not do anything, but sit at whatever place one has that one calls home, and wait until the people from down south come back up north in the spring, and hopefully one will earn a little extra money to survive the winter.  I think I know the fellow at the desk at the Greenwich Country Club.  He always wears a white sweater downtown in the morning that says Greenwich Country Club, and he walks a golden retriever.  Of course Larry Lawson of the Greenwich Library fame is also a member of the Greenwich Country Club, and his law firm on East Elm Street is being repainted and improved, so he must have some new money from somewhere.  The old guard in this area frequently have much larger law firms, and some of them even have as many at 10,000 lawyers, so the price of litigation can be quite costly depending on whom one bothers.  I once recommended to Bill Gates instead of hiring expensive lawyers that he hire 1,000 legal graduate students from the University of Illinois at $10 an hour and to flood the courts with paperwork, but he did not take my advise about these Mickey Mouse lawsuits.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/17/05 Monday 12:45 A.M.:  I called up the RCMP headquarters in London, Ontario RCMP Ontario Detachment Directory , and I tried to explain to them, it is my perspective, we are going to have a hard time surviving this winter.  I will keep a keen out this winter for Sergeant Preston and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  Of course it is not winter yet, but it does not hurt to try to get ready for winter while it is still warmer.  The only thing that would have probably caused all of the rain that we had the last couple of weeks is that a volcano erupted somewhere in the world that has not yet been reported, and more than likely it is going to be a colder this winter than expected and probably next winter too.  I am prepared, but are you?  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 11:40 P.M.:  In times of war, things are not generally the same as times of peace.  In my family a great many of the immediate family are like diplomats or representatives from a larger power.  My recommendation to Clarence Scott my grandfather if somebody still could contact him would be for the United States Government to go to Marshall Law at home and in all its territories and processions and to forget this quaint notion of peacetime democracy.  That is my fervent belief, if he wants to protect his family and neighbors.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 11:20 P.M.:  A strange thing happened this weekend.  When on Friday a Microsoft representative from Boston called up to invite me to a Microsoft event in Manhattan, I gave the Microsoft representative the name of a relative in Boston.  This same weekend the relative in Boston was poisoned, and her friends are taking care of the relative after going to the Boston hospital.  If the Microsoft representative is behind the poisoning which knowing Microsoft might be the case, I will contact my General Electric representative, and I will have them pull all the General Electric engines from the Boeing aircraft, and Boeing will be left with a bunch of beer cans.  If you want me to give you more examples about how to exercise supreme power, keep testing my patience.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 10:45 P.M.:  I checked with the Thataway Cafe , and their wireless internet only works in the bar area, and it does not work in the dining room or outside.  Locally my building seems to have wireless internet, but I do not know if it works outside the building.  I could try it, outside my apartment in front of the building, but at the moment, I have other things to do.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 10:30 P.M.:  Wireless internet set up at the Greenwich Library Greenwich Time - No better place than Greenwich for those who drive the best , but if you read the fine print, they have it set up, so users can not access it from the parking lot when the libraries are closed.  However, I think the Thataway cafe at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue has wireless access that you might be able to pick up from outside, but you would have to ask the bartender for the password.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 10:20 P.M.:  It looks like the United States Navy webmaster in Pensacola, Florida might get a little wet in a week or so, if Tropical Depression Twenty-four known as Hurricane Wilma continues its current course Tropical Depression TWENTY-FOUR Coastal Watches/Warnings and 5-Day Cone , of course it might increase in stength, and it still could change course and head over Florida.  As of now, the previous mentioned action has not happened.  CIO 

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 10:15 P.M.:  Now if this old guard type has supreme control over the internet, they would be able to void my purchase of the computer microscope, and release the money back into my bank account, so I could buy the Oregon Pacific weather station.  Obviously, they do not have supreme control over the internet, since this action has not yet happened.  In other words, I am calling your bluff, until I see it happen.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 10:00 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I am not going out, since I have spent more time out at this time of night in this area than anyone that I know.  Based on my experience with the local weather the local Mountain Lion population has not yet migrated down to Florida, and although I have not been paid in 22 years of my volunteer activity, I do not feel like risking my butt in this area being outside, just so some old guard type can use my apartment to meet up with his mistress.  Apparently the character's wife does not really care, but she has the money, and he does not, so I will advise them to go to family counseling and to quit bothering me in my private apartment.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 8:10 P.M.:  I went through my email.  I chatted with a relative.  I shut down the four backup computers.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 7:20 P.M.:  I was up at 4 P.M. when a neighbor buzzed me.  I went downstairs, and my neighbor gave me $5 for the four packs of Seneca cigarettes that I had leant the neighbor.  I sat outside a while, and I watch the local activity.  I came upstairs, and I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 50% mixture of cold orange juice with a 50% 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 outside, and I threw out some garbage, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I started up all five computers that are online in my apartment, and I am installing the updates.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I have been taking CVS Enzyme tables with my vitamins and supplements for breakfast to relieve some of the intestinal gas that I seem to get from my diet that I have been on for a long time.  It is the nature of the Scott family that they all seem to have lots of intestinal gas, unless they get it from the Boven family.  I guess that is why they call him the Duke of Windsor  or Lord Breakwind.  CIO

End of Scott's Notes week of 10/16/05:

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 4:50 A.M.:  I finished my email.  I took a little bit of time to see what was happening on the moving picture box.  They have a vintage 1950s movie about aliens taking over the planet by changing the weather.  It looks like one of those low budget Howard Hughes type movies that RKO use to run as the second feature on the weekend double feature matinees.  Of course it is the nature of the planet around these parts, that the weather does tend to get colder this time of year.  Thus if one intends to stay in this neck of the woods for the winter, one should get ready for winter.  It will probably another couple of weeks before I seal up and insulate my General Electric air conditioner, because we still have yet to get Indian Summer, where it can be warmer.  I will now send out my weekly notes.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/16/05 Sunday 3:30 A.M.:  I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm.  For the cheddar cheese portion, I used mozzarella cheese.  I used 12 grape tomatoes.  I used all of the other regular ingredients.  I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea.  I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/15/05 Saturday 11:50 P.M.:  It is a rather peculiar fact of the environmental movement that with all of the world's environmental problems, a great many of the Kennedy connection environmental activities seem to be involved in locations around the world where illegal narcotics are produced and transported.  Thus I would say since the Kennedy, Roosevelt, Mellon group were involved in illegal bootlegging of liquor during for prohibition that more than likely they consider themselves above the law, and their environmental activities are a cover for the production and distribution of illegal narcotics and other illegal activities.  It is such a large group of them involved in the activity, that I think it is an open secret.  As Everett Dirksen said when he read John Kennedy's list of cabinet appointments, the only think missing was the Sherriff.  I have a feeling from what I read the Viet Nam war that it was a turf battle over illegal narcotics, and that it is a major business, and the parties interested seem to be organized to fight to protect their turf.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/15/05 Saturday 11:20 P.M.:  I started one dryer load.  We have a local election going on in which the republicans will probably win.  A great many people here in Greenwich, Connecticut are well educated, and they do not buy the liberal propaganda machine on television.  There are a great many of odd things about the democratic party between what they say and do.   For example it is widely advertised that the Robert Kennedy family is related to the Skakel family of the local murder trial fame.  However, although the Robert Kennedy family advertise themselves as world class environmentalists.  It is a less published fact the Skakel family wealth is derived from their ownership of Great Northern Carbide.  Great Northern Carbide is the largest producer of asbestos in the world, and the major cause of the overwhelming asbestos pollution in Lake Superior on whose banks they have major production facilities.  Thus it would seem a lot of their public relations as far as the environmental movement is a way of covering up their major environmental sins, and it never made sense to me why environmentalists have to use so much energy traveling around the world to save the environment.  I would recommend that some of these environmental groups publish their energy expenditures and be audited.  CIO

Note: <888> 10/15/05 Saturday 10:45 P.M.:  I woke up at 8 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 50% mixture of cold orange juice with a 50% 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 a relative.  I ran Windows and Office updates.   I ran Norton Updates.  I ran Norton WinDoctor 2003 and Ad-awareSE.  I then did a System Restore backup.  I ran CCleaner.  I then did a Windows XP Professional Automatic System Recovery backup from the C: drive to the D: drive.  I started two loads of laundry, and I have 15 minutes to go on the dry cycle.  I will now put clean linens on the bed.  CIO
