<888> 11/02/14 Sunday 8:20 P.M. Where that $54 million dollar house is for sale Greenwich peninsula property lists for $54 million on the waterfront, one can search http://www.greenwichct.org/government/departments/tax_collector/ for Vista Drive to see how much the taxes are in that neighborhood. They pay a lot of money to watch sea gulls come and go. Of course this former bird watcher from Steamboat Road was never given credit for the 30 or more years I spent keeping an eye on the neighborhood at considerable cost and time for myself. Of course, if one searches property taxes on Steamboat Road, it is not too cheap either. I lived on Steamboat Road from June 1984 to December 1989, I used to pay about $450 a month for a studio apartment at 700 Steamboat Road, when the town was not too prosperous, when I first came off www.nantucket.net . Of course my last residents on Hussey Street in Nantucket in the tiny basement room with a two by four wooden bed was only $40 a week, when the owners of the Languedoc restaurant which owned the Hussey Street building were paying me $8.75 an hour as the head dishwasher before taxes. Thus my viewpoint is a bit different. CIO

<888> 11/01/14 Saturday 10:20 P.M. On Thursday May 25, 2000, I was shot at by a sniper at Tod's Point, and I made note of it in my notes at the time. I might have a hard copy of it somewhere in my files, but the note was deleted by a hacker or intruder over time. I recreated the note to the best of my ability about 11 years later. A copy of the recreated note follows:
On Thursday May 25, 2000, I had my usual medical appointment at 3 P.M.. Afterwards, since it was a nice cool day, I drove over to Old Greenwich to Todd's Point in my 1976 white Volvo 4 door sedan. I saw a teenage boy riding a bicycle with an orange wind breaker, and I also saw a women with Queen Elizabeth's look walking by the wind surfing beach area with a riding crop. I parked behind the bushes at the southwest parking area between 4 and 4:30 P.M.. I walked out to the picnic area, and I sat at a picnic bench watching water fowl on the waterfront. I did not notice any boats on the waterfront. I sat there for about 20 minutes. When I was walking out there, a large chunk of bark fell off a tree limb above the path in front of me. The tree limb was about 12 feet above my head. When I returned back down the pathway, I noticed at the base of that tree, there was a 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch square florescent orange target marker nailed into the base of the tree with a galvanized nail about eight inches off the ground. I suddenly thought that there could be a sniper on the waterfront shooting at me, and they had knocked the bark off the tree limb at that point. I told an undercover Greenwich Police office in the southwest parking area who was chatting with four teenage boys. As I departed the park, I told Reilly the gate attendant. I then stopped by the Riverside Post Office, and I told the postal clerk. I then drove back towards town, and when I was crossing the Indian Field Road Bridge going south bound over the turnpike, a man in a 1954 turquoise blue and dark blue Ford Station wagon with a surf board on the roof and South Carolina license plates waved at me. I had seen the car the previous summer around Greenwich. I told the police baseball team at Bruce Park including the largest police officer. I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I told the desk at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I escorted one of their staff to their car at the bottom of Steamboat Road. I noticed a young blond teenage boy getting off the Indian Harbor Yacht Club launch with a set of golf clubs, which seemed unusual. Technically they could have contained a weapon. I then drove over to Grass Island, and I told several local fishermen at Grass Island. I was told later by one of the veterans with the new laser scopes, "There is No Such Thing as Kentucky Wind Anymore." Which I guess means the new equipment does not miss. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I told the reference librarian. I noticed when driving back home to Byram on West Putnam Avenue that somebody that I know locally whom is suppose to be near blind was walking fast out of the Belle Haven area carrying two large duffle bags in front of the Pray Volkswagen dealership. I know the person is not as blind as he pretends, since I have seen him casually reading his watch dial many times, when people are not watching. I then returned home, and I called the Greenwich Police a few times to report facts as I could remember. At the time there were several rifle shot holes in the No Clamming signs at the southwest picnic area at Todd's Point, which is ample evidence that somebody or sniper was shooting at targets there. Later on that month, the signs were replaced with new signs. During that period John F. Kennedy junior was a frequent jogger at Todd's Point. Nobody ever interviewed me, or paid any attention to my reports. At the time Donald Trump www.trump.com had a house on the Waterfront in Indian Harbor, and I called him up at his office, and I told him what happened. That day was cooler, so as I recall, I was also thinner at about 175 pounds. I recalling wearing my New Zealand Brook Brothers brown leather bomber jacket with my olive green Australian canvas bush hat. I do not recall whether I was wearing blue jeans or not, but I usually dress up for my medical appointment. One local waterfront resident from South Africa told me that the local lobstermen shoot at each other all of the time trying to protect their lobster traps from poaching. Before my medical appointment that day, I had been down on the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I had chatted with a new Greenwich resident from India named Dr. Palai? and he was wearing a black turban, and he was with a younger woman. I only saw him once more after that, and that was at the Japanese restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, when I passed by. Possibly the sniper attempt had something to do with Bhopal disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , since Warren Anderson the president of Union Carbide lived in Greenwich at the time. However, there are a lot of shady Mafiosi characters around the waterfront in Greenwich, Connecticut; so it could have been any of a number of other individuals. There was also a Ku Klux Klan rally in Hartford, Connecticut that weekend. That also would have been around the time there was graduation at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Around that period, there was also an expert big game hunter around the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and as I recall he said he was from Harrison, New York.

After I left CVS, I noticed there is new woman's store across the street called "Everything But Water". I then drove through the center of town, and most of all the parking places were full, but there were only a few people walking around on a rainy night. I then returned home, and I picked up the mail. I got my rent statement from the Greenwich Housing Authority, and my rent has not gone up yet. I put away my purchases. CIO

I also used eight Kosher dill spears that I cubed. I also used a 6 ounce can of Lindsay extra large black pitted olives that I cut in half. I also put in two tablespoons of Dijon mustard and eight dashes of Frank's hot sauce, and a couple of tablespoons of horseradish sauce. Since it has more potatoes, I used more seasoning and other additives in the recipe. I also used an extra large Bermuda red onion instead of a regular onion. I also used 1.5 ounces of Hormel bacon bits. I also used a half cup of Hellmann's extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise instead of Lite mayo. I put the mixture in two large Rubbermaid containers with covers in the refrigerator to chill. I will call it Cajun potato salad. CIO
