The stainless steel EveryReady flashlight bulb burned out, so I put in bulb from the Roy-O-Vac flashlight that does not work for some reason, so the EverReady flashlight with three D batteries on the white bookshelf at the kitchen entrance now works. The Ray-O-Vac flashlight has Lou Scott written on it in green paint, and for some reason even with a new bulb, it does not work. It is a very simple mechanism with a sliding copper connector, but I can not figure out why it does not work. I saw a car from Naples, Florida downtown tonight, so I guess we have visitors from Florida. Jim Eldert use to have relatives in Naples, Florida, and the first time I started washing dishes for a living was at the Howard Johnson's in Naples, Florida back in the winter of 1977, when Jim and I hitchhiked out of Key West to Naples across Alligator Alley only to find out his relatives were not there, so I worked a day at the Howard Johnson's there to get some money for food, and we then returned back to Key West.

They way I figure it, the people whom rent in Greenwich, Connecticut in July will be leaving today, and the super rich people whom rent in August will be arriving tomorrow, so we have to have the town in tip top formation for those renters. I hear tell some people pay a lot of money to rent houses in Greenwich, Connecticut in August, be we probably have to respect their privacy whomever they might be.
