Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 8:05 P.M. I listened to a Christopher Shays — Christopher Shays for US Senate telephone call in. The Connecticut republican primary is August 14, 2012. CIO Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 7:05 P.M. I took a Di Giorno self rising deluxe supreme 32.7 ounce frozen pizza, and I put it on a round pizza pan, and I seasoned it with garlic powder, celery salt, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. I am baking it on the raised stand in the middle of the Sharp convection oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. I will eat half and I refrigerate the other half in a large flat Rubbermaid container. I have a pizza cutter to cut it into quarter slices. I will eat it with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com . CIO Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 6:40 P.M. Also late this spring, I was dive bombed by a vicious Hawk that also attacked a local youth in the neighborhood. One does not see many squirrels around here if any, and I think most of them stay downtown around police station where it is safer. CIO Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 6:25 P.M. Since about a month ago, the Greenwich Housing Authority or the Town of Greenwich Highway Department posted a sign at the entrance of Vinci Drive that "No Animals are Allowed" technically since people are Animals, people are not allowed on this property either. I was told that the local tenants did not like people walking their dogs, since they did not clean up after their dogs. Technically, the sign probably should say "No Dog Walkers Allowed". However, I regarded the dog walkers from the neighborhood as a good Neighborhood Watch, and they used to have a sign that said "Neighborhood Watch" which I don't see anymore. Also since I have lived here for 22 years and spend a great deal of time outside observing particularly at night, when I am coming and going from downtown Greenwich Avenue, I have seen a number of wild animals on the property. The wild animals I have seen are skunks as big as raccoons, great horn owls that eat skunks, red tail fox, deer and fawns, raccoons, bunny rabbits, and the most memorable animal was a Carolina or Texas Red Wolf that sort of looks like an all tan German Shepard. They are extremely dangerous, and they can even take down cattle, so humans are no match for them. We also had a young two year old black bear in the neighborhood about two months ago. Since we live in a building over a hundred years old, there could also be any number of types of spiders in the building. I have seen some pretty nasty looking spiders around the building, but I don't know much about spiders. Also last summer at this time, we had a young baby black panther or puma walk along side the building that I saw. Of course with the woodland area on the property, Connecticut woods do have rattlesnakes and copperheads. CIO Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 5:50 P.M. Of course in my apartment on the second floor with the Western Exposure facing the afternoon sun over a hot flat black roof in the summer with four 8 foot by 4 foot windows, I figure each of the two air conditioners is costing me at least $50 a month each for electricity in the summer. CIO Note: <888> 08/08/12 Wednesday 5:30 P.M. This air conditioning unit Newegg.com - Haier ESA408K 8,000 Cooling Capacity (BTU) Window Air Conditioner for $180.99 with free shipping looks like it would fit into the 12.5 inch by 18.5 inch window openings on the windows at 71 Vinci Drive, where I live. However this it the unit that I bought in May 2010 for $250 with a $50 mail in rebate for $200 Frigidaire Window-Mounted Mini Compact Room Air Conditioner at www.pcrichard.com in Norwalk, Connecticut, and I have not had any problems with it.

Souther, Jennifer Warnes, Jackson Browne, T-Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, Roy Orbison, Steven Soles, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits: Movies & TV DVD audio disk will not play on my Sony CD player, and it will not play on my Philips DVD player, but the DVD Video does play on the Philips DVD player when the Technics amplifier is set to VCR 1. Obviously I have not been able to afford to buy many MP3 music files off the internet, so I do not have a way to play them directly off my stereo system, but the FIC server audio is connected to my Technics amplifier on Phono, so I can play anything on it or off the internet on my stereo system. I have a good wireless headset, but I prefer listening to music without a headset. Since I lived in Decatur, Alabama from 1956 to 1962, when we moved up north to Connecticut; obviously I was familiar with music out of Memphis, Tennessee which was only 50 miles northwest of Decatur, Alabama.

Instead of watching television while I woke up today, I am listening to music off the Sony CD player which is more mellow than listening to the nut cases on television.

I ate a 11 ounce sautéed London Broil, a ear of sweet corn on the cob and steamed slices of baby carrots with broccoli crowns with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite. I washed the dinner dishes. The expected thunderstorm was in full force and at 8:45 P.M. the power went out. I used my emergency jump start light, and I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I chatted with a neighbor. I checked downstairs and the power was working in all the hallways and the community room powered by the generator. Some neighbors took refuge in the community room. I gave a neighbor two CVS D alkaline batteries. I rested for a while keeping low light in the bedroom with LED lantern. I chatted with a relative. I tried the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop, but there was no wireless available. The primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop would not start up, because its battery was worn out, I think. I will have to look into it. I put the good battery from the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop in the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop. The neighbor's flashlight still did not work with the D batteries. I got a orange flashlight out of the Audi that I put the two D batteries in, so the neighbor finally had a flashlight.

I used to have the Epox computer online with it to the Samsung color laser printer. However, it is not there anymore, so I must have stored it away. I went through most of my spare computer parts, and I can not find it anywhere. I took all of the lose computer parts behind the Harvard Chair on the shelf in the stereo entertainment center, and I put them in a plastic garbage bag that I store underneath the adjacent mahogany telephone table. The only other place I can think it might be is somewhere unknown in the bedroom. I don't really need it, since the TrendNet router had a USB print server for all of the computers on the network except the primary work computer and the FIC server. The flashlight bulb in the stainless steel flashlight burned out, so I put a spare bulb in it. CIO Note: <888> 08/05/12 Sunday 4:20 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I threw out the garbage.
