In the grocery stores in Maine, the potatoes are half the size of a football.? Thus the smaller office types like myself whom work with keyboards and computers, tend to only network with people our size or slightly smaller, since the people can get much larger and intimidating in this area for better or worse.?

One of the first things I noticed, when my family first moved to this area in June of 1962 was that I frequently used to see a British Army Colonel walking around mid Lake Avenue coming and going from the Mark Twain showboat type of house.? Thus I figured the British walk a lot and there were probably other British people in the area.? The more affluent younger people had small British sports cars such as MGs, Triumphs, Mini Coopers, Autin Healys and Morgans which supposedly never started because they had twin Solex carburetors.?

I did not have a replacement for it, and it would be difficult to remove, since certain items have been placed on it along its path.? So I coiled it up a short length, and I put it by the floor of the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance.? I then got a spare 25 foot coaxial cable, and I disconnected the FIC server TV card cable from the splitter to the right of the primary computer keyboard, and I ran the 25 foot coaxial cable from there into the kitchen, and I left the 23 inch Sceptre LED television in the kitchen.? It has three HDMI port, so I did not need to use the HDMI switch to connect the Roku wireless player and the Sony Player.? It all works just fine, and the kitchen TV is now clear as a bell.? Of course, it only plays what is playing on the living room cable box.? I moved the 20 inch Seiki LED TV to where the Sceptre TV had been in the living room in front of the stereo system connected to the coaxial cable TV box.? It also is connected to the bedroom Cable Box via HDMI cable, but for that to work, the power control center in the bedroom has to be turned along with the HDMI switch box, so technically from the living room Ethan Allen recliner location, one can watch two different television channels off the two different televisions.?

All day today, a landscaper has been working on putting a new medium size bush and top soil on the lawn on the house in front of my relatives’ house. The landscaper is using a medium size back hoe that he brought in on a trailer to do most of the work. A supersonic jet with four engines flew by heading east to west in the southern sky at a very high altitude about a half hour ago. I am not sure what type of military jet still has four jet engines, but it was a very large aircraft.

I then tried the same thing with the Rosewell USB SATA Drive holder, and it was not recognized.? I then opened up the FIC server, and I took out the Seagate 320 GB SATA drive, and I put it in the new Orico USB SATA drive holder, and I put my new identical Seagate 320 GB SATA drive in the Rosewell USB SATA drive holder, and I connected them both to the primary work computer.? Over the next eight hours, I copied all of the files from the old Seagate drive to the new Seagate Drive.? While doing that I took out the four old Antec LED case fans from the FIC server which were quite dirty and I threw them away.? I cleaned the case fan enclosures and the space between the front of the metal case and its front plastic cover.? There was quite a lot of dark crud build up.? In fact the front fan case openings were completely blocked.? I also cleaned the CPU cooler cooper vents.? It has a fairly new CPU cooler fan.? I used compressed air to clean out the lose crud from inside the FIC CPU case, and I even turned it upside down and shook it to remove any additional debris.? I installed four generic blue LED 80 MM case fans.? I also replaced the 2032 CMOS battery with a new one.? I tested the setup, but on restoring the bios defaults and testing them, it took me about three hours to remember I have to set the memory to 133 MHz instead of the default 166 Mhz.?

I then noticed on the old identical Seagate hard drive, there was a 1/8th inch square twin pin dip pin that I took off the old drive, and I put on the new drive on the right two pins.? Then the new Seagate 320 GB SATA drive was recognized, and the FIC system works just fine as before.? I closed up the case, and I used my Black and Decker dust buster to clean up the lose crud that I generated in my work.? I had to solder one of the small wires on the small red LED light switch that I accidentally broke off while working on the system.? Still the FIC Server is up and running just fine.? The old Seagate drive that I took out had been installed and running continuously for eight years, so I would say it is pretty good hard drive to replace it with the same new one.? The case fans were about six years old.? Since I have new case fans in the FIC server, and since it also was cleaned of the crud, it should run cooler, and also it no longer makes any noise.?

It so happens that my Scott relative also arrived from Scotland at the same time, and unlike Winfield Scott's father whom married into the wealthy Winfield family of Virginia, my relative first settled in Western Pennsylvania, with a son who fought in the American Revolution and got 200 acres for it in North Carolina, and his descendants became the wealthy William Scott family of Kentucky that my relatives in central Illinois are descended from.? Thus over time in America like elsewhere, people and families move around.?

I have a new Black and Decker drill and a set of new Bosch drill bits and extension cord.? Hopefully it will all work.? I already have the other four 45 degree angle supports installed.? With my setup having the shelf on top of the heavy wood speakers, all of the weight is on the floor and not on the sheet rock.? CIO<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 5:40 A.M.? I think I could probably fix the center front 45 degree angle support attachment with a 1.5 inch to 2 inch hose clamp, which I don't have.? CIO<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 4:30 A.M.? A simple cheap way to do it, might be to buy two, fours pack of 4 inch Stanley flat bars at the Greenwich Hardware store if they have them, and use two on the back side of either speaker to secure the shelf to heavy wood speakers, so it does not flip.? However, the center 45 degree angle support has broken at its plastic mounting on the center front of the shelf, but one might repair that with a double layer of Behr paint sticks.?

After the last note, I took down all of the flags in front of the hallway bookcases, and I put them in the Rubbermaid laundry hamper underneath the Sony Television in the bedroom.? I then took down the two large wooden Technicsl speaker from on top of the hallway bookcases, and I put one each on either side of the floor in the bedroom closet.? I then took two other large heavy wooden speakers from on top of the file cabinet in the bedroom and the right side of the bed, and I put them on top of the other two speakers creating about 12 inch by 11 inch by 55 inch high platform on either end of the inside of the bedroom closet.? I then put the 7 foot long wire shelf with clothes hanging rack on top of the speakers.? I used five 45 degree support bars between the lower back closet wall and the underneath of the shelf, with the closet wall ends held in place by Behr paint sticks to prevent push threw the sheet rock.? It seemed like a secure setup, but just as I was finishing putting in all the clothes back inthe closet, the back of the shelf flipped up and slid off the speakers dropping the clothes to the floor.? The center 45 degree support rod had its white plastic mount to the shelf break causing the shelf system to become unstable.? I think the setup might work if I put a double thick layer of 2" X 4" underneath and along the top of the back of the shelf and below if in back, and smaller double layers of 2" X 4" pieces in front of the sides of the shelf to keep it from shifting forward, and possibly using some sort of fastener to secure the shelf to the rear 2" X 4" setup, so it would not shift.? Also possibly putting a vertical 2" X 4" stud in the center front of the shelf with smaller "T" 2" X 4" inch pieces screwed into to either end of the center front of the stud, and securing it to the shelf and the floor with some sort of fastener strip and screws.? I will have to think about it.? In the process of putting the clothes on the shelf, I sorted out about a third of the clothes that are too small for me.? I moved the good clothes back to the Ethan Allen recliner in the living room an on the floor in front of it.? I took the plastic hangers off the clothes that are too small for me, and I saved them on the closet shelf to use later.? I sorted those clean clothes into two plastic bags and two large piles, and I used my little folding cart to wheel them out to the Volvo station wagon in three trips.? I will take them over to a little before 8:30 A.M. this morning, when they open.? The only problem with the shelf setup as I have described, if it works, one loses about two feet of the seven feet of hanging space, but one would not probably want to put any more weight on the setup any way.? The shelf before it collapsed was sagging about 3/4th of an inch in the middle.? I will have to think about is some more.?

When I was taking down the right bedroom closet door to clear out the closet last Friday, when the shelf broke, I also broke the string on the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France that is part of a set of two with a water color of the City Hall in Paris.? I remembered I thought that I had bought a spool of string some time ago at CVS, but I could not find it after looking everywhere for about an hour.? I finally was about to look in my little plastic yellow tool box in the hallway closet, and I noticed a long piece of old telephone wire.? I used part of that to rehang the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame.? On my last trip to Paris, France during the Albertville, France Winter Olympics, I noticed the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and although I am not Roman Catholic, I went inside and said a prayer for Paris, since they seemed to be overwhelmed with security forces for the Winter Olympics.? Since the French could not afford to have electricity in the place, it was sort of hard to see what it looked like inside, but it is quite a large place near the Louvre on the Seine River, possibly on the Isle de Paris in the middle of the Seine.? I can not remember.? Thus I have been inside that church too.? In fact it was the last church I have been inside in the Eastern Hemisphere after all of the religious places I toured on an earlier trip the winter and spring of 1972 to Southern Europe.? I do recall on the winter of 1983 trip to Oslo, Norway having visited the two main churches in Oslo, Norway.? Since I have never been in the United Kingdom, I probably have not visited any of their old churches, but I have seen a few United Kingdom residents in my days.? When I use to drink alcohol up until about 24 years ago, and I might have one beer on a Saturday night, I would frequently run into people from the United Kingdom in some of our local and Manhattan pubs, so I guess they enjoy having a pint or two and can afford it.?

I moved the CVS laptop table to the left rear of the bed in the bedroom with the various odd paper work on top of it.? To do that I had to temporary move on to the bed the various spare coffee machines and other kitchen items I had taken out of the bedroom closet, and they are now on the left side of the bed on the floor again.?

CIO<888> 11/13/14 Thursday 3:25 A.M.??? Thus one would need to repair the bedroom closet shelf hanging clothes shelf:15, at $1.67 each for $25.055, at $3.90 each package for $19.50.? I already have a pair of this I already have five of these ? that I could reattach the same way as before with the Behr paint sticks as support against the sheet rock rear wall like I did before.? I have removed them, but I could probably figure out how to reattached them again, since they have their sheet rock anchors already installed.? Of I could install them with mollies which the same toggle bolts which would be another $3.90.? However, the weight of the shelf on the sheet rock in the past has pushed the support brackets through the sheet rock, which is why I used the paint sticks to support them.? It would be better to attach a 1 X 6 inch piece of wood along the back wall with mollies to support the support brackets.That would be $3.90 for the toggle bolts to support the piece of wood.1, 8 foot X 1 inch X 6 inch piece of wood for $8.75 and a cheap saw to cut it for $12.97, but I have a Black and Decker Drill and Drill Bits that I could drill a number of holes with an break the piece to about seven foot length.? Thus attaching the strip of wood to support the shelf bracket would be $12.65 to $25.62.1, to drill the dry wall toggle bolt holes for $10.97Two of these for the back shelf wall for $2.48 each for $5.96 total.? 1, ? for $5.97The 7 foot Closet Maid shelf that I have was cut from a larger piece, so there are about five inch long double struts that stick out from either end? that use to have plastic support pieces in between each strut that broke.? The plastic support pieces are not available, but one could stick in? three inch by 1.5 inch pieces of wood held by two hose clamps on either end.? The piece of 1 X 6 would actually be about 3/4th of an inch thick, so one could cut two three inch by 3/4th inch pieces about two inches wide with the hand saw which might be tricky and support them in the strut ends with four for $1.45 each $5.80 total.? Thus the closet repair items would be: $85.90 or with the hand saw $98.87 and 7.5% tax of $6.45 or $7.41 for $92.75 without the hand saw and $106.55 with the hand saw that one probably would need to cut the small wooden end strut pieces and shelf support strip.? I really do not have the funds at the minute for that expense anyway, so I will continue to wait for the building custodian to make the repairs his own expert way.? CIO<888> 11/13/14 Thursday 1:40 A.M.? I put away the clean laundry.One of the cheaper ways to repair the bedroom closet shelf hanging clothes assembly might be to reinstall it with the plastic supports at the rear and plastic end supports that it was installed with before using mollies and a metal washer to hold the end supports into the sheet rock and reattaching the five angle shelf supports underneath that I had installed before.? Then at the points behind the shelf assembly where there are aluminum two by four studs, one could drill holes into the aluminum studs and add ? underneath the shelf for more support attached to the aluminum studs with sheet metal screws.? If one did not have the capability of drilling into aluminum studs, one could put three of the shelf supports on either end and nine along the back and install each shelf support with three toggle bolts into the sheet rock.? Thus besides the plastic supports, one would need 15 shelf supports and 45 toggle bolts.? However, the back of the bedroom closet is also near the hot water tank in the ceiling of the bathroom.? If that hot water tank ever leaked which it did 18 years ago, it might get the sheet rock wet.? It sheet rock gets wet, it becomes like mush and loses all of its support capabilities.? It might hold the additional weight that I seem to have accumulated over 26 years at Chateau de Vinci.? I assume the Greenwich Housing Authority custodian with the other closet assemblies that have collapses in this building over the years knows how to do a proper repair that will last indefinitely.?

CIO? <888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:50 A.M.? Since it might be a while before the building custodian repairs the bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly, I made the apartment more livable.? I put the hanging clothes from the bedroom closet on top of the Ethan Allen recliner and in front of it, so the area between the oak dining table the mahogany bureau is opened up freeing up the computers to be used at those locations.? I also took the items off the bed in the bedroom, and I stacked them up on the floor of the closet, so the bed? with access on the right side is now available for use.?

CIO<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M.Basically my plan for the closet shelf repair is this. Install 2 X4 along the back wall with 8 four inch mollies with washers at their heads. One secured to the wall screw in another 2 X4 into with with three inch wood screws.Do the same thing on both sides.To fit the shelf, one has to cut the lower support iron on either end off a few inches.Install 1 X 6 with 8 mollies across the back wall about two feet beneath the shelf to support the five older lateral support brackets.Cut eight 2 X 4s to floor to bottom of shelf heigth less about 1.5 inches the width of two 1 X 6 boards used for supportCut 16, 1 X 6 X 12 and screw them centered into either end of the eight two by fours.Place support two by fours at the four corner of the shelf, and one front and rear a third of the distance from the side wall.Secure shelf to back wall and side wall two by fours with 3 inch steel bars held in with one inch screwsSecure eight two by four studs with 3 inch bars at the top and and screws into the floor.That should be enough support for all of the extra heavy weight on the shelf clothes hanger.I updated the list of the items that I would need to repair my bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly.The list of items that I was going to get at Home Depot, if I repaired the closet shelf with hanging slats for my clothes is:Sabre Saw? $33, may not be at store, Black and Decker Jig Saw $302 Phillips drill screw bits?

The downtown area of Oslo is enjoyable to stroll in, but like all European Cities and villages that I have visited, one is left wandering around without much purpose, until one returns home.?

I guess the Norwegians did not realize that I was trying to find a peaceful remote area of the world to live in away from the turmoil of the Western Hemisphere.? However, I was not attuned to their viewpoint of us, so if I chatted with anyone important or expressed any viewpoint, it was one of a tired traveler.?

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 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. End of Note:?

I ate 11 triscuit reduced fat crackers with .5 inch by 3/16th inch by 1.5 inch pieces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese on them.? I guess since I am 1/4th Scottish American and 1/4th British American, there is no rush to ever see me in the United Kingdom, since they have plenty of people over there like me to entertain the 18 million tourists a year that London gets.? They probably don't like cigarette smokers over there anyway.? A few times, when I got bored while living in Manhattan, I would take the train to the plane and walk around the British Airways terminal at night at J.F.K. airport to see if any British people noticed me in the Big City, but once I got back into the Big City, it was pretty much the same routine walking around endlessly in circles in various street patterns that I had learned from experience.? I used to spend quite a bit of time walking around Third Avenue where the British Consulate offices are, and we used to call it "Queen's Boulevard".? Alas the glamorous Fifth Avenue crowd never took much notice of myself or any of our friends whom would come and go.? I was told that first generation British immigrants in this country frequently have financial problems, since they are not entitled to our benefits, so the wife of the British consulate in Manhattan volunteers in a soup kitchen that helps them out.? I know Winston Churchill's granddaughter Sarah Churchill used to volunteer in a soup kitchen in Manhattan back in the early 1970s.? I guess they used to think I was rich, because I lived in Greenwich, Connecticut and drove my mother's new Chevrolet Monte Carlo into Manhattan.? However, back in the early 1973, when I lost my job at Boodles in Greenwich as a waiter, I was only making $50 to $100 a night on a good night.? However, my Greenwich friends did not like my Manhattan friends from Long Island whom were more affluent, so they were frequently at conflict with each other.? In fact I never mentioned any of my Greenwich friends names in Manhattan, just the names of a few people I knew around Lake Forest, Illinois, when I went to college there.? I guess when started setting up shop in Manhattan, they were somewhat less than impressed, since the people in Manhattan back then liked eating Water Kress salads with Dijon vinaigrette dressing and a slice of French bread with a glass of white wine versus a 15 cent hamburger.? One friend whom lived on Minetta Lane in Manhattan was upset, when they built a new McDonalds on West Fourth Street behind his carriage house, and all he could smell was hamburgers and French Fries.? He worked at the Spring Street restaurant which featured crab stuffed Dover Sole for about $7.95.? Of course just north of the Sign of the Dove restaurant at around 65th Street and Third Avenue, they used to have an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips, but it never expanded too far in America from what I can tell.? There used to be another one, where Wendy's is in Greenwich.? The second Avenue deli at around 50th street just south of the A&P used to sell a liverwurst sandwich for about $2.? The Greek Restaurant at 50th street and First Avenue used to serve two fried eggs with three strips of bacon and toasted English muffin with coffee and milk and sugar for about $3.? I think orange juice was extra.? Alas for the rich people the Mayfair Restaurant is not longer there at 54th Street and First Avenue.? They used to serve two broiled one inch thick pork chops with candied apple slice and broccoli and yello rice for $7.95.? Back in my day in Manhattan, most restaurants served a bacon blue cheese burger with home fries and kosher dill pickle slice with a slice of tomato and a leaf of lettuce for $2.95.? Also a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll with mayonnaise was $2.95 at most delis.? Cigarettes skyrocketed in price while I was in Manhattan from 50 cents a package to $1.29 a package, and lots of people from India were selling them from tobacco booths. FVM like eating fettuccini alfredo at the Isle of Capri at Third Avenue and 59th street for about $7.? Of course there was an automat at 42nd street and second avenue opened 24 hours a day just north of the Daily News building.? I never went to the Times Square area, because there were too many hucksters in that neighborhood.? There was another $3 breakfast place at Madison Avenue and about 66th Street.? Alas I have not lived in Manhattan, since February 1982; so it probably has changed a bit.? I quit driving into Manhattan at night about July 1993, when I was mugged with a friend, when we tried to help out someone whom turned out to be a mugger.? I figured I was getting old and slow, so I quit going there, except for two February visits after 911? one during the G8 conference and another on a minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit night, and I think the only other time was the February Microsoft conference about seven years ago.?

CIO<888> 12/04/14 Thursday 2:50 A.M.? I ate four ounces of Blue Diamond wabasi and soy almonds. I was just thinking about how modern the Royal British Navy has become ? .? The last time I was in Virginia Beach, Virginia was when I took a private charter flight up from Cayo Hueso, and we puddle jumped from Cayo Hueso to Cape Canaveral to Virginia Beach and possibly with a stop somewhere in New Jersey and then to Stratford airport, where there was about six inches snow on the ground in April 1982.? I then went to work building a garage apartment out in Plandome Manor, Long Island for someone who had a Florida house there with terricota tiles who used to tell me they like going to Tobago.? Knowing how cold it can get up north, I put 12 inches of pink Owens Corning fiberglass in the attic, 12 inches of pink Owens corning fiberglass on the north wall that I built out and two inches styrofoam underneath the floor against the cement.? By the time I left the completed project in February 1983, I had put in over 6500 or more hours into the project for which I was paid about $8,500 and no social security which works out to about $1.31or less an hour for construction work.? The individuals were friends who claimed to have major political connections, but they were in the democratic party, and since I was a republican in Mr. Grumman's neighborhood, it never lead to anything but back to dishwashing in Nantucket around more liberal democrats.? I do much better around the Republicans working on computers which I have done for about 25 years of my recent life.? After the garage apartment was finished, I moved the widow's daughter into the apartment, and bought her about a $100 of house warming gifts.? I then spent a week in New Haven, Connecticut at the Colony Hotel, and then I spent a week in Georgetown, where I met Dr. Gillespie, Lyndon Johnson's heart surgeon.? I then visited a relative in Bayonet Point, Florida for about two weeks.? I then spent a week with a relative Norwalk, Connecticut.? I then bought a $799 round trip package on Scandanavian Airlines at Kennedy airport for a week's stay in Stockholm, Sweden at the S.A.S. hotel with round trip included.? However, the S.A.S. flight landed at a military airport in Oslo, Norway, where a bus took us to the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo next to the Palace.? The person at the S.A.S. Hotel in Oslo told me my ticket was only good for a one way ticket to Stockholm with no hotel fare.? I spent two nights at the Y.M.C.A. across the street before they threw me out for not paying my bill, since I was low on money.? I walked around all night, and in the early morning hours, I walked into the West Hotel behind the palace, and I gave them my passport, and they gave me a room.? I stayed there for about a week.? I did not eat any food except Swedish Wasa Crisps that I bought a local deli.? The United State Embassy contacted my father, and he paid my room fares and my return flight.? They gave me a $100 traveling money.? On the flight back, we changed planes in Copenhagen for a big new Boeing 747 S.A.S. jet, and while in Copenhagen, I bought two cartons of Prince Cigarettes for $20 each duty free.? When we got back to J.F.K. airport in New York, I spent about two weeks living in the airport around the S.A.S. terminal part of which time was during the Easter Holiday period, when I saw a lot of traveling religious people.? Finally I called my friend in Long Island, and I took the Long Island Railroad to his grandmother's house, and he gave me a $100 bill that I used to buy a ticket from J.F.K. to Nantucket where I spent the season working at Le Languedoc restaurant as the head dishwasher for $8.75 an hour.? A little bit before Halloween, I flew to Boston and met a relative, and I spent some time in Kennebunkport before driving down with the relative to Vero Beach.? I then got a rental car during a tropical storm and went to Fort Lauderdale, where there were about five thousand very tall white people in the beach area, I guess on vacation.? After a week, I drove to Bayonet Point again to visit my father. I then drove back to Vero Beach, where I got some needed medical care.? I then flew back to Nantucket, where I worked until the end of November, and on the anniversary of J.F.K.'s death, I had taken the ferry from Nantucket to Hyannis and sat up all night in the airport, and I saw Ted Kennedy in the airport at 6 A.M., and Jackie Onassis was on my flight to LeGuardia.? I then caught a train from Grand Central Station to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.? I stayed about two weeks on a couch at the Anglican Seminary walking around Toronto.? I then took the Amtrak back to Manhattan.? I spent about a week walking around Manhattan napping in the early morning hours at the East Side Airline terminal.? I finally came out to Greenwich, where I was hospitalized for a few days for swollen ankles.? I then ended up going back to Manhattan walking around the same way for another week staying up all night in the East Side Airline terminal.? I finally took a bus to J.F.K, airport, and from there a bus to Greenwich, and this time when I checked into the Greenwich Hospital with swollen ankles, they gave me a $7,500 complete physical for a week, and the result of which was that they said I was disabled.? My social worker found me a $250 a month apartment on Milbank Avenue, and I got $200 a month Welfare money.? Thus I have been back in this area since the first week of December 1983 or 31 years as the crow flies.? CIO <888> 12/04/14 Thursday 12:50 A.M.? I put a 3M hook on the right side of the AOC monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table.?

I put two new Air Wick 6 ounce Island Paradise scent refills in the two Glade automatic scent machines in the living room and the bathroom.? CIO <888> 12/03/14 Wednesday 11:50 P.M.? ? Manhattan is not my turf anymore, but I see a few individuals out here that seem to find their way from Manhattan.? I saw at the Carlyle in 1975, and only about 200 people were observing.? I have had drinks there a few times, but one does not see many young people in that neighborhood, so I use to explore other youth areas in Manhattan.? I think Gloria Vanderbilt is the best known celebrity at the Carlyle, but she has other family members that live in the same neighborhood whom are more private.? I once found a friend an apartment on East 70th Street just east of Madison Avenue for $350 a month back in 1974, but I think the rents might have gone up a bit in that neighborhood.? As I recall, the apartment was two doors west of the Explorer's Club with the Duke of Windsor's favorite restaurant in between.? It was on the original front half story up level.? CIO<888> 12/03/14 Wednesday 10:55 P.M.?? The new bank on the West Side of the Greenwich Library where the old gasoline station used to be is scheduled to open Monday December 8, 2014.? Since it is hard to make a left turn at that location coming from the west on West Putnam Avenue, when during the few times I have to go to the bank, I will drive up Valley Road to Glenville Road to the Lake Avenue Circle and come south on Deerfield Drive and turn right on West Putnam Avenue and turn right into the new Chase Bank parking area.? I really only go to the bank about once a month to take out my rent money to take over to the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place to pay my rent.? It is about the only time I carry large amounts of cash, so I guess it is safe to travel that far with cash which is about three quarters of a mile.? The Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place is next to the Greenwich Police Station, so it is a relatively safe location from my viewpoint.Cunard?Tracking is on the order for for $14.99 with the link on the right hand side of the page with free shipping. .
