Retooling…

Will probably stay in Sansara Snow Country till about the end of March and no more. That will give me about 2 solid months there. The Power Tower Gowlery is almost finished, and has become the new center of any community I have in My Second Lyfe. I have an option to rent in Jasper sim, which is attractive because the Art 10×10 has strong ties to Jasper County, Illinois. I don’t think New Pietmond will be rebuilt with galleries holding other people’s art, but could be wrong. Am happy with my 4096 parcel for now… probably won’t reduce down from that.

On weekend hiking: Was able to get out quite a bit and walked around Mytholopolis both days, for a change. It was my standard walk down the Green Worm River on the north side of town, a spot I found maybe 2 years ago now. Can even see an art happening taking place there at what I’ve renamed Sunfish Creek (name subject to change again). But since I didn’t take any pictures I think I’ll hold off on talking about the particular creek I see as a center for now. If I do anything there, it will in all likelihood be a November through March project (but that’s 5 months, or almost 1/2 a year). Can work on it sometimes when I’m down at mom’s house… there’s junk in the area to use (bottles, pots, lots of other stuff). I may even create a map of the location soon.

The other place I hiked (yesterday) was on Greene Knob in Frank Park. There was a delapidated cabin that eventually drew my attention while I was walking around — again I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t snap any pictures to put in the blog here. But as I’ll take pictures soon of, there were 4 symmetrically arranged cement lined “containers” near this cabin that I have no real explanation for right now. And the cabin is situated about halfway between Methril (home of The Diamond Rock as featured in the Lis collage series!) and the infamous Rust Spot, so maybe it has ties to the nearby Bill Mountain aliens as well. And it’s almost directly across the street from the newly found Epsi (which I *thought* contained a diamond but what turned out to be mere “ordinary glass”). Did an alien even *live* in this cabin at one time? Or did whoever lived in the cabin know the Bill Mtn. aliens at least? There’s another ruin in the area that I’ll also be examining soon. Photos should be forthcoming this weekend. Although this weekend is supposed to be “nice” (which means “normal” for mid-March, pheh), another shot of cold air comes during the work week before this, and then another one is due next week. Winter is turning out to be long and protracted this year. In contrast, last year I’d already been hiking heavily in the woods since mid-February. It was a uniquely warm winter last year. On the other hand, maybe since spring arrives late this year I can extend my hiking season on the other side, or into May. Also last year, the season ended in April because of the warmth, as poison ivy, bugs, etc. came out early. Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen this year.

Hucka D.:

Bert lived in the cabin, baker b. Bert Liar. If he were living [and still lying] he’d tell you all about the aliens and those 4 containers. They’re baths. (pause) Devices. They were left behind. Red, green, blue and yellow were the color of the liquids, but that was just dyed. The aliens died within them.

bb:

You mean the aliens were dyed within.

Hucka D.:

They were dyed the colors of Tyle. This is where Marbles come from. This very spot.

bb:

So marbles were made in those, er, vats.

Hucka D.:

No one really lived in the cabin. It was a workstation. To supervise the operation of the vats. The actual factory was in the meadow just above. You weren’t suppose to really think about it until now. We’ve been blocking it, or it’s been blocked. Strange, eh?

bb:

It is (!) Never trapsed down to that cabin although I’ve walked only several 10s of yards from it for many years now. Maybe I went down there once, but I didn’t see the vats at that time. But now I’m trying to poke into every nook and cranny of Frank and Herman Parks.

Hucka D.:

The Diamond is in contrast all colors. Bold that… or capitalize that. You will continue the Latona series interpretation today, maybe even finishing it. Then later in the week you will run through Lis and be done. Power Tower Gowlery should be finished, then. Are you virtually moving yet?

bb:

Not yet Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Of course keep thinking about Wiltshire even after this. You are building up.

bb:

Yes. We haven’t channeled any “spirits” on this blog in a while, Hucka. Should we try now?

Hucka D.:

Later.
