“Since the grey seal is perched on the Power Tower Gowlery, it seems to assoc. one with the other[ is logical], or bring them in line with each other. But the song “Grey Seal” of John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road comes after the title song, with only a shorter song called “This Song Has No Title” between them. And *that’s* the origin of the name No Title Spring that runs alongside Grey Rock and its Seal Stone, down to Whitehead Brook in rainier times. So is the creek that runs alongside most of VXW Town No Title Spring, or the virtual equivalent thereof? Could be Whitehead Brook instead? Could be Little Whitehead. Hucka?

Hucka D.:

You’ve answered your own question, like Ray’s “Dedicated Follower of Fashion.”

bb:

True, I suppose. But really I only posed 3 questions. Now I know you don’t like things that are bunched in 3’s.

Hucka D.:

Never said that. It’s all 3 after all.

bb:

Let’s take each one, because the positioning of the VXW Town creek seems so synchy and sygnificant.

Hucka D.:

If it’s No Title Spring, then like the real version it disappears into the ground before finding a true source. There’s that parallel.

bb:

And Whitehead Brook?

Hucka D.:

Grey seal looks down from Power Tower Gowlery to the brook, like Grey Rock and Seal Stone do with Whitehead Brook [although reversed in direction]. The flow of the virtual creek is more similar to Whitehead Brook in real life, which has more [volume] than Little Whitehead and especially No Title Spring.

bb:

Then what about Little Whitehead?

Hucka D.:

Hmmm… the length may be similar. 128 meters, eh?

bb:

Yeah, one-half of a sim basically exactly.

Hucka D.:

Rock’s Rocky Trail, also compared to this yellow brick road, runs through and past Grey Rock(Seal Stone), like the 2 golden sections of VWX Town’s yellow brick road both point to Power Tower Gowlery and its grey seal from different directions.

bb:

Then we have to deal with this post:

Silver/Rubie Map on Temple…

“The Yellow Brick Road of Whitehead Crossing is now in your VWX Town. Congratulations. You know that Elton John stepped back from this yellow brick road in his album — the cover — just like you can step back from virtual reality to come back into real reality. Back away from VWX Town.”

bb:

But I created the yellow brick road here to lead people more easily to the towering Power Tower Gallery… um, Gowlery. John’s “penthouse” of the lyrics, perhaps. To back away from this gowlery back down the yellow brick road backwards to exit VWX Town is like John returning to the plough of the farm he left, leaving the big city. This big city, then, is VWX Town itself, which at least gives the appearance of a big city because of its numerous skyscrapers, with the PTG being the highest.

Hucka D.:

This has to do with Shared Fantasia and your contribution, which on the audio side include the first 4 songs or tracks of John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, but ending with the 4th track, which is the title song we’ve been referring to.

bb:

Then there’s another yellow brick road on the other side of the Power Tower Gowlery, but in even more disrepair. They are probably part of the same road, these two golden sections.

Hucka D.:

The goldeny Trojan Warrior is another reference to the road. He disappears at 125 125 098 and reemerges at 128 128 098. He disappears inside the eucalyptus tree and reappears in the center of the sim as a whole.

bb:

If VWX Town — Virtual Whitehead X-ing Town that is — is the same or brought in line with the actual Whitehead Crossing, then the yellow brick road takes on new meaning. The grey seal of VWX Town is obviously the Grey Rock of real Whitehead X-ing, as combined with its topping Seal Stone.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Obviously. That’s a mnemonic. Well, not actually a mnemonic. What’s the word I’m looking for?…

bb:

Unsure, Hucka D. But I understand. The grey seal of VWX Town is the same as Grey Rock with its topping Seal Stone. Grey seal in toto.

Hucka D.:

Toto?
