Sharieland Once More 03

(continued from Sharieland Once More 02)

Smaller tree twisting around larger tree off the Head Line or Head Path.

Another interesting tree off this same path.

Yet another, whose trunk grows around a rock. I didn’t take a detailed photo, though.

Interesting fall maple leaf, with rocks near the top of Negative 2 vale behind it, I believe. We’re still on Head Line for this picture.

Head Line’s central tree, once more. Must figure out what type it is.

A photo of a Boulder (town) ruin, shot while taking the long route back to my car this beautiful day.

Back on Head Line — this may have been the next day — we have the eastern edge of what I’m calling, for now, Original Bedrock (name subject to quick change). I see it as an ancient Sharie population place where they first carved a *true*, independent niche away from Herman Mansion and immediate environs. Herman Mansion, to us humans, would only be about a football field’s length away up the hill and to the right here.

The center of Original Bedrock, right on Head Line. Was this community called Trumann, after the famous *headline*, “Dewey Wins”?

Details of center.

Details. It could be that I set up a toy happening sometime in the future in an attempt to psychically trace out more of this “Trumann.” And actually this was the second or backup choice this fall for such an art event, eventually losing out to Philo at Heart Lake.

Rock situated on western edge of “Trumann.”

Probably from the same spot, looking back toward central “Trumann”.

That oh so central Head Line bush again of undetermined species.

Looking up the hill just beyond toward Herman’s Mansion, clearly in view in person but not showing up in the photo. I’ll have to try again later with a different camera setting.

Sharieland Once More 02

(continued from Sharieland Once More 01)

Rock crossing at the north end of Philo. It’s a good guess that this is human made, but I’m not sure the reason why except for fun and games — know all about those reasons, for certain!

Another cluster of rocks on Heart Stream (sole feeder stream of Heart Lake). Or is that Earth Stream? Anyhoot, this is at conjunction of two streams actually, Heart and its own main tributary running down the hill from the northwest. The below pictured rocky patch is not nearly as large and interesting as Philo, which lies about 30 yards downstream.

A delapidated Sharieland cow enclosure, no longer used.

There are all kinds of interesting looking rocks littering the fields and woods of Sharieland. I’ll have to make a detailed map soon.

This particular rock is found right on the Heart Line, and has been depicted in the F and H E! Blog several times previous to this. It seems to convey a message, perhaps as part of a map itself. It lies between +1 and +2 valleys on this line/path. More on -2, -1, Null, +1, +2, +3, +4 valleys running from Head Line down to Heart Line very soon.

The remainder of the pictures from this blog post come from Vale +2, and specifically an area I seem to want to call Sunklands or Sunk Lands, originally in these earlier posts on the subject here and here.

—-

Unnamed rock looking like a small grave marker.

Heart o’ Sunklands.

Unusual rock at this heart.

Briars weaving around the tree trunk seen 2 pictures above.

Poke Rock — notice the 2 “eyes” and the gaping mouth.

http://www.collativelearning.com/the%20shining%20-%20chap%2012.html

Not as gaping as the Danny’s mouth in the above still from The Shining movie, but I thought I would include since it seemed weird that the picture came up at the top of an image search for “gaping mouth” just accomplished. I’ve mentioned The Shining in several more recent blog posts, and actually gave a link for the home page for the article that photo is from here. I’ve also read all of these articles by Ager recently.

Sharieland Once More 01

With several days of clear weather ahead, I enter the meat of my Fall Hiking Season. I begin at Heart Lake… at the very start we have confusion, for there are actually *2* nearby but different pools of water named Heart in Sharieland. The below picture depicts the one nearest Head Lake, which is more the actual shape of a heart. I cannot give the full story of this pool for privacy reasons, but I wanted to include a picture of it in this blog anyway. The 2nd, larger and less heart-shaped Heart pool lies about 150 yards behind the tree with the red leaves in the center. That’s what I call Heart Lake; we’ll just call this Heart Pool to differentiate the two.

Sign next to Heart Pool warning about past pesticide use in Herman Park, specifically mentioning the poisons arsenic and lead.

This picture is of the sole feeder stream of Heart Lake, reached by walking through a cow pasture behind Head Lake and attached Heart Pool. The quite green stream is mere feet from emptying its waters into the still pool, situated just offshot to the right.

And then just upstream from the above location we find a very important place for Fall Hiking Season: what I originally called Myst or Mysten but have probably changed to Philo, partially in honor of my Second Life home sim of Philudoria. It’s a unique site on the as yet unnamed stream (I suppose I could call this Heart Stream?), being a larger, beachy spot dotted with small and large rocks in an otherwise marshier, non-beach and nony-rocky area. Distance from Heart Lake here: about 20 yards. We’ll return to this spot soon for some toy avatar adventures. Stay tuned!

Below we have a larger rock perched on the opposite end of the same marshy area above south of Heart Lake. We look directly toward Philo here, but cannot make out the beach because of the tallness of intervening plants.

This is the cow pasture separating Heart Pool/Head Lake and Heart Lake, taken from the earthen Heart Lake dam. Mist is beginning to roll in.

Shot from the same spot, looking the opposite direction across Heart Lake toward Philo.

Path beside Heart Lake eventually leading to the white “Jupiter” rock and accompanying pine branch discussed in this earlier Sharieland post.

A not-so-successfully hidden deer spotted on the way to the Jupiter area. He stands in the stream that enters “Heart Stream” between Heart Lake and Heart Pool, near where an interesting waterfall forms that I haven’t even taken pictures of yet for this blog. So many picture to take, so little relative time!

The Jupiter rock again, with the branch’s “4” still beside it.

Heart Lake as the mist comes even closer.

Interesting triangle of pine trees seen from Philo. Pyramid shaped, even.

Bigger rock pictured in several places above, looking across the marsh from Philo. Must get a name for it — Heart Rock seems too obvious and unimaginative. Maybe *Earth* Rock (Earth being an anagram of Heart). But, then, is Heart Lake itself actually Earth Lake? See here for a comparison of Heart Lake both with Earth and The Sun, but perhaps more the former now. Translation (if so): Earth = Heart. Earth and Heart are direct anagrams of each other, and the only other word that fits this category is “Hater”.

Misty Heart Lake.

Munster/Monster

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_group

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstrous_moonshine#Why_.22monstrous_moonshine.22.3F

The term “monstrous moonshine” was coined by Conway, who, when told by John McKay in the late 1970s that the coefficient of {q} (namely 196884) was precisely the dimension of the Griess algebra (and thus exactly one more than the degree of the smallest faithful complex representation of the Monster group), replied that this was “moonshine” (in the sense of being a crazy or foolish idea).[1] Thus, the term not only refers to the Monster group M; it also refers to the perceived craziness of the intricate relationship between M and the theory of modular functions.

However, “moonshine” is also a slang word for illegally distilled whiskey, and in fact the name may be explained in this light as well.[citation needed] The Monster group was investigated in the 1970s by mathematicians Jean-Pierre Serre, Andrew Ogg and John G. Thompson; they studied the quotient of the hyperbolic plane by subgroups of SL2(R), particularly, the normalizer Γ0(p)+ of Γ0(p) in SL(2,R). They found that the Riemann surface resulting from taking the quotient of the hyperbolic plane by Γ0(p)+ has genus zero if and only if p is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 41, 47, 59 or 71. When Ogg heard about the Monster group later on, and noticed that these were precisely the prime factors of the size of M, he published a paper offering a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey to anyone who could explain this fact.[2]

Updates…

Busy time of the year for me, relatively speaking. I’ve just completed not 1 but 2 of what I call carrcasses on this here blog, and have debuted both to tiny audiences in the last week. One more is on the way even, a smaller affair of about 1/2 an hour or so. Carrcasses are a very large subject in and of themselves, a lot of which I can’t speak about in this forum. But they’ve certainly kept me occupied since early September, along with fall hiking season and attached F&HE! blog post generation. I need to also edit photos tonight.

Carrcass energy hasn’t been at this level since 2007, I feel. Then along with all this I’ve kept my Second Life VWX Town around through October at least, and probably beyond now.

But the hiking part might slow down considerably, since I threw out my back a bit yesterday. I don’t think I can chance walking around my usual rougher terrain this weekend, despite it being *perfect* weather (darnit!). But I’m rolling with the punches, and still may set up a toy happening around what’s called Heart Lake in flatter territory. If so, the place I set up — on a small, rocky beachy area — seems to be named Myst or Mysten or Mystel, relatable to Secret Garden’s Mistlethwaite. I had Elton John’s “Blue Eyes” playing in my head while exploring Heart Lake day before yesterday, and when I re-stumbled upon this small beachy area (found a number of years ago but then not revisited until now).

What toys to take? I’m thinking small autos and trucks — just let the characters interact with the land. If it comes to be, this will be quite different from Billfork or Lion’s Roar or Falmouth, my most recent such happenings (although perhaps closest in spirit to the latter?). We better bring in Hucka D.

bb:

What is the name of the town on the beach, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Myst. Somtimes[ spelled]: Mist. (Hucka D. spells out both) Your GNIRPS should be back in action soon.

bb: (after checking)

But not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

Hucka D.:

Take all the toys you need. What do you think occurred there? Is this Sharieland Central?

bb:

It’s important. Heart Lake is important.

Hucka D.:

Sharies descended from Herman’s Mansion [in the Sky — to them] and found their way to Heart Lake and also Head Lake. Some stayed in [Bedrock] close to the mansion, on Head Line. They stayed at the top of *Negative One* Vale. The others moved to the top of *Null* Vale, which naturally acted as a siphon to lower elevations.

bb:

Hmm — meaning that they passed down the Null Vale toward Heart and Head Lakes.

Hucka D.:

Correct. Setting up settlements all along the way, but not as concentrated as [Bedrock].

bb:

Hucka D., we’ve already attached the name [Bedrock] to a Yellow Down location in Green Oz at Wealthy Mtn.

Hucka D.:

Related. But not as old. Head Line’s [Bedrock] is older. The Way came, and the old power gave way — *way* — to the new power. Lisa The Vegetarian took control from the owner still in Herman’s Mansion at the time. An agreement was forged. Handshakes… There was a meeting, several in fact. Herman’s wife Lilly knew of St. Lisa. Lilly…

bb:

Lilly was greatly disturbed by the coming of The Way, which effectively split Herman Park in two.

Hucka D.:

Herman Park was *made* at that point, per Lisa’s plan overseen by Marty.

bb:

And we’ve established that Marty is a variant of McCartney — Paul.

Hucka D.:

The same.

bb:

And their connection comes through a Simpsons episode.

Hucka D.:

Correct[ once more].

bb:

Go ahead…

Hucka D.:

You don’t not yet fully understand that these events actually happened and are as real as you and me talking *here*.

bb:

In Nowhereville (smiles).

—–

bb:

[The origin of] Frank Park is still a mystery to me, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Frank Park is more a mirror of Herman, as Frankenstein parodies Herman Munster.

bb:

I think that’s actually the opposite[ thing going on here].

Hucka D.:

No (pause).

bb:

What of Herman himself? He had passed away long before the coming of The Way.

Hucka D.:

Doesn’t [really] matter. He was in on the agreement. He had to be. The original purpose of the mansion and the grounds was as a functional estate. This yielded to recreational purposes, and finally a deep, mythological story of considerable…

bb:

Depth?

Hucka D.:

You. And Lisa. And Marty. And Herman and Lilly. And… someone else.

bb:

2E2E.

Hucka D.:

Wallace, yes.

bb:

So getting back to the formation of Herman Park, Lisa set up Head, Heart, Hand, Health. With Health spinning the opposite way because it was on the opposite side of The Way from all the others.

Hucka D.:

All this was set up *at once*, as it were. As it is. As it will be and is and was. WIS.

bb:

I’m having trouble quite grasping that.

Hucka D.:

Because you are limited to time-space. Even in death you do not escape this cloistering gravity.

bb:

So I guess Herman and Lilly had trouble with[ the concept] as well.

Hucka D.:

They understood [the concept of] Munster MASHup. (Hucka D. clarifies that spelling, once more)

—–

bb:

Of course. *Flat top*!

http://www.lyricstime.com/roger-waters-the-tide-is-turning-lyrics.html

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning

Hmm…

Second Life neighbor has pulled up stakes and left, with her parcel up for sale. VWX Town down 1 resident out of 2 actual residents. Kind of sad; never met the avatar, but I appreciated her support of my city for sure. Makes me think the end is not far for VWX Town itself.

Land prices are going up and up on Second Life mainland. Will have to rent most likely to survive. Have, let’s see, about 3 more weeks to decide before the next tier payment. What reasons do I have for sticking around?

Possible Palmistry Connections…

Cheiro

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheiro

Cheiro: Palmistry for All at Project Gutenberg

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20480/20480-h/20480-h.htm

INSERT: Picture of my hand I accidentally poked at work with a pencil on the Life Line, a day after being poked several times in the same hand by thorns while above the Head Line itself in Herman Park. I noted the connection between the multiple pokings at the time, but didn’t realize until just now, in looking down at my hand, that the last poke occurred precisely on the Life Line. The other pokes from the day before came on the thumb of the other hand (right).

I’m wondering if this poked point on the Life Line represents The Present, or a specific point in Herman Park, perhaps the position of Shark Rock or what I now may call *Poke Rock*, which has an actual hole going all the way through it.

Also confusing to me now is that, traditionally, palmistry’s *Head Line* lies below the Heart Line apparently, contrary to what some Internet sites say. So, top to bottom: Heart Line, Head Line, and then Life Line as the 3 major lines of the hand.

I also wanted to re-examine the Hand map of Baxter County Arkansas talked about before in relation to Sharieland (May post).

Here’s the original source:

http://ozarkshistory.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Eye in Hand.

—–

Hucka D.:

Closest to Herman[‘s Mansion]. Dewey defeats Truman. Dewey is Herman. Head Line includes. Um. 2 Hermans on either end. Trumann near Herman Arkansas.

—–

Interesting: “H E A D” and “lines” (grid overlay).

http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/sfran.htm

Position of Trumann, Arkansas related to this grid. It lies basically in the exact center on the western edge.

Translation: these grid lines are all *head lines*, like the famous Chicago Tribune’s “Dewey Wins”. This is also the location of the St. Francis *Sunk Lands*.

New Madrid Earthquakes as Seen Through Dark Glasses

In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.

Detail from above map, zooming in. Notice that two names within the St. Francis Sunk Lands involve the two objects that poked my hand several days ago: Thorn [School] and Lead [Fork], situated within 1 mile of each other. These resonate with the thorny bushes that stung my thumb twice, and the lead in the pencil that poked my palm. Notice also there are *2 separate* Lead Forks on this map, not far apart, as if to reinforce this resonance. Am I stretching it? I don’t think so — just being a completist.

Robert Fritzius, the author of the attached article, noticed the repeated Lead Forks as well, along with some other name oddities within his pinpointing grid. I’ll quote them here, which includes queer info on Panther Island:

The clear cut area near the north end of Hatchie Coon Island was apparently a Homestead Settlement back in 1908. It is accessible from the east via Craighead County Road 82, which is also known as Hatchie Coon Road. [Added 06 Jan 2006.]

About a mile east of the homestead settlement just mentioned, is an area known as Panther Island. This area is enclosed inside an oval on the topo map. Shawnee Chief Tecumseh is credited with prophesying that a continent shaking catastrophe would occur on December 16th 1811. The name Tecumseh means Panther in the sky. Anybody having knowledge of how Panther Island came to have that name please contact the author. (Does Indian history in any way connect Chief Tecumseh with Lake St. Francis?) [Added 28 Feb 2006.]

He continues…

At the bottom of the section of the USGS topo map, shown just above, there is a ditch located along the inside edge of the eastern levee which borders the St. Francis sunk lands. The ditch is labled “Iron Mines Creek.” (This name is enclosed in a elongated vertical ellipse.) Anybody having knowledge as to whether there ever were iron mines in the St. Francis Lake area, and if so, where they were, please contact the page author. Also, on the St. Francis river, itself, near the former southern boundary of St. Francis Lake, are two annotations, “Lead Fork.” (These are enclosed in the shorter horizonatal ellipses.) If anybody knows what the meaning of these notations are, especially if the words “Lead” pertain to the metallic element bearing the same name, please contact page author. [See correspondent’s comments below.]
[Added 26 Feb 2006.]

According to Scott May, a member of the Hatchie Coon Hunting and Fishing Club, Inc., the 1849 meander line (shown on the 1956 topo map above) is a misnomer, because when the surveyors came in the winter of 1849, the water was too deep in the area near Hatchie Coon. This fact is reflected on the surveyor’s notes available in the State Land Office in Little Rock, AR. [Added 08 Aug 2006.]

According to May, the southern “lead fork” is locally known as “Stud Horse Run,” and the fact that the same name appears in two different locations may be a mapping error. He says (with respect to the word lead, as in lead forks) “It is definitely lead as in the metal. I have never heard it pronounced as in to “lead” the horse to water.” [Added 08 Aug 2006.]

The hunting and fishing club, mentioned above, is located on the west side of the St. Francis river, southwest of the lower “lead fork.” On the 1956 topo map, it is located inside the red rectangle. [Added 09 Aug 2006.]

If there were any lead or iron mines, however temporary, in the Hatchie Coon/Saint Francis Lake area, then there may be old photographs, news clippings, or other narrative materials relating to them. These could be tucked away in albums or stored in other keepsake stashes. Any readers who can find any materials of this nature, which provide dates, names, locations, etc., of the mines, is heartily encouraged to contact the author. They can be incorporated on this webpage. [Added 08 Aug 2006.]

More info about an attached theory concerning a comet that passed by Earth at the same time the New Madrid earthquakes occurred by Fritzius:

http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/1811.htm

He and others speculate the two events could be connected, and that the St. Francis Sunk Lands is the result of a meteor impact that caused the earthquakes (!). And of course, coming from my direction again, there’s the whole tie-in with Second Life’s Sunklands, but that’s too much info to cram into this post.

Sharieland Again 01

Cool view up toward the open space containing Herman’s Mansion from Head Line below.

There’s definitely a considerable amount of poison ivy and poison oak (below) in the area, but moreso in the meadow between the path and the mansion, as I found out last Tuesday. More on that in a moment.

Interesting rocks litter the area around Head Line and Heart Line below the mansion. I’ll make a more comprehensive study soon, perhaps even tomorrow and the day after that, which I’ve taken off from work for additional hiking fun. Can’t wait.

Below we have part of what I may call The Walls, in the vale directly below the center of Head Line, or what might be called the Zero or Null or Unnameable Vale.

The following 3 stones or groups of stones are from the same vale, which runs from near the top of Head Line down to Heart Line and then beyond. Currently there is no flowing water in this particular valley until it reaches Heart Line.

The rock seen below will soon be named, but I’m not sure what. It is prominently situated to the north of the vale’s middle, just above The Walls region. It rises up from the forest floor like an omphalos.

Manmade grouping of stones near Head Line.

Now we come to what appears to be a very important rock of Sharieland: what I originally thought might be *Eye* Rock but what I’m tempted now, in light of additional information gleaned in the meantime, to re-name Poke Rock.

The hole in the rock that goes all the way through has literally been connected with a recent poke in my right hand by a pencil at work, coupled with several jabs by thorny bushes just above Herman Park’s Eye/Poke Rock the day before. But it can also be associated with the eye in the hand, and perhaps even Second Life itself and its eye-in-hand logo.

Some additional reasons for this association:

All the pokes mentioned above — 2 in Herman Park last Tuesday and 1 at work the following day — occurred in my right hand. The palmistry lines of the right hand happens to be the one that Herman Park/Sharieland “lines” or paths seem to conform with, not the lines of the left hand.

Below we have a picture of a rock immediately behind Eye/Poke Rock from this angle, which I’m tempted to call Poke Rock and leave Eye Rock as is. Poke Rock also seems to represent a face, perhaps one in pain or agony. I believe it could represent the brief agony of the hand poke I experienced, as Eye Rock represents the poke itself. The jab is more a mirror of Eye/Poke rocks than visa versa (stronger resonance creates weaker or secondary resonance); it is merely drawing my attention to them by a small but memorable, resonant experience (the poke, itself augmented by additional, smaller ones the day before). The eye of Eye Rock, where a hole projects all the way through to the other side, is itself on a line in the rock, which also appears like a mouth. This broader perspective, where the rock becomes a face, makes the eye a dimple in the rock directly above the tangential hole instead. The face itself appears shark-like or perhaps mole-like, with a long, extended nose; small, “beady” eye; and expressionless (straight) mouth. BUT, it also could be interpreted as *pencil* shaped… hmm, maybe I should rename this Pencil Rock.

Note as well that the two rocks can be juxtaposed in photos to make the pointed end of Eye Rock superimpose on either of the two “eyes” of Poke Rock. Curiouser and curiouser once again — Herman and Frank parks always have surprises in store just around the next corner.

In contrast, Poke Rock (below photo, again) has two distinct and much wider eyes, and an open mouth. It also contains a semblance of a nose with nostrils between the eyes.

There is also the convincing appearance of nostrils in rocks on the other side of Eye Rock from Poke Rock, as if to reinforce or bolster my interpretation.

Directly above this is a rock stacking of obviously man-made origin. Have others also been draw to these rocks in the past, perhaps even connecting them with contrasting faces as I have?

Another interesting rock nearby; more pictures forthcoming tomorrow I hope. I’m going to be very tempted, I believe, to call the small, sunken area around Pencil Rock/Poke Rock the Sunk Lands or just Sunk Lands, per the St. Francis Sunklands.. We’ll see how it plays out soon enough.

What I’m calling Smiley Rock for obvious reasons, a bit downhill from Pencil Rock/Poke Rock.

But to my short story about poison ivy/oak: So I had taken the pictures seen above, including Pencil Rock, and was attempting to hike uphill from Heart Line back to Head Line so that I could follow it to the western meadow and back to my car parked beyond it. What I believe happened in the ensuing effort is that I overshot the eastern end of Head Path, going too far north and east, and ended up in a meadow with increasing amounts of poison ivy and oak as I hiked up into it, to my exasperation. It was as I attempted to dodge some of the yellowing but perhaps still potent leaves of the stuff that I accidentally poked my thumb with the aforementioned thorns from a bush or several bushes. Well, I did managed to make it up the meadow to a road running in front of Herman Mansion without further harm, only to find this sign beside it. Seems like I’m not the only one to notice the profusion of poison ivy/oak in the area. Didn’t manage to contract the rash either, but I washed my pants and socks and scrubbed my legs when returning home.

Note that lead (as in the pencil lead that poked my palm the day after this) is also a poison.

If I give up VWX Town in Nov…

… I’ll simply make the Rubi Forest my home. So says Baker Bloch, 10/12/13.

In “Real Life”, I’ve just completed taping another carrcass (Carrcass-8) and will perhaps complete Carrcass-9 by next weekend. Definitely entering another strong period of such creation, to add to Real Life hiking. I’m still behind with text generation for Sharieland related posts, and I have more photos in the queue to be added to the blog with more to come next week. Exciting time of year. I probably shouldn’t have kept VWX Town for October but I just couldn’t bear to delete the thing. Maybe some more stories will come out of it after all. Maybe another town meeting. But the focus now is on carrcasses and hiking for certain.

bb:

I don’t think I’ll ever have an attraction like this to another virtual reality, Hucka. Second Life was so perfect for me at the time. Others are more “games.”

—–

I don’t think Hucka D. is around tonight.

The Table:

Protect The Table. Me.

bb:

Are you the table in The Church of The Diagonal?

The Table:

Set it up. Pool.

bb:

The Diagonal is the most important new development for me in Second Life this year. My Second Lyfe.

—–

Hucka D…

I have VWX Town for another month now.

Hucka D.:

Good. Too much information to leave behind. I understand.

bb:

Carrcass-10 [or whatever] is steaming along now. Using artists I hadn’t before, with a new appreciation coming into play perhaps.

Hucka D.:

You see the end now. Of the present system.

bb:

Yeah, I suppose. And then I’m hiking, of course, and generating photos from all that. Exciting time of the year!

Hucka D.:

Where to put your priorities? You don’t have to rush with VWX Town now. Explore Heterocera more. It’s not quite dead. Pepper is center.

bb:

Brought forth from the edge to the center, passing between Greenup on one side and Yellow Down on the other side. Brown log equals Brownie, now known as Dark Space. Pepper was pulled through Dark Space from the edge to move to the center. This must be important.

Hucka D.:

Important must this be.

bb:

What is the meaning?

Hucka D.:

Study Pepper. I’m here to help. Make Pepper a link there.

bb:

How ’bout here[ instead].

Hucka D.:

Good. Let me look over your shoulder and study it.

bb:

You’ll have to get a stool.

Hucka D.:

Of course. (pause) Where’s our stool again?

bb:

Never mind, I’ll lower myself down so that you can see.

Hucka D.:

Thanks. (pause as Baker lowers and adjusts for comfort) I see that…

—–

bb:

Actually the post is here, Hucka D. I’ll just give the link in full and let the blog do the work…

Giving It All Back…

—–

And here’s the actual, direct link to the Sgt. Pepper symmetry information I was wanting… we were wanting.

http://invanddis.proboards.com/thread/5758?page=2

Hucka D.:

Okay, first of all Lt. Pepper spraying the pepper spray in the center of it all is the same as Sgt. Pepper.

bb:

An upgrade. Probably your line there.

Hucka D.:

He was brought forth from edge to center to match the water goddess, as hot pepper [spray] is associated with fire, the opposite of water.

bb:

Correct. So Lt. Pepper is matched or paired with the unnamed water goddess right off the bat.

Hucka D.:

And the Sgt. Pepper cover is composed of *cutouts*, just like Lt. Pepper is a [virtual] cutout.

bb:

He’s just cleaning up after the Westies and Southies after all. (smiles)

Hucka D.:

[Cutout] like Ranger Johns and Biker Jones. Like Ben Thar the attendant of your city hall. Like Cardboard[ Cutout] Derek Jones, no relation to Biker.

bb:

No, I don’t think so. So C. Derek Jones must be pretty happy that Central has been totally remodelled, and in the style of Westside with all those palm trees.

Hucka D.:

And we have a palm on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Palms, because of the hand above Paul’s head. Another palm.

http://invanddis.proboards.com/thread/5758

Paul’s head is portrayed on the limb of a tree just as the story requires. Sgt. Pepper shows a palm tree on the far right, but as you can see in the image below, there are two palms on Sgt. Pepper. One is literal; the other is a picture pun over Paul’s head: An open hand, palm forward. The arm that holds the palm over Paul’s head may rightly be called a limb, so Paul cleverly portrays a death’s head on the limb of a palm. (To further sweeten this pun, the man’s name is PaulM).

bb:

I can’t see. You’re too low to the ground. And stop taking my computer away from me! (laughs)

Hucka D.:

Two palms, then. Like 23 and 46. Oh, did you get the number game? 4 and 20. Like Lincoln’s emancipation speech.

bb:

Um, that’s actually 4 score and 7 years ago, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Oh… right. So 4 score x 20 is 80 years, which is the time relevant.

bb:

80 was the number of posts in the Gene Fade Mtn. rock event, Hucka. [LINK]

Hucka D.:

Central is the Sgt. Pepper album cover now. Work on that.

bb:

Well, in looking at it we *do* have the crashed and flaming car to the left, corresponding with the blue Buick nose down in the water to the left of Lt. Pepper as we’re facing him.

Hucka D.:

There ya go. That defines the limit.

bb:

There are a considerable number of Sgt. Pepper images in the Art 10×10 and the Art 10×10 extension, Hucka D. Maybe I should log on — *log* on — and take a look at them… for them.

Hucka D.:

You log on. You appear at the surface, the opening. You are at center, like your home [base/starting point] is just in front of Lt. Pepper now. So you can reach your stuff as quickly as possible. For you are Lt. Pepper as well.

bb:

Makes[ a kind of] sense.

Hucka D.:

And the nose down car of *both* Sgt. Pepper and your VWX Town — balanced by the nose of the giant, unnamed head poking through the pink curtain. Pink and blue can be seen as opposites, like girl and boy. Little Boy Blue and Little Girl Pink.

bb:

I’m going to log in and take a look around while you keep talking, Hucka D. Keep talking, though, I mean.

bb:

I don’t know what those circling two lights are up there, Hucka.

“The [dragon] pepper exists between the Lt. and the water goddess. Both are spraying… both are emitting sprays.”

“The row boat exists about the same place as the null position on the other side of Lt. Pepper. What I mean by this…”

Hucka D.:

I know what you mean by that. Yes, the row boat is stuck, like it would be stuck at the null position where the two flows of the stream north and south, impossibly meat and cancel each other out. I’m here to help.

“First prim is directly above the null spot on the bank to the west. I’m sitting there and looking directly down at the clashing flows.”

“Then it’s obvious that the green waste pouring from the pipe on the Toxic Art Gallery — toxic waste we must assume — is the same or directly associated with the green, nuclear waste smoke coming from the reactor.”

“And this balances the volcano on the other side of Central now, with its own, similar shaped, attached building. This was kind of a conscious association when I placed the structures, Hucka.”

“The pink flamingo even balances the blue water goddess like the Buick does for the pink shrouded head.”

Hucka D.:

You can talk to any of these characters. You can call another town meeting. I’ll be most happy to attend.

A yellow cat eye stares back at Baker while he stands within Hole in the Wall. He’s been here too long. Logging out!

VWX Town [Central] has been reborn like Sgt. Pepper equals the rebirth of the old Beatles. Replacement band.
