[Ike] listened to the tape and he goes, “What is this shit?” and walked out”.
As of tonight I do not own any land in Rubi, Heterocera Continent. I feel an age has come to an end, virtually speaking. From here on, I will continue to do some creative experiments in that reality, but never with whole small communities again. Pietmond will remain unique and a center. Sunklands as well. I’d like to go back and start reading the Baker Blinker Blog over again soon. Spring hiking season is coming up in the mountains. It was a good time to sell. I sold the land for about 75 dollars, about 15 more than I bought it with. Small profit on a land sale for a change! But this is not really about the money. Okay, a bit, since I’d have to pay 75 dollars in tier come Feb. 6th. Now I have to decide whether I want to even keep the 1024 square meter parcel I still own in Philudoria, which I’ve had since July, 2013. I also have a 2048 in the same sim but strangely I don’t have to pay for that. It seems to be some kind of “gift.” So I’m away from the Rubi Forest now, although I *still* do have the TILE Tower there, come to think of it. Interested to see what the new owner of the land develops. Unfortunately I don’t even have some parting shots of VWX Town. VWX Town is no more, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
It can return. But probably shouldn’t in Second Life. Keep developing structures. Galleries. Of course still create collages. That will develop the structures around them.
bb:
I still live, in Philudoria, near VHC City. That’s pretty cool[ still].
Hucka D.:
Good (pause).
bb:
Should I explore Bill Mountain tomorrow?
Hucka D.:
You know it starts at Mt. Zircon now. That is Bill Mountain. That is Billy the Mountain. The second of 2 major Zapple contributions to carrcasses along with…
bb:
Lumpy Gravy.
Hucka D.:
You said it, not me[ that way]. Where is Lump?
bb:
In Montana. Like the Frank Zappa song.

I’m gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An’ ride him all along the border lineWith a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
Hucka D.:
Mountain descends to hill. Bill Hill. Here you have the lemon-lime controversy. We haven’t talked about how Lemon World is encoded in shot 61.
bb:
You’re talking about the poster with the elephant, the lion, the dog.
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
Let’s see. Lemon World supposedly started in the sim of Ratzenberger, on Yd Island. That is the original sim; that’s the original island of the world. Then Lower Astra came second. It was doubled Yd Island. In the center grew the first true Second Life community. In the Mysten sim.
Hucka D.:
I will take over now. You know this is a giant green cube of 1024 proportions. Happy it was called[ at the time]. And of course it was accompanied quickly by Unhappy the Red.
bb:
I can explore now. I am unencumbered [once more]!
Hucka D.:
This community was also called Philo. Your Seven Stones community healed the split between Happy and Unhappy, the green and red. But more important is the collusion [sic?] of Lemon and Lime worlds there. Your 10×10 collages can heal [in many situations] virtually speaking, and Carrcass+2 and Carrcass+1. This is 2006-7. Oblong. Tap into that energy now for stability. This is the Nautilus Continent.
