Hucka D.:

11 individuals are involved in The Pyramid. Future researchers will divide over some choices. Jack is obviously Paul, however. Ring woman becomes Ringo, as we’ve discussed before I believe. The spectacled guy becomes similarly spectacled John Lennon. Some say this is a young Woodrow Wilson. Then the other woman is obviously a fit for George Harrison. I don’t think there’s any error in these choices. Good work!

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D. Then the man with the 3rd eye subs for Pepper’s William S. Burroughs. That’s another obvious one.

Hucka D.:

Correct. (pause) The first controversial choice may be Closed Eyes Woman for Marilyn Monroe. At first I believe you had her as George instead.

bb:

Yes. Marilyn seems to fit[ however].

Hucka D.:

They[ William S. Burroughs and Marilyn Monroe] form the top of the pyramid, with the Burroughs sub still dominating. He is obviously the eye at the top, see.

bb:

Yes. Illuminating.

Hucka D.:

The two woman in the middle right take the place of… just checking (pause)… artist Larry Bell [lower] and explorer David Livingston. I think the mustachioed guy makes a great fit for Johnny Weissmuller, the swimmer who played Tarzan.

bb:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

Let’s see, that’s 9 of the 11. Then Issy Bonn is the smiley guy. Then the 11th is almost hidden by the hand… that’s (pause) writer Stephen Crane. Sister Carrie Stephen Crane. The hand is Jack’s again, to complete. It’s like a rack of [shiny] billiard balls, formerly disorganized. That’s what Pepper did for The Shining.

10-ball-rack

bb:

10 in number.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Beatles at bottom. 4 across. Then 3 then 2 then 1. The All Seeing Eye.

bb:

But there’s the 11th to deal with.

Hucka D.:

Much controversy will come of that.

DIXFIELD — The beloved official town mascot, Bullrock the Moose, became a casualty of Wednesday evening’s ferocious thunderstorm.

Wednesday evening’s winds from a powerful thunderstorm toppled Bullrock the Moose, Dixfield’s mascot on the Village Green. The 11-year-old statue also had dry rot, which contributed to its downfall.

Strong winds knocked down the full-scale wooden sculpture, which had been standing in the Village Green since 2000.

“I heard the sad news of Bullrock’s destruction shortly after we opened (Thursday morning),” Charlotte Collins of the Dixfield Town Office said.

Wind was not the only factor contributing to the moose’s demise. Bullrock had developed a bad case of dry rot in his chest as well as his front right leg, making for an already unstable foundation.

Bullrock is named after a local legend, according to town records. The story goes that a wandering moose journeyed from the back side of Dixfield’s Sugarloaf Mountain, approached a formation known as Bull Rock on Sugarloaf and became so entranced with the beauty of the valley below that he lost his footing and plunged over the side to his death.

“Today, Bullrock’s spirit can be seen in the majesty of our forests and the steadfastness of our people,” according to town reports. “He not only symbolizes Dixfield’s colorful past, but represents a strong and steady future for all of us.”

Bullrock the statue began April 18, 2000, when Ted Walker of Peru began carving him. Money was provided by the Economic Development Council.

Walker took two weeks to complete Bullrock using 150-year-old white pine for his body and Norway pine and spruce for his legs and antlers. Falls Taxidermy supplied his big brown eyes and Dan Anctil supplied the log at Bullrock’s feet.

Bullrock was hoisted onto a concrete foundation by Anctil’s log loader and bolted tightly to the concrete slab.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, Bullrock remained in pieces on the ground on the Village Green.

“I have a feeling that Bullrock may rise again,” Collins said.

This representation of the Town of Dixfield was drawn by Letty Ellingwood and evolved into the official town seal. Shown are the Sugarloaves Mountain, Bull Rock, Webb River and Valley, moose, and wildlife. Dixfield’s mascot is a moose named Bull Rock, and its motto is “We Strive.”

Bullrock is back!

DIXFIELD — A stronger, bigger and more resilient Bullrock arrived at the Village Green early Friday afternoon after more than a year of work to replace the town’s mascot.

Wood carver Ted Walker of Rumford anchors Bullrock to his platform early Friday afternoon.

The first Bullrock rotted from the inside after a few years, but this time, creator Ted Walker of Rumford took steps to prevent a similar demise.

The 9-foot tall, 1,500-pound moose is on a pedestal at the entrance to the Green along Route 2 near the village. It’s carved from pressure-treated wood, has some rubberized parts. It’s hollow but looks like a traditional wood carving.

Bullrock’s head is topped with a set of real moose antlers donated by a local hunter.

Norine Clarke, the driving force on the Dixfield Economic Development Council, said funding for the new moose came from insurance and large and small donations from area people.

A Welcome Bullrock party is set for 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 21, at the Village Green. A commemorative cake and punch will be served.

A stuffed moose created by Laurie Taylor and Moose Is Loose T-shirts designed by Hot Colors will be awarded to several of those attending who sign up at the event.

Bullrock was driven from Walker’s home on the Swain Road to its new home by Twin Rivers’ owner Alan Elliott and two employees. They used two of the company’s trucks to move the moose and other items needed to set it up at the Green.

Dixfield Police Department officer Anne Simmons-Edmunds provided an escort into town.

Red Rock

Red rock wasn’t on the ice when I passed it the first time. Upon returning about 15 minutes later, it was there, prominently displayed. I don’t believe there’s any way I could have missed it.

IMG_0101smaller

IMG_0102smaller

The approx. 4 foot long ice flow that I broke off with a stick at the time *wasn’t* present, even though there appeared nowhere for it to go in the meantime. The piece broke off only several feet down from the red rock.

IMG_0104smaller

The wife and I got a laugh out of this when I told her about this aspect of the mystery, because it instantly reminded us of the Might Boosh jingle “Ice Flow, Nowhere to Go”, which we sing on occasion to cheer ourselves up during very cold weather. Do the Bill Mtn. aliens have a heightened sense of humor as well?

Nearby frozen P Creek. Frozen peas — hmm. Almost identical in angle to the last photo from this earlier F&HE! blog post from almost a year ago.

Neighboring red barn. Red again…

In the very next blog post…

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/so-2/

… Hucka D. psychically seems to hint at the manifestation of this future red rock. If so, it could also be connected to the future development of Epsi with its matching black and white rocks.

Hucka D.:

There’s two things to look for…

bb:

Land and water?

Hucka D.:

The black rocks, the white rocks. Black and white. (pause) Red.

Theory:

The Bill displaced Herbert, Alabama from Conecuh County to Butler County to be near Saucer and Forest Home. A particular geometric arrangement was even established, Fake Herbert, as we’ve been calling it, the same distance from Forest Home as Saucer. Herbert stands for Frank, as in *Frank* Park, home of Bill Mountain. We are now calling the aliens The Bill. Again: Fake Herbert, Alabama was set up by The Bill. They were indicating that Bill Mtn. is their *forest home*.

That Herbert was moved from near Paul to near Forest Home means that an attachment to author Frank Herbert and his Dune starring seer Paul Atreides has been removed, or perhaps *carried over*. This is now a Frank Park/The Bill issue. End and beginning of two, separate Cardinal Roads is also thrown in the mix. Together they stand for the beginning and end of the *middle* third of Baker’s Creek, Mississippi. They are at the 1/3 and 2/3 point of the creek from mouth (Port Gibson) to source. They emphasize *Cardinal Gibson* (Bob).

Red Rock is a summary point of Black Rocks and White Rocks, US of A. What’s black and white and red all over?

SL News, etc.

[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.

http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/Over-Nite_Sensation.html#Montana

I’m gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An’ ride him all along the border line

With 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.
