“Maybe this Chilbo related painting will keep Head of Perch away,” the perpetually beer guzzling Baker Bloch thinks hopefully. Little does he know the wheels already set in motion this day.

Spider’s Big Adventure
“Oh no, Spider got loose!” Baker Bloch forgot to make the wall non-phantom upon his return from a drinking binge on Drunk Man’s Ridge.
“Bad Wolf? Bad dog!” he slurs upon attempting to retrieve the mutt.
“Come back here you troumblemayor!” Troublemaker he meant here. A meaningful Freudian slip…
… because Lord Vice Mayor Starbuccaneer Resident happened to be walking past the front of Stairs Gallery at the time, on her way to see friends Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Hippo, and recently resurrected Ellie the Elephant at the Confluence Place. When she was directly beneath Spider perched on the BOB balcony, the dog jumped onto her head, knocking her over.
“I’ve killed her”, the small dog thought. But, no, Starbuccaneer Resident would live to tell of the day when she decided to challenge Baker Bloch for the title of Lord *Mayor* of Collagesity. And all because of this *vice*, as she liked to put it, always laughing during the moment. Because, you see, she was soon to be “Vice” herself no more.

Roaming 03 (Back Home)
A most logical place to put a certain protesting gnome in Collageisty: underneath the BOB gallery sign. Get it? Of course you do. But I actually didn’t really plan the conjunction — once more. I believe there’s a strong possibility that the gnome’s name is Bob as well, or at least that’s what he will claim. But please don’t call him Bob Resident or you’ll probably get whacked on the shin by his sign.
Rodin’s The Thinker, also a new town, um (whispers), “resident”, perhaps ponders the meaning of a blue bike in both Collagesity *and* collaged Stonethwaite in the Fal Mouth Moon gallery. Food for thought fer sure.
Baker Bloch outfitted a single room apartment in the back of BOB so that Edwardston Resident could live in Collagesity as well. But he likes it so much he’s thinking of staying there himself instead. Then where will *Edwardston* stay? Will he be blocked from coming back because of this? Is it fair to Edwardston? But, after all, Baker Bloch is Lord Town Mayor. For now (more on that soon).
Certainly an interesting view through that semi-transparent wall up to Drunk Man’s Ridge from the room. And I think that’s what Baker likes most about it, along with the increased privacy in comparison to House Orange. I’m not totally certain, but I have this feeling that Head of Perch may pay a visit to this room soon. Baker, are you *sure* you want to be the one in it at the time?
Oh, I forgot to mention that Baker has found Carrcassonnee’s dog Spider (!) Unfortunately, Carrcassonnee has now disappeared in turn. Baker is asking townspeople for help in taking care of the canine until Big C’s return. Or maybe he can just turn over this particular chore to Edwardston (?).

Roaming 02
There’s a frosted doughnut hanging in the sky just outside Edgar’s gallery, on land owned by Grid Explorers.
Very cool: on this parcel I also found a garden hose created by my old SL friend Cocoanut Koala, who I knew from both early Azure Island days and then from mainland experiences in Rubi a bit as well. She created, or perhaps still creates, very beautifully detailed work. She had a whole virtual village in Rosieri caddycorner to Rubi during my stay in the latter, filled to the brim with her artistry. I own several pieces by her, including a Ravenwood Cottage and a small shed.
A considerable amount of Cocoa’s stuff was found on this small Grid Explorer parcel, centered around a garden shed.
Another, nearby non-Cocoa shed, surrounded by natural beauty. That’s a rooster silhouetted against the sky beside it. As I wrote “rooster” there, it crowed at Edwardston Resident in another window (!).
Baker Bloch sees the sun about to set and decides to sprint back home to Collagesity toward the north. There more adventures await him this night.
Collagesity’s Toxic Art Gallery comes into view. You can see the tree-ferns of Hanja to Baker’s right.

Roaming 01
This night Baker Bloch decides to roam the neighborhood instead of working on Collagesity.
Baker heads south through the western part of Noru from his town. As he passes into the Mujigae sim, he turns and shoots this picture of a sign at the sim crossing. It was a familiar one, since he use to own a bunch of Noru land directly behind it in 2010: the now legendary (to him) Norum Woods, with the Blue Feather Gallery intially featured as a skybox from April to July of that year before moving groundside in August. And even though he abandoned the land in September, I believe, the forest remained for a number of months to come. You can visit Collagesity’s Noru Museum for more pictures of the forest and attached Blue Feather Gallery (and more!).
Baker actually also owned this land in Mujigae south of the sign pictured both above and below. The hollowed out place he looks toward is where a smaller version of the Blue Feather Gallery was positioned in spring 2011. Yes, Baker’s been involved with the Noru area for quite some time now.
Interesting statue just across the mahogany colored Chilbo sidewalk from where the largest version of my Blue Feather Gallery was once position. Hard to take a picture of it as a whole, though.
Story here:
This is an essential duplicate of Tired Falls in Collagesity, sans tire. In fact, I believe the property’s owner, Oddprofessor Snoodle, yet another local with Chilbo attachments, might have copied this from my old neighborhood holdings originally, along with some of my other copyable objects at the time. I have bunches of ’em! I’ll have to provide a tour of Oddprofessor’s very interesting, physics oriented science museum in Mujagae sometime now I’m back in the hood. And, as I’m rechecking just now, O. Snoodle also owns the Sentinel sculpture pictured above.
The fringes of Chilbo proper come into view.
The colonnade fronted building to the right in the below photo turned out to be an art museum…
… featuring the works of Javier Mariano Sanchez…
…and avatar Edgar Artaud.
Ah… found the identity of Edgar’s user…

And there’s a, um, connection with Connectivism, which is an Olando7 focus as well. They must know each other virtually through Chilbo.
