SPSP 33 Line 02

Prime line: 1.32 miles long. The line traverses Sam Parr Lake near its longest stretch of water, at an angle of approx. 338 degrees. The line grazes a quite suspicious number of peninsulas along the way, as I’ve marked on the map. Position 132 is at the upper end of the lake, 1.32 miles away from point 000. This can be read as 4 x 33 for our purposes. Position 33 is 0.33 miles up from position 000 on this line, or 1/4th the way up its length. This happens to mark the only boat found floating freely in the lake in this GoogleEarth map rendering from 2013, that is, away from any dock. Position 25 (0.25 miles from 000) just below marks the end of a pier where another, very similar looking boat is docked. The boat, just to the west of the 33 Line, is also 0.25 miles from position 000. It is the only boat besides the one at 033 not docked at the park’s marina, as far as I can tell. If the end of the SPSP 33 Line is determined to be at position 125 instead of 132, then point 025 is 1/5th the way up this slightly shorted version.

How the boat positions along the SPSP 33 Line appear to relate to musical harmonics:

Boat 33 (at 0.33 miles) and Boat 25 (at 0.25 miles) define the 2 lake harmonics of 133 (1.33) and 125 (1.25) respectively. Boat 33 is situated at the 1/4th point of the former, and Boat 25 at the 1/5th point of the latter. Maybe they are the same type of boat, even. Maybe they are the *same* boat (:o) at slightly different points in space and time.

SPSP 33 Line 01

The line originally began at Illinois Highway 33 passing just east of Newton in Jasper County. Although the angle and position of the line never changed, the beginning was slightly later moved up to where it crosses the lowest point of Sam Parr Lake.

The shoreline and attached features to the west take on the appearance of Grandpa Simpson, and I believe this could be reference to his history discussion in the episode Lemon of Troy about the rivalry between Springfield (where The Simpsons live) and neighboring Shelbyville. I quote a wikipedia article on this episode below.

When Marge catches Bart vandalizing a town sidewalk by writing his name in wet cement, she lectures him on the importance of town pride. Afterwards, Bart realizes how wonderful it is living in Springfield. Consequently, however, Bart also becomes upset with anti-Springfield sentiments coming from the neighboring town of Shelbyville. Grampa explains that this rivalry can be traced back to the establishment of the two towns. This occurred when the founders Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan discovered they had irreconcilable differences regarding their visions for a perfect town, Springfield favoring promotion of chastity and Shelbyville advocating incestuous marriages between cousins.

According to Carrcassonnee’s considerable and unique body of wisdom, the rivalry is directly attached to that of Islam vs. Christianity, or, more specifically, the debate between Abraham’s sons Isaac and Ishmael, as illustrated in the below video from a West Wing episode of the same title.

It’s about Springfield (Grandpa, “an old man talking”), making peace with Shelbyville. They have common roots. They shake hands across the lake.

Reversed, the face across the lake gives the appearance of having a chicken-like beak, and there’s even an attached chicken claw dangling to its side. This *might* be connected to short lived Aqua Teen character Chicken Bittle, an original group leader, but still uncertain of that. This is not as obvious.
