“Mr. Murdock: Why do you contain islands?”

coming along…
Collagesity, Rubi Forest style, is getting in shape. I’ve now successfully re-established both the Falmouth and Power Tower galleries containing the vast bulk of my newer collages. Cool… but I don’t relish the thought of moving the things again (!) Falmouth and Power Tower divide urban from suburban in the town, with the latter less finished than the former. I need to start thinking about a new town philosophy. If you count a caddycorner relationship, this is the *sixth* time I’ve owned land bordering the Rubi Forest down through the years now, and in all four cardinal directions as well. I’ll have to make a map sometime of the ownership history. I’ve never owned in Minoa, the sim I inhabit now, which makes it a new chapter of sorts. My new land also borders the opposite corner of the forest from the property I held in Hector earlier this year. They probably act as some kind of balance for each other.
I’ll make a town map soon. The downtown area in the southern part appears to be a step up in energy for Collagesity from Noru even, better integrating Sam Parr State College with several former exterior elements, like the Kidd Tower, Bodega Market, SoSo gallery, and X Spot Gallery. As stated before, President Karoz is now super excited after a bout of trepidation over the move.
Hmm. There actually is a village called Minoa in New York, the only one with that root name.

I’ll have to think about possible links with the newest version of Collagesity in the Minoa sim.
This may be *it* — my final Second Life move. I’m very, very pleased with the outcome of the admittedly quite sudden uprooting. It helped a heck of a lot that I abandoned my Noru land and thus was able to gradually move a lot of the components over to Minoa before their derezzing (which still hasn’t happened in bulk). Although the Power Tower and Falmouth galleries were set up there as well, Hector never developed into a true town, like Collagesity in Noru did. Minoa successfully continues this incorporation. Another plus is the close proximity of the already established TILE Tower still in Rubi, along with a small bar there. Funtastic.
Here’s an exciting prospect as well. Even when I fit out the remaining buildings I might have upwards of 650 prims to still play around with in a skybox situation. I didn’t resurrect the Noru Museum, and I think that saved about 150 prims right there. On the other hand, the two Victorian houses I currently have in Collagesity didn’t appear in Noru. A happy conundrum, though (!)

map sinking feeling 02
Wyoming in Iowa County in Wisconsin, a unique location because of the 3 different state names it highlights, is certainly also highlighted by this place, called “[Frank Lloyd] Wright’s architectural self portrait.”

Traveling down another arm that is the octopus of this map series, I noted that The Arches in Winona County, Minnesota (the Gopher state) is an anagram of Teachers, and Teacher is a story in Winesap highlighted by other maps. I think it partially refers to the teachers of James Franco, who has famously returned to not one but several schools to study and earn degrees at recently. One has already been pictured in the blog, and it is coded into Winona County as well.
A logical deduction would have it that The Arches, in Warren township next to a Wilson township, may refer to a teacher or perhaps multiple teachers of that school. Coincidentally, about a month ago I started corresponding again with an old boss who may be teaching at this very college during spring semester. Is this the teacher referred to? If not, it still seems to fit in somewhere. And what about the only other population place in this Warren township: Wyattsville? Is this the name of a teacher as well? The colorful, hand drawn map of Winona County jokingly associates this town with Wyatt Earp, although there appears to be no other direct connection outside the names themselves. But we’ve also previously noted that Wyatt was born in a Warren County (Illinois) and also had a younger brother named Warren with whom he shared many of his wild west adventures.
Teachers? (Probably.)
If so, it means another red-blue focusing (see Winona-Rollingstone below), and a gateway to the future *beyond* any need for such teachers. I will be free but on my own. It will be good. Red-blue, then Beyond Green. I think it has to do with friendship as well (Jenifer Anniston). I cannot be friends with my teachers, can I? I was taught to create procedures for what I do (work). That it?
So it was important enough to make this map sync, hmm.
Maybe Media, Pennsylvania is an important key. Audiovisual synchs, after all, involve protection of the attached audio and visual media. Maybe this is a meeting place, a middle town.

Media and the FBI
Media may be best known for secret government documents that were illegally seized there by activists in 1971 and distributed nationwide. On March 8 of that year, the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI raided an FBI “resident agency” in Media. They later released thousands of documents to major newspapers [the *media*] around the country. These documents revealed controversial and illegal FBI tactics, like the recruitment of Boy Scouts as informants, and confirmed for the first time the existence of COINTELPRO, an FBI program to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” dissident groups in the United States.[13]
