“I don’t…” 02

bb:

But I forget to mention a key element in that last post. Let me get my counting straight… this is Collage Part 1

[ and it gives] us the statue facing left. Notice where his head is in relation to the log above. When the statue “spins” the opposite way…

… the *foot* is placed exactly where the head is, because in the meantime, the *2nd* photo, from 3 years in the future and reduced 50 percent in size, has been fitted into the middle of the animation. It’s the same log in both, though, and that allows the 2 in 1 relationship to occur. The head is the same as the foot!

Hucka D.:

That is a key to understanding the collage animation, yes. Good work!

bb:

The edge of the insert is where the 2 photos deviate most. They coincide most toward the middle. The small tree where the head stone is inserted in the 3rd part at the bottom/roots is most aligned — the forking branches line up past and present. Another *bridge*.

Hucka D.:

Yes, a time bridge. Past to present.

bb:

Complicated collage!

Hucka D.:

So the statue makes this bridge between past and present, and then disappears in the 4th and final pic of the animation. The statues is the same as the foot stone of the grave, but that’s just the pivot.

bb:

We’ve switched places again. You go.

Hucka D.:

The foot stone is the pivot. No.. *you* go.

bb:

The foot stone… well, you know. It stays in the same place. It is fixed, like the Ancients believed the Earth was fixed and everything revolved around it.

Hucka D.:

They do!

bb:

The Earth revolves through the 4 seasons, like we have 4 parts of the animation. This is representation of Earth.

Hucka D.:

Correct. Spinning. Circle. Circle Back.

bb:

The Head Stone is The Moon?

Hucka D.:

Could[ actually] be the other way ’round. The Foot Stone is The Moon. The Head Stone is the Earth circling around The Moon. But that would mean…

bb:

The *Moon* is the fixed position. That means we’re looking at the collage from a position on The Moon, not The Earth. But that doesn’t make sense.

Hucka D.:

It does if you’re a…

bb:

Don’t say it.

Hucka D.:

Grey.

bb:

Darnit!

“I don’t…

… know where to start, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Going pretty fast, eh?

bb:

Yes! Help!

Hucka D.:

Well, we should focus on Whitehead. England is in the rear view mirror[ now]. Current location is the focus. Let’s take a look at the animation.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/little-whitehead-collage-they-continue/

bb:

What is happening here?

Hucka D.:

You need to get across Little Whitehead[ stream]. The former fairy bridge has collapsed. Manchester statue to the rescue! He circles and then circles back. Lamb. Earth… spinning. Spades and Hearts. 7 and 6. Get Peter SoSo involved.

bb:

But to the collage, it starts with one picture, reduced 50 percent, fitted inside another picture. And this is the picture of the fairy bridge… or, I should say, the location of the fairy bridge. Because in the picture reduced and fitted into the normal sized picture, the bridge is gone, because it’s, let’s see, 3 years I believe in the future and the stick bridge has collapsed in the meantime. The tree in the background, fallen in photo 1, is more fallen in 2. The woods decay… natural effects. Coolie. But in animation 1 and 2, we have the fairy bridge up in the normal photo, and then in 3 and 4 the 50 percent reduction photo is fitted in from 3 years later and the bridge is gone. Now what happens is the Manchester statue makes a new bridge. Doesn’t he?




Hucka D.:

The statuette is the same as the foot stone of the Grave of the Unknown Explorer, buried on a ridge just west of Whitehead Crossing and within its metro area one could say. The statue pivots around to the 4 directions, and the foot stone does the same, swinging around with it the accompanying head stone. So the foot stone is in all 4 pics, but the statuette is missing in the 4th. It’s the[ now] common problem. Where is the 4th, or what happens during the 4th and last motion? The statuette disappears. The foot stone is still there, but not the statuette. And the head stone is gone as well, but that’s not as surprising, we’ll say, since it doesn’t appear in the 1st part either. It’s swinging around — could have disappeared behind some bushes in the last, say.

In collage 3… put up a link…

… we have the impossible situation of a foot stone on the opposite side of a stream [ Little Whitehead] from the head stone. They cannot be *bridged*. Where is the body? and so forth. In collage animation 2, where we have the head stone appearing for the first time (its appearance in the next animation is the second and also last), we have an actual grave possible, since level ground is between foot and head.

Barely, since we are right on the edge of the stream’s bank, with little wiggle room[ for the positioning of the body]. The stones are trying to speak to you. The stream is trying to speak. What is the message? The spinning Manchester statuette spins around… put up that video please…

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mystery-solved-manchester-museums-spinning-ancient-egyptian-statue-isnt-cursed-8951201.html

Oh I have a theory, baker b. Your Second Lyfe friend thinks *I’m* a grey.

bb:

Are you?

Hucka D.:

Just as much as you are or anyone who happens to be surfing the internet and stumbles across these words is.

bb:

Good enough for me. Anyway, there are positive and negative Greys, just like there are positive and negative Humans. We’ll get to “Humanvillians” soon enough, I hope.

Hucka D.:

We can bounce around.

bb:

So the statue spins around[ in the collage animation], like the foot stone spins around — they are one. And a replacement stick bridge is put into effect in 3, parallel with the head stone moving across the stream and placed under that tree root — one of those perfect fits for a collage image… had to be there.

Hucka D.:

Yes (pause) Manipulated photograph.

bb:

The 4th contains no statue simply because I didn’t have a picture of the statue in that position, looking away from the view. Just the right, forward, left and not backwards [positions].

Hucka D.:

Would your Second Lyfe friend wish to know more about TILE? I can send her some brochures.

bb:

Not sure, Hucka D. Maybe we shouldn’t talk about that any more.

Hucka D.:

I think you should make a collage of it. The friend is a collagist and you’re a collagist.

bb:

Maybe. Back to Whitehead X-ing collages[ for now].

Hucka D.:

The Manchester statuette is connected to a particular crop circle you *almost* visited while in England. Good thing you didn’t! And it creates a perfect circle in a similar way. The crop circle contained a code, as Collie found, that traces it back to the statue. Check it out.

bb:

Well, let’s just move on. The point is that 3 years ago I took a pic of what I imagined was a fairy bridge across Little Whitehead[ Stream]. 3 years later, another pic shows the stick bridge gone. Through the power of collage I bring past and present together here. The spinning statuette is forging a substitute bridge through the power of the likewise spinning grave stones. Who is in that grave? A Grey?

Hucka D.:

No. Dogpatch.

Little Whitehead in Da Woods

bb:

Hucka D., I think I’m going to explore logs this summer. Whitehead (and Little Whitehead) logs. Big Log obviously. But others. Pay attention to how logs change year to year. (pause) Hucka D.?

—–

“And I must analyze Zoso and “4 Sticks”, but in relation to Carrcass-3, obviously. That’s how I keep it in long term memory. The song, then, is about Kevin and co. escaping from Black Dog and co. Kevin is injured in the escape, directly over the river in the gorge. Black Dog drops down down, along with a lot of other dogs. “Lost so many.” But Black Dog lives… reports back to master. Master unleashes zeppelin to capture Kevin, distracting by a house on fire. Song is Pretty Thing’s Balloon Burning. Perfect. Kevin appears in a Falmouth Collage already, superimposed on Howl’s Moving Castle. These are both from the now uncommon 1 movie carrcasses. Kevin being injured is like the curse at the crossroads, when the Black Dog “bites”. Wounds. Kevin is the Tall Cool One. Whitehead Chronicles.

Falmouth Collage series becomes Falmouth College, where one studies the collages. So I might be enrolling… well, today. Tomorrow. Since Falmouth Gallery is also a (Moard Ling) Castle (12), then this may be Castle Dundee as well, perched on Cliffs of Dundee about Whitehead Creek and beside Big Log.

“Do you think Mr. Dundee could have made a pact with The Devil, Hucka Doobie?”

Hucka D.:

Explore that idea.

Ocahoma: 61×49!

And an Australia Landing now found very near Duncan and Alligator. Coolie! Maybe Dundee’s power acquired through wrong channels was the ability to turn collages into paintings.

Whitehead X-ing Timeline:

Mossmen reach Korean Channel through Portal System. Silverburg equals early base.

Mossmen establish Red Head near top of Channel. Contact with Bees at their neighboring Greenhead. Realization that they had psychically switched colors red and green with each other.

Whitehead moves into Da Woods. Retired.

Whitehead is not Whitehead before retirement. Is Red Head? Greenhead? He is a future ghost in his whiteness. Grave may be his nearby.

Explore idea that pre-retirement Whitehead is a Greenhead, or maybe a Mossman himself.

What is the relationship between Whitehead and Sinclair, then? Sinclair has his own Toy Room in the Synching Creek Mystery Area. On Sign Line. Primary creation Rock moves away from him and establishes own center at Rock’s House and Lee Triangle (confluence of Sign and Sink Lines). Then he creates Rocket to escape Mystery Area altogether. Lands in Blue Mountain at top of Korean Channel. Symbolically moves up Rocky Trail past Grey Rock/Seal Stone to Edward Stone and its Green [*Moss*] Turtle. Crosses fairy bridge (footbridge) but some say he crosses higher bridge across same Little Whitehead.

Edward of namesake Edward’s stone or Edward Stone. Like Emerald City of Oz, and has its own (The Emerald) (grass top — green before all else around it in Spring). Edward may be the same as Mr. Dundee and if so lives in Dundee Castle atop Dundee Cliffs. Changed his name from Edward to Dundee?

Moss Turtle perhaps created by Mossmen — would make sense.

Who lived in the Fairy House across Green Stream from Whitehead Xing? Was this Rock as well? I believe it is the entity that put Seal Stone atop Grey Rock. He also created or bought or otherwise procured a Crocodile Rock, later “assimilated” by Australian Dundee. There was a female entity named Sharon who controlled the (Seal) Stone, which may be the same as the Edward Stone.

bb:

Cliffs of Dundee have become the same as Burnet 192/192/85 to 160/160/42. The elevation is halved in the descent from top to bottom. Line of Dundee comes into play here as well.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

In THOS, Dundee was a collector of paintings. He got hold of a Waverly Knapp piece, who always dated his works c1812. “Cliffs of Dundee” was one of these paintings, like the rocket picture.

bb:

The picture or painting of the Panama Canal you mean.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Sinclair was an original toy creator. He created Rock. Rock created Rocket. In the middle of the Synching Creek Designated Mystery Area. That’s in your *original* collage. When was that? Way back in 1980 or 1981. That’s where it all started. The Lee Triangle. The Cardinal Triangle. Sealston Heights. The rocket blasted off from Sealston Heights in the middle of the Cardinal Triangle in the middle of[ the Cardinal Province of Middle Gurr]. Rock somehow got a hold of “Notebook I”. He understood the sketchy history of Mythos within — realized High Ur and his Mystery Area was the 3rd eye of the whole thing, the Mythos of the North.

bb:

I think *Whitehead* must have known about that. Whitehead in Da Woods. Whitehead is the same as Sinclair?

Hucka D.:

[There’s that legend.]

bb:

Here’s something, perhaps: Sharon is to Wazob as Seal Stone is to Grey Rock.

Hucka D. (without pause):

Correct.

bb:

Contemplation Loop was designed as a link between Man and Woods.

Maybe the loop is an octagon as well.

I’ve decided that I’m going to eventually have to move my Falmouth Gallery to a new location. Sunklands is a distinct possibility, perhaps in a week or 2. Not that Sunklands has much mystical power left, but it’s still a kind of home (like Rubi).

Hucka D.:

As you’ve gleaned, you must return to music. Animation or collage and music. CHRO and Improvisation. And composition, but CHRO.

bb:

CHRO must be treated as a parody.

Hucka D.:

Collagesity?

bb:

The structures make the collages.

Hucka D.:

When I was in Sikk…

bb:

When *I* was in Sikkima, I didn’t have the Power Tower Gowlery finished. Falmouth wasn’t even conceived — a twinkling in a collagist’s eye. VWX Town was the ultimate for me. But I can’t — couldn’t — afford it.

Hucka D.:

No. The concept is sound[ though].

bb:

I went to real Whitehead X-ing today, Hucka. It was getting cold by then, though, and my back was a bit sore. Back trouble, eh?

Hucka D.:

There’s worse trouble. Truck gives you freedom. Keep the truck route.

bb:

Thanks.

Hucka D.:

What did you think of WH X-ing?

bb:

Well, The Emerald hasn’t grown back yet. Interesting to see when that takes place.

Hucka D.:

Soon[ obviously].

bb:

Green Turtle formation still there. Soon I’ll recreate the Thinking Path or Thinking Loop — Contemplation Loop I believe I called it[ last summer].

Hucka D.:

Yes. Important.

bb:

And of course I know that former Grey Rock is now Grey Seal, or Grey Rock topped by Seal Stone.

Hucka D.:

Rock has a mate: Stone. Sharron.

bb:

Stone was already there.

Hucka D.:

Stone is a fairy[ like Rock]. Sharie?

bb:

Stone…

Hucka D.:

Sharon, Greenburg, Meade. It’s there. Emerald. Moss. Meade. Moss Meade.

bb:

And Whitehead — Silver Technological Institute [ STI].

Hucka D.:

And Edward. Stone. Edward Stone.

bb:

Is Edward Stone the Green Turtle?

Hucka D.:

No [ as you’ve guessed].

bb:

One of my missions…

Hucka D.:

One of your missions is to figure out which stone is Edward’s stone or Edward Stone. The Green Turtle indicates that it must be nearby. Meeting of Whitehead and Little Whitehead is a possibility or clue.

bb:

Edward Stone is Emerald City. Maybe Edward Stone was moved.

Hucka D.:

Yes (!)

bb:

Someone put that rock on top of Grey Rock. Getting a few chills.

Hucka D.:

More chills[ are needed].

bb:

Seal Stone is Edward Stone?

[no answer]

bb:

What of the 4 Sticks area? Entered by Big Log[ traditionally].

Hucka D.:

More collages are needed. Don’t stop.

bb:

Nah, I think it’s over, Hucka D. [ the Falmouth collage series — 42 collages (!)]

Hucka D.:

Don’t count, just do.

bb:

Then maybe Roll is with Rock in town.

Hucka D.:

Yes again (!)

bb:

Where do or can you roll a rock?

Hucka D.:

Across Big Log.

Out and about

Picture of a Sharieland rock from November, just north of Head Line.

An upright picture Edna and I came home to after work one day. I don’t think the cats could have set this up, not having opposable thumbs and all. In googling my old schoolmate whose picture is involved, found out her mother died the same day as another schoolmate’s father who I also had a picture of in the same pack. Later I identified this trickery with The Mad, Merry Pranks of Uncle Joe and Aunt Zoe, coming soon to a bookstore near you.

IMG_0121smaller

De-energized Supersity sacred hoop, also recently mentioned here in the Frank and Herman, Einstein! Blog.

IMG_0123smaller

A couple of days ago I also re-visited Falmouth in Frank Park.

IMG_0128smaller

Meanwhile at Whitehead Crossing in the same park, reincarnated Uncle Joe and Aunt Zoe, now half bee/ half human twins themselves, lead a new gang of toy avatars to the town’s south entrance. Name? The Strange Gang, I believe.

IMG_0131smaller

IMG_0133smaller

Lazy Sideburn Man — or perhaps it is his twin sister Daisy — desires entrance as well. He wishes to be glued together for resurrection. Although he appears joined up from his former dismemberment at Heart Lake, it’s only the coordinated pushings and shovings of the accompanying ninjas that create this illusion. If they relaxed these efforts, he’d fall to pieces.

IMG_0138smaller

Albino Turtle has heard about her larger cousin Green Turtle of the town and wishes to meet up. Her closest companion Satan Eyes has other plans. Shine Devil sticks close to him, not wanting to let a mortal enemy out of his sight. Chipper “Chippy” Chimpmunch is on the lookout for friendly squirrels. Zoe waves merrily to a wind blown oak leaf. Much more could be said here.

IMG_0140smaller

Yet the Strange Gang would be denied entrance to Whitehead Crossing by the blocking Fourth Stick, also the largest. Karma is a hard thing to erase.

IMG_0155smaller

I pack the cold, disappointed avatars back into my satchel and return them to my house.

Thoughts

Head’n to Charleston tomorrow. Always great fun. Thoughts before leaving: Will probably take a number of blog ring binders with me. 🙂 Thinking of the inevitable end of VWX Town, which has existed almost 2 months now, a long time for a virtual town for me without the word Pietmond in its name. Will it be as early as September? Heterocera’s The Diagonal is admittedly a very exciting concept, and seems to have greater potential beyond what I’ve found so far. The Church of The Diagonal connects it directly with the pulse of VWX Town. But I’ll also be out in the woods a lot even in Sep. and especially Oct. That will be my main focus. Drawbacks to destroying VWX Town: As I’m reading things, and as I’ve mentioned before on this blog, the possibility to create a town in larger than a 8704 space without jumping up to the next Linden tier payment (40 US dollars to 75 US dollars) has greatly narrowed in the past year, as the rules of Linden land abandonment have changed and the number of mainland parcels for sale has greatly shrunk, shooting up real estate prices and obviously causing problems for my regular rental businesses such as Lama Estates. I was very lucky to even have set up VWX Town in the first place, which now covers 13312 square meters, and also has some add on real estate components, as one could put it. I actually have what is in effect a second avatar resident of the town, even, who has contributed to its skyline with a conglomerate freebie structure of her own. In effect, the town almost covers 1/4th of a sim, which is fairly extensive and probably matches or surpasses even the largest expansions of Old Pietmond. So back to the question: How long will VWX Town last? If I can get past Sep. and Oct. its existence could possibly extend even into Jan. or Feb. In other words, it could come up to the level of Old Pietmond status, if so. I’m having trouble envisioning that, and it would mean putting out about 300 dollars for land expenses from Sep. – Jan. If I just keep my Lama rental land in Philudoria, that would be reduced to about 60 dollars, a savings of around 250 dollars. I want to keep a land presence in SL, and the 60 dollars is quite reasonable for this period of time. But let’s think this through — *eventually* I’m gonna buy a bigger chunk of land in Second Life if I give up VWX Town in Sep., which will most likely cost me about 20-30 more dollars upon purchase, subtracting the tier payments. I’ve already paid for the Philudoria property. Plus there’s the problem of timing the land purchase to maximize my tier value, which I was able to accomplish with VWX Town. Then if I buy property in another place later on, it’s probably not going to be on as cool of land as my present burg, with its connection to the Heterocera Diagonal, prox. to the glorious VHC Town, and so forth. And one needs artistic hobbies; I don’t pay anything for exploring Frank and Herman Parks except for the gas to get there and the inevitable car repairs of the Frank_and_Hermanmobile (1999 Honda Civic). And it seems like when I shift my regular SL purchases over to another art venture — think specifically of buying a Lionel train set last spring — it doesn’t seem to give me as much immediate pleasure for certain. Long term may be a different case. The money I sink into Second Life does not get me any tangible products such as train track, which I can still use, say, 10 or 20 years down the road. Hmmm.

Hucka D.:

Keep VWX Town. I’ll pay the bills through January.

bb:

Thanks Hucka D. But you don’t really have any money you can give me, you know. It’s all out of my pocket, me as baker b.

Hucka D.:

Not really. I can give you money. I gave you money for travel this summer.

bb:

Hmmm (again). What is the importance of hanging on to VWX Town?

Hucka D.:

You just listed them above — in this blog post. We are in a blog post aren’t we?

bb:

This time. Do *you* — well, you just said I should hold on to it. Maybe we should have a town meeting. Who will represent Northside?

Hucka D.:

Casey The Alien of course. He’s up and about now after his resurrection. He lives in the Cape Map cottage on the edge of Northside. Has a bed upstairs. You should invite him over for tea.

bb:

Tea with baker b. Or Baker Bloch.

Hucka D.:

Sure. He’s the one you need to talk to the most now. He can communicate to you in Second Life[ now].

CTA:

Hi. Thanks for inviting me over for tea (smiles).

bb:

Hi CTA. Welcome to Nowheresville.

CTA:

Does seem a little bare. I appear to be sitting in mid air. Oh look, over there’s a painting. Let’s go take a look.

(all walk to the painting that has manifested on a far wall, next to the window)

bb: (looking):

Landscape. I like landscapes.

CTA:

It’s the Cliffs of Dundee, I assume. I was there.

Hucka D.:

Me too.

CTA:

We’re there now, in fact.
