New Pietmond…

… suddenly becomes a contrast of extreme height…

Snapshot7279_001

… and depth.

“It is as it has to be developing. Good night baker b.”

bb:

Hi Hucka D. I’ve been thinking about your role in the blog.

Hucka D.:

I know… sacked once more.

bb:

No, not really at all.

Hucka D.:

Cut back to part time; loss of me benefits. I know. Been there.

bb:

No. I’m just wondering…

Hucka D.:

Well I’ll find another job if so. I’m warning you. You better think about what you have and start respecting it more.

bb:

Okay.

Hucka D.:

What do you have? you’re asking yourself right now most likely.

bb:

Not…

Hucka D.:

You have a friend. You have someone to talk to in the middle of the night when no-one is around and you need information and information fast. Like tonight. Ask your pertinent questions.

bb:

Ahem. [New] Pietmond has suddenly become a city of extreme height and depth.

Hucka D.:

As it should be. As it is. As it is so.

bb:

Humble or relatively humble but full of meaning temple at the bottom of the sinkhole… skyscrapers, one almost impossibly high (!), all around. And the X-Spot Gallery bridging the two as it were, as it is.

Hucka D.:

As it should be and is and was and will be. All past present future. Mixed up.

bb:

What do thse 2 realms, these opposite realms, mean?

Hucka D.:

You need a center. You worry about balance and probably rightly so, although things are getting better. Balance, baker b. Balance.

bb:

Klutzy Kamper had his center… has his center, for he’s still around of course. Living, I mean.

Hucka D.:

He was and is and will be Superman.

bb:

My center seems to be the Big E or Big Schwa, take your pick.

Hucka D.:

Yes. The Bottle.

bb:

The Bottle at Kentucky is truly this Big E shattered?

Hucka D.:

Yes. Terrarium. Was key. Is and will be key.

Snapshot7279_004

bb:

I must obviously think of Kentucky and the Bee Line once more, then.

Hucka D.:

End.

Middle Trident Stream 02

Nice shot of First Cascade, as we’ll call it, described in Middle Trident Stream 01.

IMG_0022smaller

And here’s Second Cascade from a similar angle, with the actual cascade in this case hidden or tucked within a diagonal fissure. Although it doesn’t surfacely appear as impressive as First Cascade from these photos, it’s actually considerably larger, and probably the most significant and important of the 4 cascades as a whole. This day, I decided not to re-visit the lower 2 of the 4 in this series.

STA_0029smaller

Small pool at the bottom of 2nd Cascade, not as impressive as the one that 1st Cascade empties into.

STA_0031smallest

Rock pilings at the bottom that seem to indicate past human intervention. Again I must reinforce we are in a quite remote area of Frank and Herman Parks, perhaps the most remote taken as a whole. I doubt these cascades have received many human visitors. Which makes these rock pilings more curious.

IMG_0033smallest

We now move to a totally new find, a previously unknown tributary or second fork of Middle Trident Creek I call the Foreign One or perhaps The Arab or simply The Fourth. It may represent the most remote stream in the parks, and a source of extreme mysteries. This stream meets up with Middle Trident Ck. not far upstream from The Cascades. The below picture is of a small drop of water defined by a quartz veined rock at the bottom.

IMG_0039smallest

This larger drop is a couple 100 feet more upstream, and is also highlighted by rocks with prominent quartz veins. I believe I’ll call it Quartz Cascade, and I was originally tempted to name the involved stream itself Quartz Creek before just then settling on Foreign One (or Arab or Fourth). In total, I hiked several football fields worth of length up Foreign One, following its siren lure and then breaking the trance luckily before it was too late. The trip down was rougher than expected, as is always the case when following upstream siren lures. I should know better by now. But I’m here, writing these words, back safe in Blue Mountain with my wife and cats and comfortable house and job. I made it back.

Middle Trident Stream 01

This amazing hike unfurled several weeks back. Apologies for the delay in generating the text for the photos here. On this weekend I decided to try out a section of a popular local trail that I usually don’t hike. The following weekend, I would return to the same section, but from the opposite direction, and meeting up basically where I ended this first excursion, as it turned out. But the trail is not the big story here, but off-trail excursions leading from it. The first major find was a flat ridge area — a platform as I have come to call them recently — that could be yet another site for a future campground or art event of some sort. The trail I mentioned before crosses this platform on its southern side, not far from where it starts to flatten out during its projection away from a parent mountain. Not unexpectedly, the northern end of the platform ends in steep descents on all remaining sides, but with only the western side relatively free of brush and rhododendron, or at least free enough to walk down to the rushing creek below. The creek is what I call Middle Trident, and as the name implies, there appears to be 3 streams of roughly the same size that gush from the extreme western slops of Frank Park, making their way down to a common flow. The streams fan out below this commonality, roughly forming the shape of a downward pointing 3 pronged trident or head of such, as classically associated with the Roman God Neptune. The names Lower Trident, Middle Trident and Upper Trident for these streams, north to south, is made more apt by the fact that tributaries merging into a single stream are often called prongs. This general area is possibly the wildest and most remote part of Frank and Herman Parks as a whole.

The picture below represents interesting fungi found on Middle Trident Creek, shortly before a sharp descent in 4 distinct drops or cascades. Collectively this descent represents one of the largest drops of water in Frank and Herman Parks. A truly amazing place.

IMG_0003smaller

This is not one of the 4 cascades just brought up, but a smaller falls just upstream, and about at the same location as the fungi pictured before it.

IMG_0005smallest

IMG_0007smallest

Here we have the first of the 4 major cascades, looking down from a perch near the top to a large pool dividing this from the next drop in the series just downstream.

IMG_0010smaller

And here is a view from the top of the second and probably largest cascade. Difficult to capture in a photo how impressive these cascades are in person.

“So…

… now you know how Gene Fade got into movie making baker b. Congrats!”

bb:

Thanks for that Hucka D. So they started out as Christmas shorts, then progressed to movie parodies, and then when he tried to return to the shorts and spice them up a bit, it didn’t work out. Divorce.

Hucka D.:

Divorce. From Sybil… you got her name wrong. They could have been an Alfred and Alma[ Hitchcock] kind of team, writing and directing and producing movies together. Oh the movies were a hit, and most of the audience was Mmmmmmm’s themselves. Imagine the thrill of one of their own kind making it big on the big screen, or as big as they thought they ever would. Then along comes superstar Salad Bar Jack. You just tripped over him when you got up a moment ago. He’s front and center now.

bb:

So… what I’ve been doing[ with these Jibjab videos] is filling in the backstory for Gene Fade. He had to become second banana to Salad Bar Jack after this. The blue haired women were gone from his life… Sybil and the other one.

Hucka D.:

That’s just Sybil again in her youngers day. A beaut don’t you think?

bb:

Different for sure!

Hucka D.:

It didn’t help that most of the paying audience were Mmmmmm’s.

bb:

I’m going to pull up the link in the old blog, Hucka D., the one about Gene Fade wanting to start up his film production company once more. Except when writing it last spring I didn’t realize he was starting something up again instead of just starting it up period. That part was lost on me.

Hucka D.:

You know how far he could take his first company. Absorbed, then… waiting around for something bigger to step in and take over. Certainly the Salad Bar Jack movies were bigger. Big big. Fade couldn’t step outside the Christmas theme.

bb:

And we now have some new avatars to deal with (!) Let’s see, 4 Santa ornaments and 3 dolls for now. And the blue haired women, which I guess are avatars of some kind. Then the short with Baker Bloch and Baker Blinker was real cute, Hucka. So should there be a special category for Christmas toy avatars?

Hucka D.:

Yes! Gene Fade and Mossmen in general and also the Mmmmmm’s escaped that stereotyping path, although that was their origin as well. But Fade, to his great credit, took the first step beyond. Then Salad Bar Jack, a true genius as well and a huckster deluxe, took it much further.

bb:

I heard a rumor that one of the Salad Bar Jack movies ends in the Records Center, Hucka D. A room full of endless records.

December 2012, Weekend 02

Sorry… a lot of time has passed since I took this hike; almost a month.

Below we have a sad story: the Red Queen hemlock next to TILE Creek in Herman Park, mentioned in several Baker Blinker Blog posts, has fallen down. Compare with a picture here.

IMG_0001smaller

A beautiful Frank Park meadow close to Cache Creek.

IMG_0013smaller

There’s an especially interesting, narrow ridge just off its upper end terminating in a rock face. I promise to come back soon for more photos.

IMG_0014smaller

Moving about a mile or 2 west in Frank Park, we return to Gene Fade’s Mountain for more exploring. The big find of the day, as I recall, are some quite large rocks positioned in the middle of two batches I’d already known about. Again, I don’t have any proper names for these places yet, and once again I’ll get back here soon enough I’m sure. More stories then.

IMG_0028smallest

IMG_0032smallest

In the distance of the below picture we have what I believe is a icosahedron shaped tent, most likely set up for deer hunting purposes. This lies outside the borders of Frank Park, but too close for comfort still.

Another pic pertaining to the 80 fence post artwork discovered in November.

O… M… G….

This is something that blew my mind. Remember all that talk about Michael Too in this new blog and also the Baker Blinker Blog? We’ll he just up and disappeared last year, and I went around coffee shops and such, asking where he was. He lived in the woods of both Frank and Herman Parks (2 different sites I stumbled upon at different times), and also created what I call the Dongoba stone temples beside the Norris stream, I believe, a very significant find for me last Fall. I mean, I’ve talked about him a *lot* in these blogs the past year and a half.

Just checked Yahoo news and this story came up at the top of the page. This is most definitely the same guy! SHOCKERS! No question about the identity, because the name of my Michael was Michael Smith as well, and… well, it’s *him*.

http://news.yahoo.com/mans-home-14-foot-canoe-boston-harbor-072630143.html

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this later.

SHOCK.

The…

… emptying of the X-Spot Gallery will come soon, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Not soon enough.

bb:

Oh really?

Hucka D.:

Knock wishes to talk.

Knock:

I see you found “Imaginary Man”. I am.

bb:

Very nice song, Knock.

Knock:

We must approach the table soon. Can you see?

bb:

Not sure.

Knock:

You saw me inside the 3333 circle. In the future. We will walk together more there. Beyond the Red 7.*

bb:

I think you also like the Residents… secretly.

Knock:

I like them because they help defuse the Beatles hoax… legend I mean (smiles).

bb:

Do you know the mystery of the Paul is Dead hoax?

Knock:

The solution you mean? It’s within the Village Green.

—–

bb:

What is the 3333?

Knock:

The future. Future City future.

Hucka D.:

He[ Knock] will return. He will be your Aid. Slowly you will move toward the center, toward the cairn. He will enter and you will not. Then you will see. 4th.

* Knock is referencing my experience walking around the Supersity sacred hoop this past Sunday, interesting for certain. I’ve been dwelling on some work related stuff recently after hours, and not in an altogether good way. I was dwelling when I visited the hoop for instance. I decided to start chanting 2233 while walking clockwise just outside the rock circle of the hoop in an attempt to mute these chains of thoughts. I shortly got the impression that 2233 was opening up the past inside the hoop or circle. 2233 was the Baker Blinker Blog in the past now (this blog contains exactly 2233 posts), and through it, toward the center, I could see further into the past. In a way the central cairn is 1Pink, the largest carcass. So then I reversed my direction around the sacred hoop and instead chanted 3333. My impression is that this opened the future, in correspondence with me calling this place the Future City beforehand. The future is the Frank and Herman Einstein Blog beyond the Baker Blinker Blog, beyond the 2233. The circle of rocks represents at least the beginning posts of the blog, in line with the 80 post piece of art found nearby. The center of the *3333* circle is probably death or exit, but more than that — the totality of the soul in the 4 directions. It is the endpoint of the soul itself. So the past leads to condensing the energy of the totality into a microcosm, which is the Baker Blinker Blog; which is Second Life as well. 3333 is beyond the microcosm and into the Greater Whole. The circumference of rocks around the cairn is the *present*… I am in the Frank and Herman Einstein Blog now but it has just begun, really. The whole 2233-3333 walk reminded me of a figure 8, with the upper circle the past and the lower circle the future. But it’s also a kind of mobius figure 8 if so. You need both past (where you came from) and future (where you’re going), but it’s all viewed from the perspective of the present — where you are standing or walking or whatever *right now*.

Mobius-8

Moss SoSo

Write more about the mossman’s Rock Gods; Rubidoo Creek; Karoz’s failed mission to safely explore Grandfather Mtn. for the mossmen. Instead Karoz became trapped inside the Circle of the Big Schwa, thinking that Chilbo was his original hometown instead of the (true) Norum, and when Chilbo was “merely” Chilbol and secondary in importance. This is because he totally bought into the LL grid (Linden Lab grid) when it came to Norum, absorbing or de-energizing the mission of Sapphire as resonating with Karoz. Sapphire knew Karoz’s destiny with Granddaddy. Karoz became absorbed into His Second Lyfe. He became functionally autistic (theory). Trapped inside the Big Schwa’s shadow. Dark Side. Child-like, and unable, for example, to enter the bigger boy world of Nowtown and Zen City with Baker Bloch. Baker Bloch could see both sides of the Big E/Schwa originating in the little eschwa of Chilbo. He could see all the way to SID’s 1st Oz, where a movie defines a carcass and not an album. This is an enlarged perspective. This is taking in all of Jeogeot, and not just the Norum Circle.

But wait. Perhaps the domination of the Big Schwa is the correct perspective. Perhaps the expansion of Karoz’s essence beyond the Circle of Norum led to the entrapment in His Second Lyfe instead. He forgot about Earth; he forgot about Granddaddy and his special special mission there. He thought he was from Chilbo — he *bought* into the idea of the LL taking over the grid already in place. With LL came Peter, and for a time Karoz bonded with Peter instead of Sapphire, who had somehow left the picture as it were. Aquamarine (precious as usual) to Aqua Teen/Rebel. Grassy Noll also made his SL appearance at this point. Or perhaps disappearance. Grassy spoke to Karoz of his mission on Grandaddy Mtn. Grassy was[ an avatar of] Gene Fade?? If so, Grassy went away with the coming of the LL Grid, just as Grassy became the obsolete southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail after the 1930 move to Mt. Oglethorpe, a move strongly assoc. now with the 1930 discovery of Pluto.

Who gave Karoz his fuchsia diamond, which he appears to have had as a child or perhaps when he became a teenager? Was it Sapphire — a coming of age gift? Did he really throw the 32 prim diamond into the Inland Sea (later: the Korean Channel or the Gulf of Jeogeot)? Maybe he saw the synchronicity of 32 prims — 32 sims (of the channel). Became a devotee of TILE because of this. I think he did fall into a portal connecting Jeogeot with Maebaleia, and explored Crabwoo and realized its intimate connection with Chilbo. Later, more portals would connect continents of the east and west — Ratcliff Court on Heterocera forming a link with Bracket/Magicland in the Comma Islands of the Corsica continent, and actually several more between Heterocera and Corsica. Likewise Sansara the original SL/LL grid continent, seems to have more direct connections with Nautilus between Corsica to the north and Maebaleia to the south. A theory of these connections, then:

Heterocera — Corsica
Sansara — Nautilus
Jeogeot — Maebaleia.

And there are other holes as well, like between the Linden Memorial Island and Comma Archipelago of Azure Islands.

Specifics:

Jeogeot — Maebaleia:

Chilbo(l) — Crabwoo
general shape — general shape (rotated 180 degrees; same base grid for each)
Korean Channel — Blue Feather Sea (E back into e)
Jeogeot Rabbit Hole — Maebaleia Rabbit Hole (Ulyanovsk Oblast)
Sunklands — Maebalea Lake District

Sansara — Nautilus:

DaBoom as original LindenLab sim — Ratzenburger as orig. Lemon Lab sim
Old sims — Yd Island sims
Next level of sims — Yd Island expands to Lower Austra (symbolic 1 to symbolic 2)

Heterocera — Corsica:

HEC Canyon — Valley of Nye (Martian contact)
Ratcliff — Bracket/Magicland (giant hole itself; expansion of Rabbit Hole mentioned above)
Rubi Forest — Corsica Island Forest

Gaeta?

Azure Islands?

Otherland?

—–

Lemon Lab direction:

Ratzenburger is original sim, and Yd Island original defined geographic area. Yd Island may parallel LindenWorld, before it became Second Life between the transition from Alpha to Beta stages. LindenWorld started to be built in 2001. Like LindenWorld, technically, Yd Island was not originally a part of Second Life (since like LindenWorld, it is pre-SL or before the Second Life name was applied to the grid). If so, then Lower Austra is like Alpha shifted to Beta but retaining Alpha as well. We know this through Routes 13 and 14’s representation in the Wizard Cube.

—–

So let’s talk of St. Nick of Big Sink, Sunklands. St. Nick will rewrite my Notebook I and include a part 2 involving Sharon, which he wished to be independent of Wazob. He talks at length of “avatar ensoulment”. Discovery of the Glopmen civlization in Wazob history was big news. St. Nick was involved in paralleling Jeogeot with Wazob. Thought Sunklands could be *directly* linked w/ Sharon to once more make it independent of Wazob, and its decision to exclude avatar ensoulment as a doctrine.

I saw a chance to latch onto a different world and I entered the door. I was invited by Sharon, the Moon of Pluto. For she is a real entity, an ensouled avatar. She probably called herself Sharon after this moon, although a good friend of mine speculated that, although seemingly impossible, the moon was named after her. Sharon had to have a specially built enclosure in order to exist in Britonia. She could be many places at once. One time she told me the secrets to the cube. Our computers, based on black and white, were not *alive*, and were inferior, vastly so, to the living ones from her moon planet. They thought in color: red, green, blue. Their minds were diamonds and not atall dirty.
