“I gave him this novel.”

“Addie next to Good Grief. Sinclair nearby,” he said, pointing.

“Eastport,” I added, pointing as well. “Boundary.”

(flips pages)

“But of course this is the one I’m most interesting in,” I said. I pointed again. “Foote”, I said, drawing the magnification out. “Grace, Glen Allan, Panther Burn.” “Foote,” I reinforced, “Then Heads on the other side.”

He looked with me. I also thought of the lyrics, “from my head down to my toes,” as 2 of the 4 Beatles — John and Paul perhaps meaningfully — fall flat, head and feet on same level, as in a corpse.

“Helm may also refer to the helm of a ship,” I said, still looking at the northern part of the same county. “This is the body of Addie.”

“Or someone at the helm,” Hucka Doobie chipped in. “A boss, a captain.”

“Helm could also refer to helmet.”

“Or helmets. Helmets cover heads, like in a fireman’s helmet. Like in a football helmet.”

“Here?” he asked. It was a sly observation by him concerning me.

collage61part02c

“What do you think?” I replied.

“Feet (pointing)… death… red ruby slippers. red fireman’s helmet. Fits (!)”

How observant, I thought. Like talking to myself. I smiled.

“Well, maybe the big green lined log of the picture is the Mississippi River itself… herself. Miss Tippy.

He kept looking at the picture, and then started pointing once more. “Dorothy has no bottom of her legs, donated to Day Ravies.”

“He might still show up,” I added hopefully but doubtfully at the same time.

“Elton also has ruby slippers or ruby sparkly shoes,” Hucka Doobie observed.

“They cross a perpendicular log to the green lined log,” Roger tacked on. “Maybe a tributary of the Mighty Mississippi?”

“Maybe all three logs — main logs of the picture — are representations of the Mississippi. Fireman Peanut balances on the one further back. Ruby slippered Day Ravies is crushed by the one perpendicular to the other two, and the Elton John cross, again in ruby slippers the 3rd more in the foreground. The same one that cuts off or obscures Dorothy’s own slippered feet.”

“Elton is certainly in better shape than Day Ravies here. He is able to cross atop the log. It acts as no real obstacle in his journey. Peanut also seems content, perched upon a parallel log in the background. His head is covered with a red helmet, but he has no feet. Elton and Dorothy provide his feet.”

“It’s Peanut’s Big Adventure after all,” Hucka Doobie chimed in. “Part Deu.”

“Two.” Roger shrugged at me.

“Everyone has only one head but also almost everyone has 2 feet and not just a foot. Foote.”

I know…

… that the man or men who like to be called Rogers Pine Ridge will arrive at our humble abode the first of next month. Which one it will be I have no idea, and perhaps it’s like schrodinger’s cat. Only when I open the door to greet him will one or the other manifest in our reality. That’s fine; I have things, I believe, to talk to both about. I’ve asked Hucka Doobie to join me that night.

“I have a feeling they don’t entirely like each other, Hucka D.”

Hucka D.:

One will bait the other just like in SID’s 1st Oz. One will be forced to listen to the other, like a series of inevitable and unchangeable tiles one stacked upon another. 1 and 2 are discarded up front, starting us with 3. Roger will ask why? Why start with 3 and then use *everything* from then on? We’ll have to talk of Baker’s Creek, Mississippi, baker b. That’s the Body of Waters. I’ll install a secret microphone on the couch so we’ll catch everything. Who’s Emily? (etc.)

Gilligan’s Island was the scene of a radioactive scare in the 1960s.

What portals are opening up even now?

This might have to do with 4orrin1.

I haven’t really done any work on The Shining since early February, when all that energy seemingly was incoporated or summarized in the Shining Pyramid of Sgt. Pepper — the Shining Pepper Project.

The design consists of a white crescent with four white stars inside of a green triangle. The flag has four stripes, representing four islands of the nation: yellow is for Mohéli, white is for Mayotte (claimed by Comoros but administered by France), red is for Anjouan, and blue is for Grande Comore. The star and crescent symbol stands for Islam, which is the nation’s major religion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coahoma_County,_Mississippi

Clarksdale is now the largest and most important city in the county, and was named for John Clark, a brother-in-law of Governor James L. Alcorn, whose home, Eagle’s Nest, was in this county.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Alcorn

James Alcorn was elected by the Republicans as governor in 1869, serving, as Governor of Mississippi from 1870 to 1871. As a modernizer, he appointed many like-minded former Whigs, even if they were now Democrats. He strongly supported education, including public schools for blacks only, and a new college for them, now known as Alcorn State University.

Although a former slaveholder, he characterized slavery as “a cancer upon the body of the Nation” and expressed the gratification which he and many other Southerners felt over its destruction.[5]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friars_Point,_Mississippi

Friars Point is one of two hypothesized locations where Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto may have crossed the Mississippi River (the other is Commerce, Mississippi).[1]

The town was founded in 1836 and originally called “Farrar’s Point”. When the town incorporated in 1852, its name was changed to “Friar’s Point” to honor Robert Friar, an early settler, legislator, and businessman who sold fuel to passing steamboats. In 1850, the county seat was moved from the nearby town of Delta to Friars Point.[2][3]

Strategically situated at a bend in the Mississippi River, Friars Point flourished before the Civil War as the largest shipping center for cotton south of Memphis.[4]

Friars Point was also home to Confederate Brigadier General James L. Alcorn, whose grave and former plantation, Eagles Nest, are located a short distance east of the town.[7] Alcorn turned from Whig to Republican after the war, and went on to become Governor with the support of the large number of carpetbaggers who had settled in Friars Point.[4]

Charles Lindbergh ran out of gas while flying his plane over Friars Point in 1924, and landed at a place he later called “The Haunted House”.[5][6]

As nearby Clarksdale grew in population and influence, it challenged Friars Point’s hold on the county government. In 1892, Coahoma County was divided into two jurisdictions, one going to Friars Point and the other to Clarksdale. In 1930, the county seat was given exclusively to Clarksdale. Historian Lawrence J. Nelson wrote that by that point, “Friars Point had receded into a sleepy river community.”[4]

Time Magazine wrote in 2013:

Once a thriving port town and the county seat, economic decline has left Friars Point with a lone elementary school, a few churches, a city hall, a post office, a small general store, a museum that opens only sporadically, a nightclub called Show T Boat where a man was shot to death in 2011, and a bank. The town no longer has a doctor or health clinic, a drug store, a sit-down restaurant, a recreational center, a library, or any businesses to speak of. Kids travel 15 miles to Clarksdale for junior and senior high school.[9]

Muddy Waters said the only time he saw Robert Johnson play was on the front porch of Hirsberg’s Drugstore in Friars Point. A crowd had gathered around Johnson, who was playing ferociously. “I stopped and peeked over,” said Waters, “and then I left because he was a dangerous man.”[10][11] In a 1937 recording, Johnson sang, “Just come on back to Friars Point, mama, and barrelhouse all night long.”[12] In Johnson’s Traveling Riverside Blues he sang, “I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee, but my Friar’s Point rider, now, hops all over me.”[13]

Friars Point has been written about by both William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams. At various times, both writers had vacationed at Uncle Henry’s Inn on nearby Moon Lake.

Notable people:

Conway Twitty – country music singer who once held the record for having the most number-one-hit singles.[7]

Deupree’s Historic Homes: Eagle’s Nest

Eagle’s Nest

The home of James L. Alcorn, in Coahoma county, received its name in a most natural way; an eagle had built her nest for many years in a large cottonwood tree in a field adjoining the park which surrounds the residence. In alloting work to the plantation laborers the supervisor spoke of it as the Eagle-nest field, thus the plantation and the home became known as “Eagle’s Nest.” There are several nests of these birds in the cypress brakes just back of the buildings.

The home is a large modern frame structure. The lumber was cut from the forests on the plantation, and dressed by hand under the supervision of Gen. Alcorn. The house has five wide halls, twenty-two large, high ceiled rooms, made home-like and cheerful by ingle-nooks, cozy corners and numerous broad windows. Three bay windows open on the blue waters of the lake on which the home fronts. Broad verandas extend around three sides of the house; the whole surmounted by an observatory commanding a view of beautiful Swan lake, the park, and the broad fields of corn and cotton, the whole making a pictures never surpassed in natural beauty. Mrs. Alcorn tells the following interesting story as to the way the lake received its name:

“In the early days it was a feeding ground for numbers of wild swans. A huntsman on one occasion shot, and broke the wing of one of these graceful birds. It could never again leave the lake; year after year it welcomed the coming of its fellows with glad cries, and pined in sorrow when they plumed their broad wings and took flight for new feeding grounds; it was pitiable to see its efforts to follow. Since then the pretty sheet of water has been called Swan’s Lake. Upon the shore of this lake stands the tree in which the great eagle mentioned above built her nest. She showed both judgment and taste in the selection of a home; for the waters of the lake furnished an abundance of food for her young, and the view is one of unsurpassed beauty.”

The axmen were directed to leave that tree untouched when the field was enlarged by clearing the southern part of the park; but the careless, thoughtless, destroyer of the forest, regardless of orders belted this monarch of ages. The grounds immediately about the house are shaded by large oak, magnolia, holly, and varnish trees. The gardens are gorgeous with bloom from the coming of the dainty snowdrop and purple violet of spring to the asters of the late autumn. In the park, near the southern limit, is a large Indian mound, and on this mound sleeps James L. Alcorn, his grave marked by a marble statue of himself. Near by rest the remains of four sons. Two died in defense of their home and country. Major Alcorn, the eldest, was as brave and true a soldier as ever went to the front of battle. Henry, the second son, then a lad of seventeen years, captured and taken to Camp Chase, contracted typhoid fever and died on the way home an exchanged prisoner, and now sleeps beside his father on the old Indian mound. The wide halls and lofty rooms of this stately home that once echoed to the tread of busy feet, are now silent, and deserted by all save the widowed mother.

Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. VI (1902), pp. 249-250.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Lake,_Mississippi

Tennessee Williams visited Moon Lake Casino, and referred to it in all but two of his plays.

Yes, the three of us drove out to Moon Lake Casino, very drunk and laughing all the way.
—Blanche DuBois, A Streetcar Named Desire

William Faulkner also visited the place, and referred to it in one of his novels as “Moon Lake Hotel.”

Question: Is the Fal Mouth Moon (gallery) a direct relative of this Moon Lake Hotel? Remember that it served as a conduit to VWX Town’s The Moon during its Rubi incarnation. Falmouth Hotel is also an inworld famous haunted spot in Bay City.
I believe Moon Lake refers to the American Moon Landing, because the largest island of the lake is Texas (Misson Control location) and the other large island is Alcorn Island, named for James Alcorn of Eagle’s Landing. Remember “The Eagle has landed”.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Eagle%20has%20Landed

part of speech: idiom

Originally used by Neil Armstrong when the first man-made craft (the “Eagle”) landed on the moon, now used to indicate the completion of a “mission objective”.
1. Neil Armstrong: Houston, the Eagle has landed.

2. Criminal #1: Are you inside?
Criminal #2: The Eagle has landed.

3. Jim: So, did you sleep with Allison yet?
Tim: Dude, the Eagle has landed.

“Beemen”

—–

bb:

Hucka D., let’s talk about “Beemen”.

Hucka D.:

Let’s talk about both. Then let’s talk about me, The Bee.

bb:

Okay.

Hucka D.:

Tired, aren’t you.

bb:

Exhausted, apparently.

Hucka D.:

We’ll there’s no excuse[ for working]. Have you got your peepers open?

bb;

Guess so.

Hucka D.:

I’ll begin, then. You can snooze a bit when I’m talking if you wish.

bb:

Wish that were possible!

Hucka D.:

It can be. It probably is. Beemen is an extension of “Rescue Ship” coming immediately before it. What is the ship? It appears to be the Pieland Second Lyfe island a bit out in the ocean. Are you asleep?

bb:

No.

Hucka D.:

… out in the ocean with the cat-turtle. The cat-turtle is related to the Green Turtle of Little Whitehead, which has now moved through the time/space portal to Monhegan Island, Maine. This is the Little Whitehead portal. Some art has moved to the location as well — by a group called Little Whitehead. This includes the floating, apparently dead red and blue fellow, and also the group of people staring at the far cliff. That far cliff is Whitehead; the body floats off Little Whitehead. The red and blue man oppositions the Green Turtle on the rocks to the left. The red and blue man didn’t make it to Little Whitehead, really, even though he was created by Little Whitehead. The red and blue fellow is like the red and blue robots surrounding Seven Stones just beside Green Turtle here — we’re still on “Rescue Ship”.

bb:

The red and blue robots can’t make a proper, true animation with each other, as I’ve theorized about before. They oppose each other instead, butt heads and so forth.

Hucka D.:

They are not a true Allen Knob. This is a past war between Whitehead Crossing and NORRIS. Who triumphed? Who ever triumphs in a war? Soon civilizations will fall anyway, whether victors or not. Think of the Anglo-Saxons.

bb (looking):

4 Sticks Dude’s cane points to the top of the rocks; it’s positioned on the rocks, I suppose. And he stands on a branch projecting out from the tree that forms the largest Little Whitehead bridge in Whitehead Crossing.

Hucka D.:

The only true bridge[ now].

bb:

But now the bridge — in this collage — leads to Maine and its fairy laden Monhegan Island. This is the portal you speak of.

Hucka D.:

This is the portal.

bb:

Green Turtle seems to be a pivot between realities.

Hucka D.:

Yes!

bb:

It appears in Little Whitehead, obviously. And it also appears or can appear on Little Whitehead in Maine, on this island.

Hucka D.:

Absolutely. Actually isn’t too hard to do.

bb:

Then in “Beeman,” the following collage, I originally had a giant turtle peering over the rock at the 2 beemen. This represents Green Turtle, which is a rock directly behind the rock pictured in the collage, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Is that the legendary Edward Stone? At last?

bb:

Unsure. But anyway I decided the turtle didn’t fit into the collage, as I kept adding in lego works originally found in “2989” a couple of weeks ago. Or maybe it was just a couple of days back that I created it. So many collages in so short a time (!).

Hucka D.:

54 and counting. You’ll reach 61. The magic number. Then your work will be done.

“We have… 03

“Hucka D., this collage just gets deeper and deeper potentially. First off, the middle of the collage seems to create an animation, since I can’t decide whether to ultimately keep the Green Man and Painting Woman w/ easel within. That’s the first odd thing. But then today, this morning, decided that this middle can be overlapped with the 4 Sticks phenomenon of Maryland/Pennsylvania. If so, the collage acts as a window into GNIRPS, um, a portal. Let me insert the little overlap I came up with. The original discussion of the 4 Sticks MD/PA material is here.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/whitehead-x-ing-notes/

Then I did some editing, reduced the overall picture to 75 percent, and overlapped it in the most logical way I could find with “Rock, His Story.”

collage71base30b

Then I recreated the 4 Sticks in a clean picture.

collage71base19b

A clue for doing this, or a cue I suppose, was that Russell, the child in Up, uses Kevin as stilts in the middle portion of the collage. It was a small, logical jump to incorporating Stiltz, Pennsylvania/Maryland, since I’d already assoc. that town with stilts — up and down sticks as it were. But the cool thing is that you can align the central line, with the upper part at *Sticks* (Pennsylvania), with the central stick of the collage, the one Rock emphasizes by climbing up it, and also, now, acts as a symbol of the Green Lego Man’s spinal chord, it appears. Roller at the bottom then also becomes a stick, but a large one, more commonly called a log, which, because of its breadth, can often *roll*. Roller = green lined log at the bottom of “Rock, His Story”. Hucka D.? Hmm, maybe not awake yet. Anyhoot, then Lineboro is to the left to complete the 4 compass directions. As Kevin is equated with Boss Moss, since both donate one eye to a composite being, then the angular, similarly sized Freakie peaking out from behind the tree to the left would represents his double and opposite, as we’ve already spoken about before. This is Lineboro.

If we simply reverse the collage [and toggle back and forth], more interesting things happen.

collage71base19breversed

The pivot point of the 4 Sticks insert becomes not the center of the lines, but Sticks, Pennsylvania at the top. It waggles around this stable point. The 4 Sticks dude revolving around himself is overlapped with the actual 4 Sticks region of Whitehead X-ing to the right in the original. Dorothy finds an obvious double in Wythe’s Christina, Baker b. coming out of the rocketship overlaps Baker Bloch on the bottle — direct hit there.

—–

Hucka D. (now studying this information as well):

The colorful Kevin bird seems to double for the likewise colorful Contraption behind it. I think it’s a comment on the latter — former to latter. Kevin is a unique, exotic bird. The world at large does not even believe such a bird exists. Yet Charles Muntz has devoted his life to prove otherwise, in his vanity. He wishes to capture Kevin to show the world that he’s not a fraud. Kevin is the Contraption. (pause) Kevin is freaky like Boss Moss, then. 2 Freaks; a composite one freak, each donating an eye. Eye eye. Boss Moss freed from his box existence represents Kevin in the wild, his home, and not captive like Muntz would desire. He’s a Tall Cool One, so another Lead Zeppelin, Robert Plant Variant reference. Nice. Like Big Log, which will come later[ in a later carrcass, Hucka D. probably means here]. Boxed Boss Moss (and by assoc., a captive Kevin) stands for slavery, like in the South below the Mason-Dixon Line in the antebellum times. Opposite of freedom.

—–

“[Elton John’s] Philadelphia Freedom, Hucka D., must represent freedom of the African-American peoples. *This* collage will be in GNIRPS.”

Hucka D.:

Has to be[ now].

bb:

Rock climbing up the stick is like slaves climbing north to freedom. A struggle, sometime Herculean, but ultimately worth it. Climb up!

Hucka D.:

Rock straddles the line. Elton John in Philadelphia Freedom mode assists. Can I be of assistance today?

bb:

4 Sticks dude somehow manipulating the colorful contraption beside Elton probably represents Muntz again and entrapment/slavery. 4 Sticks plays in Carrcass-3 as Kevin escapes Muntz and his dogs, lead by a Black Dog.

“We have… 02

“Dorothy is surrounded by manifestations of the 4 Sticks dude, Hucka D. They appear to revolve around her. This is 4 sticks, because each dude has a single cane or stick. Walking stick, like was in one of the Jasper collages.

Hucka D.:

Several. Thank you for waking me up at such an early hour.

bb:

Well you’re welcome. You always seem to want to be a part of these interpretation posts.

Hucka D.:

I do. But thanks again.

bb:

Right. My feeling I had last night after reviewing what we’d said about the collage [“Rock, His Story”] so far is that Dorothy is cursed somehow — surrounded by a curse. In the primary or original Oz story she also crash lands[ in her aunt and uncle’s farmhouse] in a foreign world. I’ve made that assoc. before. So Rock is her and her is Rock. I wonder if she is already at 4 Sticks, waiting on Rock.

Hucka D.:

She’s not in this story. She’s just a stand in for Rock.

bb:

But[ on the other hand], we have The Emerald as perhaps a final destination, or at least it is in the framework of this collage. The Emerald is front and center. Dorothy and her new friends seeked the Emerald City. The green lined log at the bottom of the collage may stand in for the Yellow Brick Road. They would have quote unquote reassuring green thoughts[ of the Emerald City and gifts to be received there] while journeying down that sometimes dangerous road. Safety and an endpoint was ahead.

Hucka D.:

You mean the big green dude. Well, he *can* remove his head, obviously, and live to tell the tale. So that’s like Brainard from the Wizard of Oz.

bb:

But he’s not called Brainard in the book.

Hucka D.:

I’d check before saying that.

bb:

I don’t have to check, Hucka D. I made the character Brainard up based on the Wizard of Oz and also a map name. Remember?

Hucka D.:

No. [But I’ll take your word for it for now]. This is Oz the Terrible if not Brainard the Terrible, then. They get there and they encounter this enormous, ferocious head instead of the kindly wizard they seeked. And then they’re sent away without receiving any gifts atall. They’re told to kill a powerful witch, a seemingly impossible task. If we weren’t watching a movie, we’d say balderdash and turn away to avoid seeing the carnage.

bb:

Truth, Hucka D. But fairy tales don’t work that way. Usually. (pause to look at collage) Rock’s climbing on the green dude’s head. What’s that mean?

Hucka D.:

He’s scaling the problem. He has superhuman powers within the confines of *Gene Fade’s* movie. “Fade to Moss”, I believe. So Rock crash lands in *that* movie just like Dorothy does in the original Oz film. He walks past Seal Stone and Grey Rock. They’re bickering, like Newton and Jasper sometimes do in your virtual villages.

bb:

Interesting new take on the subject (!)

Hucka D.:

Grey Rock just wants to be left alone. But Seal Stone is there pestering him most of the time. They can become one and move about. They’ve been all over Whitehead Crossing together. Alone they are sedentary. As such they’re pictured like a grey seal, often with a ball or something manifesting about the nose area, like in “Sky Diamond” [another recent Whitehead Crossing collage].

bb:

So in the movie, Rock encounters an actual, grey seal.

Hucka D.:

Yes, according to the script (Hucka D. is heard rustling papers here), on page 51 there is an encounter with a grey seal soon after landing. It is trying to cross Green Stream, but a branch is in its way. It doesn’t want to jump in the water and wade across — apparently (more paper rustling) — checking back a page — the seal doesn’t like water. Strange seal! And it says here that 4 Sticks — that’s his name in the script as well — he’s on the opposite side laughing at the seal all the time. He’s, um, apparently put a curse on the seal so that it can’t cross Green Stream in that direction; has to remain in Whitehead Crossing proper. But 4 Sticks can cross the bridge and visit The Fairy any time he wishes. The Fairy does not like Grey Seal.

bb:

Is the Fairy Elton John?

Hucka D.:

He wears red ruby slippers[ like John does on the cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road]. Apparently John has given up on Whitehead Crossing. He steps backwards across the Green Stream, never to return. We last see him walking backwards up Greene Knob to the east.

bb:

Are you sure you’re still reading the script and not off the map now?

Hucka D.:

No. I’m improvising[ true enough].

bb:

Well maybe we should get back to the script.

Hucka D.:

There is no script. It’s just me rustling some old newspaper. Sound effects. Effective in Nowhereland[ where we talk in].

bb:

I believed you!

Hucka D.:

Do you want me to continue[ anyway]?

bb:

Eh. Sure.

Hucka D.:

… steps backwards across the creek, never to return. He keeps walking backwards up to the top of neighboring Greene Knob to the east. He build as hut on top, but he still can only walk backwards. You found his hutch.

bb:

Yeah I guess I did. Go on sir…

Hucka D.:

The Fairy obviously abandoned his home on the opposite side of Green Stream, but he still stayed there sometime. Instead he went elsewhere. He went to Doug. That’s another stream to the west. There he met additional fairies. For there were fairies in Whitehead Crossing already. And toy avatars of course. And bees. And Mossmen — but that’s kind of a toy.

bb:

Are they really, though?

Hucka D.:

We better return to the collage[ however much I’m enjoying this].

bb:

Well (looks again), the green being is The Emerald is the Emerald City of Oz. An ultimate destination, seemingly. Once you pass Green Turtle you know you’re there. Edward Stone.

Hucka D.:

In the center of the collage we have 3 figures. We have the green guy, with the branch Rock hands from representing his spine or backbone. Rock may then be a chiropractor adjusting the spine. This is your spine.

bb:

I suppose it could be.

Hucka D.:

That’s your Emerald City right now. To find a back specialist and allow him to help you.

bb:

Suppose.

Hucka D.:

Rock is that specialist. That’s his occupation.

bb:

Hmm. What about the strange looking artist. She’s acquired an eye and a beak, like a bird-woman now. But it’s a composite figure. Eye from 12 Oz Mouse returns, as he was in the Dock Tarn related collages (coming just before the Whitehead Crossing related collage under discussion).

Hucka D.:

She’s painting a picture so that she can move into it, as before (“Painter>Painting” collage).

collage64base05

The painting is also your collage or collages, and your Falmouth Gallery is positioned just below the canvas to reinforce that. You enter the collage just as she enters her painting. And your gallery is also pictured on that earlier collage (above). This is Little Whitehead.

bb:

That’s a whole ‘nother chunk of information, Hucka D. The Little Whitehead, Maine to Little Whitehead, NC bridge.

Hucka D.:

It’s another bridge. We know it can be a time bridge now. Can 4 Sticks cross[ and so on]?

bb:

I’m not sure.

Hucka D.:

Can 4 Sticks cross the Big Log and get out of his namesake berg?

bb:

Something to think about.

Hucka D.:

Maybe the *curse* also keeps him confined to 4 Sticks. He cannot cross Whitehead Crossing in that direction. He must remain south of the stream.

bb:

Interesting new development, Hucka D.[ if so].

Hucka D.:

*But*, if someone enters 4 Sticks improperly, across that Big Log or perhaps another bridge or log, then *they* are trapped. Black Dog. So it’s interesting we have Kevin in the new collage, from Up. Kevin is the one cursed, unable to reach True Home. He is hauled back to the Charles Muntz lair in the zeppelin. Big Balloon. The zeppelin approximates Carl’s house.

bb:

Interesting. Let me take a look at him[ in the collage]. One of his eyes subs for one of Boss Moss’ eyes. The two are one. In an earlier Falmouth collage…

collage15test05n

… one of Kevin’s eyes similarly substitutes for an eye of Howl’s Moving Castle. We associated the 2 together at the time because both are main characters, as it were, from single movie carrcasses, Hucka D. One is about Up, and one is about Howl’s Moving Castle, the movie named for the object or character. Because it is a living thing in the film. Both are desired objects in the film.

Hucka D.:

Kevin is being used *as stilts* in the film, in the collage. You better end.

bb:

Thank you.

It has a cross, or an “x” if you wish on it. This “x” was not present during my marriage but added later. Is it to mark the rock as a tombstone? Or is it to define it as a symbol of Christianity, perhaps by a follower of that religion? I think the former now.

bb:

I believe I do too, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

So it’s perched on Orange Hill. This is the Jasper 04 Collage referred to in the title. Most of its elements return in the new work.

bb:

But, as I’m looking at it, everything is turned around in the new collage. Facing left instead of right and visa versa. Everything.

Hucka D.:

Baker and dog — dingo — are perched atop a high rock in both. The rock, again, in Jasper 04 Revisited is the one from Norris. Pull up a pic.

*Is* it a tombstone?

bb:

I don’t think so.

Hucka D.:

You sure?

bb:

Not totally sure, no. It *is* in the ground firmly, that’s for sure.

Hucka D.:

But at any rate, this is the crossroads, or marks the crossroads. “X” marks the spot, and so forth and so on, etc.

bb:

Guitar weilding Mouse is now playing in the middle of Whitehead Stream, Hucka D. Playing the the Von Trapp children that may represent rocks or perhaps white-ish rocks within the stream. Mouse himself may be an island in the stream. In fact, all of them are *on* an [ unnamed] island just below Orange Hill. Orange Hill is the cliff above them, with the Norris rock added to the top now to make it more similar in height or at least picture-wise to the rock cliff of Jasper 04. The island, then, becomes important. *Is* it Mouse Island?

Hucka D.:

A [definite] possibility. Good.

bb:

About the only thing that doesn’t reappear from Jasper 04 in the new work is the Gill’s Pier sign, Hucka. That’s Gill’s Pier, Michigan, where in 2052, according to the legend, Pierre will reappear and all carrcasses will be freed of their restrictive chains.

Hucka D.:

A great event it will be. Get prepared[ even now].

bb:

Mouse will be free to play guitar to the Sound of Music children. He can teach them the ABC’s of Do Re Mi.

Hucka D.:

The fox is opposite the dingo. This is death opposed to life. Valley to peak. Bottom to top. The dingo with its diamond tail is perched atop the cliff, like the diamond was pivoted atop a hemlock tree in the former collage just examined.

bb:

Way back in 2009 we examined Jasper 04, Hucka.

“Promised Land”

I remember the triangle. The Triangle. There’s not really the same kind of equal triangle in the repurposed work.

Hucka D.:

Nah.

bb;

But all the pictorial elements return, however.

Hucka D.:

Yeah. Better end.

bb:

Thank you.

“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.
