“For now, Hucka D., the Kidd Tower (center of map) — formerly the Kidd Building — will be the entrance point for New Pietmond as a whole, and where I place the Sasun Steinbeck gallery kiosk. I also have several snapshots of New Pietmond within. But the 12 story Kidd Tower as a whole, is still a mystery to me. I believe it may be connected to the similarly mysterious A-Z line discovered on the east side of the Jeogeot continent in early 2010. Hucka D.? Anyway, this would certainly seem to dovetail with the Big E next to Kidd Tower. And I’ve decided to just leave the Oblong series in SoSo next door as well, even though it’s duplicated in the ToXic Art Gallery just down the way.

Hucka D.:

Hi. I was sleeping. What do you call the ways in town?

bb:

The Loop would be the central one, with Kidd Tower, Cherry And/Or Berry, and Garage #1 within and everything else in town without — excepting the X-Spot Gallery that looms over it all in its special manner. (pause to look at map) There also seems to be an offset way crossing east to west, containing all the exterior stairs of New Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

And you probably need to clarify to the reader that this is the *true* New Pietmond, right? I mean, this is what was suppose to be New Pietmond all along, although it has its roots in Otaki Gorge and Pietmond there.

bb:

Right. I thought that was New Pietmond, but it was just an extention of Pietmond, based in the sink hole. And that’s the key, because New Pietmond *is* in a sink hole — Sikkima containing perhaps the only true sink hole of the Heterocera continent. So New Pietmond becomes directly aligned with Pietmond in that way. They’re both in sink holes, which are rare on Second Life mainland relatively speaking. There’s only about 14, and the Sikkima sinkhole is the last discovered, actually. I thought of moving there about a year and a half ago, even, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I remember. Lisa the Fox.

bb:

Maybe. So the whole subject of Sinkology is still directly applicable to both Pietmond and New Pietmond. The Sikkima sinkhole may be the ultimate sinkhole even, since you can burrow down further than the others on newer mainland. And I suppose it could be the *original* sinkhole of Second Life, even. 1st sink.

Hucka D.:

What would that mean?

bb:

Dunno. Seems important[, though]. The Kidd Tower holds the keys.

Hucka D.:

I agree. You better get hopping (pause).

“L… O”

“E Tree”

“It’s about sinkholes, baker b.”

bb:

And 12 story, central buildings.

Hucka D.:

And mustard.

bb:

Catching up?

Hucka D.:

Frank and Herman Einstein. Frank and Herman.

bb:

New Pietmond has detracted from study of the parks. The central [12 story] theme of this here blog.

Hucka D.:

Here. Then there.

bb:

Does the 12 story building have a name?

Hucka D.:

The Building of 12 Stories.

bb:

4×3.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

At 60 meters, it’s the 3rd highest building in New Pietmond, Hucka D., after the Tower of A. Mann — 100 meters — and Big Boy[ Tower] at about 80 meters. 10-8-6, or 5-4-3. Pythagoras triangle.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Rhythm. Counterpoint. Balance. Style. Grace. Luxery. Distinction. Difference. Similarity. Still.

bb:

(after a pause) Got it, Hucka D.: The Kidd Building. (!)*

Hucka D.:

(!)

bb:

So Kidd, 3, then Big Boy, 4, then an actual Man(n), 5. 3-4-5 is the progression of child to man.

Hucka D.:

You didn’t have that in Otaki Gorge, Sunklands.

bb:

No, not really. Well… the TILE Tower…

Hucka D. (interrupting):

Odd entrance.

bb:

May not stay the same[ in the future], Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

What’s in the building? In the future? Collages?

bb:

Frank and Herman… Einstein?

Hucka D.:

Maps, then. Work on it slowly. Savor.

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D. Of the 3[ Tower of A. Mann, Big Boy, Kidd Building], only The Kidd has any internal compartments. It is more central. Tower of A. Mann and Big Boy look to it for their own substance. That your line?

Hucka D.:

No. Not any more.

bb:

Hold on, Hucka D.

bb:

I’ll work on it.

Hucka D.:

Count your galleries.

bb:

Let’s see, in New Pietmond now are the Stairs Gallery featuring Kollage Kid art, housed in 2 separate structures or the Stairs Building and the Stairs Gallery Annex, connected by a bridge.

Hucka D.:

One. Now a balance on the opposite side of the town.

bb:

I guess you mean the Toxic Art Gallery.

Eternally bickering Newton and Jasper.

Hucka D.:

That’s your gallery. With your collages.

bb:

Yes, and then Slipper with some Mike Casey art. That’s next to the Stairs Building. Here.

Hucka D.:

Do you have a name for the waterfall? Or falls?

bb:

I guess just The Falls, Hucka D. Then — continuing — Cherry and/or Berry featuring Rougeau art, another Pietmond staple…

bb:

Let’s see… the Sink Lair has returned. Quite exciting. And then SoSo in the center of things as well. But now since I have the Toxic Art Gallery with the Oblong series within along with 3 other floors of the Art 10×10, SoSo will have to be retooled.

Hucka D.:

What[ will be within]?

bb:

New Pietmond map?… starting point for art gallery tours?

Hucka D.:

You have 2 unresolved smudges [unfocused areas] in the center of town: Kidd Building and SoSo, and caddycorner to each other.

bb (distracted):

I really like that grassy little park in front of the Big E, Hucka D. Different from anything I’ve done previously.

Hucak D.:

New Pietmond is the best you’ve done in Second Life so far. Your Second Lyfe. So that’s another center. And the Hole in the Wall is another center…

… and the Stairs Gallery and Gallery Annex…

bb:

Weird shot there, Hucka D. Juxtaposes the bridge between the 2 parts of the Stairs Gallery with the railroad above them and then the asteroid above that. With the train crossing over all that at the same time (!).

Hucka D.:

Total eclipse. You better end.

bb:

Thanks!

* Later changed to Kidd Tower.

But not in Jeogeot any longer. I’ve abandoned all land there and moved to the Heterocera continent. I’ve given up on pushing the boundaries of *new* Jeogeot mythology, but will still refine the old. Heterocera represents my first mainland continent where I bought land, way back in August 2008. Now I have returned. Second Life is beginning to eat its own tail. I must follow and grok as best as possible.

More details soon! New Pietmond is evolving rapidly.

… Baker Bloch is finished in Rubi yet.

Surprising (once more).
