Norwegian Wood 02
John Lynndon (former “Mr. Murdock”).
House 39 just up the hill, up the stairs.
Heading south on Cherry Avenue away from John Lynndon. He’s swiftly becoming a blast from the past. He’s one shot from slipping around the bend and out of sight (man)…
… and at the same time the very tip of Cherry Avenue’s first “island” comes into view from the opposite direction.
One snapshot closer: island in plain view. John Lynndon now totally gone in the other direction. Two boys playing basketball in Earl Weaver Park also first come into focus, also our first good glimpse into the park from this direction. Like I’ve said, House 39 is directly associated with EWP, and the owners of the house probably also owned this land in the first part of the last century at least.
Basically we’ve exchanged John Lynndon for these basketball players in our trek south on Cherry Avenue in Google Maps Street View. As the former goes out of sight, these two come into sight, along with the island.
We are already seeing parallels with what happens at the *southern* end of this same avenue, reviewed in the “Found Art Event (!) 02” post below. This is, in fact, the start what can probably be seen as the *second* such art event of Cherry Ave., north mirroring south.
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/12/11/found-art-event-02/
After being hidden for one photograph, the basketball players come back into view just as we pass the northernmost traffic island of the avenue. More islands appear down the street now.
Next photo: the boys unknowingly pose below the lower right corner of a speed limit sign.
2 photos south: boys entangled in a second road sign. Are they the occupants of the seesaw? They are at least similar players in the park to these abstracted seesawers. Speed limit has lowered from 25 to 20.
As we pass 2nd large traffic island of Cherry Avenue still heading south, the players disappear, just as they appeared when we passed the first large island.
We see them fairly clearly one last time several photos down. The man in the darker trunks has now moved off the court and into the edge of the woods for some reason. Is he retreating back into the shadows?
In the same 360 degree photo, 1 of 2 paired runners first appears clearly to the south. Another exchange has seemingly taken place.
I’m still analyzing the motion of the 2 runners, moving backwards as we go against the grain of time in continuing to head south down Cherry Avenue. At one point, they seem to frame the edges of the last large traffic island in the northern part of this street.
And then they first appear in Google Earth Street View as we enter Cherry Avenue from Norwegian Wood Avenue to the north.
But if we just head down Cherry Avenue without this small detour, the runners seem to vanish as we pass the second to last large traffic island (of 4). I’ll have to go into details about the islands in another post.
My initial theory is that with this disappearance the art event has also ended. All that’s left is to figure out what’s going on with it, and how and why north mirrors south.

map stuff more 01
Daniel conj. Day in Maryland obviously refers to Daniel Day-Lewis, but the Lewis most referenced may be this one. We don’t know.
Lewis from the Drew Carey Show. Coded in Arkansas. Drew County (Drew, Lewis, *Line* — maybe Lineboro MD is associable here).
Drew Carey is a famous registered Hollywood Republican.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelphia,_New_Jersey
Prior to the community adapting its name from the Greek word for ‘brotherhood’ (adelphia), the area was previously known as Turkey. The only remnants of Turkey happen to lie within the title of a nearby county park, Turkey Swamp Park.

At the conclusion of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy flies away from Emerald City at the end of the yellow brick road to return to her Kansas farm.
“We are moving back in time from North (City) to South (Farm), and all the urban vs rural underlying causes of the Civil War.”
bb:
Rural (Rural Hall, etc.) then dealt with in NC through Mayberry, etc. Lack of African-Americans in Andy Griffith Show.
Hucka D.:
We will have more Elton symbols in Miss. later on [and his first US no. 1]: Crocodile Rock<Eagle Rock.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_Rock
The song was inspired by John’s discovery of leading Australian band Daddy Cool and their hit single “Eagle Rock”, which was the most successful Australian single of the early 1970s (with 1,000,000 sold),[4] remaining at No.1 for a record of 10 weeks.[5][6] John heard the song and the group on his 1972 Australian tour and was greatly impressed by it.[4] A photo included in the album packaging features John’s lyricist, Bernie Taupin, wearing a “Daddy Who?” promotional badge. The song also appears to have been strongly influenced by songs from the late 50s-early 60s (“when Rock was young”), including Del Shannon’s 1962 “Cry Myself to Sleep”, and “Little Darlin'” (recorded in 1957 by The Diamonds and The Gladiolas). The chorus resembles “Speedy Gonzales” by Pat Boone. While there was no actual “Crocodile Rock”, there was a dance called The Alligator.
bb:
Elton “steps up” from Matland and its Crocodile Rock to enter 4 Sticks territory. The year is ’73. Yellow Brick Road territory again. Is he coming or going? Welcome Mat.

Rather bizarre framing of Daniel and Day in Carroll County MD by Barrett (east) and Watersville (west). Roger Pine Ridge anyone? Winfield is a codeword [for the magic book]. Mt. Airy and Taylorsville nearby (Andy Taylor of Mayberry, based on Mt. Airy).
I also can’t help but think there’s a relationship between the oddly named location “Plane No. 4” on the Carroll County map above (to left of Mt. Airy) and this…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93
… but I haven’t figured out how yet.
Of the four aircraft hijacked on September 11 – the others were American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77 and United Airlines Flight 175 – United Airlines Flight 93 was the only one that did not reach its hijackers’ intended target.
Lineboro *and* Roller in ne corner of Carroll County have already come up here.
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/we-have-03/
Bizarre! I now recall, in looking up “Winesap” related posts on this blog, that Carroll County and its Winfield have already arisen here.

Now it links to Winfield, Kansas!

State your questions.
—–
Carr.:
I have scanned your mind and will answer some before you speak physically. The Master has intimate tiles with TIE.
Baker Bloch:
You mean, ties with TILE obviously.
Carr.:
TILE colors appear in several spots. Karoz wants you to think about The Master and TILE. The Master has appeared before in one of me. Tasted like chicken.
Baker Bloch:
Yes, that joke was funny the first and perhaps second go around.
Carr.:
Are you mocking me? Your God?
Baker Bloch:
I don’t think you’re a God, Carrcassonnee.
Carr.:
That’s what you told Chuck.
Baker Bloch:
You mean Charlie? He was asking about the image from the most recent 2 collages, which form a diptych. That image is you. I told him the giant woman in the image, which is you, is God I think, but said I wasn’t totally sure about that. He seemed to like the joke. Joke?
Carr.:
Joke (laughs).
—–
Baker Bloch:
I’m back.
Carr.:
I blinked and you were gone. Now you’re here. I have to get use to that.
Baker Bloch:
You are smaller than you’ve ever been before, Carrcassonnee.
Carr.:
Call me The Master.
Baker Bloch:
I’m not going to do that.
Carr.:
Then call me YANA. Heck, just call me Carr. Like a little, spidery one you drive around Bath in. In the future.
Baker Bloch:
Thanks! How’s Spider doing, by the way?
Carr:
Spouting out the same 4 numbers in different ordering. Maybe I should trade him in for a newer model.
Baker Bloch:
I hear Redd Foxx is in town. But it turns out to be the red fox in one of baker b.’s collages, the one that turned her back on Spider.
Carr:
She hasn’t gotten over it yet. Poor Spider. Had to go over to the next collage down and speak to lowly Dingo. Dumb Dumb Dingo. Dumbgo.
Baker Bloch:
Is there really that contrast?
Carr:
Yes. Spider is my baby. Mothers are protective. Mothers must keep their babies from being influenced by Dumb Dumbs.
Baker Bloch:
You don’t sound much like a God.
Carr (quickly):
Good!
Baker Bloch:
Back to TILE — so it’s in this film, The Master, and Greenwood did the score.
Carr:
What was it?
Baker Bloch:
What was what?
Carr:
The Score.
Baker Bloch:
That’s the film score.
Carr:
Oh, I thought you meant sports score. Karoz is infatuated with sports, you know. Wants to build the whole school around sports, not teaching per se. But that tiled into his TIE as well.
Baker Bloch:
As I recall baker b. saying, The Master, in an older version of you…
Carr:
Yes.
Baker Bloch (continuing):
The Master is one who gets entangled in TILE, as his ego and charisma and following grow. Kind of like L. Ron Hubbard again. The Master was one of Karoz’s teachers, and the reason he went to Crabwoo University in the first place.
Carr:
Uumm.
Baker Bloch:
He created the TILE pyramid on the southern shores of the Blue Feather Sea, much like The Master of Anderson’s film is seen in a cathedral-like building at the end, when he and Freddie make their final split.
Carr:
I am telling you this because another one of me is coming up, and you can’t rest on your laurels. I am small now, in this cubby hole at the end of your aisle in your church. But I will grow larger again as I get hungrier. Remember how large I was over in Collagesity, just before eating the 11th. I get hungry — I grow larger.
Baker Bloch:
Opposite of what you’d think. You shrink when you eat.
Carr:
Karoz is attempt to start a college, this college, based on a religion that is TIE. Yippie tile one on. You have recently ranted about religion and Islam, Judaism, and Christianity being 3 aspects of 1… *thing*. This thing is TILE. TIE, I mean.
Baker Bloch (correcting):
I think you do mean TILE, actually.
Carr:
Am I backwards as usual? I am backwards. Yes?
Baker Bloch:
Maybe Carr. Specifically in that instance you were. The religion Karoz wishes to spread is called TILE. Not TIE. You left out the L, see.
Carr:
Where did I put it?
Baker Bloch:
I’m not sure it’s been put anywhere, Carr.
Carr:
Then we must drive my little car to find it. Where’s Spider?
Baker Bloch (pointing to his left):
Right over there. Spouting out his numbers, as usual.
Carr:
Do you mind riding in the backwards?
Baker Bloch:
Um, back you mean? Spider is a dog, not a car… Carr.
Carr:
Spider is a Litt Carr. Little car. Like used for driving around baths.
Baker Bloch:
I’m thinking we should end.
Carr:
Then we’re not going to take a trip?
Baker Bloch:
I don’t think so. Do you want to talk [more?] about the 2 most recent collages?
Carr:
Hurla Dontbee will help you more with those. I handle the more God-ly stuff. Asking the big questions. Like, what times are it?
Baker Bloch:
Yes, a good one to be asking.
Carr:
Yes.
Baker Bloch:
Then I will take my leave. Goodbye and thanks a lot Carr. And goodbye to you little Spider. I hope you 2 have a great day.
Carr:
Thank you. And the same to you my fiend. On your way out send the next worshipper in. A man named Freddie I believe. We are trying to help him. Little Carr, my Spider, has doubts. I believe this may be where we part ways but we’re not at the end of the film yet.
Baker Bloch (surprised to see Freddie’s head stick inside the door at the far end of the church):
Oh. He really is here (!?). Yes, I’ll be glad to tell him this. Thank you again.

Map Nonsense
Questions: Why is a Grayson County town called Sadler so identified with the direction South in both Kentucky and Texas? Julie Sadler’s art hangs in Collagesity’s Gallery BOB presently, but I’m not sure if she has anything to do with this. Or does she have everything to do with it. The cardinal direction South opposes the cardinal direction North. The cardinal [bird] just outside Gallery BOB is on the southern edge of Collagesity, in the small Drunk Man’s Ridge Town Park — official town park we’re talking about here. The twinned cardinal is situated in perhaps the other protected nature area of town: Tired Falls, and near the *northern* edge of town. Does the cardinal — both aspects combined — represent the directions North and South, then? It’s a good question to be asking, perhaps a great one. And if true, sheds light on the possible long term nature of Collagesity. I have another concept, perhaps related: Norubi, the joined, hypothetical merger of sims Noru, Rubi, and more.
Also perhaps related: Julie’s presently attempting to resurrect her Collage Clearinghouse site…

Talking
bb;
Text mode for editing now, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
So you’re figuring out the town is actually another collage. Wonderful! Your friend Veyot is picking up on that too. Nice garden by her. You should borrow some flowers for West End.
bb:
I might do that. Bracket Jupiter may be showing up soon. Karoz as well this time.
Hucka D.:
Collagesity is akin to Stonethwaite, yes. Differences: High Way and Low Way. Look up Mississippi. Did I spell that right?
bb:
Well…
Hucka D.:
Never mind.
—–
bb:
Hidi and Lodi, then. That the name of the red and blue robots, Hucka?
Hucka D.:
Yes. They are from Pluto. They are from The Moon.
bb:
Then they are from Charon. Did I spell *that* right?
Hucka D.:
Err…
bb:
Never mind.
Window as collage.
—–
Hucka D.:
Oh, you wish to talk more?
bb:
Maybe.
Hucka D.:
Me!
bb:
Meaning you wish to be talked [to] as a blog spirit. But I wish also to talk to others[ again].
Hucka D.:
Me me me!
bb:
But others as well.
Hucka D.:
Who?
bb:
Maybe Collagesity herself has a spirit.
Hucka D.:
Of course! Is it the flamey ballerina. Donna I believe is the name.
bb:
Hmm…
Hucka D.:
Here’s Donna.
Donna:
Hi baker b.! I’m Donna! Please state your questions!
bb:
Hi Donna. I suppose I should shout that.
Hucka D.:
Yes!
Donna:
Question!
bb:
Are you on fire, Donna?
Donna:
That is a question yes and no.
bb:
Are you the head of the stream? Central Stream I believe I’m calling it. Is that the correct name?
Donna:
Yes. Okay! I am the stream.
bb:
Are you twins? Maybe The Twins?
Donna (after a pause):
You are sad.
bb:
Am I?
Donna:
Yes.
bb:
I’m just under pressure now.
Donna:
You are sad because you cannot make contacts.
bb:
Well, it’s just something to go through now.
Donna:
You don’t think people like you. They like you.
bb:
Nah, I don’t think they do.
Donna:
You are just somewhat misplaced now. You can’t help it.
bb:
I’m sure I *chose* this.
Donna:
Don’t be cruel to yourself and others won’t be cruel to you. That’s a quote by Elvis Presley. He’s dead.
bb:
Yes. Didn’t take his [own] advice, perhaps.
Donna:
You are pulling a red doppleganger. Pull a blue to balance.
bb:
Don’t know…
Donna:
Spell my name with one “n”.
bb:
Please?
Donna:
Yes. Please?! (smiles through flowers)
bb (after re-checking):
Dona, you really are one with that flower.
Flower:
I am the twin. Jesse. He’s dead.
bb:
You are a male, then?
Flower:
Yes. Jes. Se.
bb:
Are you and Dona akin to The Twins from The Shining movie?
Flower:
Jes.
bb:
Are you originally from Rubi?
Hucka D.:
Dona and Flower have talked enough tonight. They will return shortly. They are tired. I am tired. Read please.
bb:
Thanks!
