Pietmond Review, 01
Big E has already moved to a newly bought 512 parcel now making up part of north Pietmond. A Big E Park has been established. Still studying the object for new angles of insights.
The below shot shows Baker Bloch in west Pietmond beside an as yet unnamed pool of water, with a recently purchased Fatima Ur created cottage next to it. Who lived in the cottage? Is it called Pond Cottage after the body of water it sits next to? Baker Bloch is perhaps thinking over these same questions while sitting at the spool table beside them. Hafta ask Hucka D. about all this asap.
Also behind Baker Bloch here is another new structure in Pietmond, a house of Tudor design but with nothing within as yet. It’s on the only rental land I have in the community, another 512 affair. I’ve been attempting to slyly expand Pietmond in various directions just to see what’s “out there” in a traceable manner.
A Pietmond visitor seeming to admire the spectre of Big Boy (tower) looming over him. Or maybe he is a Peter’s Grave worshipper like this woman avatar from late October.
Newly positioned Big E again photographed between the Temple of TILE (right) and House of Truth (left).
norris Gallery — still not complete. Do I have enough pictures or ideas or concepts, even, to finish it off? At any rate, I’ll post more about the rocks composing the Big Temple of Dongoba very soon, a kind of psychic double, as I’m sensing it, to the norris Gallery structure itself.
But the obvious center of Pietmond remains the Temple of TILE. Baker sits in the never finished Pod Pad, loosely planned originally as a music venue of some sort. Hasn’t panned out that way.
Baker Bloch seems to confer with Carcassonne about this lack. “*I* am the center,” it would probably say to this line of inquiry. Or *she* would, for Hucka D. indicates that Carcassonne is an alien of female persuasion, and possible from the Charon moon of Pluto. There is confusion still about the relationship between the province Sharon of Mythos’ Wazob and Charon the Plutonian moon (sometimes pronounced like “Sharon”). Are they, underneath it all, one and the same? Is Carcassonne an Ancient in Baker Blinker Blog terminology? Is she a glop being (Glop People reportedly lived in Sharon, Wazob in its own ancient times)? Ladyslipper or Slipperman/woman? Did she or her people create the Sharon province time/space loop I fell into as a teenage Wazobian/Sharonian explorer?
A nice complement to the unplumbed mysteries of the Pod Pad on the floor above is the Kollage Kid exhibit on the second floor of the temple. making up the majority of the Something To CHRO About Gallery which also spills over into the ajoined second floor of the Home o’ Fibs. Quintessential collaging, as I’ve promoted it; everything builds up from these simple, comic juxtapositions, often with a corresponding loss of innocence and also artistic quality in my opinion. More complex imagery often doesn’t equate with better artwork. Kollage Kid’s efforts act as a barometer for all other collage art in Pietmond, and perhaps all art period in Pietmond, including that of yours truly.
“I Remember the Incident at the Canal”
“Space Laundry”
Then also in the Temple of TILE, on the lowest floor still, is the labyrinth, another central object of Pietmond for certain. Does the Pietmond Labyrinth hold further clues into the nature of the Pod Pad directly above it? Probably.
Pietmond Review, 02
Just outside the door on the second floor of the Home o’ Fibs holding part of the Kollage Kid exhibit is found more collages from Julie Sadler, who I befriended several years ago. This would be within the Norum Gallery, set up last year in Pietmond. I must study her influential Collage Clearinghouse Blog more for certain. We have moved up a step in complexity… the humor has largely drained away, leaving us less obvious meanings. A sentimental past peeks through each piece; one must contemplate longer and deeper. You be the judge.
“Gates and Fences”
“Females in Keyland”
In the “Baker Bloch in England” exhibit next door at the TILE Towers, humor has returned, often of a quite silly variety, like Baker Bloch feeling for rain in a huge hole in a chosen English “home” for his Second Life family of avatars. For Baker Bloch truly visited England in Spring 2010, staying in a total of at least three different locations in Wiltshire County over a month’s period. Mouse over the exhibit pictures in succession to glean more of the story.
We have also returned to the land of simple collages, mainly of a one image atop another, dissimilar or heterogeneous image variety. This is how the “visit” actually occurred: a collage of Second Life and Real Life images together to make a new whole, hopefully. I like the exhibit quite a lot; it’s a little different from anything else in Pietmond.
Moving on up the row of structures on this side of Pietmond, we next have the still uncompleted Blue Feather Gallery. At this point, I’m thinking about scraping the latest incarnation of the “Jeogeot through Art and Word” within (another, “different” exhibit) and inserting something else here. Perhaps a guest artist known in Second Life itself?
Part of the latest wave of seeming Jeogeot degeneration: the closing of the long established Park Galleries.
Pietmond Heights gives the appearance of a potential, separate tiny community within Pietmond itself, and in the second iteration of Pietmond, it represents its oldest part. Besides the “old” town hall (perhaps originally just the town hall of Pietmond Heights), structures within now include “Yippie TILE One On,” with Edna Million photos within…
… and “Cherry And/Or Berry”, containing collage images of Kenneth Rougeau also first seen in classic 2010-2011 Pietmond. Kenneth is still a developing artist, and I don’t think we’ve seen the best from him yet. The Alice series is a classic for sure, but it’s an early inspiration. In contrast to Julie Sadler and probably Kollage Kid, I’d put Mr. Rougeau in my class of artist, one either still developing (him) or one that understands the limits of his development (me).
So with that let’s move through one last picture of Pietmond Heights and its mysterious 1 prim rocketship…
… to the 75 meter high Big Boy Tower, one of Pietmond’s several empty structures or “eyecandy” constructs…
… to an overhead picture of what I’m calling Syncher’s Row, We’re now on the southwest side of Pietmond opposite the Norum Gallery/TILE Towers/Blue Feather Gallery complex in terms of the overall community. 3 galleries are found on this Row: SoSo West, SoSo East, and the Gallery in the Rocks, all exhibiting works by so-called Golden Age syncers, of which I am one along with Mike Casey and Stegokitty. Dr. Casey specializes in abstract digital art and not necessarily collage; Stegokitty is another very promising artist who doesn’t really have the time to focus on it as much as he would like. His primary emphasis is currently photography, but he’d like to create more collages. Which leaves SoSo East and my own works, all of a collage nature and from one collection of 100 collages called the Art 10×10 or just the 10×10. How do these works relate to other Pietmond art?
Well, first off I do not consider myself a dye in the wool traditional artist. I do not labor each day at a worktable attempting to find the right image cut out from a magazine or other source to put atop other, similarly found images. The Art 10×10 draws more, in many ways, from another, “writing” 10×10 that immediately preceded it (and of less success, I believe). I do not worry as much as most other artists about legality of images, and this stems from my synchronicity background and the necessity to cut across or intrude upon boundaries for the seeming sake of a greater, more wholistic good.
Syncher’s Row is composed of synchronicity artists who are most related to me…
… which seems to bring us back to the Big E, here seen from a high window in the Big Boy tower.
*Year* in Review
Been another good year. The dominant SL theme has been Pietmond, continued over from the second half of 2010. Right now the community energy seems to be peaking, once more, but still I’m not sure it will be around in the Spring. Each month before the tier payment comes due I evaluate its worth and make a judgment call.
Also big blog news this year is the surge of Real Life hiking posts and related theories/stories, specifically focusing on the protected lands of adjacent Frank and Herman Parks. Outside of Pietmond, my ties with the rest of Second Life have gradually faded, including the exploration of Jeogeot and other continents. The effect seems to be reciprocal to real life explorations, where new focal areas include Wealthy Mountain (Green Oz Creek, Michael Too, Quartz Brook), Norris Stream, and, most recently, Cache Creek.
Outside of the blog, another newsworthy item is increased activity in the direction of carcasses, which I will go ahead and state are really what I call audiovisual synchronicities. Two new, larger ones have been found in the summer and fall, or Carcass-5 and Carcass-6. This whole process still clearly came to a climax around the end of 2006/beginning of 2007, but the new work is a kind of second wind for me nonetheless. We’ll see if I can carry that momentum forward into 2012.
No collages created this year, excluding the carcasses. Blog writing continued at a steady pace of about 1 post per month on the average, down in the summer when I temporarily got rid of my Pietmond holdings, but now up again. I’ve also been re-reading my blog as a whole in the last several months.
Will miss Pietmond. Where is it all heading? Frank and Herman Parks and attached mythologies will continue to be strengthened and reinforced. Baker Bloch may even make a return trip to England. 🙂
Nordan Art pieces
Very nice review of the Edwardston Station Gallery by my old art pal Flora Nordenskiold, now a powerful and influential Second Life gallery owner. Well done Flora on developing your Nordan Art gallery and accompanying blog!
http://nordanomjorden.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/review-edwardston-station-gallery/
As the post says, I will have some collage pieces showing at her gallery beginning in February. Here’s a link to the post I created at the time of my first opening at Flora’s then fledgling gallery, later renamed:
http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/category/galleries-other/ahren-art-gallery/
I don’t believe I’ve been in a suit since then. Must – get – out – more. 🙂
“Going…
… to keep Pietmond for at least another month, Hucka D.”
Hucka D.:
Good. Big E?
bb:
Have any ideas?
Hucka D.:
Simple. Words[ to sims] don’t mean much. Easy to spot synchronicity like with Pietmond[ word].
—–
bb:
I’m really going to attempt to finish the norris Gallery next, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
That’s long term. That’s complex.
bb:
Great you and norris are back together. That’s norris with small letters, right?
Hucka D.:
Correct. She’s not really a company any more. Three’s a crowd again. She understands about Hurla Dontbee. She was just a ride. Otherland.
bb:
Want to talk about Burning Bush or Sun Bush or Son Bush?
Hucka D.:
It talks[ to you].
bb:
Hucka D., the main Dongoba Temple, the way I’ve mapped it out, has 3 levels of rocks, just like there are 3 levels or floors to the norris Temple that I’ve also directly identified with this rock temple.
Hucka D.:
Peewee Big.
bb:
Thanks. Little Big Hand.
Hucka D.:
bb:
Perhaps interesting that “bush” or “senah” is a Biblical dis legomenon, that is, the word occurs only twice in the book, both where it describes a burning bush. In the Kerchal Forest very early on in the Baker Blinker Blog, Baker Blinker ran into or “chanced upon” [exactly] two bushes. And this has to directly with “Sun Bush”[ etc.]. High Bush, then, and Low Bush. Hilo.
Hucka D.:
It’s two numbers multiplied together to come 50 short of a Monster. That’s not chance.
bb:
I know, actually, of another dis legomenon: Herman.
Hucka D.:
That’s the Monster (!)
bb:
Herman Munster, then.
Hucka D.:
Yes (!) And Frank Einstein. Frank and Herman, Einstein (!)
bb:
And norris is in Frank Park, but very near Herman Park as well. Like Gnirps.
Hucka D.:
I couldn’t… sorry.
bb:
I couldn’t find a picture where Dreyfuss looks at the UFO and has to cover his eyes, Hucka D. The burning bush is the UFO, then.
Hucka D.:
Precisely. Counterpunch.
bb:
Counterpunch?
Hucka D.:
Mann’s Choice. Rain. Counterpunch. Graveyard. Open. Defeat of death. But defeat at price. A Herman Park price.
bb:
Priceless, then. Priceless decision.
—–
bb:
George *Burns* played God in Peewee Big, Hucka D. Mr. Burns often plays Satan on The Simpsons. He blocked out the Sun one time. George Burns as God made everyone his son in a famous scene from the movie.
Hucka D.:
Oh God, you mean.
bb:
The Son or Sun is the Little Big Hand. Big is the Universe governed by Laws of Einstein: Relativity. Small is the world of Quantum Physics. How to stitch the two together?
Hucka D.:
Monster. Monstrous.
—–
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogon_people#Dogon_and_Sirius
bb:
Dogon sounds a lot like Dongoba. First 5 letters are the same. 50 year orbit for Sirius B — that’s how I chanced upon this.
—–
bb:
I wonder if the “high” and “low” refer to the chance of something occuring, like a high chance of Dogon contact with Sirians or a low chance of same. Two chances, two bushes. See if this works:
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=154:2:6127281305608553::NO:RP::
—–
bb;
Hmmm.
http://forums.bigfishgames.com/posts/list/170116.page
Hucka D.:
Rock pile.
bb:
But — of course (!) — Temple refers to Robert K. Temple, author of “The Sirius Mystery”, Hucka D. Dongoba Temple resonates with Dogon and Temple the author. Not necessarily a Dogon Temple.
Hucka D.:
Both. We better end soon.
bb;
Before I forget, there’s a Bush in Box Elder County near Tremonton. Tree. Bush. Then Box Elder, a small tree, almost a bush itself. Cache County next to it in Utah.
Hucka D.:
Crane shot. Expensive.
bb:
Portmantue as well.* Port Mandeaux.
Hucka D.:
That’s Carcassonne.

*Secreek (to be continued?)
Pietmond Decision, 01
Now I’m pretty sure I want to hang onto Pietmond in January, but let’s talk about it.
Hucka D.:
Let us.
bb:
Hi, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Hello. Hey.
Carcassonne:
I am the all. I am this blog, these words. I am alpha, omega, points between. I am, you are. You is. I are.
bb:
Hi as well to you tonight, Carcassonne.
NORRIS:
Hey, baker Beach.
bb:
Quite a crowd tonight. Do you have… er, never mind.
Hucka D. (guessing what baker b. was going to say):
Hurla Dontbee back there? No need to shy away from the name, baker b. We’re all cool with it.
bb:
That right NORRIS? Can I call you just Norris? Can you hear my capitalization somehow?
NORRIS:
Norris is fine. norris is fine. NORRIS is OK.
bb:
What is your relationship, Norris, with Carcassonne?
Hucka D.:
We wish to talk more about Bobb tonight.
bb:
Bobb, great. I’m picking up, um, that she’s a cousin of Norris?
NORRIS:
Bobb is a relative.
bb:
About the same length, Probably about the same overall drop in elevation from source to mouth.
NORRIS (speaking the name of the community at her mouth):
Stype.
bb:
I really like a number of places on the creek. It is in Mythos. Mythopolis. It was another “surprise” hiking find this year. Who knew a found creek would come from the thought-of dead Mythos and Mythopolis?
NORRIS:
Bamboo.
bb:
Yes, let me list out the advantages to [exploring/grokking] Bobb. Obviously you should not feel slighted because of this NORRIS, because you are *the* new, sacred creek of this blog and of my creativity.
NORRIS:
No slight. (pause) Bamboo.
bb:
That the mouth of Bobb is in a bamboo grove is an advantage to Bobb, yes. And of course the attraction and also disattraction to Mythopolis as a whole is the warmer clime, with a growing season 6 weeks longer. In March, say, if it snows a ton in Blue Mountain, I can still go down and hike around Bobb, knowing that it will in all likelihood be snow free. That extends my own hiking season. So in the summer this is reversed, and Bobb most likely closes up around the end of March. I’ll provide some pictures of the place very soon, hopefully. (pause) Does Bobb have a voice on this blog as well?
NORRIS:
Yes. If you wish.
bb:
The horseshoe bend on Bobb near its mouth seems to be a center. In the middle of the bamboo grove as well. Does that particular place have a name?
[No one answers immediately]
bb:
Is Bobb hard to reach [ie, communicate with] because of the density of Mythopolis?
Hucka D.:
Bobb is a place you can use just in case you need it. Handy.
bb:
Handyland.
Hucka D.:
Yes (!)
—–
bb:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/techsoup/2267120499/
Interesting. A [Second Life avatar named] Handyland Fairymeadow quickly came up with a google image search, Hucka D.
The symmetrical sim to the one where he spoke about technological mashups in Second Life is called OneClimate Island, with a “50” on it. We spoke about the # 50 last night. And we were just speaking about the different climates of NORRIS and Bobb.
NORRIS:
Bobb and I are one climate.
bb:
Looking closer at the Second Life map, it’s really 350, but 50 stands out I feel. The “0” of 50 reminds me of Esbum Michigan’s Missing Piece [same shape].
—–
Here’s the story: Esbum Michigan didn’t die but piloted her Missing Piece, her sacred ship, to OneClimate and adjacent lands. The Missing Piece represents the number 50, like Sirius B.
Hucka D.:
Wrong. She rode a Bee to Handyland.
bb:
I’ve found Esbum Michigan. In Mythos!
Carcassonne
“I am all Carcasses. I am all.”
Center, The
Is it chance that Baker Bloch can see Carcassonne from the Big Boy Temple and that’s about all.
Don’t ask him because he doesn’t know.
I AM NORRIS BUT I WILL SPEAK FOR CARCASSONNE. THE SACRED PLACE AT BOBB IS CARCASSONNE. YOU HAD TO EXTERIORIZE FROM BLUE MOUNTAIN TO FIND THE TRUE CENTER [OF PIETMOND]. IT HAD TO BE IN MYTHOS, AN EYE. AN I.
bb:
Fascinating. The Center.
WE SECURED OUR OWN CREEK FOR OUR OWN GOOD. BOBB. THAT WAS OURS. THAT IS STILL OURS. IF YOU CAN HELP US. WE CAN COMMUNICATE STILL. chro.
Korean
Article about the Korean Channel from the Simple Wunderlich blog, called Jeogeot Bay within.
http://simplewunderlich.wordpress.com/2012/01/01/simples-balloon-rides-around-jeogeot-bay/
This is just a note: in the post, a very interesting building in the northwest corner of the Giyeok sim is mentioned. I’ll quote:
It consists of several parcels, one is the “XEMOR – Art Gallery”. It is owned and created by Romex Torricelli and set to The Sun and Moon group. The parcels are claimed Sep 2007 (!). Not all parts of the building are open to the public.
In recently reinvestigating the Korean Channel I too ran across this building, but found it to be on banned property. Now it appears that only part of the building may be private. I’ll have to go back.
So much more could be done to the Korean Channel. It could become a Linden paradise.
Hucka D. (quoting from end of the Simple Wunderlich’s post):
“’26 hours on a day,’ eh.”
bb:
Alphabet again.
Then upon visiting XEMOR once more, Baker Bloch still couldn’t find a public entrance…
… but then wised up and checked the parcel owner’s picks. Success!
Some quite amazing art here. Reminds me of Ernst and Matta.
Superb! Pictures from the Korean Channel itself on floor 2 of the XEMOR Gallery…
… and of XEMOR itself, it seems.
XEMOR from the Korean Channel. Wow. I might have to buy that one for L$500. Or have Baker Bloch buy it for me.
bb:
They obviously have a deep love of the virtual landscape around them, Hucka D.
Stunning stuff on the top 2 floors as well (3 and 4 of the gallery). Here’s a shot of the gallery itself from the bottom.
Unkiosked as well. How many fantastical “unregistered” galleries are like this in Second Life? I’ve run across quite a few already. And it makes me think that this gallery, this land of XEMOR, is part of an ancient energy running along at least the center of the eastern part of the Korean Channel, which might also include this Cheosan gallery, likewise sans kiosk. And the defunct The Art Gallery Shaped Like A Woman also (formerly) in Cheosan.

Baker finds a small paradise, somewhere east of the Korean Channel in a hidden bay. Hidden.

Biggie Island
“It was an island specifically set up to study the E. Big E. Biggie Island.”
bb:
Thanks for starting, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
You’re welcome.
bb:
Soooo. Is this where man changes to… sorry, monkey changes to man?
Hucka D.:
This is Monkey City.
bb:
I believe I have a bead on this[ line of inquiry], Hucka D. The E was lying on the ground when found. Later? The key is finding the island itself on the Big E, or half the island that is in the Korean Channel — the Pleiablo sim. A tiny bit also intrudes into Wylder.
Hucka D.:
That’s the part you can’t see. That’s what they, the “monkeys”, had to figure out. What happened to the missing bit. They had to find it on another part of the map, and that’s when it all begin to fall apart. Sorry once more…
bb:
That’s all right.
Hucka D.:
Fall into place, I meant to say. Sorry (playfully adjusts sides of bee mouth).
bb:
Now to clarify for the reader, just beyond this island is where Karoz fell into the portal connecting Jeogeot and Maebaleia. He entered the Blue Feather Sea from the Korean Channel. Here’s the post:
http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/to-the-inland-sea-once-more-2/
bb:
Karoz’s Inland Sea is the same as our Korean Channel.
Hucka D.:
Correct. Karoz created the fuchsia diamond, 32 primmed, and flung it into this sea as a young lad, still Sapphire’s precious Aquamarine and not yet rebellious Aqua Teen. Or maybe this is where all that started, the rebel forming or shaping. Being molded. Bill.
bb:
Then he also found this same “E” in the Blue Feather Sea. Here, again:
http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/e/
Hucka D.:
This is what Chilbo was looking for. Or should have been looking for. The wave has crashed; bit too late now. Maybe for Jeogeot as a whole. But there’s the new energy.
bb:
Yes: Simple.
Hucka D.:
New indications. Biggie Island may be related to the ultra-mysterious Rodeo Island as well, don’t you think?
bb:
May be, Hucka D. The Bee. May be.
Hucka D.:
This is where monkey changes to man. Insert Oblong 10 and 11 or 11 and 10 please.
bb:
Thanks:
The map of the Isle of [Man] is superimposed on top of the monkey in Oblong 11 (second collage), while in Oblong 10 the island remains behind him. Is *this* Biggie Island, then?
Hucka D.:
Yes (!)
bb:
And the monolith is obviously the “E” itself in this case. It would look that way from the channel, except sideways.
Hucka D.:
The dark, opaque spine of the E, you mean.
bb:
Yes.
Hucka D.:
Who found it… monkeys?
bb:
Whatever, when it was found monkey symbolically changes to man, and Isle of Man is superimposed on Monkey[ City?]. Green Gables peak of the Lake District is highlighted as well, since the island sits atop it in Oblong 11.
Hucka D.:
And Oblong 10.
bb:
Right.
bb:
So…
Hucka D.:
So the key is the Box of Oblong passing between the 2 monoliths in Oblong 11, both the [mirrored] graves of St. Burl of Ives. The mirrored part is the “e” side and the “schwa” side of the Big E itself in this case. On this case.
bb:
When Monkey realizes the relationship of the front and the back of the E itself, then it is passed through, like the green Oblong box containing, er, all the letters of the word OBLONG within, according to our analysis at the time.
Hucka D.:
I wasn’t around then.
bb:
Oh, right. Even S.F. wasn’t around at that time. Just a little before.
Hucka D.:
A bit. Bite.
bb:
The green Oblong box is also obviously representative of Ireland, the Emerald Island. The gravestone just to its left in [Oblong 11] is one of Ireland[ surname], and similar in size and shape.
Hucka D.:
Same.
bb:
So we have moved beyond Isle of Man to Ireland, heading more westward. And Ireland is on the map in Oblong 10, the northern part anyway.
Hucka D.:
The southern part would be behind the mountain. The green Oblong box is the southern part behind the mountain moved forward, just like the Isle of Man[ before it?].
bb:
Mysteries of death itself? What happens when a Man dies?
http://www.casttv.com/video/iyxd1b/ballykissangel-assumpta-s-death-video
Hucka D.:
Don stepped outside. 21.
bb:
The mountain the monkey and his dog are on is S.F.: Seathwaite Fell.
Hucka D.:
None other.
bb:
Carrcass-6 has a lot of Irish stuff in it, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
And Carrcass-5. Carcassonne.
Carcassonne:
Yes?
Hucka D.:
Carrcass-5 and 6?
Carcassonne:
All. Front and back. Side and side. Man and Monkey. Too. All. Two. All.

Additional thoughts for tonight:
When the Big E was found in Haebyon, it was kept a secret because when “monkey changed to man”, they knew it was from the future. The future should not be tampered with — the Big E was there because it was locked into the formation of the Korean Channel in the future (early 2008). It was eventually taken to Meddletown (?) Oh… *that* makes sense because of 2001-Echoes (!).
http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/monkey-shock/
And strangely I’ve just been in contact with Mike Johnston mentioned therein after several years. I think he would like *this* synchronicity.
Here’s the whole category on Meddletown on this blog:
http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/category/jeogeot-continent/meddletown/
It’s all starting to piece together. More soon!
—–
IT WAS TAKEN TO YEODEOL AND SORTED OUT. DIRECTLY EAST OF THE ISLAND AND PART OF MEDDLETOWN, ANCIENT RANGE. FROM THIS THE YEO LINE OF 26 SIMS WAS MANIFESTED TO PREDICT THE CHANNEL. FROM THE BOTTOM OF THESE SIMS EXTENDED ANOTHER 26 WEST TO FORM THE RIGHT ANGLE CORE OF JEOGEOT ITSELF, WHICH HAD ONLY FORM-ED-ED UP TO THE RIFT. [So] the E was taken from Pleiablo directly west to Meddletown — Yeodeol — and sorted into the various letters. They wouldn’t have found T, V, Y, and C, but of course they would have been implied. SURE ABOUT THAT? Warring parties over the E — FLOYD and ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOOPQRSTUVWXYZ? YES.

The remarkably warm and snow free winter weather continues here in the mountains. I took advantage today with a medium sized hike, despite some rain and drizzle at times. Discovered yet another creek, this time just down the road from Norris — about a mile. Nice rocks at the head and all down it, but I didn’t have a chance to explore much this day. Most was spent on Norris itself, including a revisit to the Dongoba temple complex. No camera shots, though, mainly because of the possibility of rain. Don’t have a name for the new creek yet. Perhaps strangely, the online topo map I use is messed up around the location of the creek. Another type of “secret” stream? I’d promise photos of it soon, but with the days still short, and little time after work still for hiking, combined with the inevitable curtain of winter weather descending on our fair hamlet, I can’t say when I’ll get back. The center of my hiking mythos remains Allen Knob combined with neighboring Wealthy Mountain, but it spreads out from there into all of Frank and Herman Parks. For example, I’ve barely touched upon the existence of 3 important streams in west Frank Park (furthest from my home) called the Trident Creeks. All this should change in coming years if I keep this blog as the main place for my diary-style writings, which is a strong possibility even if Second Life goes bottom up in the meantime. That’s why I need to squeeze as much information and emotion out of Jeogeot and present SL as whole — before the inevitable conclusion. I’d say my experiences in that reality peaked about 2 years ago, and now I’m attempting to wind it all down while “residing” in Pietmond and perhaps even Teepot and Norum again before it’s all said and done. Time for Hucka D., most likely. “Hucka D.?”
Hucka D.:
You might be surprised with Jeogeot. It may be more long term than you expected.
bb:
But not the other continents?
Hucka D.:
The same [problem] existed with Wazob, which was isolated [pause].
bb:
From the rest of Mythos. Wazob being the equivalent of Jeogeot if Mythos is equated with Second Life, the mainland parts anyway.
Hucka D:
There is an equality [there].
bb:
But Wazob is dead, and so Jeogeot will die as well.
Hucka D.:
Wazob is not dead. Just de-energized a bit. As Jeogeot is and will continue to be [drained of energy]. The two depend on each other.
bb:
So let’s establish a rough timeline.
Hucka D.:
Good.
bb:
Jeogeot began… can you complete that sentence please?
Hucka D.:
Jeogeot began when it began.
bb:
Which was?
Hucka D.:
2006.
bb:
When was the Big E found on the Biggie Island?
Hucka D.:
2006.
bb:
And Meddletown formed in 2006.
Hucka D.:
2007.
bb:
When was the A-Z line running up and down Jeogeot created, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
2007.
bb:
And the Rift [between left and right Jeogeot]?
Hucka D.:
2006. (pause) 2007.
bb:
How about Chilbo?
Hucka D.:
2006. 2007.
bb:
How about Chilbol?
Hucka D.:
2001.
bb:
How is that possible?
Hucka D.:
Chilbol was formed with Norum, which was more central. Much more so. That’s where Karoz existed. Sapphire and Karoz when Karoz was her precious Aquamarine and not a rebellious Aqua Teen.
bb:
This was before Sapphire turned into both Lapis and Lazuli. LL, then. Linden Lab. The coming of the grid. There was a Jeogeot before the present Jeogoet.
Hucka D.:
Absolutely. Lemon Lab.
bb:
So Lemon Lab predated Lime, er, Linden Lab.
Hucka D.:
2001.
bb:
You’ve said before, from the direction of Lemon Lab, that Yd Island was the original location of the grid, and Ratzenberger the original sim, not DaBoom.
Hucka D.:
That’s right. From that direction.
bb:
When was Ratzenberger created?
Hucka D. (after a pause):
2001.
bb (after checking):
DaBoom was created in 2002. Interesting that people compare the “boom” to the Big Bang of Second Life, the place where all else expanded from.
Hucka D.:
Yd. Island, then Corsica, then Maebaleia, then Jeogeot but then stop.
bb:
Lemon Lab ruled what’s now known as the eastern hemisphere of the mainland.
Hucka D.:
Correspondence in each continent. Corisca to Heterocera, Maebaleia to Jeogeot.
bb:
And Sansara to Nautilus.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Kind of.
bb:
Corsica?
Hucka D.:
Corsica was seen as a more perfect continent than Nautilus which was too much water and shore and not enough interior. But in the modern agogo world of virtual reality, it may be perfect now itself. Interior is wasteland…
bb:
Like interior Jeogeot. Like interior Maebaleia.
Hucka D.:
Right. Those two especially.
bb:
Like Sunklands, then.
Hucka D.:
Sunklands is unique because that’s where the continents turn inside out a bit. They [the sinks?] are harbingers of a higher dimension.
bb:
When was Sunklands formed, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
Difficult to tell. (pause)
bb:
Did it start with the Big Ink incident.
Hucka D.:
Could be.
bb:
And that’s where Big Island from the Comet Archipelago[ of Azure Islands] rammed into Jeogeot, creating Big Sink. And… Big Sink is the same as The Sunkland in Missouri.
Hucka D.:
That is absolutely correct. Absolutely.
bb:
There is also the rumor that Big Sink is a synchronicity called 4orrin1 or, more generically I suppose, the Foreign One.
Hucka D.:
I’ve heard[ that rumor].
bb:
Is it true?
Hucka D.:
Yes (!) If the Big Ink incident is true then so is that.
bb:
Is it?
Hucka D.:
Maybe.
bb:
What exactly is Big Ink, then?
Hucka D.:
A ramming, as you said. Meteor. Comet. Maybe more comet. Or visa versa. A ramming nonetheless.
bb:
A locking into place.
Hucka D.:
Yes. United States and virtual reality. And carcasses. Carcassonne.
Carcassonne:
I am the all. I am the US and the us and the there and the here. I am Big Sink. I am Big Ink.
bb:
Are you 4orrin1, Carcassonne?
Carcassonne:
I am all Foreign Ones.
bb:
Let’s talk about Plant, Carcassonne and Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
A bit longer, then quit.
bb:
Little Robert Plant Variant — LRPV if you will — born in Nowtown, blew up Zen City, started his singing career in Sternberg, recruited to the Sunklands Initiative and gave up his Zeppelin tube, which seems to be the same as his Zeppelin career, became both 18 and 59 at once. The Zeppelin tube is in 4orrin1, Hucka D. (pause) Hucka D.? (pause) That seems to be it.

Agree to Disagree
“The Table will be built in Norum, baker b.”
bb:
It must be sturdy; not a wobbler.
Hucka D.:
It will contain 2000 tiles. Centerville.
bb:
The identity of The Table will become more clear with Carcass-7.
Carcassonne:
Yes. I am The Table.
bb:
Norum, eh?
Hucka D.:
Norum extended from your Maine to your Florida. Permeable; susceptible to invasion. Um, settlement. And they did. Runny noses and all, they came from your precious shores of England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
bb:
Hucka D.?
Carcassonne:
Norum, I’ve heard.
bb:
Yes, we may be moving. Hucka D. has indicated
[tape error; resume 10 minutes later]
justification of Norum, Carcassonne.
Carcassonne:
I’ll

Janet Jackson rented in that sim.
bb:
Thanks Hucka D. for that interesting bit of information. Is Janet Jack-
[tape error of 10 seconds]
brother was there as well.
bb:
Michael?
Hucka D.:
No.
Carcassonne:
False. Falsities, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Yes (smiles).
bb:
Norum is a circle of influence. Make that capitals: Circle of Influence. It came before Jeogeot, but it had the seed of Chilbo within, perhaps then called Chilbol or even Chilbolton itself.
Hucka D.:
Pixellation. Cows, roosters. Split of rock paths. Parrots, red and cyan.
bb:
This circle… Circle of Influence was a sphere… another world. Another solar system.
Hucka D.:
Chilbo was a planetoid, true.
Carcassonne:
False. Falsities.
Hucka D.:
No.
bb:
And Crabwoo too.
Hucka D.:
Crabwoo is Chilbo intensified. Octavized.
Carcassonne:
No.
Hucka D. (countering):
Yes.
Carcassonne:
I do not see that.
bb:
Norum is Dark Side of the Moon, or Dark Side of the Rainbow. Jeogeot is Oz. Norum is a measurement. 36. Like the 36-Triangle. Manifestation.
Hucka D.:
Norum is the Schwa to the E. The E turned around to the interior of the continent. Planet…
Carcassonne:
So many lies. So many falsehoods.
Hucka D.:
No.
Carcassonne:
He needs to know the truth.
bb:
Norum is a sphere, a starry sphere. Fulfilled by the Howl’s Moving Castle version of the Blue Feather Gallery. Strongest when set right on border of Chilbo. But Chilbo reacts — get Norum and its own welcoming center outta here. Chilbo wants clones of itself.
Hucka D.:
Fundamental error.
Carcassonne:
False. Chilbo should Take Over.
Hucka D.:
No. Norum counteracts. I told baker b. long ago not to get too involved with the Chilbo timelines. Chilbo wants — wanted clones.
bb:
Pietmond is a clone. A reflection.
Hucka D.:
No.
Carcasssonne:
No.
Hucka D.:
We agree (!)
Carcassonne:
Yes. Pietmond is The Table.
bb:
Not Norum?
Hucka D.:
We agree in Pietmond. We disagree everywhere else, even Norum. You better stay in Pietmond[ for now].
bb:
Thank you.

Synk Lynk!
“I may have found Dr. Blood, Hucka D. In the heart of Sunklands. I ran across him, when was it, last night I believe, or yesterday sometime anyways, and then tonight I come across him again kind of by accident. And the rainbow is behind him, like [with] Dark Side of the Rainbow [art]. Must be Mike Johnston’s influence again, don’t you think?”*
“Yeah,” says Hucka Doobie.
“Me Gods. I was looking for an image of the old Synchronicity Arkive logo and a picture of a former supervisor came up near the top, from her synchronicity related blog. I knew she was into meaningful coincidence, but it’s still pretty shocking to see her image pop up ‘accidentally’.
“But to the logo — oddly I couldn’t find the logo in the image search for “Synchronicity Arkive” and so just used the links page from one of my old synch sites:
http://www.appstate.edu/~brittanma/oldersites/introductionb.html
“Tell, you what, I’ll just give the link to the page itself, because the top three logos are based on the same image of a rainbow passing through the Tinman’s prism shaped funnel-hat, in resonance with the famous Dark Side of the Moon cover. Of course this has to do with Dark Side of the Rainbow, if you didn’t know. Wikipedia article here:”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Side_of_the_Rainbow
“I know what you’re talking about, baker b.,” states Hucka Doobie.
“Thanks!”
—–
* The web of meaningful coincidences tied into this Heart o’ Sunklands’ Tinman w/ rainbow is reinforced by the discovery of a flying witch on a broomstick just north and west of here, and found on the same biking trip tonight. Must represent his nemesis the Wicked Witch of the West don’t you think?
4th
Should be able to catch up with the creation of blog post texts this extended weekend.
Pietmond *might* last until March and even into early April. What projects to do, however, if it does? Norris gallery remains unfinished… Crooked Building: set up Pietmond Branch of Crabwoo University there? Sinkology?
The Table must be developed, and I’m not sure what role Pietmond will have in that. Started looking over The Table today, specifically the part belonging to The Beetles. The Beetles are the 4th most important artist or group of artists on this Table, audio side that is. Their mythology will be developed in a future carcass, perhaps Carcass-7 but maybe not as well.
The Table represents a history of music as I know it in general. And video. It is a snapshot of a particular time and place.
Gong represents another limitation, along with Teepot. Move back to Teepot? Is that where I’ll develop The Table in Second Life instead?
“No.”
bb:
There’s Mr. Hucka Doobie the Bee. Howdy.
Hucka D.:
Clean, cheap fun.
bb:
Pietmond.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Cut back on wine two days a week. Cut back on coffee. Cut back.
bb:
I’m planning to use the Pietmond money to buy toys, Hucka D., like model train track.
Hucka D.:
Make sure everything is wrapped up properly.
bb:
And The Table must be developed.
Hucka D.:
The Beetles[ and all].
bb:
Yes. Marty still around?
Hucka D.:
Yes. You will work with him again. Simpsons.
bb:
The good news is that, thanks to the expansion of the mythology surrounding Frank and Herman Parks — protected parks after all — the Baker Blinker Blog will continue even if Second Life went bottom up tomorrow. It would slow down, true.
Hucka D.:
You would find other virtual realities to explore.
bb:
I don’t think I plan to. Except maybe for GoogleEarth.
Hucka D.:
Good.
bb:
But I must begin to focus on The Table.
Hucka D.:
So you’ve said.
bb:
Working out… toward the edge.
Hucka D.:
Have you found the 4th yet?
bb:
Um, no.
Hucka D.:
You better start looking (!) That is the lip[ of the hole].
bb:
Crawling or climbing out of Pietmond equals climbing out of the hole that is The Table?
Hucka D.:
Sinkhole. Synch Hole.
bb:
Maybe draw some impressions of Pietmond.
Hucka D.:
You will have to go to the town council for any further destructions and constructions, baker b.
bb:
Carcassonne?
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
Anyone else?
Hucka D.:
Maybe Marty. Maybe Warren Zeevon. Maybe The Bill. Maybe Lemmon. Maybe Plant. Bring them back. That’s your Table.
bb:
The Beetles are The 4th
—–
Marty is also leader of the toy avatar grouping at Money Pot now. BUILD THE TABLE THERE. The Table becomes all important. CARCASSONNE. Look over photos of Norum, Pietmond, Teepot?
—–
Marty becomes defacto leader of the toys after the death of Lisa the Vegetarian at the Jonesborough Compound. He orders the evacuation of the compound when Money Pot is found, a 1000000 dollars buried within so the rumors fly. DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS THE MONEY? Michael Won buried the money there — that’s what Michael Too was scared about. SACRED. Houston we have a problem. YOU BETTER FIND OUT IF THE MONEY IS THERE. MARTY MAY THINK SO. Maybe Stan and Sid and Spit and Sue are looking for that money. WHAT ELSE. Sid would know — he would vibrate around money. He could feel it deep underground. Shrink way way down. Totally different set of rules. CARCASS-7.
—–
Marty:
We begin today for several minutes. baker b., explain the numbering system of the carcasses. Why not call them by their real names?
bb:
The term carcass is used to describe [delete name] within this blog.
Marty:
There it goes again (!) Self editing.
Lemmon:
OHMMMMM.
bb:
OK, sorry. Carcasses are [delete name]. No use. But there are the word for *that* within the blog. We are within the blog now, so the word can’t be written. Not really. Carcasses start with the advent of this blog, or early 2008. Carcass-1 is the first carcass produced by me while working on the blog as well. This would be late 2008. Carcass-2 and Carcass-3 formed in 2009. Carcass-4 in 2010, just before the founding of Pietmond itself. Carcass-5 came along this past summer, and then Carcass-6 right after that, ending in September. Carcass-7, I project, will be formed sometime in 2012, perhaps along with even another carcass.
All carcasses before this blog have a positive number instead of a negative number. The last carcass created before the Baker Blink Blog is Carcass-0. The carcass before that is Carcass+0. The carcass before that, even, is Carcass+1, which may be the largest of all. The one before that, Carcass+2, is also pretty large but not as much. Carcass+1 and Carcass+2 together probably form the peak of carcass creations, and this would be late 2006 and early 2007. Marty, you would be involved in, for example, Carcass+3, very similar to Carcass+2, and then Carcass+2. You would be involved in one tile of Carcass-1. You would be involved in several tiles of Carcass-3, and this would also be the time of your involvement with the Baker Blinker Blog through Sunklands, along with Plant. Plant belongs in Carcass-3 as well — you two are the main driving force of this smaller carcass. It also probably represents the peak of Second Life influence on the carcasses, which start to grow larger again after this but not as large as pre-blog carcasses. Not yet at least. You and Plant are different in that you are blog spirits but also the major artists in a carcass. You are sort of a link between the two, then. When Carcass-3 was finished, I did not need either you or Plant afterwards. Not really, once more. This is one of the few times you’ve showed up in the meantime.
Marty:
I’m here at the request of Dr. Blood, whom I understand you [just] met in the heart of Sunklands, baker b. Tin S. Man.
bb:
I suppose I [just] did, yes.
Marty:
What is Sin City? Or Sinsity?
bb:
I believe it may be a psychic reflection of Chilbo west toward WESity. Your city after all.
Marty:
Yes, Lemmon and I played in WES. That’s where I was recruited by Dr. Blood to take part in the Sunkland Initiative. Plant came from the direction of, let me see, Sternberg I believe.
bb:
Originally Nowtown and Zen City, but they’re basically suburbs of Sternberg. *Were* suburbs. None of these places really exist now, except for the old core of Sternberg.
Marty:
I wonder if records still exist there of Plant’s stay. I’m not sure about WES and The Beetles. You have some photographs I understand. Sternberg, the city, was our drummer. Red. Dr. Blood.
bb:
Let’s see: WES or WESity was founded by a man who obviously, unconsciously knew of Carcass+2, Marty. His former club was in a MASH related sim[ name], and he also mentioned the desire to run a lemonade stand [in his SL profile] and then also quoted from Peewee’s Big Adventure [in same]. MASH represents mashup. Carcass+2.
Marty (pondering):
I can see this some, thanks to Dr. Blood. We, The Beetles, are at the end of Carcass+3. The End. And then at The Beginning of Carcass+2.
bb:
Kind of.
Marty:
This would be Abbey Road.
bb:
Yes.
Marty:
But Flattop is a mountain?
bb:
Yes. It is Yards Mountain. It use to be the most sacred of all Frank and Herman Park mountains, but I’m not so sure any more. It is a supposed place of contact. Like Devil’s Mountain, of course. Devil’s Tower, I mean.
Marty:
The End circles back to The Beginning. Grooving up slowly, this old flattop is. I thought the lyrics were nonsense… Lemmon didn’t tell me their meaning.
Lemmon:
The Bill. PAY THE BILL. (laughs loudly)
bb:
Come Together would be the coming together of the 2 who are to visit Devil’s Tower and witness the contact. The “over me” part of coming together would be the Tower itself. They are both creating art with representations of this mountain.
Hucka D. (entering):
Sorry I’m late. Apple cart spill over on Route 9, phew. Do you mind, actually, if I grab an okra cola soda before we begin?
bb:
We’ve already begun.
Hucka D.:
Oh. So you won’t miss me a bit more (smiles; gets up to go to okra coke machine).
Plant:
Marty must understand before the rest of us can understand.
Marty:
I understand that contact must be made. We must Come Together.*
bb:
And that’s your only role in Carcass+2. You’re not used in Carcass+1. But you’re back, certainly, in Carcass+-0. Realm of Lemmon for sure.
Lemmon:
UNCLE MEATWAD!

This has been erroneously reported as the last track on which all four Beatles played together at the session; that record actually belongs to, appropriately enough, “The End,” recorded on August 8, 1969.
Cayce Do You Mind
“Where is The Table located?”
“We don’t know,” replies Marty. Others mumble to the same effect.
“What is its shape?”
Same kind of response.
Hucka D. pipes up. “You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man, formerly of Green Oz Creek and Tinsity. A million dollar Money Pit was buried at this location, then moved. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty is in charge of The Table, or its chairperson. Marty?”
“We don’t know,” he says again, then blushes, realizing he was several lines behind once more. “Uh-hmm,” he utters and adjusts the large volume of papers in his hands, knocking them hard several times against The Table to get the edges straight again. Then he begins thumbing through them nervously; beginning to sweat. Definitely an awkward pause in the action tonight.
—–
Hucka D.:
Well, since Marty isn’t quite ready I’ll pipe up again. You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man of Tinsity fame, with a 1000000 dollar Money Pit near his home. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty?”
bb:
Excuse me Hucka D. but we’ve already been through this.
—–
The others start to laugh a bit now, and even Marty chuckles some while still trying to [also] get his act together.
—–
I’ll write privately as well, then. Silly variants, hehe.
—–
Dr. Blood:
I am here once more. I am unhappy.
bb:
Dr. Blood (!) Nice to see you around again. Long time.
Dr. Blood:
Not really. Just night before last.
bb:
Oh, you mean Tin S. Man found in the Heart o’ Sunklands.
Dr. Blood:
Beating heart, yes. Still alive, despite your attempts to kill. Chop an arm off there, a leg there, another leg here. Next will be my head. Next will be my heart.
bb:
Are you in charge of the Aotearoa Sink, Dr. Blood?
Dr. Blood:
I am the creator of organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart[ because of it]. I just wanted to show you that. I am the organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart in a way. I simply wanted to demonstrate that… I am the organizer of creation. I am the creator. I am. I.
bb:
Marty is fascinated with his role in The Table. Lemon — not so much.
Dr. Blood:
Marty and The Beetles are more subtly linked. Lemon doesn’t have the close identity. He does to The Beetles as you are trying to do with Sunklands. You don’t understand how long term it will be.
bb:
The Beetles show up most of all, perhaps, in Carcass+, lemee see, Carrcass+6. I had to count backwards in me head there.
Dr. Blood:
OK.
bb:
There is an association between the Sea of Green, famously found in the single Yellow Submarine, and Green Pond, New Jersey. The house involved is painted yellow, and it sits on the shores of this pond… er, lake.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Pond,_New_Jersey
Dr. Blood:
It is the yellow submarine. It has the friends all aboard. Rocking there are Joe, then Fin, then Olivia. Living a life of ease. They are playing, not a band with a trumpet, but just playing, having fun. Every one of them is all they need. It is the yellow submarine. The [yellow] train Joe and Fin chase is another type of yellow submarine. They drive parallel to it; they are the train which is the submarine. They too are having fun there. But they both need Olivia as well and she needs them. It’s just a very nice movie. Very profound in a subtle way.
bb:
Thanks for all that (!) The Beetles, however, trace the whole story of the movie. They are, one could say, locked in with the movie through these 5 songs, Yellow Submarine being the 5th. Balancing it out on the other side of [Carrcass+6] is Eleanor Rigby, the flip side of Yellow Submarine.
Dr. Blood:
Eleanor Rigby is about loss. For Fin, it is loss of his boss, his co-worker, his friend. He must make a long journey and find new friends. He must find a New Land. Newfoundland. Inherited from this same boss, co-worker, friend. But they are lonely in this New York City suburb on the New Jersey side. Hoboken I believe. The shop they work at, a hobby shop, must close now. Fin must make new friends in a New Land.
bb:
So, let’s see, next comes “Drive My Car”.
Dr. Blood:
So where does the lonely person Fin belong? That is the posed question. Where do they all come from, and where do they belong. The movie, however, immortalizes their actions. The movie tells the story of Anyman, who dies and leaves nothing, perhaps, but also something. He is not a Nowhere Man. He leaves something to Fin, and Fin carries on. Fin is an explorer. Fin is a great adventurer. Fin is acting through the soul of his friend. We trace a direct line from Eleanor Rigby to Yellow Submarine through the whole movie. Loneliness to Friendship.
bb:
Thanks. And then “Drive My Car”?
Dr. Blood:
Meeting between Fin and Olivia. Olivia almost runs over Fin not once but twice. These are also the two verses of the song. She can’t drive[ her car]. She is absent minded, spilling hot coffee on her, fiddling around with the groceries. She is unfocused. It is also Olivia and Joe, who she drives to see Fin. She remains uncommited to friendship to the two. Then we have an unexpected shift to Flubber for the final verse. Dr. Brainard too is unfocused, and runs into an apple tree with his car, now flying, or attempting to fly. Flying car represents a yellow submarine again: opposites. Powered by flubber. Olivia is the driver. Joe has no car. Fin has no car. “Flying” is directly attached, then, to “Drive My Car.”
bb:
The Beetles song “Flying”, from Magical Mystery Tour. The only song credited to all 4 Beetles. Their “Dyer Maker”, then (smiles).
Dr. Blood:
[Deepening] the segue to Magical Mystery Tour, after we see [Dr.] Brainard hovering over his girfriend and his rival [from Rutland College] for her hand [ after he straightens out the flying part], we then have the song “Magical Mystery Tour” itself. All aboard for the magical mystery tour is all aboard for Alvin Straight’s magical trip across the bulk of Iowa to see his brother Lyle in western Wisconsin, to make up for bad blood in the past. Alvin is dying — he knows that. Alvin drives a riding mower across Iowa. He too doesn’t have a car and makes do with what he does have. One riding mower goes kaputt; he buys another. This is all his money. Rutland is a linking word. Rutland… Rutles. Beetles parody.
http://www.zappinternet.com/video/ReDqBuwLuj/The-Rutles-Tragical-History-Tour
bb:
That’s so great (!)
Dr. Blood:
You must go to Rutland. Erik Idle is The Rat.
bb:
Yes (!)
Coolie
Coolie Building being developed in central Pietmond. Details soon.
In other Pietmond news, I’m abandoning the idea of further condensing the “Jeogeot Through Art and Word” exhibit to make it fit into the new Blue Feather Gallery. The project, now 1 1/2 years old, has probably run its course. So in with the Coolie Building and out with Jeogeot Through Art and Word.
In 3 weeks I must make another decision about Pietmond. Expendable, perhaps, is the whole Syncher’s Row (sorry Mike, Stegocat, and, well, me, baker b.) although I’ll probably keep the Norris Gallery around. Also going will be the whole Temple of TILE, the TILE Towers, and all of Pietmond Heights. Make a Pietmond historical museum out of what’s now the SoSo West Gallery. Might as well just start condensing now, or planning on it. Believe I can shrink Pietmond to the next tier rather easily by dividing the town cleanly in half and getting rid of the western side.
I also have the option, then, of buying a 4096 elsewhere.
The Galactic Gallery could return and even be expanded.
Sunklands
