I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

"Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison."
-- Heinrich Heine

I had forgotten I still had this beautiful huge Southern Victorian mansion. So I took it out of the mothballs and dusted it down and put it out. There is lots of space on the top floor to add rooms and there is a ladder that goes to the top of the roof; a full wrap around porch and a full basement, a huge kitchen and living room with a giant study and spiral stairs. Check it out, you might like it. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Wanted: A few more Clan Leaders for the Vampire RP(G) in Thornhollow, in Neverworld Grid - http://hg.neverworldgrid.com:8002/Thornhollow/117/129/39
Clan Leaders are entitled a nice parcel to share or not share with your followers.

I used to regularly post a list of recent helpers (and also promoted their regions). I haven't been doing that for a month or more. I'm going to start doing those acknowledgements again, for people whose help I can easily track -- people responding to posted requests.

Unfortunately. much of the help is being done in group chat. You know, group chat, where the comments scroll away out of sight, much like the front page box -- a problem this group, with posts, was supposed to cure.

What do posts have that chat doesn't? Threaded conversations. Conversations anyone can read, follow, and easily understand, and benefit from, at any time. Chat is just one endless stream. I just can't read all that to make out who all is being helpful.

I'm not quite sure yet what to say about why people are using chat instead of posting. It seems to be a way for people, who are largely non-helpers, to engage the small group of helpers more quickly. However, overall, I think it's detrimental to the group.

What would really be helpful is if people responded to requests made in chat by saying "please post that in the group." However, I'm bemused, and resigned to the group doing what it does, regardless of the original purpose and process of requesting and getting help.

This is my last outfit for now, I'm treating myself to some vacation and rest as well as time for myself. I wish you all a nice summer and see you soon.

Today is a great day for a little Odyssey. "When light bounces off of something and is reflected back into a human’s eyes, we perceive color. For millennia, color has been one of the elements of art that artists use to render the world as they see it." When you view the colors the Mind Odyssey artists display, such as Nyx Breen, you will see a dance of color and movement. Make sure you take the time to spend here and appreciate the artists of OpenSim.

Signs of life in a desolate place...

"Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget..."
-- Don Henley, Glenn Frey
