The appearance of the strange eyes over Iowa is perhaps synchronized
by the enclosing skull-like cloud formation to the
Hungry Eyes
selection that comes standard on each Cloud Visions page. The result is comically
suggestive of "disaster", such as the jiggers-we're-screwed crash of '29.
Iowa Eyes of a Veiled Ghost talking
with a Kansas man.
Here the veiled one has a grip on the Mississippi, and seems to be about to operate.
The veil itself may have been suggested by the fanciful piece to the left,
which I constructed for fun several years ago, and which was associated
with "Hot Springs" in Cloud Visions 27.
Today the features of the sons of the American Revolution are better
represented in the areas where
the veiled ghost is written large
in the mist.
Note how one corner of the wig falls over Clemson University in South Carolina
where Dr. Donald D. Clayton, author of Principles of Stellar Evolution
and Nucleosynthesis, resides. I am featured falling with long hair heart-first on
Clemson University
in the very first page of
Weather Visions. I got into the habit of wearing a four-dollar Dillons Halloween
wig for a night-cap in the mid-1990s to
recapture that sex hound in the lap of luxury feeling. It's the be-your-own-wife do-it-yourself
solution to divorce
woes, and makes me look a good deal like my first wife, and years younger.
Viewing the AngelSide facet of
one's personality, one seems to foil loss of consort while in the
isolated grip of the Count of Monte Cristo.
However, I could take the thing off
during the day and return to my usual male self, featuring me as a professional,
an athlete and a hero. However, the Almighty appeared to me perhaps twice
as Moses from the cloud tops in a Charlton Heston beard next to a collie dog wearing a floppy
sombrero, to kid me concerning my style the preceding night with the wig on.
Today I pick up advisory
images of myself like the one above in the turbulent mirror, perhaps as a consequence
of keeping a few old long-haired gifs and Flash exercises visible. By 1998, I had upgraded
to a better-quality
Hollywood wig, as shown in Visionary. As for Albertson's across the street, they went broke
selling Halloween black beards instead of wigs. A white beard donned to cover the flaws of an
aging face (ala Timothy Leary)
might sell better. The above veiled
image also reminds me of the Veil
Nebula in Cygnus,
including a ribbon of speech
from the swan song of Orion pressed to the lips of his amused profile.
The
Movie Star wig I eventually ordered for further improvement
did not seem to be as long and
full as I expected, so that I have never outdone my 1998 Hollywood Safari Expedition wig.
Ghost Plane
Today we had a cloudy ghost plane west of the WSU campus with a long, well-defined fuselage and a tail,
but having wings stretching forwards and terminating with paws, suggesting "Rocky the
Flying Squirrel". It was being ridden by a single rider with a beak like a KU Jayhawk
and a wild haircut like a WSU Wheat Shocker.
