Baffled:June 6, 2026

 Open to Interptetation

#Baffled

Game on...on the radio...Angels at Dodgers...Yamamoto pitching for Dodgers...the feeds' favorite is the polygonal walls...then, that may just be my algorithm, tailoring my favorite pauses...suiting things to me...looking up yt on how to use my new Canon T7, subsequently, photog videos...thought to go to Golden West swapmeet, walkabout for exercise, take the camera along, a walkabout!...haven't done that in awhile-of late, being wordy, rather than imagy...but I couldn't find the SD Card camera came with, I think...somewhere in the clutter I have some others...Neto up...cat feeding in two parts now: one bowl indoors for Little and Tucker, then the usual three bowls, three in morning, three at night, for the Outside Gang...at night, one bowl for Eugene and Emily inside...left overs for the Opossum, and Raccoon...polygon waĺls...I found an old scholars paper, Greek Walls...

🎶found it thru an AI search: Lesbian Greek Walls...Ohtani up... polygon walls on island Lesbos...1941...runs out a chopper...and Pages waps a homerun...Angels 1-Dodgers 2...

Oh, the polygons are a coloration...like tuxedo coloration in animals...there's a Harvard scholars paper, 1941, titled Greek Walls, on line: search: Lesbian Walls Greek Walls...early name from walls on Island of Lesbos...it's morphogenisis...peripeheral intelligence...see octupus tentacles...the general idea is stones come from loose random ones...similar sizes then matched with similar shapes...a refinement was to carve the stones to fit tight...to transfer the irregular edges, a strip of lead was used-this because Aristotle noted the difference between countries could be bettered like using a lead strp...or some such...how they move the big stones, or the why of them, I duuno...just watched ArchaeologyEd's yt take on Chaco Canyon Great Houses...rubble with veneer masonry...Chaco folk didnt live in them, but once a year they worked on them, dragged by hand pine trees from distant mountains to build them...and, they were astronomically aligned...the walls can be said to be forts, utilitarian, but a lot of them go together with cosmology-star lore...🍿

🎶Freeman on, Betts on...Muncie up...comment, a reach!, to yt vlog take on the Polygons...called OP...?..."watch over and over again"...deleted the comment-too much...I go overboard...Pages up again...what did Ohtani do second time up in this inning?...Freeman up...Oh...Ohtani hit a homerun...ground out...Angels 1-Dodgers 9...Little and Tucker get picked on by the out side Tuxedo Gang, reason to keep them seperate...otherwise they fight...

🧐✨️Aristotal governments lead strip
Aristotle noted that oligarchies and democracies are the most common but are prone to instability and revolution. He observed that the most stable societies rely heavily on a strong, large middle class. In political philosophy, a "ruler" or "lead strip" (an architectural measurement tool) is often used metaphorically to explain how Aristotle viewed the Rule of Law:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

🎶readsaid, Greeks used lead strips to transfer one stone's irregular sides to another...carpentry has a tool like that...

✨️contour gauge masonry polygonal walls
When building or modifying polygonal walls, a locking contour gauge is an essential tool for transferring irregular angles and complex curves directly onto stone or brick. It eliminates trial-and-error, ensuring a perfect, gap-free fit without relying on heavy mortar. [1, 2, 3]
How to Use a Contour Gauge for Polygonal Walls
1. Prepare the Gap: Fit the adjacent stones or blocks in your polygonal wall as tightly as you can, leaving an irregular gap that needs to be filled. [1]Press the Gauge: Align the pins of the contour gauge flush with the contours of the already-placed stones and push the gauge inward. The sliding pins will mold perfectly to the shape of the opening. [1]Lock the Shape: Secure the pins in place using the gauge's locking mechanism (often a lever or side set screw). This prevents the delicate shape from shifting while moving the tool. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Trace and Cut: Transfer the locked shape onto your new stone billet by tracing along the pins with a marker. Cut along the traced line using an angle grinder with a diamond masonry blade. [1, 2]

🎶welp, all over the world are stone, flint, tools, arrow heads, spear points-clovis points...not so long ago, SoCal was in the stone age...

🧐From the Channel Islands (California) there are cases where native americans heat up chert to make the process of chipping the tools more malleable. The heating process also gives the tools a luster that could be distinguished between non heat treated tools.[

✨️egyptians used heat to quarry stones

🎶Freeman up...bottom of fourth...Mookie up...they made soapstone bowls too...

✨️catalina indians
Santa Catalina Island was a major center of soapstone (steatite) quarrying and craftsmanship for the Tongva (also known as Gabrielino) people, as well as the Chumash. Their soapstone bowls—often called ollas—were highly prized for cooking, storage, and ceremonial uses, and became one of the most widely traded commodities in ancient California. [1, 2, 3, 4]

✨️california indians traded along coast from baja to alaska with canoes
California Indian tribes engaged in a massive trading network that spanned the Pacific Coast from Baja California to Alaska. Rather than single coastwise canoe voyages spanning the entire distance, goods were passed through an extensive relay system between neighboring groups. Coastal tribes utilized highly sophisticated canoes—such as the Chumash tomol (a sewn-plank boat made of redwood) and northern dugout canoes—to facilitate maritime trade and transport goods across these vast networks. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
While individual seafarers did not paddle all the way from Baja to Alaska, trade items traveled the entire length of the coast through inter-tribal exchange. [1]
Specific details on the dynamics of this extensive system include:
• The Relay System: Trade was accomplished by coastal groups interacting with their immediate neighbors. Goods were constantly bartered northward and southward, creating a contiguous supply chain that connected the Pacific Northwest, California, and the Baja peninsula. [1, 2, 3]California to Alaska Goods: Valuable items like clam disc shell beads from the San Francisco Bay Area flowed all the way up to Alaska. [1, 2]North to South Goods: Conversely, northern and Pacific Northwest tribes traded pelts, sinew-backed bows, and valuable stonework southward into California. [1]The Chumash Tomol: Native to the Southern California coast and the Channel Islands, the Chumash navigated treacherous open-ocean channels using the tomol, a sophisticated watercraft made of redwood planks lashed and sealed with natural asphaltum. These boats could carry heavy trade goods and multiple passengers, allowing for robust coastal and island commerce. [1, 2]

🎶famously, the Pacific currents make like a circle from Ecuador to the Phillipines, back to San Francisco, and back down...

✨️spanish sea route trade with asia from south america

🎶that for sometime...the Americas were a stone age culture without horses or oxen but still traded

✨️the Americas were a stone age culture without horses or oxen but still traded

🧐✨️pochteca

The Pochteca (singular: pochtecatl) were an elite guild of professional, long-distance traveling merchants in the Aztec Empire. In addition to controlling trade across Mesoamerica, they served as vital intelligence agents and spies for the Aztec kings, acting as the economic and logistical backbone of the empire. [1, 2, 3]
🎶spies!...a take I hadn't seen...
✨️ancient egyptian traders spy guild
🎶that for sometime too...again the Medjay pop up...to bottom of seventh...trade in obsidian, flint, steatite, soapstone...then there's fabrics...for sometime...oh, pyrite cubes...lapiz lazuli pyrite...salt cubes...they do, look like turtles-cockroaches...play by play waxing on cockroach incident in the dugout...funny clip, Godzilla Turtle on rampage in Tokyo inhabited by cockroaches...Scarabs look like turtles too...beetles, bugs...crabs!...crabs said to be Nature's most popular morphology!...Seashells...it's a dangerous world...after the first inning, things settled down... Angels 1-Dodgers 9...bottom of eighth...Ohtani up...W...last at bat...Angels 2-Dodgers 9...
