This is Thomas Anon again,

 

First let me thank Fomenko anon for the video link & thank Damien of the intel world for his "Alice" discovery near the Roosevelt.

 

So of course I looked at this "Alice".

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sculptures_in_Central_Park

 

"One large sculpture depicts Alice, from Lewis Carroll's 1865 classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The statue is located on East 74th Street on the north side of Central Park's Conservatory Water. Alice is pictured sitting on a giant mushroom reaching toward a pocket watch held by the White Rabbit. Peering over her shoulder is the Cheshire cat, flanked on one side by the dormouse, and on the other by Mad Hatter, who in contrast to the calm Alice looks ready to laugh out loud at any moment. Publisher and philanthropist George T. Delacorte Jr. ordered the sculpture from José de Creeft, in honor of Delacorte's late wife, Margarita, and to the enjoyment of the children of New York. Unveiled in 1959, de Creeft's sculpture tries to follow John Tenniel's whimsical Victorian illustrations from the first edition of the book. According to various sources, Alice is said to look like de Creeft's daughter Donna. The Alice in Wonderland project's architects and designers were Hideo Sasaki and Fernando Texidor, who inserted some plaques with inscriptions from the book in the terrace around the sculpture. Margarita's favorite poem, "The Jabberwocky" is also included; chiseled in a granite circle surrounding the sculpture:

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe

The design of the sculpture attracts many children who want to climb its many levels, resulting in the bronze's glowing patina, polished by thousands of tiny hands over the years since the sculpture was unveiled. It was cast at Modern Art Foundry Astoria Queens NY. The sculpture was in the music video of Slick Ricks Children's Story."

 

Did anons catch the name where it was cast?

 

And before I go looking into the rabbit hole, I have some observations I want to share with anons reading this.

 

1 - Is the "foundation" (rolling eyes) another charitable foundation.

 

2 - What does that little "poem" = twinkle etc REALLY means?

 

3 - Did the anons notice where the statue is resting upon? I tried to look for pictures of many angles but couldn't. And I also tried to look at pictures taken from the air of the statue, I also didn't find any. Why am i so interested in the circle?

 

Well anons, if you look closely, this disk is no coincidence. I have tones of questions swerling my head about it: How many "pieces" there are about it, from the pictures I've seen, it looks like the circle is made out 24 parts. Can anyone living near give us a visual confirmation, please?

 

So why do i think it's important, well, I think it's symbolic. i mean we have 24 hours per day. And if you take 2 pieces at a time, we have 12 hours = so is this a clock? And we also can have the 12 signs of the zodiac. I wonder if there are any signs or inscriptions of that circular platform or around on the bench area or on the trees? And we also could have the 12 months of the year. As well as the 4 seasons of the year. And we also can have the 4 cardinal points as in North-South-East-West.

 

I'm not saying this is the case, I'm saying this needs to be checked out, verified. A compass is needed anons as well in order to see the "direction" or "orientation" of the statue: is it facing East? West? or any other direction? A

 

I also want to know the AXIS of the statue. By that I mean if you look at it's location from above, does it axis cross with the hotel? And if the Rockefeller building is near by, does it cross with that? Or maybe does it cross with other statues or "monuments" in central park. In my reading about the "Alice" statue, I've noticed some "other" stuff in cetral park.

 

I'm asking all of these questions about the axis of the Alice statue because i want to see if we can reconstruct an image or symbol seen from above, like the Vatica "key" and how Wash. DC. monuments are place strategicially.

 

And I was wondering the latitude could also have a meaning. Just like the latitude where JFK was shot and killed, that one had a meaning?

 

So if any anon reading this wants to help, that would great.

As I was looking for other "Alice" statues around the word, just out of curiosity, these, in the U.K. caught my attention. Mostly the one crossing the ARCH. That reminded me of the Arch of St-Louis. Is the arch used as some sort of dimensional passage way or doorway; you know, going from one dimension to another, or from one realm to another?

 

is this what we are seeing in St-Louis and in the Alice Statue of the U.K?

 

now this was a little side note from my part.

I naturally went to see Delacourt Jr. but found nothing interesting. I then went to check on the sculptor José de Creeft.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_de_Creeft

 

"José Mariano de Creeft (November 27, 1884 - September 11, 1982) was a Spanish-born American artist, sculptor, and teacher known for modern sculpture in stone, metal, and wood, particularly figural works of women.[1][2] His 16 ft bronze Alice In Wonderland climbing sculpture in Central Park is well known to both adults and children in New York City. He was an early adopter, and prominent exponent of the direct carving approach to sculpture. He also developed the technique of lead chasing, and was among the very first to create modern sculpture from found objects. He taught at Black Mountain College, the Art Students League of New York, and the New School for Social Research. His works are in the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and many other public and private collections.[1][3][4] "

 

"José de Creeft was born in Guadalajara, Spain, on November 27, 1884 to Mariano de Creeft y Masdeu and Rosa Champane y Ortiz. Four years later the family moved to Barcelona. In 1890, when his father died leaving the family destitute, de Creeft, his mother and two sisters moved in with an aunt. At six years of age, de Creeft took his first job earning pennies by carrying stone and sand at the construction site of La Sagrada Familia, designed and built by the architect Antonio Gaudi. "

 

>>> Sagrada Familia cathedral is one of the creepiest places I've ever been in my life. I personally didn't like it one iota.

 

"In 1905, he moved to Paris. Upon the recommendation of Ignacio Zuloaga, and with the concurrence of Rodin, he entered the Académie Julian where he studied for two years. He opened his first studio at 14 rue Chamberry before establishing a second studio at the Bateau Lavoir in Montmartre, where he interacted with Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Manolo, and Pablo Gargallo, who also had studios there. During this period, de Creeft befriended the artist Mateo Hernandez"

 

>>> My personal opinion, I dislike big time Picasso and Salvador Dali, I found their work "disturbing". That is just me anons.

 

"De Creeft was awarded the Grand Prix in the 1906 Concours de Sculpture exhibition at the Académie Julian for his piece in clay, "Torso," which was the first recognition he had ever received for his work.[9]

 

After a time in Spain, he returned to Paris in 1909, where he exhibited for the first time at the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français, showing a bronze head of a man and a plaster bust of a child. From 1909-1928 he exhibited periodically at the Société des Artistes Français, Société d’Encouragement Aux Artes, Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Salon d’Automne, Salon des Artes, Salon des Tuileries, Salon des Artes Indépendents, Exposición de Bellas Artes, Salon des Humoristes, and the Exposición de Artes Decorativas y Industriales Modernas"

 

>>> Such high honors for such a young man. Lucky guy, maybe not.

 

"From 1911-14 he was employed at the workshop of La Maison Greber, learning traditional techniques of reproducing sculpture in stone with pointing machines known as "mise aux point". In 1915, he eschewed the purely classical methods of sculpture which consisted of copying from plaster models and enlarging with a pointing machine. He began using the technique of "taille directe", or direct carving. He referred to this method of carving as “pure sculpture.” Inspired by modernism, de Creeft destroyed all his previous casts, molds, and clay pieces. When he had destroyed all but two pieces, his friend Julio de Diego came to visit him. They took the remaining two sculptures outside to the traffic circle surrounding the Arc de Triomphe and placed bets on which car would hit which sculpture. "

 

"In 1925, de Creeft developed another new technique, now known as found object, or assemblage art, when he was asked to create a piece for the Gran Bal Español by the world-famous flamenco dancer Vicente Escudero. At the time, de Creeft was bedridden with fever and flu. Upon being told the piece must be ready in days, de Creeft dismantled his stove to create Le Picador, an eight-foot figure on horseback. Adding used tire tubes to depict the horse's intestines protruding from its belly, de Creeft paraded his piece through the streets of Paris to great acclaim and the event received worldwide press coverage."

"In 1929, de Creeft married an American, Alice Robertson Carr, in London. She had been one of his private students in Paris. While in Paris, Alice Carr also studied etching with de Creeft's friend Stanley W. Hayter. Later, she became well known for her bronze portraits of show and race horses. Alice Carr and José de Creeft traveled to the United States in June, 1929. This was de Creeft's first trip to America, and the newly married couple stayed with Alice's father."

 

>>> Is it a coincidence his wife's name is ALICE? Just wondering anons. And did anons catch the "Arc de Triomphe"? For those whom've been reading my drops, they already know it's not far from where Louis XVI was beheaded, at place de la Concorde where there is the Luxor Obelisk and that place is in the 8th arrondissement at the EAST of the Arc de Triomphe. See the symbolism anons?

 

"Santa Barbara, California became his home for three months during 1937 while he visited his wife and children. During that stay trip he exhibited watercolors and sculpture at the Faulkner Memorial Art Gallery, Santa Barbara, California."

 

" As war came to Spain and then the rest of Europe in the 1930s, many artists emigrated to the United States, and de Creeft was reconnected with a number of his artist friends from Spain, including Esteban Vicente, Luis Quintanilla Isasi, Salvador Dali. "

 

"In 1944, de Creeft taught in the notable summer program at Black Mountain College, North Carolina. During that term, he met his future wife, Lorrie Goulet, of Los Angeles, CA. who was studying there. They were married the following November in a ceremony performed by Society of Ethical Culture. While at Black Mountain College, de Creeft met the director and artist Joseph Albers, his wife Annie and the architect Walter Gropius (all formerly of the Bauhaus school) as well as the Spanish architect Josep Lluis Sert and the French artists Jean Charlot and Amedee Ozenfant. That same year he began teaching at The Art Students' League, was elected to Board of Directors of the Society of Independent Artists and had a solo exhibition at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia. "

 

"He was commissioned to do a bronze sculpture group of Alice In Wonderland, by George T. Delacorte Jr. as a memorial for his wife, Margarita in 1956. The 12’ x 16’ bronze work, near 74th street in Central Park, was dedicated by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses during a gala public event in 1959. The sculpture was intended to be climbed on by children. De Creeft's daughter, Donna Maria was the model for the face of Alice. In 1995, the short film, The Making of Jose de Creeft’s Alice In Wonderland Sculpture Garden – Narrated By Lorrie Goulet was produced and directed by J. D’Alba. Due to the amount of usage the piece received, the mold it was cast from was eventually stored by the Parks Department for future replacements. The monument, one of de Creeft's major works, gave him worldwide recognition."

 

>>> Oh yes! just do a sculpture related to pedophilia and you will get world wide recognition. Just great! This irritates me big time anons.

 

"The Whitney Museum held the first major retrospective of de Creeft's work In May 1960, organized by the American Federation of Arts.[23] The exhibition traveled for the next two years to thirteen museums throughout the United States. That summer, de Creeft and his family spent three months driving through France, Italy and Spain, visiting the places where he had worked and lived, including the Fortaleza in Mallorca to survey the damages to his outdoor works that were inflicted during the Spanish Civil War. During the trip they had the occasion to visit his friend Salvador Dalí at his house in Cadaqués.[24]

 

In 1965, de Creeft exhibited at The White House in the Festival of the Arts, where he and Goulet attended the opening dinner in the Rose Garden hosted by Lady Bird Johnson. "

 

>>>> We have the Whitneys, related to the Vanderbilts, (remember my earlier drops?) and invited to the WH by first lady Johnson, just great!

 

"De Creeft became one of three American artists chosen to be represented in The Vatican Permanent Collection of Religious Art, Rome, Italy, when the museum purchased his work, The Baby’s Sleep in 1972. He was awarded the "Comendador" of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, Madrid, Spain in 1973."

 

>>> Oh the Vatican!

Anons,

 

I just noticed something. Please check out Q drop 992.

 

Concord in English is written with the (e) letter at the end, while in French, it's written wit adding an (e) = Concord(e).

 

Is this what Q has been telling us about?

 

I've been researching about Concord in the States, but could I have been wrong and this is the Concord Q was pointing to?

 

It's where Louis XVI was beheaded. That's Payseur's daddy.

 

Gosh! how could I not see this before?

Alva Erskine Smith Vanderbilt Belmont was the ONE WHOM BUILT THE HOUSE ON THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION. She is a very active member of the suffragette movement. Her daughter Consuelo is married to the duke of Marlborough, cousin of Winston Churchil. Alva has decorate "Petit chateau (=little castle in French) like the palace of Versailles and she even bought Marie-Antoinette own personal desk. And as I just dropped yesterday, Consuelo bought some of the French royal jewelry when they were auctioned by the third republic in France. And please do take a look at Marble House and to Belcourt in Rhodes Island.

 

There is no way in Hell that the Cabal is going to give up this location.

 

I've been suspecting for a LOONNGGG time now of Alva being part of the Payseur family. Heck! She even might be the head of that family. Could P = C = Consuelo?

 

Then how does Soros and Killary fit in all of that?

 

And please do check on the map. We need to redraw that pentagram. We need to connect the 666 5th avenue building to Rothschild, Rockefeller center, to Alice in central park and to the Obelisk in central park….. that is comming in my next drop just after this one. And we shouldn't forget the Roosevelt hotel which was part of the Biltmore hotel chain.

So I checked if there are other "structures" or "statues" in central park that have symbolism related to them.

 

And the first thing that caught my attention was the Obelisk, called the "Needle of Cleopatra"

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra%27s_Needle_(New_York_City)

 

"Cleopatra's Needle in New York City is one of three similar named Egyptian obelisks and was erected in Central Park (at

 

40°46′46.67″N 73°57′55.44″W, west of the Metropolitan Museum of Art) on 22 February 1881. It was secured in May 1877 by judge Elbert E. Farman, the United States Consul General at Cairo, as a gift from the Khedive for the United States remaining a friendly neutral as the European powers – France and Britain – maneuvered to secure political control of the Egyptian government.

 

Made of red granite, the obelisk stands about 21 metres (69 ft) high, weighs about 200 tons,[1] and is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, in 1475 BC.[1] The granite was brought from the quarries of Aswan, near the first cataract of the Nile. The inscriptions were added about 200 years later by Ramesses II to commemorate his military victories. The obelisks were moved to Alexandria and set up in the Caesareum – a temple built by Cleopatra in honor of Mark Antony or Julius Caesar – by the Romans in 12 BC, during the reign of Augustus, but were toppled some time later. This had the fortuitous effect of burying their faces and so preserving most of the hieroglyphs from the effects of weathering. "

 

"The original idea to secure an Egyptian obelisk for New York City came out of the March 1877 New York City newspaper accounts of the transporting of the London obelisk. The newspapers mistakenly attributed to a Mr. John Dixon the 1869 proposal of the Khedive of Egypt, Mehmet Ali Pasha, to give the United States the remaining Alexandria obelisk as a gift for increased trade. Mr. Dixon was the 1877 contractor who arranged the transport of the London obelisk and denied the newspaper accounts. In March 1877 and based on the newspaper accounts, Mr. Henry G. Stebbins, Commissioner of the Department of Public Parks of the City of New York, undertook to secure the funding to transport the obelisk to New York.[2] However, when railroad magnate William H. Vanderbilt was asked to head the subscription, he offered to finance the project with a donation of over $100,000.[3]

 

Stebbins then sent two acceptance letters to the Khedive through the Department of State which forwarded them to Judge Farman in Cairo. Realizing that he might be able to secure one of the two remaining upright obelisks — either the mate to the Paris obelisk in Luxor or the London mate in Alexandria — Judge Farman formally asked the Khedive in March 1877, and by May 1877 he had secured the gift in writing"

 

"The obelisk was placed on an obscure site, some yards behind the museum. This location appeared to be a site decided by Vanderbilt's wishes. Gorringe wrote, "In order to avoid needless discussion of the subject, it was decided to maintain the strictest secrecy as to the location determined on." He noted that the prime advantage of the Knoll was its "isolation" and that it was the best site to be found inside the park, as it was quite elevated and the foundation could be firmly anchored in bedrock, lest Manhattan suffer "some violent convulsion of nature."[5] "

 

"Jesse B. Anthony, Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York, presided as the cornerstone for the obelisk was laid in place with full Masonic ceremony on 2 October 1880. Over 9,000 Masons paraded up Fifth Avenue from 14th Street to 82nd Street, and it was estimated that over 50,000 spectators lined the parade route. The benediction was presented by R.W. Louis C. Gerstein. The obelisk was righted by a special structure built by Henry Honychurch Gorringe. The official ceremony for erecting the obelisk was held 22 February 1881. "

 

>>>> Holy Heavens anons! A masonic ceremony for and around the Obelisk. We gotta include that to the map and connect it to Alice statue and 666 5th avenue, Rockefeller and Rothschild.

Then i checked other "statues"

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen

 

"Hans Christian Andersen (/ˈændərsən/; Danish: [hans kʁæsdjan ˈɑnɐsn] (About this soundlisten); 2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children: his stories express themes that transcend age and nationality.

 

Andersen's fairy tales, of which no fewer than 3381 works[1] have been translated into more than 125 languages,[2] have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well.[3] His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl" and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.[4] One of Copenhagen's widest and busiest boulevards is named "H.C. Andersens Boulevard".[5] "

 

"Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark on 2 April 1805. He was an only child. Andersen's father, also Hans, considered himself related to nobility (his paternal grandmother had told his father that their family had belonged to a higher social class,[6] but investigations have disproved these stories).[6][7] A persistent speculation suggests that Andersen was an illegitimate son of King Christian VIII, but this notion has been challenged"

 

"In June 1847, Andersen paid his first visit to England and enjoyed a triumphal social success during the summer. The Countess of Blessington invited him to her parties where intellectual people could meet, and it was at one such party that he met Charles Dickens for the first time. They shook hands and walked to the veranda, about which Andersen wrote in his diary: "We had come to the veranda, I was so happy to see and speak to England's now living writer, whom I love the most"

 

And we have this :

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belvedere_Castle

 

"Belvedere Castle is a folly in Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. It contains exhibit rooms and an observation deck, and since 1919, the folly has also been the location of the official Central Park weather station.[1]

 

Belvedere Castle was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the late 19th century. An architectural hybrid of Gothic and Romanesque styles, Vaux's design called for a Manhattan schist and granite structure with a corner tower with conical cap, with the existing lookout over parapet walls between them.[note 1] To reduce costs it was revised in November 1870 and completed under the Tammany Hall regime as an open painted-wood pavilion.[2]

 

Belvedere means "beautiful view" or "panoramic view" in Italian."

 

"The site, which overlooks the Lower Reservoir, already held a fire tower under the control of the Croton Aqueduct board. In 1867, the board transferred the site to the park, and the fire tower was demolished.[9] After the New York Meteorological Observatory automated its equipment and moved its offices to Rockefeller Center in the 1960s, Belvedere Castle was closed to the public and became an object of much vandalism, neglect and deterioration.[10] The Central Park Conservancy launched a restoration effort and reopened the structure on May 1, 1983, as the Henry Luce Nature Observatory."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Jagiello_Monument

 

"The King Jagiełło Monument is an equestrian monument of Władysław II Jagiełło, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, located in Central Park, New York City. The monument commemorates the Battle of Grunwald, a decisive defeat of the Teutonic Order in 1410. Originally made for the Polish 1939 New York World's Fair pavilion, the monument was permanently installed in Central Park in 1945. Raised on its grand plinth it is one of the most prominently-sited and impressive of twenty-nine sculptures located in the park. "

 

"The monument is sited overlooking the east end of the Turtle Pond, across from Belvedere Castle and just south-east from the Great Lawn.[1] To the northeast is Cleopatra's Needle and beyond, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "

 

>>> I wonder if the AXIS of the 2 swords will connect with other monuments or statues?

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Fountain

 

"Pulitzer Fountain is an outdoor fountain located in Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza in New York. The fountain is named after newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer who died in 1911 having bequeathed $50,000 for the creation of the fountain. Pulitzer intended his fountain to be "like those in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, France."[1] The fountain was designed by the architect Thomas Hastings, and crowned by a statue conceived by the sculptor Karl Bitter. [2] The fountain was dedicated in May 1916. "

 

"In December 1912, the executors of the estate of Joseph Pulitzer announced that New York City had approved the fountain's proposed location, in the plaza between 58th Street and 60th Street, just east of Fifth Avenue, the same plaza where the equestrian Sherman Monument stood since 1903. The executors invited five architecture firms to participate in a competition to determine the fountain's design, and to provide designs for a "good architectural treatment of the whole plaza."[3]

 

In January 1913, the five schemes were exhibited at the New York Public Library, including the winning scheme, designed by Carrère and Hastings. Architect Thomas Hastings' design placed the fountain in the southern half of the plaza, whereas the Sherman Monument remained in the northern half (but moved fifteen feet west to be symmetrically opposite the fountain). Hastings' design for the fountain included a "symbolical figure-the exact symbolism not yet having been decided upon."[4] Construction began in 1915, and by November, a newspaper reported: "The Pulitzer Fountain…is now finished and bubbling with the purest Croton water," noting that work on the northern portion of the plaza was delayed by subway construction.[5]

 

In the executed design, Karl Bitter's allegorical bronze statue Pomona depicts the goddess of abundance holding a basket of fruit. The model was Doris Doscher. Because Bitter died on April 9, 1915, having just completed the plaster cast of the figure,[6] Hastings and Bitter's widow selected Isidore Konti to complete the statue.[7] Konti began work in the fall of 1915, and the statue was cast in April 1916.[8] The statue was installed on (or about) May 1, 1916, "with little or no ceremony."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tecumseh_Sherman_(Saint-Gaudens)

 

"William Tecumseh Sherman, also known as the Sherman Memorial or Sherman Monument,[1][2] is an outdoor sculpture of William Tecumseh Sherman by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, located at Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan, New York. Cast in 1902 and dedicated on May 30, 1903, the gilded-bronze monument consists of an equestrian statue and an allegorical female figure, Victory,[3] set on a Stony Creek granite pedestal designed by the architect Charles Follen McKim."

Construction of the new plaza began in 1915, and by November one newspaper reported: "The Pulitzer Fountain…is now finished and bubbling with the purest Croton water," noting that work on the northern portion of the plaza was delayed by subway construction"

"The USS Maine National Monument is an outdoor monument, located in Central Park in Manhattan, New York. It was cast on September 1, 1912 and dedicated on May 30, 1913 to the men killed aboard USS Maine (ACR-1) when the ship exploded in Havana harbor.[1]

 

In 1913, a USS Maine Monument designed by Harold Van Buren Magonigle was completed and dedicated in New York City. Located at the southwest corner of Central Park at the Merchants' Gate entrance to the park, the monument consists of a pylon with a fountain at its base and sculptures by Attilio Piccirilli surrounding it.[2] A sculpture group of gilded bronze figures atop the pylon represent Columbia Triumphant, her seashell chariot being drawn by three hippocampi. The bronze for this group reportedly came from metal recovered from the guns of the Maine. On the park side of the monument is fixed a memorial plaque that was cast in metal salvaged from the ship.[3] It is not known how many of these plaques by sculptor Charles Keck were produced, but they can be found in many locations across the United States.[4] They were cast by the Jno Williams Bronze Foundry and widely publicized"

I was supposed to drop about that, but then I decided to go check on the links an anon put about Neon Revolt article about 666 5th avenue, and what i found out made me fall from my chair, as you can probably read for yourself. I hope you understand why i decided to go into that instead of Lexington, leaving that for tomorrow or the day after.
