I was wondering that as well with g00gle!!

 

I am thinking WTF is there a football field or field goal at any park ?? maybe he is referring to basketball field goal??

 

maybe the field hockey goal?

 

hmmmm or maybe this some tryst from a poem? (knowing AW it is!!)

Is this saying *where* the poker chip is?



"And in the park a moment of dark
Will hold the way to keep score"

I can only find one "moment of dark" in a park.  But there *has* to be more than one, I'd think...

score = music

moment of dark = Momentary Lapse Of Reason / Dark Side Of The Moon  - Pink Floyd

-I can make any clue fit either Pink Floyd or Disc Golf somehow  ;-)

In Phalen, there's a sculpture of a sailboat.  Is it *just* a sailboat, or something more?  Does it serve an additional purpose besides being a bunch o'metal in the shape of a sailboat?

art works serves a purpose. It gives me an instance glipse of the culture, ideals, heart, and sole of the artist....

why do you think I love the work of "big g's"

Sounds like you've been hanging out in my humanities class, Kitch.

Sometimes art serves another purpose than just being art.  For example, a painting fills a void on a wall.  Or a beautiful pitcher can pour delicious margaritas.  Both art objects are serving a dual purpose.

Anyway, what does THG say about that sailboat at Phalen, huh?  I think there's something in his book about it.

Thinking on g's or me2's parks at this point for no apparent reason.

Thanks, Kitch.

See, I'm thinking the "and in the park a moment of dark" is...  What?

What's a dark moment [in time]?  The time on a sundial!

Duluth & Case has one, but I can't see squeezing a poker chip under that puppy.

It seems to me...  Did I read the sailboat at Phalen's a sundial?  If so, there's your dark moment in time.  Plus if same, only difference is what you do:  one you sail, one you tell time with.  And you wouldn't get wet either...  And you'll be all set...  Set to sail, too?

And Bicycle ride would be not only playing of poker, but riding on the bike path would guide you to the sailboat.

BUT, this is all contingent on *if* that sailboat's a sundial, and I can't remember!

The sailboat's not on the Maplewood side. 

And what's 'dark' about good things:  "the best portion of a good man's life--- the little, nameless , unremembered acts of kindness and love..."

The logic of Green has come to the Mock Hunt. Now I can definitely say I've made it big!

All,

I don't know if this has been posted or not, or whether or not it's even appropriate to do so, but I know that the subject appreciates kind thoughts and prayers.  So here goes:

Diane (Outtamymind) has been hospitalized over the last week and a half (is now home) with a series of minor strokes.  To the best of my knowledge, she is *relatively* ok, she can walk and talk, but has periods of confusion.  This would be tragic enough for someone of 38, but she has six (6!) children as well, so resources are extremely tight for them.

I'm not sure what to do to help out, other than to pray for a safe recovery for her, and hope you all will do the same.

Clue Master

OMG!  Thanks for posting that RB.

I'll send all the positive thoughts I can for Diana.  Damn! :(

This very lucky Joe is dedicated to Outtamymind

Hmmm, what do you know, I can put the clues at the top. I was wondering why there was an "Edit" button next to everyone's posts.

yeah me too. i don't know her, but that's very sad. i'll say a prayer for whatever it's worth.

That's too bad about outtamymind. She had even sent me a check so that she could be registered for the hunt. Hopefully she'll still get out or maybe someone can hunt on her behalf.

Oh my god, Redbear!  That's horrible!  So young and so many depending on her!  Is there anything I can do?

Redbear

Green, have no idea.  Like I said, I *think* she's doing ok, but obviously hopes and prayers would be helpful.  I know her kids have been staying out at a relative's.
