Yes of course, whenever you are ready. Sorry about your father and
the flooding. BTW I enjoyed watching/listening to your pain.mp4.

I recognized one or two of the names shown in the mini-map as being
people known for virtual performance art within Second Life, ie Fau
Ferdinand.

Overall, second life is an interesting space to explore. I've been
teleporting around the map from place to place seeing what I can find.
At times it can seem like all there is in there is sex and fashion and
more sex. A bit like the internet but more so.Setting the access rating
to pg/mature/adult doesn't help there, but who wants to miss out ;-)
In an attempt to find interesting places I type terms into the search
and teleport to those I like the sound of. I had great expectations of
a place called Surreal, but it was a very tranquil place, with a group
of peaceful seeming people fishing and playing board games. The lack of
any surreal qualities to the place was disappointing, but, on the other
hand, it was non-threatening and didn't feel unwelcome.However, the
neighbours of surreal defended their property with gun turrets and
a pirate flag and shot at me when I flew in there before being given a
ten second warning to get out and, with barely a second passed, was
teleported back to my home (which doesn't exist anymore).
Another place, I was exploring, an occupant asked what I was doing
there and how I found it. I told them to google Aphex Twin (the place
was called Aphexx). Then I was informed it was very private and that I
should leave. Ok.
>From looking at land ownership though I can kinda understand why
some people take it so seriously, and even why some locations don't
welcome 'cartoon' avatars ('mature' avatars are welcome).
In the first few days I couldn't for the life of me understand why most
people seem to view SL as an opportunity to fit in rather than as an
opportunity to....
