NODE // depth=4 // terminal

orbit map // the building // same perimeter


The thing that stopped me when I reviewed the photographs is the sightline. From the corner of that building, standing at the entrance in the position the man with the clipboard stands during the perimeter walk I have documented, you can see into the lower lot. Not just the lower lot of that building. The lower lot of mine. I measured the angle against the satellite image and the sightline is unobstructed for the relevant distance. He was not walking the perimeter of one property. He was walking the perimeter of both at once, using the position of the first to observe the second.

I have been watching one end of a surveillance corridor. The building I found might be the other end. Might. The name on the dissolved registration is whoever set up the corridor, or its whoever owns whatever the corridor is pointed at, and I genuinely dont know which, saying I did would be exactly the kind of thing I keep catching other people doing to me and I am not doing that here. The diagram in the glove box, bilateral, escalating, reads the same forward and backward, I have said that somewhere else on this site already, check the frequency pages if they are still up. Two reference points on it. Maybe this building is the second one. Maybe its a third thing and I havent even found the first end of that yet.

Im not putting the actual sightline numbers here, the distances, the degrees, none of it, I have them written down somewhere that isnt this page, this page is public and I dont know who reads a site this deep, probably nobody, probably just me at three in the morning rereading my own work like always, but I am not betting the rest of this on probably. The sightline is there whether I type the numbers out or not. Thats not even the part I keep circling back to though. Its the gap between the two lots. Standing at that corner you can feel how close it actually is, closer than the diagram makes it look, and I keep telling myself I will go back and stand there again just to check whether it still feels that close or whether I made that part up too.
