 		I've seen the pictures, very intriguing. I message Angie, Ernest's only follower on the blog. Maybe she took the photos?

Tried de-stegging them, but I'm a noob, I don't know the password and even if there's anything there at all.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've noticed he's communicating with his hands, maybe sign language. I've come up with POW or 601 depending whether it's letters or numbers. Stuck after that though.


Any ideas?

 		More contact.

Ernest,

It does seem like have a following, but why? You're just a journalist you say.

Did you buy anything nice?

I realised your hand, but no ideas yet.

Leon

WOP / 601

Leon,

Sometimes the hand is quicker than the eye, but this isn't the case.

What do Books, Beds, and hunters share?

Best,
-Ernest


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Obviously I'm missing something, because he's asked me to share this.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Also I think he intentionally misspelled Books should be Bucks I assume; and then the answer would be Deer.

 		A book, a bed and a hunter walk into a bar...
And see someone following them
I think we need to work off the books, beds and hunters as the riddle. But why capitalize the Bs but not the h in hunter?

The closest answer I could come up with would be
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
covers or sheets, but both need to stretch to be workable with hunter. The only other answer I could come up with is the letter S, but that doesn't seem to get us anywhere either.


Also, I noticed that D no longer has those followers from the other sites. So I'm wondering if we're meant to see them for another ARG or later on? In any case, D has a new tweet confirming that we need to look on Line 39.

Take Care,
Kendra

 		The Postman Always Tweets Twice
But still not seeing clearly
D's newest tweet, talks about the obviousness of dragonfly, but I'm not sure I follow. Perhaps D means dragons flying? So I did a quickie Wikipedia search on Dragons and noticed the greek root verb translates "to see clearly" or possibly even "that which flashes or gleams". Hmm.

Even tried anagraming it- as the e-mail adress for Ernest itself seems odd, but the best I could come up with is Read Randy Golf. Heh.

I also got this e-mail from Ernest, with the last two words ghosted until I selected it to copy here:

Quote:
Kendra_W,

I'm finding myself in greater demand, if you'll be catching my meaning, these days. Good for you; minding your B's and h's. There is more there but you're on the right track. MY TRAIL


Best,
-Ernest


And adding in those two words we get
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They're on my trail


Is it too obvious to think we're really trying to give Ernest his freedom from the spy game and an exit from hostile spies trying to track him down? As Whoopi Goldberg once said, "Dogs are barking, can't fly without an umbrella."

But if that's so, how do those fit in with the line 39 clue, the dragonfly clue, the mysterious man in the photos or the book, bed and hunter riddle? Will try to send another e-mail to try shed more light on this.

Take Care,
Kendra

 		Seems interesting...i'm join in.

About the 39.1 39.12 39.22
line 39 of the resume :
Sociology, Politics, Yachting
1 12 22
so SPY again....
why he would put the 39.* clues at the top of the resume if
the S, P, Y are underlined??

Probably the man in the photos is tracking him...maybe we have to ask
the reason to Ernest...

I'll try to contact him by mail to see what i can get...

CERTA:
in the answer that Ernest sent you i can see some letters in bold and some
in italic....can you post the original mail that he sent you?
....sorry i just saw the "share this" X)

I think you may have solved it with "cover", all three use them/it. Beds and books have covers, and hunters use cover. No kloo what it means. Confused

*eta Maybe the meaning is "undercover", so would that mean something is hidden somewhere in his blog that we are just not seeing?

Yeah, FWIW, I think "cover" has to be the answer -- as in "I'm a spy, but this journalist thing is my cover." Smile

There was only share this, just the bold and the italic. So he's watching us.

As proof of that I got another mail from him today and he used my username from here instead of my real name. Look below:
Leon,

I didn't make a typo books, beds and hunters. Angie is a friend, don't
worry about her. I'm counting on you Certa, help me get the word out.

Another difference is the arrows > beside the each line, in all previous mails these we're never there, but maybe I'm looking into it too much.

Regarding the hand signals, he says get the word out, maybe he is not finger spelling but saying a word, I'll look through more sign language sites today.

Regarding D mention the obvious Dragonfly in her tweet I zoomed into the dragonfly and there is something above it.

Hey Ernest,

A friend of mine Leon, shared a recent email from you. The riddle you posed, the only thing I can think of that those three items have in common, is "cover" or "undercover". So you are working undercover as a journalist? Does that have anything to do with the guy that is tailing you? Can we help?


Ernest wrote:
Roxanne,


Bingo on both accounts, you can help but I can't say now. Remember
keep your eyes open.


Best,
-Ernest

 		The poem holds a message for us.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's an acrostic taking the first letters on each line you get, "Check my" and using the last letters on each line you get "Twitter" http://twitter.com/ErDragonflyAd


*eta lol great minds + twiitter account link
