Years ago when I was in high school a good friend told me about a class his uncle was taking in how to use visualization to help remember a list. Then he told me about the one his uncle used to remember the original 13 colonies in the order in which they joined the union. The second image is described "stabbed in the middle of the plate is a pencil" (Pennsylvania). It's now 60+ years later and I still remember the whole sequence, so I decided to use the phrases as titles for some dances; this is the second of those dances.
