Debbie has pointed out that at around the same time I was posting about orange Oscar, this guy was winning the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami:
As discussed in "Am I the Blue-Green Abelard?" I was prompted by all the recent Abelard syncs to look up posts where I had quoted from my verse composition Yes and No, since that is also the title of Abelard's best known work. Though Yes and No covered an extremely wide range of themes, the part I found was about the Flood of Noah and has a blue-green link as it says "all that once was green / Was overwhelmed beneath the blue."
While I was pursuing the Abelard angle, and arriving at Noah, Debbie was searching for songs with blue-green in the lyrics, and also arrived at "Noah" -- namely a Frank Sinatra song by that name, which neither of us had ever heard of before. Here's the first verse and chorus:
The world's a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah
With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That's flooding everywhereWe've got to walk with the lion
Soar with the eagle
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace
"The world's a tiny blue-green ark / Afloat in darkest space." The Yes and No extract about Noah was published in a 2020 post called "Ark in the dark." The song's underlying metaphor is also a link to "Blue Boat Home."
Debbie focused on the nightingale and found, with the help of a Fake Intelligence, an extremely obscure poem by one Laura Linker, published in 2013 in the Journal of South Texas English Studies, in which Heloise, addressing Abelard, calls herself "your full-throttled nightingale."
By a strange coincidence, a couple of nights ago my wife was convinced that she heard nightingales on our roof, even though there are no nightingales in Taiwan.
The Laura Linker poem also mention's Abelard's castration:
You, lonely, castrated thing, maybe you couldn't help
what it is you are.
Abelard was castrated by vigilantes after seducing Heloise. This makes him a direct link to all those "dick with no balls" syncs from a while back.

Some rabbis have maintained that Noah was also castrated, by his son Ham.
Piastri is Australian (which I knew, local news naturally covers him a fair bit) but has Italian heritage going by Wiki. Reading further, the only thing that really interested me concerned his Formula 3 win in 2020, where he "finished seventh [in the final race] to claim the championship title, three points ahead of Pourchaire and four ahead of Sargeant," in spite of penalties and collisions in earlier races. This reminded me of the Bradbury, whom incidentally wore blue-green.

Since I mentioned Éowyn earlier, the "allwyn" logo on Piastri's jacket caught my eye. Turns out the company runs lotteries in a handful of countries, another link to luck and fortune.
“Full-throttled nightingale” is a solecism, I think. Surely she meant “full-throated.” One pictures a nightingale flying at full throttle, like a Birdplane.

The Birdplane guy has since trooned out. Not sure whether he went so far as to have himself castrated or not.
William,
This is getting verrrrrrry interesting indeed!
Yesterday, 5/4 Marshall actually stood in the doorway of the den
( which is my computer room )
and said : "Guess what? I have another Oscar for you.
Come here I want to show you this."
Marshall watched the Formula 1 race, in another room
on his computer which I have no interest
in car races whatsoever.
Marshall still had the image of Oscar Piastri on his computer
and I immediately said: Look at all the Orange!
What's the odds of all of this??
Wild....
Some stray thought led me back here, wondering how the orange ties into things besides the Grouch. A quick search turned up those orange and blue butterfly syncs from December.
