“At first people ate simply because they were alive and because food was tasty. Modern people have come to think that if they do not prepare food with elaborate seasonings, the meal will be tasteless. If you do not try to make food delicious, you will find that nature has made it so.” ―Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
Pentagonal ―This pipe, with a flat base and triangular top, bore the pressure of heavy soil when placed deep underground. Pipers like this may have also served as hollow bricks for palace structures.
Cylindrical ―The mausoleum complex's drainage system was well planned and constructed according to the area's natural geographic conditions, with higher level land in the SE and lower level land in the NW.
This round water pipe with different dimensions at each end was designed to fit tightly into another. Architects used hydraulic engineering skills to lay out the sewer system, which not only served palace buildings but also protected underground burial chambers from flooding.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore―
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door―
Only this and nothing more.”
―Edgar Allan Poe
“Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.” ―Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Ooh I’m up with the kites and I dream so blue
I live in the sky, you can live here too.

“Honey, on your knees when you look at me
I’m dressed like a fucking queen and you’re begging, ‘please’
I rule with the velvet tongue
And my dress undone
And I’ll get you lost but I’m having fun”

Palmer's historic and iconic water tower was built in 1935 to support the depression era Matanuska Colony. The 94-foot steel tower is no longer used to provide water to Palmer. The Palmer Historical Society restored the tower in 1988 and that maintenance has continued. Shot with iPhone 8 on May 25, 2022.

“Mámá was fond of saying that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels—an aphorism I was pretty sure she'd cribbed from the thinspiration sites she subscribed to online—but I believed that anyone who said such things had never tasted chili-cheese fries with melted cheddar, fresh ground beef, and Tapatio sauce.”

“I don't know the meaning of life. I don't know why we are here. I think life is full of anxieties and fears and tears. It has a lot of grief in it, and it can be very grim. And I do not want to be the one who tries to tell somebody else what life is all about. To me it's a complete mystery.” ―Charles M. Schulz, Charles M. Schulz: Conversations
Inside and views from the 360 Chicago Observation Deck in the John Hancock Center, Chicago, after the fog had cleared.
The earthenware mask's A-line shape suggests it was modeled after a wooden helmet, which an exorcist would have worn while performing rituals to ward off evil spirits and misfortune.
A similar mask found at Yangguanxhai Village near Xi'an dates to round 3500 BCE. DNA testing identified some tomb occupants at the same site as Mongols, descendants of ancient Rong and Di people.
