Note: The article stated that an archelogist in 1923 found the honey from 3,000 years ago. King Tut was buried 3200 BC. I did the math and found the honey to be 5132 years old (3200 add to 1923). So, double checking is good.

We have to go to school.
We have to go to work.
We have to enjoy life,
Also, we live in comfort and socialize,
But there isn't always a party,
And so, we go to the mall.
The shopping mall is a social environment.
They have grocery stores, pharmacies,
department stores, gift stores, food courts,
gyms, movie theaters, amusements and more...
They have parking lots with electric car outlets,
And if close to home, familiar faces.
The shopping mall is always there.
A place to buy things we need or want.
A place to buy things to create comfort,
When we are at school, work or home.
A place to linger and observe;
art, architecture, people, cars, prices.
A place we accumulate memories
From socializing with others or not.
Author Notes |
NOTES: I always have a mall to visit. I don't really go anymore because of the pandemic, but it's nice to know they are there. I went to REI at the Burbank Empire Center today to pickup some spring/summer things to enjoy the mountains and parks nearby me. Also, I went another strip mall to pick up a Subway tuna mayo footlong. Have a GOOD FRIDAY into Easter Weekend :)

NOTE: I read the below referenced article. However, vacation destinations aren't what I think about when talking about engineering. Although, it is a truth but one I have just learnt about from "Interesting Facts". To me engineering is a work title that belongs to people educated to build, design, plan and/or delegate products of all sorts. I'm thinking architecture of buildings, automobiles, pens, televisions, cameras, As Seen On TV, computers, telephones, hybrid animals, hybrid plants, airplanes, etc... Things that I know about in my life. So, I defined "Engineering" to the best of my knowledge in the most generic of ways. Please don't be offended if you are an engineer because I was being non-specific.

Here is a little idea...
Follow formalities people.
Social graces is necessary everywhere.
It should be a second hand nature in the air,
But that doesn't appear to be life today.
Learn table manners; make it a second nature way;
Helpful skills not just for banquets and weddings.

There are other varieties to plant at home
that do not have to be picked, and they still look nice.

NOTES: I did a dumb roadtrip through Washington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and back in like 2010 or 2012. I don't ever want to do that long of a roadtrip again. I am all for natural beauty, but rather take an airplane, hotel and tours, especially in those parts of the USA. Also note, there are approximately 1000 caves in the Grand Canyon, but only a few hundred are cleared for exploration.
