The Water Mill Proverb and Life’s Lasting Lesson
An old poem argues the water mill will never grind again with water that has passed. It uses the image of harvest, time fleeting, and a warning to seize love and deeds now. The voice recalls neglected joys, unspoken words, and the value of living rightly before time ends.

Sunlight Pressure Measured in Foot-Pounds
Prov. Creak Maxwell notes the mean energy per cubic foot of sunlight is about 8.82e-8 foot pounds and the mean pressure per square foot is the same fraction. A surface facing the light would feel this pressure on the illuminated side, pushing it away. Calculations yield a pressure of about two and a half pounds per square mile, with a large gap to the fifty seven tons found experimentally, a common gap between theory and experiment.
