Taipei 101 has a huge visible damper that extends two floors. It’s fascinating, but a little scary because you can see how much the building is swaying by watching the motion of the giant plumb bob, or whatever they call it.

I’ve been to Taipei in 70-71. Liked it a lot. One of the few places in Asia where American sailors aren’t treated like scum by the locals.

It sounds sort of like "And a lama over Taipei". So here's the Dali Lama

This photo is great. In the early 70’s Sky & Telescope’s cover had a single 35mm frame photo of the analemma taken from NY or PA, I think. Amazing since he had to judge the foreground exposure against dozens of sun photos.
I used to wonder why the earliest and latest sunsets and sunrises were not on the exact days of summer and winter solstice, the analemma explained it. On globes (if it appears) it’s labeled as “sun fast” and “sun slow”.

I have been mountain climbing in the Himalayas from the Tibet side. I never saw lamas. But lots of yaks.

Ha, nice! Can you imagine the first visitors to Mars seeing that flag?

"I have been mountain climbing in the Himalayas from the Tibet side. I never saw lamas. But lots of yaks."Wow, I think I'm good watching Gandolf decide whether to take the Icy Mountain path or the Mines of Moria from the comfort of my recliner.
