The limits of mechanical engineering, particularly aviation design and mechanics, have always been present in nature. The standards for mechanical engineering can be found in one magnificent animal. Of course, I’m talking about dragonflies and damselflies.
Diamonds are hardest, coal and gas burn hottest, our atmosphere is mostly fertilizer, trees and every single solitary piece of life itself needs carbon. Even when there is little of it, carbon shows in the author’s pencil. Our pond is a contrived and shrinking rubber lined hole of about 800 gallons now, but still the soul of our tiny green oasis in the brutal heat of Arizona summer.
To gravely extend a metaphor, God lifted the tip of His beloved pencil in our neighbor’s yard and splashed dry watercolors in ours. Magic dust around us. Just add water, and trim incessantly. Nature invades from the creek behind us. We just encourage it to come out another 50 yards. (45.72 meters if you are foreign.)
Divine Providence introduced me to dragonflies. They are, in fact and substance, perfect mechanical marvels. They are hunters, and they do not miss. Hear ye! Hear ye! Dragonflies will designate all mechanical engineering from this point forward.
