All the basic situations in life occur only once, never to return. For a man to be a man, he must be fully aware of this never-to-return. Drink it to the dregs. No cheating allowed. No making believe it's not there.
——The Joke, Writer, Milan Kundera

生活中一切重要时刻都只是一次性的，永不回头。一个男子汉要成为男子汉，他就应当完完全全明白这一点。但愿他不要自欺欺人！但愿他不要装作不知道！
——米兰·昆德拉，作家，《玩笑》

有人问美国作为农产品大国为啥食品价格也会大涨。因为整个产业链价格都涨了。比如，化肥的价格涨了4倍。玉米的价格涨了80%，小麦价格涨了至少80%。 人工涨了，仓储涨了。而且雪上加霜的是今年北美天气干旱，很多农产品大幅减产。
美国新闻周刊引用一个USDA的数据例子：
average wholesale price of a Grade A frozen 8-16 pound turkey has increased 21.91 percent year-on-year.
This equates to $1.41 per pound as of October 22 compared to $1.15 per pound a year ago. In late October 2019, the same would have cost $0.96, and in October 2018 just $0.84. This is a 68 percent average wholesale price increase for Grade A frozen turkey (8-16 pound) within two years.

A级 8-16磅冻火鸡
2018年价格是 0.84 美元一磅。
2019年价格是0.96 美元一磅。
2020年价格是1.15美元一磅。
2021年价格是 1.41 美元一磅。

明年会涨幅更大……

四 月

此刻。扯羊河谷吹北风

星辰消隐于群山之上

仪式和火光中

我预感到不可抗的雪意

将要飘临，薄薄地

扑向我，铺在我内心的

万物繁花之上

那洁白的芒

意外的冷，意外的孤独

使我在黑夜的缝隙里

飞行，不停地梦见逝者

又见草木疯狂地再生

使我唏嘘......

人间四月忧郁的事

坚韧而绵长

April
#如何精准分辨间谍##快递信息泄露成精准定向诈骗帮凶##shotoniphone#

As the north wind blows across Cheyang valley,

stars fade in and out over the mountains.

Surrounded by rituals and camp fires,

I sense the presence of snow,

threatening to float down, to scantly

cover me up, and glaze

the blooming world

with a layer of white bristles.

This unexpected chill and unexpected bleakness

bring to my dreams faces of the deceased

in a break of the night,

but also there invigorating earth.

It brings a lump to my throat.

The melancholic flowers of April

are most tenacious and persistent.
