Something that always amazes me: When you turn on the tap in your home, you're draining the water out of a giant tower, by gravity. From the point of view of the water, it must be a wild ride.

Minding your own business in an undifferentiated mass, suddenly pulled inexorably by unseen forces, whisked through a tunnel and cut off from the mass, individuated into a confusing new context: a glass, a toilet, falling over moving hands or into soil and that’s your new life. What a ride.

Water has no feelings. The bacteria and parasites always enjoy the ride

Back in 2007, Austin TX had a digitally animated water tower eyeball ("The I of TX") at the Green Water Treatment Plant. It looked around, blinked, and was generally disturbing.

Not really...? Water towers are there to ensure 2 or 3 days of potable water for a town. At least where I've lived. The main water is pumped for a reservoir and/or treatment plant.
