I see a lot of interesting commercialitems on truck on I-75. When you make the commute many times you start to see the same items over and over again. Sometimes it is huge equipment tires, sometimes heavy equipment of different types. I see these huge blocks of aluminum going North. I think about what the mill must look like and where it is going. And how much aluminum foil a block like this will make. Using the Tesla Full Self-Driving (supervised) allows me to look for these things on the highway.

AIIM International - The Enterprise Content Management Association Bonnie and I went to NYC for the day today. It makes for a long day but it can be done. The show was bigger than I expected and I spent quite a bit of time there, so we didn't do anything else while we were in the city.
