Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

Image
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. The FSD also helps me through the crazy stop and goes. Easily over 70MPH and then sudden traffic at dead stops, frequently. I see accidents every trip. It is amazing there aren't more. A side note- aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side. The reason why is that the foil is folded as it goes through massive rollers. The shiny side is the side that faces the steel roller. The dull side faces itself - aluminum.
Helpful movie quotes Unformatted, you will have to figure out some of the commentary versus the quotations. The Rooster (foggy) woke up dead the other day. He was kinda old. He was eating a lot in his new home and he was put in a hen house with three virgin hens. He seemed to have fallen from his roost in the night. I like that saying "woke up dead." I think it typifies information. There is always a paradox, a catch 22, a chicken-egg situation, when talking about information. How do you describe information without information? A meta language? Perhaps, however a meta language does not seem to have conversational capabilities.
