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.

The llamas haven't been on the blog too much lately. Professor is looking smart. Aries is showing his fine taste in latin subject matter art. He is quite discriminating and astute. Amy the cat is on mouse patrol.

The llamas are all washed and nice. They were getting grungy. The cold water slowed them down a bit. They were all pretty well behaved. I got some hay from my neighbors and talked quite a bit about farming. I learn quite a bit every time I have the opportunity. Here is a fascinating link that shows the future I suspect, four-dimensional space. I suspect when we start working and playing in the "matrix" we will have plenty of opportunity for maneuvering around four-plus dimensional space. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/35740/title/Seeing_in_four_dimensions
