Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

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.

We made it as far as San Jose Costa Rica today. We missed a flight so we are a day behind. This gives us a nice opportunity to check out San Jose for a night anyway. Maybe a bit more when we leave country. It is about 80 degrees with a stiff breeze. It was a bit of fun getting a hotel with the driving around and checking a few out using pidgeon Spanish. There are a couple of large international hotel chains, but most are local owned and run. The prices are generally reasonable. If you want to spend a lot you can spend a lot, however. We are (of course) staying at a locally owned hotel, "Hotel El Rodeo." The service so far has been very good. It is almost time to get a drink.
