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.

I am in Atlanta. That I am sure of. I read "Adaptive Leadership" (I read one to two business books a year) on the flight.

I also got my car back from the paint shop. It looks good. Next I am getting some treatment for the wheels and the windows tinted. On the flight from Munich to Atlanta today (10 daylight hours) we flew North of Iceland (way North of Great Circle considerations) and across the middle of Greenland because of favorable winds. Amazing.

I remembered a story. At a previous employer, I got a phone call from the legal administrative assistant. She said "Your *Technical Journal* arrived in the mail down here by mistake. "I said, "OK." She said, "My boss said he is going to keep it, he wants to bone-up on this stuff." I said, "OK." In my retrospection, It really wasn't OK hijacking my mail. It is kind of a basic thing.

I have to check what time my flight is out of ATL tomorrow. I really do enjoy working for a global company.
