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.

Work is starting to ramp down here in Finland. I have a couple more meetings tomorrow then Friday morning I am headed back to the US. I am tired. I am smarter. I have been influential.

It was snowing in Finland. It made me very homesick. The thing that looks like a bear is actually a very high-tech bear anger-management simulator. These days there are simulators for everything. The high-tech folks in Finland who have brought us saunas, cellular phones, and countless other modern devices have also brought us the use of these simulators. Next time I get to try the techniques on a real bear.

The other pic is something I hope you think is off the beaten path. These World Dryer people aren't kidding.
