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 got out on the Appalachian trail again Saturday. I do better and better each time. Backpacking is definitely different than walking. I am looking forward to crossing the North Carolina and Georgia border. It will be a while yet. There are some grueling hills getting into the Appalachians. North Georgia is really a very nice place.

I have been getting messages from all over the world with concerns about Hurricane Irene and the Farm. We will probably get less damage than he have in the several storms over that last year that went unnoticed by the rest of the world. In one of those storms in the past year, my neighbor was telling me how someone knocked on his door telling him his barn roof was in the middle of the road.
