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 Duluth GA, back from San Antonio TX. I had a global meeting this past week. It had been almost 30 years since I was in San Antonio.

They are having a massive drought in Texas. When I arrived at the hotel I gave the cab driver a tip I told him, "better yet, I brought rain." And rain it did on my last day in Texas, and it rained hard. A person setting up breakfast tables next to me before sun-up, dropped everything, ran to the windows and said. "Oh my god its raining." People were coming out of the backrooms with smiles and tidbits about radar images and quantities of rain. What a difference from Upstate NY.

I spent time in a river walk piano bar, that was a special treat. They played the following song, which was nice and fits my life in a Texas context.
