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 closing on my house Wednesday the 25th. Finally! There sure were a lot of hoops to jump through. There is quite a bit of work to do, a roof, air-conditioning and so on. I have to be moved out of my apartment on Aug 2nd.

The following picture is of the my meetup dinner Saturday evening. I have been in Atlanta two years and I am still getting used to the idea that a big city like Atlanta has lots of opportunities to meet with people that were impossible in rural NY... like a Portuguese language instruction club.

We took a long plane ride today up to Blairsville, GA, up in the mountains, in and around the clouds.
