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.

The weather has been perfect in Atlanta in the wake of hurricane Sandy. There was no damage on the farm. Bad weather is pretty much normal there. The floods over the last two years will be hard to top in the area near Binghamton, NY.

I went flying Saturday. It was quite nice. It was almost ideal conditions. I cant help but take pictures of car wrecks around Atlanta. There is a lot of them. A lot of cars, a lot of wrecks. I was planning on climbing Brasstown Bald (highest elevation in GA) today by myself, but I decided I should probably work on the house instead.

The pic of the airport is my home airport KLZU. I snapped this pic being 5 miles out, 3000 ft and cleared for a straight-in approach for Runway 25.
