Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

Image
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 have been in Europe for 11 days, mostly The Netherlands and Finland. Overall, looking ahead, I think I have everyday and evening booked in February.

  • Pic 1. Central Finland in winter at 4:00 in the afternoon.
  • Pic 2. Hints at the fairyland side of Finland from the air.
  • Pic 3. Been on this plane several times now. I like the call sign. "Approach Control, Oh-8 with you at 12500."
  • Pic 4. George Patton's Grave at a US cemetery in Europe.
  • Pic 5. Great Sense of humor in Finland
  • Pic 6. This is the tractor I am getting if I get back to farming. I only got it stuck once on my test drive.
  • Pic 7. Great Architecture feels like putting on a pair of jeans just out of the dryer.
  • Pic 8. Venlo, Netherlands
  • Pic 9. This beer was pretty much unbelievable, the stuff on the side of the glass is known as "Brussels Lace" for good reason.
  • Pic 10. What world heritage site is this?
  • Pic 11. Chocolate!
  • Pic 12. "I am looking for an attractive tariff."

Regarding your picture/question 10: Looks like La Grand-Place in Brussels/Belgium to me. Correct? :)
