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.

We are getting a new alternator in the plane, working on the house in NY, and working on the boat. Boat pics in the water are forthcoming. We are bringing the boat back from the edge. A must before I get to the remodeling on the house in Duluth.

I moved into a new office at work. It is bigger, desk is big. It is all about land reform. Always unpopular with some. Uncomfortable for all.

I particularly like the pic I got of the guy living in the American dream home, Dog, TV, Stuff.

Lola, Angie and I explored Atlanta this weekend. Travel is a state of mind, commonly not a destination. It is much more about communication and culture rather than geology and geography.
