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.

Here is a tune that you don't need to know the words. If your your world is feeling big or small it will help re-calibrate. English: I believe Adam and Eva woke up in the morning Their friend, Helios, was proud of his work Heat will be during all week Delphi's oracle watched the weather Heaven dwarf - winged hummingbird Loved to drink dew in the dawn Zebras, centaur, wolves and tigers Myths seethe like rock river I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha I believe in prophet Muhammad, I believe in Krishna, believe in Garuda I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha I believe in Jah, believe in Jah, believe in Jah and will believe Lame volcano kindles a fire Thor needs a forge hummer The Great Creator keeps its palm Over map of life, over place where will be a town. Legends make us wiser, We feel pulse of the one university! Saint Peter is keeper of keys Dancing magic dance with Helen (of Troy) I believe in Jesus Chris...

North Georgia

Angie and I went for a hike that turned into more of a drive than a hike. We hiked a bit. We drove much more. The Honda hasn't been out for a romp like this in a year. It was time. After we got back, the fingerprints of black fuel residue on the back of the car reminded me that the car needs to go. And the car goes. It can handle the mountain roads better than the motorcycles it seems. It was fun, but it seems more dangerous than the airplane. I am not complacent on either one. I fret about safety. From the top of the highest mountain in Georgia I took the picture of Blairsville Airport. I have flown in there previously. Instinctual, I knew where it was. I got the chance to visit the overlook at Tallulah Gorge. The last time I was there was 35 years ago. I stopped there when I rode my motorcycle from Ohio to Florida when I was in School in Columbus Ohio. It took me three days, rain, camping out, experience building and all that. I said I would be back, and guess what? I got back....
