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 am back from an extended business trip in China, Australia and Italy. It was a lot of miles, cultures and experiences. It was around the world and three hemispheres. It was over 30,000 air miles in 19 days and 9 cities in 6 countries ATL-SEA-PVG-HRB-PVG-MEL-DXB-BLQ-AMS-ATL

Highlights include: A Restaurant that reminded me of a Pet Shop. Worlds Fastest train (we clocked 430kph (267 MPH)). Plane ride from Shanghai to Melbourne Australia. Tram in Melbourne. Plane route avoiding airspace in Iraq and Syria, but over Iran -(extra hour at least). Dinner in Harbin. Winter Ice festival in Harbin China -(Cold). Downtown Harbin. Melbourne. Bells Beach Victoria AUS. Kangaroos in the wild on a Golf Course. Adriatic sea in Riccione Italy.
