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.

The world has indeed gone crazy if you listen to some folks. My news alert is that things are pretty much the way they have been.

We got the boat in the water. It needed some work with the battery charger. It was out of the water for over a year. Although we have had a cavalier attitude about moving to California and back to Atlanta, it is not without its hassles and work. I was reflecting on our move. We are so experienced and organized we even moved frozen food in the free checked luggage. Of course, all the luggage was at the maximum allowed weight. I decided (finally) to have the 2012 Leaf shipped to Atlanta. I found the cheapest place to get a new battery out in California. So with a new battery it will be making the trip cross country.
