Copper Ingots, Deming NM, January 22, 2012
So that's what that is
I often see flatbeds go by the RV park loaded with three widely spaced bundles of what look like iron weights. They baffled me until yesterday at Walmart when three rigs rolled in loaded with nice shiny ones, unlike the dull, iron like, loads I've been seeing. Bingo! - copper ingots.
But why would some be on the road past the RV Park?...

Ask What Surprised Them
I was afraid of flying for a long time and could only travel vicariously. When friends came back from faraway places, it wasn't just out of politeness that I asked what they saw. I really wanted to know. And I found the best way to get information out of them was to ask what surprised them. How was the place different from what they expected? This is an extremely useful question. You can ask it of the most unobservant people, and it will extract information they didn't even know they were recording.
