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?...

Skepticism is Helpful
If you want to notice things that seem wrong, you'll find a degree of skepticism helpful. I take it as an axiom that we're only achieving 1% of what we could. This helps counteract the rule that gets beaten into our heads as children: that things are the way they are because that is how things have to be. For example, everyone I've talked to while writing this essay felt the same about English classes-- that the whole process seemed pointless. But none of us had the balls at the time to hypothesize that it was, in fact, all a mistake. We all thought there was just something we weren't getting.
