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?...

Alex Can Spell
Not very long ago, Dr. Pepperberg began trying to teach Alex and another gray parrot, Griffin, to sound out phonemes, which are the sounds that letters and letter combinations represent. English has forty phonemes altogether. She and her colleagues wanted to see if the birds understood that words are made out of letters that could be recombined to make other words, so they started training the birds with magnetic refrigerator letters.
