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?...

Mix With the World

I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
