Why Dash Cams are a Good Idea


The following is a recording of an accident my dash cam captured on Tuesday, 18 June 2024 in El Paso, Texas on North Mesa at Remcon. When we got to our destination I called the regional police substation and advised that I had a video. Alas, I guess visual evidence was not important enough to warrant an EPPD officer following up with me to obtain a copy. At any rate, I’ve cropped the video to enlarge the relevant scene, as my dash cam has an enormous 140º view.

Indonesia — Bali; Pura Taman Ayun Part 3


A couple of friendly Balinese hosts

While the inner sanctuary at Taman Ayun holds the most sacred sites within this compound, there are other things to capture your interest in the midde and outer courtyards as well. So, today I’m going to just give you a taste of what’s available to see in all three areas. Below is today’s Taman Ayun photo gallery/slide show. Click on any image to enlarge it and to engage the slide show:
