A video I made about ordinary life of ordinary people in northern India. Starts with photo montage for 7:10 minutes then goes to video. No commentary, just images. As personally seen by me. See for yourself what it is like at street level.

@A1Passport I used this company A1 in 2009, 2011 and 2026 to obtain China visas. Sam Carlo was there all three times and I dealt with him. They have been at this for a long time and are reliable.

@ByAdamWagner I eatched on zoom. Hours for nothing.

[Charles P Gilliam @CharlesGilliamN]

@nicholasmcraig Not stating results is a bummer. I watched on zoom. They put results on table and people there took photos.

My latest om the Irrawaddy. I discuss the relationship between Mingun Pahtodawgy and the Bent Pyramid of Saqqara and my hypothesis of how the Pahtodawgy never could have been built. https://t.co/D3JvVEYRNc

A new post on my new blog about Kyaiktiyo Pagoda in Burma. From my 2018 trip. Burma is seldom visited but is an important place to visit if and when you can. https://t.co/XPOUgtfnpY

Conditions were perfect for two days to create a winter wonderland. In a cloud for two days, maybe 300 feet visibility, snow for a day and then the cloud freezing on top of the snow. No sun since two days ago.

For flatlander leaf-peekers traveling to the mountain. This is what it looks like today at 3,500 feet.

For reference Wilkesboro and Lenior are 1,000 feet, the "ridge" of the Blue Ridge is 3,500 and high mountains, such as Roan and Grandfather, are 5,000.

Scientist claims life on Earth was not random... but engineered https://t.co/bKpjE3It6W via @DailyMail
Just saw this new theory on how our Earth was created. How is this "new" thing different from the Old Testament?

September is a good time to visit the mountain. The air is crisp and cool. Too early for leaf peepers. Might be thunder storms (and they are nice to watch roll through)

High Country visitors are about equally divided among day trippers, one night and two nights.

At Chip Perry's car barn. Who knows what is on the fender of this car?
