Hi All, Season's Greetings! A video of California State Route 84 has just been added to Videos of Worldwide Highways, a Calrog.com component. Niles Canyon, two-lane rural traffic and Charlie Chaplin are all discussed in the one-minute-and-four-second presentation. The last video of the year can be found in two ways: (1) Through the site's RSS feed, which automatically feeds content into your Internet browser: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/vwwh-rss.xml (2) An analog hyperlink: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/ca-84.wmv Enjoy!

If you're ever in the Sunol/Fremont area, it's definitely worth riding! :-) Cheers, Carl Rogers "Adding human experience to highway enthusiasm" ******** Calrog.com, http://www.calrog.com : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An integrated media arm in Turn-of-the-Century PC Development, International Highway Research, and Interpersonal Psychology.

Be that as it may, she at least walked in front of that bulldozer with both eyes open. She didn't blindly stumble in front of it by accident and suffer a completely meaningless death. SignatureI hate speediots - especially Carl Troller. > Hi All, Can I assume from your silence that you have no answer to my question? A question asking for the definition of a term you used? Can I then assume you are using terms to which you don't know the meaning? Just adding Interpersonal Psychology to highway enthusiasm and the human experience. Take care, Rich God bless the USA > Season's Greetings! A video of California State Route 84 has just been > added to Videos of Worldwide Highways, a Calrog.com component. I'm confused as to what use this video is. The audio is so garbled as to be hard to make out, and the videos just show traffic going by. I was expecting a trip along the route that would show me what it's like to ride that highway. Are the other videos like this, too? "David Kaye" <sfdavidkaye2@yahoo.com> said in rec.autos.driving: >I'm confused as to what use this video is. They're the equivalent of a souvenir postcard - or perhaps a QSL card is a better analogy. :) Like stickers on a steamer trunk, or stamps in a passport, these videos are a record of roads travelled. So Carl can say "I was there." >The audio is so garbled as >to be hard to make out, and the videos just show traffic going by.

While it's always desirable to produce footage which gives a good "feel" or "flavor" for what it was like to travel the road, circumstances do not always permit this. Sometimes the best one can do lies more toward the "snapshot" end of the spectrum rather than the "travelogue" end. SignatureI hate speediots - especially Carl Troller. > > Season's Greetings!
