Taken in the Summer of 2011.
It’s a monumental challenge for a police officer to spot an open container unless the offender happens to be driving the wrong way down the sidewalk backwards while asleep, or one’s car is wrapped around a telephone pole upside-down. However, if you get the Keg-o-matic 2000 dispensing system installed on your car, are you really guilty of having an open container? The hose that attaches the device to one’s lips is the only part actually inside the car.
NOTE: This blog neither condones nor celebrates driving while intoxicated. I just thought this car, which I saw in rural Hungary near the border with Slovakia, was amusing.

DAILY PHOTO: Phnom Bakhang
Taken in October of 2012.
Phnom Bakhang is at Angkor. Its hilltop location makes it a popular spot for viewing the sunset. One can walk up, or ride and elephant for a fee. However, the cost to ride an elephant to the top is relatively exorbitant (one can spend a day at elephant camp for the same amount.) I’d recommend walking, and catching an elephant ride somewhere where there aren’t so many canned tourists. The walk isn’t arduous. However, if it’s your only opportunity to squeeze in an elephant ride, then what the heck.

At which I attempted to learn the Hungarian language but was stymied by an excess of letters per word and an occasional disconcerting lack of vowels. (This is the main hall and wasn’t the building in which I was taught. Our classes (the language summer school) were taught downtown in a teacher’s college building.)

Taken in 2010
One thing I like about this photo is that the thin cloud looks reminiscent of chimney smoke, as if someone still resided in this rebuilt house that has been unoccupied for centuries.
