Now where did I put my milk can?
Alive!
Keeping an eye out
Hard labor
Rufous Treepie
Not the best time to be a spotted deer
So where did you get your tattoo?
The man in the green turban
Ancient arches
Nap time
On the hunt
Now that's trust
In the spotlight

Honor the brave
From the statue's perspective

The Clampetts have nothing on us

This vehicle on the road between Jaipur and Agra, India reminded me of Jethro Clampett's vehicle on the Beverly Hillbillies television show. The chains hanging down from the front of the truck are part of the decoration that makes each vehicle unique.
This type of vehicle is known as a Jugaad. According to Wikipedia, jugaad means, "an arrangement or a work around. . . . Jugaad vehicles cost around Rs. 20,000 (less than US$ 400). They are known for having poor brakes and can not go beyond 60 km/h. They operate on diesel fuel and are just ordinary water pump sets converted into engines.
The brakes of these vehicles very often fail and one of the passengers jumps down and applies a manual wooden block as a brake. These vehicles do not have any vehicle registration plate as they are not registered with the Regional Transport Office (RTO). Hence, they end up not paying any road tax."
