Watch for and yield to emergency vehicles John Black 2022-06-06 | The 18 wheelers should have been able to see the sheriff's department vehicle coming but either did not see it or did not care causing the deputy to stop at the intersection.

Do you know where you are going John Black 2022-06-06 | Vehicle enters the road I am on from my left, crossing to the outside lane on my right in the process. As soon as I pass the vehicle then changes lanes to the inside lane and then to the lefthand turn lane.

Car crashed into a Backyard - Aftermath John Black 2021-05-30 | I did not witness this but the white vehicle went through a yard fence and stopped in someone’s backyard.
18 Wheeler Pulls Out in Front of Another 18 Wheeler John Black 2021-05-02 | It does not show as well on the video as it did being there but the 18 wheeler which turned did so to avoid hitting the 18 wheeler which pulled out in front of him. If you look closely you can see smoke from the right hand side trailer tires and also he was on the lift hand side of the concrete barrier after the turn.

Blatant Disregard for Right-of-way John Black 2020-08-09 | He rolled through the stop sign without coming to a full stop and pulled out right in front of me. Keep in mind that the wide angle lens makes the distance seem approximately double the actual distance.
She waved to me as she crossed in front of me John Black 2020-07-01 | I was hoping it would show up on the video but it does not, she waved to me as she crossed in front of me. At least she was a friendly driver.
Could not wait nine seconds for me to get through the intersection John Black 2020-07-01 | It was nine seconds between the time he pulled out and when I came to a full stop. The wide angle lens on the camera approximately doubles the distance between me and the truck when he pulls out onto the road I am on.
He rolled through the STOP sign John Black 2020-06-22 | I dropped from 55 mph to 25 mph to avoid hitting him. My speed is recorded in the lower right hand side of the screen.

Listening to OTL while driving to the ghosttown Post Office John Black 2020-04-20 | For anyone who does not know, OTL refers to the YouTube channel "Our Twin Life Family" and just to be clear I am not watching YouTube while driving just listening to YouTube while driving.
The search for oil & gas continues (about 75 yards from my house) John Black 2020-03-21 | These trucks belong to a company named Dawson who searches for oil and gas using seismic reflection as a method for exploration of geophysics properties of the Earth's subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy such as seismic vibrators (these trucks). I made this video about eleven fifteen a.m. but I had been feeling the vibrations for couple of hours as the trucks moved around the area before I made the video.
Oilfield fire John Black 2020-02-10 | The fire was several miles from where I was and the wide angle lens on my phone makes it look even further away. I could not tell what was burning but it is likely a bad lightning storm a few hours earlier hit an oil storage tank.
No Time to Wait in Line John Black 2020-02-03 | Complicated system here. Left lane turns left, right lane turns right, if someone is ahead of you wait your turn. Too complicated for some people.
Failure to merge John Black 2019-10-21 | It took me about thirty minutes to go the last two and a half miles approaching this on-ramp on a day and time when traffic is normally light along here. Both the front and rear of the vehicle are mashed and oil has recently been covered on the pavement just after where the wrecker is parked. Other than that I have no information on the wreck.
Out walking ran into one of my neighbors John Black 2019-10-17 | Ran into one of my neighbors three times while out walking but only got him on video twice. You may have to go full screen to get a good look at him, he was a little camera shy. And just in case you still cannot recognize him, he is a coyote. Coyotes are elusive and normally avoid humans therefore rarely let me get them on video at all unless I am completely out of their view.
Not just a fender bender John Black 2019-10-13 | Six patrol units and I think the man in the ground was handcuffed. I could see glass on the ground so the vehicle behind the patrol units from my point of view and the car off to the side a little ways down apparently did collide.
I did not know a person was there until he stood up John Black 2019-09-09 | I saw something in the middle of the road as soon as the pickup and trailer got out of the way but had no idea what it was until the man stood up. The wide angle lens on the camera does not pick him up until about the time he first moves. It is not clear in the video but that is a bicycle beside him. I do not know anything about why he was lying in the middle of the road.
Am I invisible? John Black 2019-08-28 | I was not sure he was going to miss me even after I came to a complete stop. It has been less that a month since someone pulled out in front of me on the south side of this underpass. Dakota Express Services is a hotshot service but running a stop sign and having a wreck will not help him make his delivery on time.
Who had the right of way ? (Two 4 way stop intersections) John Black 2019-08-15 | These are the I-20 service roads and JBS Parkway intersection in Odessa.

Do not pass on the left side of car turning left John Black 2019-05-28 | The horn honking is an eighteen wheeler coming up behind us. I guess he thought I should have turned left in front of the car passing me instead of stopping and waiting for him to get by.
Follow up on Salt water battery hit by lightning John Black 2019-03-13 | Went back to the Salt Water disposal battery after the fire department left to get a better look at the damage. The tank top I went to first is the top off of the metal tank in the battery and there was a fiberglass tank next to the metal tank. Sorry about the wind noise.
Saltwater disposal battery hit by lightning John Black 2019-03-13 | I drove by a little after ten a.m. this morning, the fireman told me lightning hit the tank about nine p.m. yesterday.
Police approaching from behind John Black 2019-02-02 | This video does not need much explanation, I saw the police vehicle approaching in my rear view mirror and pulled over to let him pass. He was not using his siren. He joined another officer who had a vehicle pulled over in a parking lot a short distance ahead of where I pulled over.
Close call - almost had a wreck John Black 2019-01-25 | First of all sorry about the focus, the auto focus sometimes focuses on the wrong thing. The speed limit here is 55 which is the speed I was driving. Since the driver just passed me he knew I was behind him and even if he did not he should have looked before changing lanes. No harm was actually done since I was able to get out of his way, but it was close.
Two bad turns, one intersection John Black 2018-12-05 | I could only backup about a foot due to a line of vehicles stopped behind me but that was enough to allow me to turn and get completely out of the way.
Wake of Buzzards John Black 2018-10-12 | The buzzards are after a javelina in the bar ditch. I don't know if the skid marks at the first of the video have anything to do with the dead javelina. If he was hit at the end of the skid marks he did not die instantly but instead traveled a ways down the roadway before collapsing.A vehicle ahead of me disturbed the buzzards just before I got there, that is why so many are in the air.
He lost it! John Black 2018-08-11 | I don't know what it was, but he lost it going around the corner.
