Well, we wrapped up the 2008 HPM season in style last night—New York strip steak, BBQ salad, fire roasted corn, and steamers.

The other day I learned that my home-owner’s insurance (Arbella Mutual) has a cap of $2,000 on stolen firearms. My agent told me that it is quite common for many insurance companies to do this and if you have firearms worth more than the cap amount, you might consider purchasing a rider for the policy. [...]

I’m sure a lot of you have seen these before, but they are definitely
worth watching again!
We managed to squeeze in the match last night, starting at about 6:30pm. There was some lingering showers but all of the severe weather had passed through (thanks go to Rick Johnson, our pronematch.com meteorologist).
