We had a little trouble getting the water hot enough for the steamers, but we improvised (as you can see below) and they turned out great. Erik Hoskins won last night and Rich [...]

Home-owner’s Insurance and 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. [...]

The conditions were pretty good but the rain clouds made it quite dark for the last stage. I won the [...]
