It really does amaze me how ignorant people are. Not only did some politician bring the proposition to the floor, but fifty-eight percent of the San Fran population voted for it. Washington DC had a similar ban that lasted for over 30 years until it was overturned by Federal Court of Appeals in...

... unless your buddies know you drive a Land Rover. Not bad, but I think the title of "Lamest Rover Accessory Ever" still goes to that spray on mud stuff, with "Soccer Ball decal" a close second. Never heard that whistle thing before, that's pretty damn funny. I never would have thought that...

Garrett in Montana? Good deal. I may be a day late and a buck short, but here goes... Make it down to West Yellowstone during the week. You picked a rather crap time to go, most of the locals are about ready to head back to school. So, everyone is usually getting their last run through the park...

Great stories. I have been lucky enough not to have a run in with a cat. Well, at least I haven't discovered if one was stalking me. The cat in those pictures was a very well fed cat and damn if it didn't look exactly the color of deer hide. Ubiquitous bear sign, numerous moose sightings...

To me, there is no automotive journalist alive who is quite in the same class as the reviews of Jeremy Clarkson. Bold, brackish, and unapologetically British, Clarkson's car reviews are almost never about the car. But they are almost always classics. But, probably my all time favorite piece...

You got a pretty damn long driveway. I'd like to think anyone out on a random drive-by would have picked a target a bit closer to the road. Besides, if it was random I would have suspected more people nearby with the same problem...and more than just vehicles. Nope, I think somebody had it in...

Last September during elk hunting season, a few buddies and I were gathering wood around camp when the hunter from the camp next to us comes walking through. He looked pretty damn exhausted, still in full hunting dress, and I caught something odd sticking out the back of his pack. He was anxious...

Driver opens up a lead on the final lap of a race and out of nowhere spins on the straight away, gets his front end clipped, and ends up in the grass. Race over. Thanks to an on-board camera, the crew (and the rest of the world) can analyze just what happened in painful detail... the evidence...

I can't drink it all the time, but Guinness has it's time and place. A night out with the guys? Perfect.

Nice fish. Sadly enough, it took me until last weekend to get out on the river this season. I ended up on the Henry's Fork in a great little spot just outside of Harriman State Park. Although the road to the spot was an old Forest Service road that was absolutely beat to hell, it was fun in...

Highly, highly, highly recommend the Garmin Rinos. GPS with a FRS radio built-in. You have all the advantages of a GPS, with the added utility of a two-way radio. Plus, you can transmit your coordinates to friends who have Rino units. The new Rino 530 has some very nice improvements over the...

The easiest thing to do is use Microsoft's Briefcase feature. The Briefcase is a feature that allows you to keep two folders (on two different devices) in synch with each other. Put one on your laptop with all your shared files in it and another on your work computer. Any time you make updates...

If you are looking for luxury and you like what BMW has to offer, forget Subaru. I am a big fan of the Subies (my wife owns a Forester), but a German luxury car they ain't. Tom and Ray from Car Talk likened them to a pair of worn-in sneakers and that's about as accurate as you can get. Living a...

Damn, I must have read too many posts from Chris-St.Louis...I am starting to post links to the local tv news. This, however, deserved some attention. Perhaps the Spud State could use him in some of their tourism commercials... Local man walks into a convenience store to lodge a complaint the...

Kinda funny, but I was just thinking about this the other day. I used to wave all the time, but I have all but given it up locally: the LRs that I run across simply look at me like I am strange. Then again, they may be on to something...or perhaps it's my bumper stickers "Got Attitude?" and a...
