Have a few Slams behind me. If looking for classic buff white tip presentation; look at Wyoming or the Desert SW. Arizona and NM. The Dakota birds look more hybrid “Mer-Rio”; but, definitely behave Merriam. We hunted the Oglala Sioux Reservation and some private land there. I’m many yea...

Just got back… It’s far and away the best screen offering of Dune. I’d recommend seeing it in IMAX if given the chance. I have one casting choice which sort of fell flat for me; but, the sum of the parts is really quite good....

Rome or London… Rome gives them a taste of real history and something they are familiar with. They’ve undoubtedly seen some of the monuments in their classes and who doesn’t like pizza? The Vatican is right there too. I’m dumbing it down a lot here; but, you get the gist. A 12yo’s eyes are on...

I’m all about Swarovski. I own Zeiss, S&B, Leica and more. At the end of the day; they are all very, very good. I’m sold on Swarovski for their customer support. I’ve got an old pair of 10x42 Binos I bought new in 2000. Literally; 24 years old. When I got back from Safari in Africa I was a...

[quote]Where are houses en masse worth 4X what they were 10 years ago?[/quote] The entire gulf coast of Florida, extending from Cape Coral north all the way to Tarpon Springs. I’ll give you a personal example. I purchased a modest 2000 sqft home in September 2007 for $225,000. The exact same h...
[quote]Self-insure seems like a good answer for those able to save up the replacement value of their home and put it into some kind of low-risk fund that can at least keep up with normal inflation.[/quote] That’s the challenge, many of these people are on fixed incomes or retired. The house they...
Florida has become a nightmare. There are still claims that haven’t been paid out following Hurricane Ian. That’s been 2+ years ago. There are still homes with tarps on the roof in Punta Gorda and Naples. This has lead many to believe that if a major storm comes through the insurance compani...
