VS finally televised the first race of the Americas Cup in Valencia. It
consisted of two races run simultaneously. However, a major wind shif from
the NW to the E on the final leg forced teams to go to jib and tack on the
last leg (which was supposed to be a run!).
This race should have been cancelled.

It finally happened.... My kid is usually carrying a gun. He is often in the company of felons, drug dealers, and gang members. He has been in jail many, many, times and in court nearly as often. I told him he would get his name in the paper if he kept it up... and it finally ha

hey Tom.. I'm finally legal! In this mornings mail, I finally received a 'Canada Certification Label' for the LoadRite Bandit boat trailer. I need to fasten this self adhesive label somewhere on the forward part of the left hand side. No jail or $2K fines for me after all. That call

I finally got my first PWC! Any tips for me? Well, I did it. I finally got my first PWC. It's a '93 Seadoo SPI and appears to be in great shape. I can't wait to get out on the water! I wanted to check with you all to see if you have any tips for me in terms of maintenance, known quirks with this
