Man, the APA can be some real jerks sometimes… Looks like the formation of the Diamond Sportsmen Club got off to a rocky start. Found an article detailing some of the things they had to agree to which went well above and beyond standard APA guidelines. One of the more interesting bits I found is [...]

63.5″ is a lot of snow. I don’t care where you are or where you’re from. It’s not unheard of in the north country but for the southern areas which are getting slammed right now, it’s a ton. Some of these cities only see 12″ of snow for a whole season, others only [...]
