“Seven engines wouldn’t fit?” The quip comes as we stand on the dock at the 2020 Miami Boat Show, staring at the back of a Cigarette Racing 59’ Tirranna AMG Edition boat as it reverses into its reserved berth.

Be honest: Is Harrison Ford a dick? Actually, he’s a very funny, kind human being. He smiles a lot....

The dry season is hopefully slowing down across the West — a reminder of how important it is to be vigilant about forest fires. There are many former fire lookouts across the country, many of which sit unused thanks to the way we now scan for fire, using satellites and radar. They were all sited for their expansive views, and even if the job no longer exists, many of the towers still stand — and some of them are open to the public....
