    Security cameras for monitoring: Nest Outdoor or Arlo?

    Never thought I'd need this advice, but the day we arrived for our vacation in the Dominican Republic, someone broke into our house. It's a long story, but the short of it is, there are mental health issues involved and this guy is convinced he lives in our home (he rearranged our furniture...

    2014 Greenwich Concours D'Elegance Photos

    I made the trek to attend this show over the weekend and while it's much smaller than Amelia Island, the caliber of the vehicles on display was second to none including the 1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 in the first photo that sold for $1.210 million about 15 minutes after I snapped this...
