Dave Knows: Elko

The days are getting shorter and I’m ready for bed at 7:00pm, it must be TV season again!
I love this time of year since Survivor and Amazing Race are both on, which makes me happy.  The wife watches NCIS and CSI, Desperate Housewives and a few others.  A couple new ones this year, Modern Family [...]
