    Sondra Ashton|Updated Sep 3, 2015

    I love my Montana home, which, along with Washington, Idaho and our neighbors north and south, is burning. Love is, indeed, blind. If we have any sensibilities at all, our hearts are on fire.

    Being a quarterback isn't easy. In fact, it's one of the most difficult positions to play in sports. Yet, Dane Warp has often made it look simple. Maybe it's because he's built like a prototypical quarterback, standing 6-4 and weighing close to 200 pounds, or maybe it's his athleticism. Warp isn't a speed demon, but he runs a 4.8 in the 40-yard-dash, is athletic and can do anything that's asked of him. He's also extremely accurate as a passer with great velocity to boot. Yet,...
