    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

    Always worth a re-read

    I just re-read, for the sixth or eighth time, one of my all time favorite books:
    Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal, James D. Hornfischer

Halfway through the season · 6:41pm Jul 10th, 2022

Today marks the halfway point of the Formula 1 season.

Let's compare the present situation to my pre-season predictions:

  1. Red Bull (my prediction: 1)
  2. Ferrari (my prediction: 2)
  3. Mercedes (my prediction: 3)
  4. McLaren (my prediction: 4)
  5. Alpine (my prediction: 5)
  6. Alfa Romeo (my prediction: 9)
  7. Haas (my prediction: 7)
  8. Alpha Tauri (my prediction: 6)
  9. Aston Martin (my prediction: 8)
  10. Williams (my prediction: 10) (RIP)

Not bad. It's interesting to see the midfield shakeup, for sure. Hope Haas can hold onto a solid midfield performance.

I’m hoping Haas can overtake Alfa by the end of the season. Would be really nice for the team to recover from dead last in 21 to ending 22 in 6th!

That would be impressive! Although I rather like Bottas and Zhou, so I might have to hope Alfa stays ahead.

Micky Jr seems to have gotten some confidence finally.

Well if Ferrari will go clowning to the rest of the races... Is not imposible

RIP Williams, from one of the greatest to a total joke.
Mick in a better car may shake up the whole field.

Well, they were on fire today... Sort of.
