    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.

    Kid: Daddy, I want to go to Barnes and Noble, please.
    Me: Sure. Why?
    Kid: I want to read the first book in the "Warrior Cats" series.
    Me: Reading is always encouraged in the house. Get in the car.

    Kid: Finished! Can we order the next few books in the series?

Summer break predictions · 7:56am Aug 11th, 2022

Formula 1 is on their summer break. My thoughts, predictions, and vain hopes for the remaining nine races of the season:


Real predictions:

  • LeClerc finishes P3 in the driver's championship, down from his current P2. Checo or Russell will pass him.
  • Mercedes will finish P2 in the constructor's standings, and Enzo Ferrari will cry up in heaven with Ferrari in P3.
  • Hamilton will win one race, LeClerc two more, and Max the other six, taking the record for "most wins in a single season."
  • I'm not going to predict "Max world champion," because that's the equivalent of predicting "the sun will rise in the east tomorrow."

Things that are less likely but entirely possible:

  • Russell wins a race.
  • Mick Schumacher scores some more points and doesn't lose his seat next year.
  • Zhou Guanyu gets points several more times and doesn't lose his seat next year.
  • Lando gets another podium.
  • Checo gets back on form and finishes P2 in the drivers' championship.
  • Checo is the first Mexican to ever win the Mexico Grand Prix.

Impossible things I would love to see:

  • Lando wins a race.
  • Ricciardo wins a race.
  • Tsunoda wins a race.
  • Hass P5 or better.

What are your predictions?

Given that Mattia claims everything is fine and nothing has to be changed, I can believe in every weird thing happening to Ferrari...
