No one's been posting race results lately - me included! Formula 1 is now on its summer break, but to summarize the season so far, Max Verstappen won his eighth race in a row last Sunday and his 10th out of 12 this year. The other two races were won by his Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez. Although there has been some good racing behind for the remaining podium positions and points, y'all can probably see why I didn't bother posting the F1 results.

Roger, I'm sure the feelings will come to you in waves. My friend who lost her mother recently suddenly got hit with the realization that she'd never see her mother again about a week ago. Another friend of mine lost her father around the same time. I bumped into her earlier for the first time in a couple of weeks, and she's still on an emotional roller-coaster going back and forth across the country sorting things out. If you want to wrap up this thread, that's for you to decide, but no one will complain if you want to keep posting. HNet is generally a happy place where we come to escape the troubles of the world, but it also has some nooks and crannies for topics like this.

intelligence Sometimes quoted with "military" as an oxymoron. Some of the movie was filmed across the river from where I went to college in London. Sadly, without the web back then, I only found after the area had been redeveloped.

Yesterday we lost Irish singer Sinead O'Connor at the age of only 56. I'm aware that she was a very controversial figure, especially in the US, but she always stuck to her principles rather than chasing fame or fortune, and campaigned for some worthy causes. She also struggled with mental health issues. There's been a huge outpouring of tributes over here for the singer with the fantastically pure voice. She influenced so many female artists including Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette. P!nk even sang 'Nothing Compares 2 U" to honor her in concert last night. From her 1987 debut album 'The Lion and the Cobra', here's 'Mandinka':

Skipper - I replaced your link with an embedded video. A lot of people don't like clicking links, especially as you gave no indication what video you were linking to.

GREENVILLE The run that one of the armored cars was on in 'Sky Bandits Over Hazzard'.

I'm so sorry to read this news, Roger. I've literally just read a message from a friend of mine who lost a close friend over night, and that's just three weeks after she buried her mother. I obviously never knew your daughter, but you've shared various stories about meeting her over the years, so I feel like I know a bit about her. You'll be in my thoughts.

New ORLEANS Where the bad guys tell the Dukes they're heading in 'Robot P. Coltrane'. You actually reacted to my 'K' post - Sergeant KATCHER!

Sergeant KATCHER Alias used by Wilbur to trick Daisy in 'Targets: Daisy and Lulu'. Cooter's farm was "two miles east on Jessup Road".

Any progress is good, and you're definitely heading in the right direction. Great job.

James Cameron's company does have submarines and submersibles (there's a difference) that can safely take the pressure and even go the bottom of the Mariana Trench which is nearly three times deeper than the Titanic. According to this article, he's visited the wreck 33 times. The problem with OceanGate is that their vessel was insufficiently tested and uncertified, and many experts had expressed doubts about its construction. You can already take a virtual tour of the Titanic without leaving your front room (see video below), but now that it's possible to visit in person, some rich people are always going to want to say they've actually been there. The second video shows a very detailed 1:350 model of the wreckage with an explanation of which parts survive and which bits don't.
