  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    Sometimes quoted with "military" as an oxymoron. ;)

    (I didn't go to Vietnam but the boot camp part of the movie was amazing with it's realism) 

    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. :(

  4. 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':
