Such good defense from Lando. Loved to see it.

Like. It’s weird. I like Zak. I like Lando. But something about McLaren gruffs me. Bearing in mind I joined the sport in 2010 and was a BUT fan during their Vodafone livery days and started watching with ALO at Ferrari … They’ve just been shit to their drivers from the HAM/BUT days onwards. Bad choices in partnerships. Yadda yadda.

At least they got more sponsors on the car since 2016.

They just make me shrug.

They’re fine, but they’re kinda fuckups.

I want to see more privateer teams like them and Williams do well. But I also want 12 teams on the grid and I don’t want to see teams disappear.

Somehow the formula needs to have more chance for competition?

Shrug.

Lots! They mind their business and so do I! Zero bad experiences.

And the yard smells amazing. We have a lot of low bush blueberry, blackberry around the yard edges.

We’ve planted some hazelnut and bearberry this year as well. Our state has a municipal nursery of all native species. On our .6 acres we’ve planted ~200 saplings of native trees. White pine, paper birch, sugar maple, spruces, cedar, etc. The tallest from last year are soon to reach 3 feet. I can’t wait for the privacy and the young forest on all the edges.

We were attracted to this home because there’s conservation land somewhat surrounding us, so while it’s a single family home we are preserving nature more than many developments.

Also, we have tree frogs, turkeys, and an absolute pile of fireflies! I had thought fireflies from my childhood were good and gone. It turns out now ( based on my cursory reading) that fireflies are an anchor species.
