From the “Perhaps Submarine Duty Should Be Mandatory” Dept:

There are some lessons one can learn from spending any amount of time on a nuclear submarine that definitely apply to social distancing and navigating tight confined spaces. This is especially critical on an attack submarine (think Los Angeles class) which are much smaller than the missile submarines ("boomers" like the Ohio or Virginia class boats). One of the most critical is that unless you need to be somewhere quickly, you hug the walls or…

In a nutshell (!), I inherited a portion of my great-grandfather's mineral rights from under the family farm land in Southern Illinois which have had mining leases with several coal companies, the latest being Murray Energy that bought out The American Coal Company that operates the Galatia IL coal mine.

And it's almost certain that this is only the begining of the unsettled silly season when you consider that Vettel really…

This got ugly really quickly and the feeding frenzy for his seat with the Scuderia didn’t take long with Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo scenting the blood in the water. I wouldn’t have imagined Vettel scrambling for a drive but even more unthinkable is a possibility that a four-time World Champion will be all the way out on his ass way sooner than I would have ever imagined. It seems clear Lewis only has to…
