Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s a fall Friday here in North Dakotaland and despite the COVID inflected atmosphere, the mid semester chaos has descended upon us with exams, papers, fall deadlines, and seasonal distractions in full effect.

We’re still a week away from the start of the Big 10 football season, but the mighty Eagles will be on TV out here this weekend, the Formula 1 guys are negotiating rain, fog, and cold in Germany, the NASCAR kids are looking at a chance of rain at Charlotte Roval, and one of my favorite boxers, Emmanual Navarrete is looking to be a 2-division champion tonight. In other words, what deadlines?

Hope your weekend is full of seasonal distraction as well and maybe there are one or two in this pile of quick hits and varia:
