One point! One point! 😃 I heard the news on the radio this morning on my way to work. My place in the handbasket is assured because my immediate reaction was “Fuck yeah! I finally got some points!” Good thing I don’t carpool. I live in Graham country and if anyone else heard me say that I probably would have been joining the Reverend in the afterlife. ---

I am pretty sure it is a pointless death (although one that would have fit with my theme list of “The Canadians”): [Arthur Black](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/arthur-black-cbc-1.4546417), Longtime CBC radio host dies of Pancreatic Cancer at 74. I listened to his show for years ☹ ---
