Revised blog-off counts
I'm pleased now to bring you a revised blog-off count, as shown at the bottom of this post. The method of counting was not checked closely and I may easily have overcounted*. However, as you can see the competition is very close at this point; 3 more posts is definitely within my ability.

A Few Quick Notes 464
-Today, like the past few days, has been relatively warm and incredibly humid. As I am writing this Environment Canada is reporting that the humidity is 99%, one of the few statements of their's that I am willing to take a face value.
-Neil and I had another brutally long DAGS meeting this evening. Hopefully the upcoming meetings won't be multi-hour drudgery sessions, though I guess these things tend to be a little like this. And, to be fair to those involved, the meeting went relatively quickly considering the quantity of business that we had to get through.
-We won another Ultimate game yesterday. Some how, even though we lost four players to injuries, we managed to gather enough people to field a successful team.
-I recently learned the creative force behind one of my favourite podcasts, Stephen Tobolowsky, signed a book deal based on the content of the podcast. I presume that this development isn't particularly surprising for regular listeners, the content always struck me as something that could easily be converted into a great book. Anyways, if you are into podcasts that transmit personal stories The Tobolowsky Files is definitely worth checking out.
-Through he reality show The Amazing Race our apartment has been introduce to the videos of KevJumba (AKA Kevin Wu). Over the course of the past few days I have been subjected to gales of laughter as a result of viewings of his videos. I guess that such reactions are an indication that I might consider checking them out.
-Apparently, after thousands of years without them, Newfoundland is now home to a breeding population of snakes, garter snakes to be specific. This is quite a development, and follows on the heals of the relatively recent introductions of squirrels and coyotes. What else will be living there by the time I next visit?
-While on the subject of snakes, Newfoundland seems to have recently introduced changes to allow its police officers to snake their way around probable cause when stopping cars. Apparently a reason is no longer needed for a police officer to pull a driver over to determine whether or not they have been drinking or committing some other infraction. While I suspect that this change won't receive too much press, I hope that this is either rescinded or challenged. It is not a minor change to remove probable cause from the range of considerations police must deal with before engaging in searches.
-It seems that the Western portion of the US, including Phoenix, is presently in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave. This should be fun. At least I will get to experience this 'dry heat' that I have been hearing so much about.
