You can envision some poor grad student dutifully visiting every parish in a province, jotting down the number of full signatures and X's in the records.

Must've had a surge in visits. Nothing else to read on the internets, I guess. Justin: glad you're blogging again. Ryan: maybe you can write comically about bike racing? So many views on this post?

I need to get my endurance training for writing (obvious, as I start one extra blog post every month that doesn't make it online). Then I need to pick one (paying) subject and see it to completion, especially now that I am not taking professional courses, doing internships and no excessive overtime at work.
