Update time.... We've had quite a few hits in these past two weeks. Firstly, Vasily Kulkov got the qualifying obit after all... Things are bunching up in the higher ranks, as you'll see. Other hits were the already mentioned Marge Champion, Roberta McCain, James Randi and Rhonda Fleming. Plus two recent unique hits, Frank Bough for Pedro and Robert Murray for me.

I see that their vaccine is working tremendously.

B-Team-pick of mine, also AO pool. He was last in the Daily Mail 3 weeks ago, filing for black lung benefits... (Oh yeah, he definitely needed the money) Hopefully the Daily Mail (or Associated Press) remember.

4-time Grammy winner Arlo Guthrie retires after a series of strokes (and because of the pandemic) https://deadline.com/2020/10/arlo-guthrie-retires-original-woodstock-performers-alices-restaurant-song-inspired-film-1234602912/

not the first time this happened to me in the past 3 days

Viola Smith is hit nr. 226 - so we are 50 hits away from surpassing the record. We still have about 68/69 days left of the year (maybe 70-72 for delayed obits). So we kind of need about 50/70 obits per day for the rest of the year, i.e. 0.71 hits per day. So far in Octobre, we've had 15 hits in 25 days, i.e. 0.6 hits per day. And we've had 20 hits in September, i.e. 0.66666 hits per day. Now how many year-end obits, how many backlog obits can we still expect? What about.... I don't know... five? That would mean, we'd need about 45 more obits in the next 70 days, i.e. 0.64 hits per day. So... it's going to be very, very close.

Beautiful video for a good House track:

Under the radar name on my shortlist... ....infectious disease expert Val Curtis has died of cancer, already a few days ago: https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4119 She foretold her impending cancer death just a bit ago, and said that the medical bottleneck caused by the COVID epidemic might have been to blame: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/16/extra-cancer-deaths-this-year-covid19-nhs-health No sign of a QO so far, but I think it will or would have come.

Prince Azim of Brunei dead at only 36. Supposedly, he died after a "long illness". What could it be? https://borneobulletin.com.bn/2020/10/nation-mourns-loss-of-a-prince/ He was last in the news when Brunei declared homosexuality punishable by death... and he was a little suspicious himself... He also was a film producer and international jet-setter.

Another heart surgery: https://deadline.com/2020/10/arnold-schwarzenegger-recovering-after-second-heart-surgery-1234602892/ It seems like his death will be quick, somewhat unexpected, and the reason will be obvious.

So on my YouTube front page appeared the news that Jordan Peterson is now returning home to Toronto after 18 months (!) in hospitals:

Interesting to know, and sad. Still partly paralyzed by two strokes.

(there is nothing to see here) sorry! Edit: For drol, a Mirror "breaking news" obituary from last month.

The Mirror has already put out a QO, out of all places: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-marge-champion-snow-white-22885955

My slight deterioration usually begins with the third beer. It gets neurologically complicated then.
