So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
My true love drowned in a dirty old pan / Of oil that did run from the block / Of a falcon sedan 1969 / The paper said '75 — Neko Case, Star Witness |

Pretty much every one of Erickson’s famed Vancouver buildings has leaked like crazy. Still, this does seem like a bit of a silly regulatory kerfuffle over annual continuing education requirements.
Famed architect runs afoul of regulator

August 15, 2008 at 11:15 PM EDTVANCOUVER—Arthur Erickson has been called Canada’s most famous architect and the first to put Canadian architecture on the world map.
But he is no longer allowed to call himself an architect, according to his home province’s regulatory body. Or at least not when it comes to buildings currently going up around Vancouver with his name attached to them.
The Architectural Institute of B.C. has sent him a warning letter saying he needs to clarify what he’s doing because local marketing and news articles about several prominent buildings under way make it sound as though he is working as an architect.
“This is a very dear and honoured member of the profession whom we want to celebrate. But he’s not entitled to provide architectural services without being registered. And he’s not,” said Jerome Marburg, the AIBC’s director of legal affairs and licensing. “We can’t make an exception for Arthur because he’s Arthur.”
