I am a superhero, chum. Evil, in any form, is definitely not okay with me. I love coffee, and Wordle too. My sidekick is Arthur, who's still socially shy.

Well, I know I feel safer knowing this marauding children's gang of infielders, outfielders, pitchers and catchers won't be able to terrorize the good people of Williamsport.

Afternoon patrol of The City in progress.

I wanted to post something about brain-dead individuals who are offended by Superman's virtuous nature, but words are failing me at the moment. Sad that evolution is so elusive for some.

I just turned down the role of Grand Marshall of The City's Fourth of July parade tomorrow because frankly I'm not sure there's reason to celebrate.

Elected evil is the worst evil.

Honestly, Arthur, I don't see what's so supreme about it. Supreme seems like an out and out fib.

Be careful, Greg!

Friday greetings, Bluesky.

The notion of Friday the 13th being ominous just seems quaint at this point.

Stay strong, everyone.

I've heard it said that action is the antidote to despair, Zig.
We need you, too.

Persist, chum.

For the record, I stand just over 7 feet tall, weigh around 550 (give or take) and could probably throw a small car over the left field wall at Fenway Park from home plate.
Having said that, I have questions, as did Senator Padilla.
We clear?

To uh, quote a friend of mine:
So, this all seems horrible.

So it seems, Dizzy.

Thursday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress!

It's a strange (yet vaguely familiar) feeling starting each day with the thought "I wonder what (insert evildoer here) and the president will be up to today."

Stay strong, everyone!

Wednesday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress!

A patrol first: Arthur retrieved someone's wayward pet canary (in mid air!). Winged sidekicks, am I right?!

Onward and upward!

Afternoon patrol of The City in progress.

To reiterate, bad guys bug me.

Sometimes the most difficult challenges are the ones most worth taking on, eh Dizzy?

Tuesday - and Earth Day - greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress!

Protection of the environment here in the US is up to us. The 'P' seems sorely lacking in our EPA.

Stay green, everyone!

Hah! Guess I missed that coincidence by more than 'just that'!

I tried to answer honestly. If I wasn't sure, I'd go with the lower choice of the two. Maybe that impacted my score.

Egad, Dizzy. You may need to take over for me. I scored an 86.

Monday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress!

The best thing to do when you don't know WHAT to do? Do the best thing you CAN do.

It works for me, and I hope you too.

Sunday - and Easter - greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City continues!

Limiting myself to a half-pound of jellybeans, and feeling very disciplined. I learned from last year (turns out four pounds was WAY overdoing it).

Stay moderational, everyone!

Love doesn't begin to describe it, chum.

(But honking anyway!)

Saturday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress!

Currently a large and peaceful 50501 protest going on near Third and Long. Great to see such support for our Constitution.

Stay resistant, everyone.
