Just a couple years ago, when Glenn Youngkin was governor of Virginia, he spent his time imposing a reactive agenda on education, restricting abortion access, fighting sensible regulations on business, veto an increase in the minimum wage and criticizing the Virginia Clean Air Act.

But yes, please tell me again how both parties are the same.

Seriously, this 100 day plan is EXACTLY what Democrats should be running on this year and whoever the Dems nominate in 2028 (assuming we have a Presidential election then, I'm still not convinced we will) needs to hammer these home as well. Over and over and over.

SO...

I posted last August about all the people I personally knew who had died since May of last year (when I posted about a bunch of people I personally knew who had died in the year previous). And that number came up to ten.

Well, since August, more people I personally knew died.

- One of mom's cousins. When I was a kid, we hang out with them, either at our place or at their place in Greencastle, at least once, usually two weekends a month.

- Phoenix's grandmother

- Johnnie's grandmother

- My uncle's second wife's father

- A former coworker who had had repeated bouts of cancer after he retired

- A new coworker's father

- The second in command at my job when I started there 30 years ago.

So that's put us up to 17 people. All in roughly 2 years!

I know as you get older, you know more people who die. And all of the people I just listed were older than me. And death is not such a surprise for people over 70 or so years each. But still, to have so many people dropped so close together...

It's disturbing. And unsettling. And it's not likely to stop as I age.

Night arrives with her purple Legion (Part 7)....

Legion Lore

Colossal Boy

Today we have the Seventh member to join and the first to be native to Earth! It's Gim Allon aka Colossal Boy. A strange radioactive meteor crashed very near him and he inhaled the vapors coming off of it and wash bathed in that radiation. Afterwards, he found out he could increase his size.

One thousand years in the future, Earth's president is selected via lottery and election. A powerful computer selects the three most qualified candidates and then the citizens vote on them. For a time, Colossal Boy's mother, Marte Allon was president of Earth.

Colossal Boy had a long unrequited crush on fellow teammate Shrinking Violet, After a time, she started suddenly returning his feelings. It was only later discovered she had been impersonated by Durlan (see Chameleon Boy from last entry) actress Yera, and it was Yera who fell in love with him. Even after discovering the deception, Colossal Boy still loved her and didn't reject her, and they were married. At this point in the Legion's history, married Legionnaires allowed. And after a time, Yera was allowed to join the team as Chameleon Girl.

He was the longest continuous serving member of the Legion from it's founding until it's disbandment after the Magic Wars/Five Year Later. He never left the team over that entire period.

This is drawn by Legion artist Dave Cockrum.
