Our unscrupulous hero was last seen changing his location, feeling that his old nesting grounds to be safe, he moved closer to the central area of town. Close to his daily life, it adds a sense of security to his identity to be so close to his alter-ego's hub of activity. Even for heros, moving can be a trying task to take on, with boxing, packing, moving, cleaning, unpacking, it takes a great wealth of energy to do it all.
Having successfully unpacked most of the house, Elliptical Man decided to do some celebrating! Without the help of the Tubby Tabby (whom has been tragically lethargic with suspicion having moved right across the street from the Dumpster Cats), EM sought all day for the right materials, food, and favors to through a mini luau! The day was warm and sunny, perfect to fire up the grill and get some kabobs ready for the lady, and in style too!
As always though, the Pocatello Wind is with a sense of irony. Having placed all the fun decorations (thrifty Mr. Elliptical Man got them at the local dollar store) our hero was ready to get the coals burning with anticipation of the skewered entrees to come. Before you could give to strides to the nearest stop sign, the bastard of bad attitudes, the ruiner of meals, the Pocatello Wind had struck, bringing with him a terrible rain storm!
Our hero, never to cave to any evil threat, stayed on to man the grill, and get the celebratory dinner no matter what! Toiling with effort, and shielding the grill from rain using local tabliture, EM was successful at foiling the Wind's effort to ruin his good times, and thus Elliptical Man saved the day once again!
