For Valentine's Day, as lonely as it was, I decided on this day not to coop myself home, but go on patrol.  It was cold to say the least, colder than in Dorchester the last time.  I'm definitely earning my hardcore points tonight.  I went back in Mattapan for the first time since the last attack on September 20.  I managed to go the same route but as you will see I conquered more than I expected.  I noticed the dive club I passed by was going thru increased guarding, probably because the holiday.  I decided to go simple because I was going more distance.  A man stop me asking which way to Roxbury.  I pointed north, which to his dismay was a distance away.  But we were close to Mattapan station, and the next bus was going to be in five minutes.  However, he didn't have money for bus fare.  So I gave him a dollar.  He thanked me & hurried to the station. I ran into a couple of men near Domino's Pizza.  One was real impressed to see me.  He loved what I did.  He asked me to do some poses.  He praised what I do & wished me the best.  I gave him my card, and he felt truly blessed that he has someone to talk to.  I noticed my holder was dropping my gear.  It was real embarrassing.  I managed to switch my gear to one of my pockets in my cargo pants.  A closer call.  I will fix the holder another time.  I managed to take a different route.  And I can tell, things were really going to strange.  I kept my focus and continue onward.  I managed to make it to a known road.  I noticed a BMW with the lights and engine on on the corner of Norfolk & Stanton.  I called 911 about an unoccupied vehicle.  I even managed to my surprise to go to Codman Square.  I ran into a group of people in a car, one was laughing and screaming.  I checked if she was alright.  She was just excited to see a real life superhero.  For what was cut short I managed to make a lot of distance.  I think I just proved I was a badass.
