I reckon we might want to gear up for an Armadillo Sunday. And it’s nice that Mark was able to tear himself away from his family chit-chat long enough to get to the emergency situation he was sent down here for. I’m glad to see I was wrong about the stalling continuing. Rivera actually is moving the story along!

You’re not supposed to judge books by their covers, conventional wisdom says. We shouldn’t prejudge these hipsters employed by the Manatee Transportation Company as if they are anything like those laughably bad “hippie” portrayals that were a common staple in the old Dragnet TV show. Still, are these two people marine biologists or veterinarians? If not, where are the scientists? There are two more days this week where Rivera can introduce some support staff. But then again, if we insisted upon strict realism and proper protocols, where would the fun be? Mark is in the Land of Lunatics, Scammers, and Oddballs, so let the weird begin!
