They may not make the local news, but a snowstorm like the one that hit us this weekend (27 inches) brings out real heroes. I saw one in action yesterday — and it was me, Blogenberg.

The television signal went out. Many men would have panicked, it being just about 24 hours before Super Bowl kickoff. Not me. No, Blogenberg went into Super-Blogenberg mode. I dug out the garage door. I got the extension ladder and carried it 70 feet through nearly 3-foot-deep snow. I put the ladder up and climbed to the roof. Unable to reach the satellite dish, I climbed back down the ladder, trudged back to the garage, and got a paint roller, which I attached to an extension pole. Back through the deep snow I went. Back up the ladder I climbed. I was able to clean the dish with the paint roller.

Back inside, the television worked.

Yes, the next time you see a super hero changing in a phone booth, it will be me, Super-Blogenberg. (Or it will be me, Super-Blogenberg, getting arrested for changing in public since there are no more phone booths.)
