Random Entry

Last week I was showing a friend around town, and as we were driving through downtown we saw a guy walking down the sidewalk with a ball and chain around his ankle. He had an actual steel, heavy, ball and chain, around his ankle. It wasn't black like in cartoons, and movies, it was mostly silver.

He didn't look amused by it. I imagine it was some kind of bachelor party prank that had gotten old. He actually had a perturbed, slightly desperate, and maybe slightly resigned look on his face.

The people he walked past on the street didn't pay much attention. I noticed he had a handkerchief or something under the metal band locked around his ankle. It was probably pretty painful.
