i got mister a new leash today. my old one was cracked, like my soles, and r.'s duck tape repair was keeping it together. the new one is recycled mountaineering rope and it looks snappy. my camera attaches to it with a carabiner, appropriately. and if the po-po happens to insist it be used to restrain mister, it will serve that errant purpose too, unlike my old one, with the broken clip.
now, if only i could heal my soles.
