Every work day I park at a local church parking lot and walk to the train station sometime between 8-8:30. On my walk I pass the county court house. Occasionally I’ll see some shackled convicts being escorted into the back of the court house. I usually steal a quick glance then look away. Or avoid looking at all if they are being obnoxious and whistling or some shit. Well, today one of those convicts broke free and ran away to a waiting get away car and he’s still on the loose. Yikes! I caught the 8:06 train today. The local newspaper I hate is reporting online that this happened at 8:05. Of course they are wrong since they can’t report anything to save their lives and I’m pretty sure I would have noticed a shackled man running towards me. Another is reporting that it happened at 8:20, when I would have been safely on my way to Boston. Either way, yikes. It’s super creepy knowing there’s some escaped convict out there but I’ve convinced myself that if he had an obviously well planned escape, he’s long gone from here.

yeah. like in my town. awesome.
Reason #1 why I am glad I don’t have to take the 8:06am train anymore! Ok maybe reason #1 is that I don’t actually have to work or commute anymore, but reason #2 is definitely not having to deal with runaway convicts.
Hope all is well – we are in Minneapolis on our way to Chapel Hill and I’m loving the unemployed life. Job search starts tomorrow, I SWEAR….
Hugs to you and Kim and Carron…. please deliver on Monday.
