Steve reports that today someone attempted to pawn a prosthetic leg.
When it was refused, he wanted to sell his wheelchair, re-attach his leg, and walk out. No word back yet on whether Steve bought the chair. He probably did, they can be quite valuable. |

I imagine there would be a reasonable demand for used wheelchairs in the ghetto as well, where you've got more family members having to take care of each other and no medical insurance to go around.

Steve reports that they did not buy the chair. "It was pretty beat up," he said.

Basic wheelchairs are totally cheap. People steal them from clinics and EDs all the time. They wouldn't be worth anything to pawn.

My FIL has a cheap one he's been using for a few years. The vinyl on the armrest pads has cracked and I've needed to replace them, but other than that, it's held up very well.

This morning Steve reports: "I was walking down North Broad, I passed a guy carrying a water ice... and a moment later I heard a big thud. Looked around and there the guy is on the pavement, with his water ice, completely passed out."
He checked that the guy was breathing. In moments the cops were there looking the guy over. There's a precinct two blocks away. One of the cops pressed on a point on the guy's chest to roust him, and it works, and the guy is suddenly up and semi-alert again. |

Prolly rubbed his knuckles on guy's breastbone. Do it vigorously and that hurts like hell.
Works like 'smelling salts', sometimes. Pray tell, what is "a water ice"? [/showing my ignorance]

Italian Ice I know.
All I could come up with for 'a water ice' was an un-flavored Sno-Cone.

So, it's like a slurpee. Or a slushie.
I thought he meant 'ice water' where you take some ice, and pour water over it. |

It's much smoother than that snow cone. It's like sherbet, in texture. But the flavors are as accurate as jelly belly beans.
The mango is bedwettingly good. Swedish fish, pumpkin pie, cake batter.... Etc. Theres one in walking distance from Nissan.
