Lost Boot

Here's another mystery. How does someone lose a boot in the middle of the street? Was this person on a pre-St. Patrick's Day binge and was so hammered they didn't even realized they had lost a boot until they got home and saw that one foot was sopping wet and frostbitten? I'm at a loss here. Happy St. Patty's Day little boot and to all the Velvet Sea universe. May you get plowed but not plowed over. And may you come home with both your shoes.
