Has to be one of the best inventions out there. The lowly shopping cart. Especially for a guy without a car. I had to buy some paint at Home Depot today, but I don’t have a car so it is kind of hard to carry all that stuff back to the new place. I asked about delivery, but it was $60. I tried to rent a truck from them for an hour (only $20), but I don’t have car insurance (because I don’t have a car). This lead me to ponder how to get all this stuff home. Thought about calling a cab which would have worked but not my favorite idea. Instead the counter lady said I was welcome to use a shopping cart to walk the stuff back as long as I returned it. Since the store isn’t that far from the new place, that is the option I went with. It was kind of fun walking down the sidewalk with a cart full of stuff from the Home Depot.

There was a time when I was living in Champaign that I use a cart to move from one apartment to another. They really work well. I understand why homeless people always have them. Writing that makes me think that they are in between apartments also, but they just have a longer wait for the new one. That is kind of sad. Not the way I wanted to end this. How about you picture me walking down the street pushing a shopping cart. It had to be a funny sight.
