Is this really a problem?


We went to Walmart this morning.  No, that is not the problem.  At home, when pulling out a shopping cart, most of them are ratty and rusty - it doesn't take long when they sit out in our salt air environment.  Not so here in the desert - the carts all seemed to be in reasonable shape.

There was one accessory on the cart that I wasn't familiar with...


Look under the wheel.  Joan asked me if that was a brake.  Nope, it doesn't move.  As near as I can tell, it is a wheelie bar (??).  You can't stand on the back of the car and tilt the front end up.  Really?  Is that a problem?

We went to this particular Walmart a little after 10:00 am.  Plenty of parking spots available in the lot and the aisles in the store were nearly empty...


What a delight.  And, unusual; at least for any other Walmart we've been in.  At our Walmart at home, the aisles are crowded any time of the day.  Seems the "winter visitors" leave their carts in the aisles the way they park in the lot: at a diagonal.  Makes it hard to get around.  Joan thinks that is not intentional... I think it is some demented game like Roller Derby, and they are "the blockers."  We didn't come across a single blocker here.

The store was light and airy.  Sparkling clean.  Even the displays with the fruit were nicely done...


Yeah, it doesn't take much to impress me.  ;-)
