The ride today was fine, but someone else left a shopping cart from the supermarket right in the middle of the sidewalk. This was the situation that caused me to take a spill last week when I didn't see it in time (happened after dark). This time I was able to avoid it since it was broad daylight. I think I figured out why someone is deliberately leaving shopping carts in the middle of the sidewalk.

There is an apartment building next door to the supermarket, and the shopping cart was one of those with an attachment for a baby. I figure someone takes their kid with them to the supermarket and then rides him/her home in the cart with the groceries and leaves the cart in the middle of the sidewalk for someone else to take care of. This really burns me up. I'd love to give whoever is doing this a piece of my mind. They were the cause of my spill last week.
