Once again, I wish I had a picture of this one. Actually, I do, but I used my cell phone, and I lack the software to transfer the picture to the computer.
I went for a walk along a nearby trail this morning. It was cool and pleasant, and I was amused by the ducks paddling about in the river. Then I saw something metallic sticking out of the water on the near bank. As I got closer, I could see that it was a Wal-Mart shopping cart. Drowned.

Sighted: 4 Carts; Rescued: 2 Carts, Utah, United States
This morning, I had to take the car to the repair shop. I took a picture of the latest cart abandoned near my apartment.
The neighbor's kids had been playing in this one throughout the previous day, using blankets to make it into a kind of tent. I have to admit that, in a way, it was cute.
I had to leave my car at the shop for the day, and, still having to go to work and take care of some other things, I walked home. On the way, I found this cart. Obviously, it belongs to a K-Mart. The only K-Mart I know of is almost three miles away from this parking lot. I couldn't return this one, but I have to wonder just how it ended up here.
I also found these two carts resting under a tree. One was only one parking lot away from home, and it was on my way, so I could return it without risking being late for work. I'm hoping that the previous evening's wind blew this cart over. I'd hate to think that someone deliberately knocked it down that way.
Notice the car in the corner of this picture? It was occupied. A woman was sitting in the driver's seat, waiting for something. She gave me some very strange looks as I took out the camera to document some shopping cart abuse. She gave me an even stranger look when I returned one of the carts.
While two carts, though far from home, enjoyed the shade of a tree, one other cart was not so lucky. It had toppled over somehow and was left helpless in a parking lot desert.
I returned this cart as well. It's home store was on my way home to get my stuff for work.
