have cart, will travel

One of the local homeless people left this cart parked here while scouting around the 'hood for something. I just finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy- the story revolves around a father and son that have lost their home and are heading south with all their possessions in a shopping cart. It got me thinking what a useful thing shopping carts are.
On a different note, a pedestrian in Central Square was hit and killed by a tractor-trailer yesterday morning. Its a sobering story by any account and because I go through Central at least once a day, it really got to me. I don't know the details, who's at fault, how it happened, etc. But to all my fellow walkers, please, you're never too old to look both ways before you cross the street.
