What's the deal with shopping carts these days? You put all your weight on the handle and they don't flip over on top of you. You stand on the bar right below the handle, and you don't fall on your back and crack your head open. This is one thing that gives me hope that we're actually making forward progress in this world. Yeah sure my stupid cell phone only gets reception in places that I don't live (i.e. not Hoboken, not Hampton, not Randolph), but at least something works: shopping carts.
