I saw a 20-something guy riding an electric shopping cart in he store one day. Made me wonder, but I didn't say anything though, you never know. But another woman asked him "Do you really need that? There's a lot of people who do, if you don't." She eyed me, hobbling along with my cane. (which I don't use often, but needed that day.)

The young man said he was tired, his knees hurt from playing basketball.



The woman asked if he was a bit ashamed of himself, but he said no, and zipped away. She said something about it to me, like why didn't I confront him, maybe I could use that cart more than him.

I told her, "I didn't ask if he needed it because you can't tell by looking what's wrong with someone - you can't tell with me, unless I have my stick, here. And I am not using one of those things until I have no choice."

I think it's bad juju, you know? Like asking for trouble. Very superstitious about that.
