I had some older man accost me once in a grocery store because I had my
purse in the kiddy-seat of the cart. He grabbed my cart and ran off with
it, then came back and lectured me, "You see how easy someone could take
your purse, young lady?" I wasn't young and I have never been a lady! LOL
I replied, "You know how fast I could have pulled out my gun and shot you?
And by the way, I don't keep my money in my purse." We both laughed about
it but I wasn't joking. He thought he was "saving" me from something.

While we were on our trip it got so windy in Davenport we watched a shopping
cart actually leave the little collection area at the HyVee supermarket and
careen into someone's brand new SUV. I guess it was trying to make a
statement.
