How many shopping carts does your typical Walgreens even have, 6? And do we really need to do MORE to make shopping carts inoperable? I mean every cart that I ever get stuck with sounds like I'm pushing a led sled over a chalkboard with speed bumps with its bent and out-of- alignment wheels already.
Lastly, who shops at Walgreens with a shopping cart anyway? Don't answer that, because I already know. It's the person with 22 coupons in front of me with a cart full of scavenger-hunt-type merchandise which together comprise the most eclectic and complicated-to-checkout purchases in history.
All the while, I stand there holding my gallon of milk (sounded dirty but wasn't).

About a month ago, the scientific community was all a flutter over the firing up of the LHC or Large Hadron Collider in Europe. In short, we'll save you from the typical scientific geek's near orgasmic explanation, and say it's a machine that is built to smash atoms so the remains can be studied. The remains of the collision provide possible insights into the creation of the universe and all matter as we know it. Had enough? Yeah, same here.
Anyway, there have been a few in the scientific community that say this collision could produce a black hole that will swallow and crush the Earth ending our existence. That's kind of a BIG side note.
The first collision isn't scheduled for a couple of months and the collider is actually broken right now so we're good. However, the end of the world maybe closer than anyone realizes.
For instance, what will happen when a new Walgreens opens up directly across the street from another Walgreens?
Doesn't THAT represent the nexis of the universe and the end of life as we know it?
Seriously, the pharmacists have won haven't they? We chronicled the encroachment of pharmacists in MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 4 back in February.
Alright, obviously the old Walgreens will close to make way for the new one. But what business will go into the old building?
Seems like a logical expansion for, say, a CVS?

After such an epic collapse of the Cubs, not many things turn my frown upside down. I mean, seriously, the best record in the national league and you get swept in the first round of the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row.
Oh, and it's been exactly 100 years since the team last one the championship. Honestly, hollywood couldn't write it any more sadistically.
But, there is a silver lining.
At least I don't have to change my license plate.
