This picture brought back a memory for me…. I was entering an old grocery store and an old man had just finished paying for his dozen bottles of wine. He ever so carefully eased the cart’s front wheels onto the mat that opened the doors, and every time the bottles bumped together he’d pause and let them settle, then ease a bit more of the cart till the whole thing was on the mat and partly out the doors. The front wheels caught on the sliders for the door so as he was easing the front wheels up and over that, the doors started closing. The doors banged against the sides of the cart. The man paused to let the clanging bottles settle again before going on, but the doors wanted to close, so the doors opened a bit then banged shut on the cart, opened and banged shut. It probably hit the cart 4 or 5 times before he managed to get out with all his wine intact. I found this enormously funny, not the man’s struggle, of course, but the fact that sometimes our best intentions of being careful doesn’t mean things go right.

Anyway…. I liked this photo, too. Glad this old guy made it out safely.
