Shopping Carts

Again I was waiting for Joka, this Saturday afternoon, to pick her up from work. I was waiting in my truck observing the parking lot. Next to the grey (or is it gray) car was another one parked. The owner approched that car and transferred his items into the trunc. Didn't move, touched or looked at the cart again and drove of. Lately it is pretty windy here in Edmonton, and I have seen wind proppelled carts driving by without a customer. So that loose cart can easily hit and damage your car. It would be fun to sue the PetSmart for that. I wonder if one would succeed. A couple of minutes later the owner of the grey/gray car arrived acompanied by a passenger. They talked for a minute when the passenger door opened. An empty milkshake cup was placed on the tarmac and they drove off. Nowadays at the bottom of an email message you probably find this "Please consider the environment before printing this message!!" Does that passenger considers this. Probably not, too studpid to operate email anyways.

Note from Wikipedia: Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century and it is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries. Canadians tend to prefer grey. The non-cognate greyhound was never grayhound. Both Grey and Gray are found in proper names everywhere in the English-speaking world.
