I saw a woman pushing a grocery cart containing a baby today. This wouldn't have been strange if we were actually in a grocery store. But this was on a sidewalk miles from the closest foodstore. I got the impression that this was not just a one-time occurence: the trolley was kitted out with blankets and toys--it even had a little cardboard "license plate" (it read "Jemel"). There was also something resembling some sort of small, yappy dog in there with the kid, although it may have been a squirrel or some other member of the rodent family. It was hard to tell.
