Another Los Angeles Lesson: GERM ALERT! Beware of Shopping Carts!

Next time you go to the supermarket, you may want to wear some gloves and place protective gear on your kids. At the very least, bring some wipes to clean the shopping cart handles. Turns out that those shopping carts are full of feces, germs, and bacteria. Some researchers swabbed shopping cart handles in numerous stores. Out of the 100 carts examined, 72 of them had fecal matter. A closer look at those samples containing fecal matter also revealed that 50 percent of them were contaminated with E. coli. What is wrong with people?!?!?! Don't they wash their hands?!














They found more bacteria in these shopping carts than what they find in the restroom of the supermarket. At least we know that the restrooms are cleaned properly, but don't bother with those carts! UGH!!!














Don't be surprised if some high-end market like Gelson's, opens up an area where you can push a cart through a wash prior to your use of it. Hey, that's not a bad concept.








Until the next lesson, Stay Down!

Las Vegas Lesson: Open Container in Las Vegas

Sorry for the long wait in between writings, but life has had me busy. I actually had time to go to Las Vegas over the weekend and other than the crowd, it was a good time. I was pleasantly surprised to see all those folks with open containers of alcohol walking down the streets. These people were walking with no particular place to go. Just like a herd of cattle. Hell, I stopped by the liquor store across from Caesar's Palace and bought an 18-pack and started the same routine like the rest of those happy drunks. I was enjoying the scenery and the drinks while participating in some exercise. This sure was a lot cheaper and more gratifying than spending booboo bucks at the casinos. After all that walking, I got an appetite and went to Treasure Island for some serious buffet eating action. Man, what a feast for $12.99!



I had so much just eating, drinking, and observing the lost herd of the crowd. I can do this scene without effort. Who needs to gamble when you can eat and drink?
When you go to Las Vegas, Stay Down!
