Another Cart

Last Thursday was another one of those "warmer than it should be in Minnesota for this time of year" days.  I walked north along the river with my trash bag.  I was on my way to the Plymouth Bridge to see if that Cub Food shopping cart had been picked up.  The Cub Foods cart was still there even though I had called Cub one week before.  But this is a Walgreen's Pharmacy cart in this photo.  It was in the weeds just south of the Plymouth Bridge.  This time I decided to just pull it off the slope myself.  Those suckers are heavy and I was wishing I hadn't quit that Body Pump class I used to go to at the YMCA.  I called Park and Rec and told them where I left it and suggested they pick it up before some kids decide to ride it back down the slope to the river.  I told them about the Cub Food cart too since it was still there.  I tried to pull that one up too and moved it about 3 feet before I decided that was not going to happen.  I hate to see this heavy junk end up in the Mississippi River. This summer the Conservation Corp will host the 25th Annual Great Mississippi Riverboat Cleanup.

 I'll be on one of those boats (with a friend).  I just need some rubber boots.  Maybe I should start working on my arm muscles too.
