   This discussion about fuel islands and shopping carts reminds me of   
   something I recently read:   
   "The world is a peculiar place. Tottery old ladies, people you   
   wouldn't trust to navigate a grocery cart, are heading two-ton cars in   
   your direction at speeds of seventy miles per hour.  Our lives depend   
   on total strangers.  So much lacks logic or a proper sequence." - from   
   "Morgan's Passing" by Anne Tyler.
