Wyoming Breezes

Shopping carts left willy nilly in a parking lot have long been a pet peeve of mine. In Wyoming the wind blows - a lot- so loose shopping carts can easily ram into vehicles causing dents and scratches. Carts left in a parking space create obstacles for someone looking for a parking spot, too. Some drivers try to “nudge” the carts out of the space with their vehicle which can cause it to dent and scratch other vehicles as it rolls.  Thankfully, Laramie doesn’t have as many loose carts as other places I’ve lived or visited.  Do you have a pet peeve? 

September 2017 Since my knee surgery, I've been walking in the surrounding neighborhood(s), and I've found a number of camper trailers blocking most of the sidewalk which makes walking difficult.  Pedestrians are forced to walk on the lawns or over rocky and uneven ground, which for my recovering knee can be challenging. Sometimes it's easier to just walk in the street: not an entirely safe solution. I know the campers are parked this way to make them level. Unfortunately, this is not a temporary situation as the trailers tend to remain in this position for weeks at a time. To add another level of frustration, most of the campers have electrical cords leading to the house or garage, causing an additional hazard. One of the biggest complaints I have about my community is that it is not very pedestrian friendly. Does your community have safe places to walk?
