Owner of a Lonely Cart

Happy Music Monday! Let me explain: Today I sought a somewhat hilly course for my second run and noticed a lonely shopping cart atop a hill near Southpointe Mall in Lincoln. So I decided to stop there and maybe return the cart to its rightful store. Why? Because...

Ice Bath Therapy
