Les #chariots de #supermarché devraient bientôt disparaître, voici ce qui va les remplacer

C’est le chant du cygne pour le traditionnel chariot de supermarché tel qu’on le connaît. Celui que l’on nomme à tort « #Caddie » du nom de la marque qui les fabrique sera bientôt remplacé par un autre objet, déjà en test, censé permettre de mieux gérer son budget. On vous dit tout.

#OTD Henry David #Thoreau wrote in his #Journal:

The thin #Snow... lodging on my coat
Consists of #Beautiful #Star #Crystals...
Perfect little wheels...

I should hardly admire [them] more if #Real #Stars fell.

#Nature is full of #Genius [&] #Divinity;
[No] #Snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
[They are the] #Wheels of the #Storm #Chariots.

As surely as [the] #Petals of a #Flower are fixed... these countless #SnowStars come whirling to #Earth.

What a #World we live in!
