Bringin’ the roof down…well, actually peeling it off

I was on my way to a decisive victory on the air hockey table at Midway Lanes, when I had to do a double-take. This truck was parked in front of the Dakota Maid Bakery building. Something looked a little weird about the top and back of the truck. Yep, when I turned around to take a look, I knew my peripheral vision had been correct.

Owie. I’m not sure exactly where this damage was performed, but it sure looked ugly. The top of the truck was literally peeled back. The roll-up door was up, so I’m guessing they just parked it and transferred the cargo to a new truck. Bummer.

That reminded me of the other day, when I was sitting in a McDonald’s with my boys. A little truck came by with a ladder in the back, propped up against the cab. It was clearly too high to make it through most drive-thrus, and I heard another table of customers remark about it. The truck went around the back in the drive-thru lane, but we never saw what transpired. When you have two toddlers and a lot of ketchup handy, there’s not much time to be gawking at the parking lot.

I could tell some funny insider stories about the KFYR-TV live truck with the antenna mast on top of it, but I’ll just leave that to your imagination 😉
