So, Jan's mom sent her this email the other day...read it below...it is quite crazy...

Hi Guys,

Hope your day is going well.  Last night I was setting the VCR to record some shows when I heard a loud crash.  I could not figure out what it was so I went outside to check it out.  I walked around the side of the house where the air conditioning unit is located.  To my surprise, the unit had been knocked off of its concrete base and away from its connections.  I could not figure out what had happened.  As I walked back around to the garage, a guy came flying thru the alley on a 4-wheeler and I thought then that maybe he had decided to fly through our side yard and jump off that little hill.  So, I went back to look to see if there were tire marks in the grass.  As I walked toward the front yard, I looked up to see a steer staring at me with horns about 8 inches long.  Freaked me out!  I thought it was going to charge me so I backed up.  It moved into the next yard.  I walked out carefully to see what the deal was.  As I reached the front yard, I saw about 8 emergency vehicles in the neighborhood with the flashers going.  They were from the sheriff's department and they were trying to catch the steer. 

I discovered on my way to HHP that a cattle truck had wrecked with about 36 cows - 4 were killed right away and others shot by the men trying to catch them.  A small truck caused the cattle truck to turn over on I-27 right before the exit to Western.  What a mess!  You can read about it in today's Globe news.

Interesting huh!

Love,

Mom
