It WAS the saddest news you’d read all day. This is my hometown. An entire pork plant shut down by fire.

I just recalled a time there was tractor trailer full of bags of potatoes overturned on the interstate.

The lanes were crawling while the fire dept. worked the scene. When we passed, there were a couple of firemen loading up 50lb. bags of potatoes into their truck.

I bet the firemen on this wreck scored well on bacon and ribs.

I’d bet $5 that one or some of their trained terror “cells” specializes in arson, among other things.
