Found this while looking at the weekly local Sheriff's report

Quote:

5:23 p.m., U.S. 380: Major accident; a bale of hay fell off of a PT Cruiser

Don't know why, but that just strikes me as funny

Was probably a square bale (you never know), but I just have this image of a PT cruiser with a round bale as big as it tied to the roof.

wired tied small sq of brome averages 65-70 lbs...
alphalfa is what around 100-110?

I also instantly had the mental picture of a 2000lb round bale strapped to the top of a PT Cruiser, but I guess that would flatten one of those wouldnt it?
