golden arches, originally uploaded by thomas.merton.
Before I went on my little weeklong hiatus, I wrote about how I like to say the word "egads". This is a story definitely worthy of an egads!
A giant set of golden arches outside a McDonald’s in eastern Arizona toppled in high winds Wednesday, crushing a Naperville couple’s Chevy Trailblazer as they sat inside the parked vehicle.
Retirees Russell and Carolyn Janke suffered multiple injuries. They had stopped at the McDonald’s on the Navajo Nation reservation in Window Rock as they were making their way back to suburban Chicago from their winter home near Tucson.
Navajo acting Police Chief Steven Nelson said winds hit 60 mph Wednesday, causing the sign to be blown down from atop a pole across the street from the restaurant.
Damn. This story tells me two things: McDonald's is definitely bad for you, and nothing good can happen when two people are sitting in a car.
