Way home from Canada

On our way home last Friday night, we were sitting at customs waiting our turn, when Drew noticed a HUGE something trying to squeeze thru the over sized load area. There was NO way this thing was going to fit. Some how it had already gotten stuck, and now we watched them try to shimmy it back and forth to move the item to the side a bit, so it could go. There were 2 top type things sticking out, 1 on each side but not across from each other, so once they got the first one thru, they tried to get this huge item to shift a bit to get the other top thru. Adam thought it was a cover for something! While they were trying to shimmy this, they had to move the truck back and forth, b/c that was the only way to shift it a bit. Well while moving back and forth about 1 foot, they went a bit too far, and hit the roof!!! We heard the big scraping sound! There were probably 10 people trying to help move it, and supervise! We definitely had something to watch while sitting there waiting! WHY they thought this HUGE thing was going to even fit thru, we had no idea! It just didn't look like it was going to happen. I snapped this 1st pic while sitting there, and the 2nd one after it hit the roof! While I was trying to take the 2nd pic, a guy that was standing around supervising told me I wasn't allowed to snap pics...oops!! The 2nd one was while we were actually sitting at the customs window! It was just CRAZY!!!
