could this happen
Oh......Yea.........right..........Kentucky
Frances Barton's single-wide, the one she had fully paid $5,000 for and was hoping to move to a little piece of land she was buying on a $250-a-month land contract, is now literally in pieces on Jim Gaunce's front lawn.
Frances Barton cried Tuesday as she watched cleanup on what's left of her single-wide mobile home four days after it was overturned while it was being moved along U.S. 68 in Nicholas County near Carlisle.
And, everyone agrees, that leaves some 12 people four adults and eight children ranging from 3 months to 12 years facing Thanksgiving with no place to live.
How, exactly, the mobile home came to this odd resting place is where the story gets complicated. On Friday, Barton hired a guy to put her house on a trailer and move it up U.S. 68 in Nicholas County. When the trailer broke down and the house blocked the highway for hours on end, the sheriff got involved.

I almost wanna send her $5000, but then I remind myself that it is wrong to reward stupidity
You have to read it all, otherwise you will miss the bit about the sheriffs campaign platform, and the cherry pie
