Weenie Roast

Can you imagine the aroma in the air? Nothing like a weenie and marshmellow roast on cold night with a full moon. I think this was a little out of control though:

URBANA, Iowa -- A semi hauling 44,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer hot dogs caught fire late Tuesday night on Interstate 380 near Urbana, which is between Cedar Rapids and Waterloo. The northbound lane was shut down and Linn County's hazmat team was called out to contain diesel fuel which powered the refrigeration unit on the truck. Hazmat chief Tom Ulrich said the driver told officials that it sounded like something broke. Part of the steel frame then caught a wheel on fire, and flames engulfed the rig. The Iowa State Patrol, which is investigating the accident, said the driver's name wasn't immediately available.

I wonder if they were plumpers? Somewhere there is going to be a shortage of weenies.
