Possessed golf carts

Yesterday I could have lost Jesse. He was at work, moving lumber into a garage with a co-worker. There was a golf cart under some blankets that needed to be moved out of the way, so Jesse kneels down next to it and turns the key to start it. Well, it started alright, and shot full throttle straight ahead right through a closed garage door! And I mean through a garage door. He kept his wits about him, like usual, and was able to pull the cart back to turn it off. It was so scary and bizarre!

Here is a picture of the golf cart.

Jesse's boss Dave is standing in this picture and if you notice he is smiling. Thank goodness that he can find the humor in a situation like this. The whole crew came over amazed and astounded and started snapping pictures. Jesse was still pretty shaken when he came home.

Of course, later, some of the folks that live on the property tell him that the golf cart is named Wally and almost killed the mother of one of the workers. I guess it has some sort of acceleration problem where the pedal sticks down and doesn't come up unless you pull it up! They jokingly made reference to Steven Kings' Christine.

I am just so glad that no one was hurt.
