                  Have house, will travel.

In Erfelek district of Sinop province, contractor Erdoğan Kalyoncu's
father died and left his home without anyone to look after it in his
village.  Not willing to let the house rot in place, Kalyoncu took the
one-story house off its foundation and put it on a truck.

Kalyoncu brought the house to a spot near his own home.  En route
to its new location the moveable house caught the attention of
citizens who didn't miss the chance to photograph the event. Kalyoncu
explained that he had to do this to preserve his father's memory,
noting that "other than this house I have no keepsake from my dad."

Bus driver Karakuş lamented the incident. but pressed on.

In İzmit, a city bus driven by Mevlüt Karakuş, plate number 41 BR 252,
approached the bus stop at Seka State Hospital to pick up passengers.  At
the same time, Tacettin Yıldız wanted to pull out with his car from the
bus stop location but couldn't because of the bus.

In a rage (!), Yıldız got out of his car to confront bus driver Karakuş but
(as fate would have it) a minibus driven by Nihat Varol, plate number
41 P 3876, hit Yıldız and squished him against the bus, killing him.
