A recent post to the Houston Press blog Eating Your Words discusses a baffling incident that almost feels like it’s straight out of the Twilight Zone. It involves local food truck The Modular, run by Joshua Martinez, and an as-yet-unnamed HPD officer. Quoting the article: “[The officer] told me, ‘You’re supposed to move every 59 [...] Again I find myself with about 10 to 20 posts I want to write, and the time to write maybe three of them, tops. Actually right now, since my PC is inaccessible, I have the time to write this all-too-brief post before it becomes too untimely.

This morning, at 10am, as mentioned in a post to Swamplot and a story on KPRC’s (Channel 2) website. And [...] I will admit Wayne Dolcefino drew my ire years ago with one of his investigative reports that had some annoying consequences for me personally. I’m not going to go into details but it’s been well over a decade ago now and it’s water under the bridge. Anyway, this is 2010, and Wayne’s latest report about [...] |
