Comment of the Day

Here at Eating Our Words, we try to preach safety at all times. But we have to admit, we admire commenter Dwdickersonjr, who wrote in responding to Joanna O'Leary's piece on eating and driving:

I have been eating while driving most of my life, usually due to time constraints. Long before the cell phone, I was driving a work truck, doing road service, in a '74 Ford E250 with "3 in the tree" manual transmission, while using a two-way radio, and eating jack tacos. And now people can't drive an auto-shift while talking on a cell phone... Slackers...

Man, we can't help it -- we just want to drive around eating jack tacos with you. And if you can explain to us what a "3 in the tree" transmission is, then bonus!

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
