Thoughts about taco wagons...
Actually, just one taco wagon. We like Mexican food and I had decided that
the now infamous taco wagon was the cleanest one.
That's why we chose to buy from it.
This has nothing to do with whether the owner is guilty or innocent.
Who knows?
I was more than a little upset when I learned that the truck was allowed
to remain open because it was under investigation for selling drugs.
I tried to reassure myself that no meth was actually in the truck,
that the business was merely a front for laundering money.
Then a city official told the newpaper something to the effect
that there wasn't anything wrong with the taco wagon,
only that the guy was peddling dope out of it.
Such strict regulations our city has, yet this business stayed open
and sold us tacos so the authorities could investigate drug sales.
I wondered exactly what regulations would allow this and yet close some
little girls' produce stand due to some health code nonsense.
Huh?????
I am puzzled, but this is nothing new.
I began thinking about how you can stay in business if you sell meth,
but not if you sell melons.
Maybe this inconsistency needs further investigation?
I have the perfect name for the investigation if it takes place.
How about TacoGate?
GardenGate?
I want credit for thinking of the name!
Joe says that Crookneck SquashGate is good because
people will never forget it.
Hmmm...we were scratching our heads, but not as a result of using meth.
So, knowing that there are those who protect us from
the perils of produce, I have come to this conclusion.
During the time the wagon was under investigation, I am sure that
the authorities took steps to ensure that we were fully protected.
They care for us, you know?
I am certain that they placed custom-made signs within the wagon,
educating employees on how to simultaneously handle meth and mole.
Perhaps there were signs that said:
All employees are required by law to wash their
hands between drug transactions and food preparations.
Well, I am done thinking about this. Don't worry.
With taco trucks being under such intense scrutiny,
those remaining are most likely very safe.
I applaud those who investigate and
risk their lives to stop drug trafficking.
These kinds of investigations are necessary,
I know.
But that doesn't mean I have to like what has been allowed,
especially when the tacos I bought were for my kids.
As for those who closed down the little girls' produce stand...
why couldn't you have looked the other way,
just as you did while we were buying tacos?
