Faithful readers may recall last year's post about the warring factions in the City of Houston who insist they each must stage the official MLK Day Parade downtown. Alas your correspondent regrets to report that no progress in getting along has occured since last year.
Today El Jefe spent the morning at home working in order to avoid the MORNING parade and just sped off for his office in time to get there before being blocked by the AFTERNOON parade. City officials finally held a coin-toss to determine which group got to have the morning parade which is in the heart of downtown and which got stuck with the afternoon permit for a parade just outside of downtown.

So we're not all just getting along again this year. Maybe next year.
I do remember this from last year! And I'll wager that MLK is still sad about it, wherever he rests in heaven!
