On the news last night...

Not too long ago, the Tucson City Government was making a big stink about regulating roach-coach operators...well now they have reason!

I did not catch all of the news story last night, but apparently a Mexican Roach Coach operator tried to dispose of his murder victim by including him in....tamales!

Ihaven't heard the term "roach coach" for many, many years.
Man where they ever nasty.
Used to get lunch from one occasionaly while working at a manufacturing plant in Portland, OR. back in th 60s.
The 7 day old hot dogs served at the 7-11s today beats anything the roach coaches served.

I know some could be truly awful, but the ones that used to service us at Hughes Communications and later at DirecTV, PanAmSat, and Nippon Denso were pretty good. They kept me in breakfast burritos after Naugle's folded into Del Taco. One of those trucks even specialized in teriyaki bowls! Long lines formed every time that truck showed up at our place, and huge crowds formed for it over at the McDonnell Douglas plant on the other side of Long Beach. All in all quite good. But yeah, I think the term "roach coach" still applies to many of those trucks.
