Chronicle columnist Ken Hoffman ran this missive from a reader over the weekend (Hoffman’s response is italicized):
Regarding your column about the restaurant being told it can’t give away free french fries to motorists during rush hour — we can disrupt traffic to take something (panhandling), but we cannot disrupt traffic to give something away?
Bob Cress, Houston
Maybe the restaurant should have given the french fries to panhandlers. Sometimes Houston is like living in the Bizarro World.
