Kingsville,tx. Hello raza I am David Duran, bill is on vacation, con today’s award winning barrio headline news:

Barrio mall climbs tree in standoff for the days.

Barrio sancho clause permits up this year.

And finally, barrio turkey farm avoids the hood.

The last few years somehow and some where the barrio turkey farm use to drive its turkey truck through the hood in order to get them turkeys to market. But in those two years at least 350 turkeys have managed to escape their slaughter and made a run for it. This year, the constable and county and city and state officials have promise the turkey farm owner que all them turkeys will make it to market con the police escort it will provide. El constable told us que those animal advocates won’t disrupt this year thanksgiving like years before, I promise and cross my heart to die. Yea right.  

It seem that the economic is on an upswing compared to last year says el senor carlos Valdez the barrio city tax collector. He told us que sancho clause permits were up at least by 25 compared to last year. What that means says carlos is que we are going to have more barrio persons walking around the hood dress like santa clause taking xmas pictures, yea the ones you want to remember twenty years from now.  Yet, carlos did warn us to warn you que not all sancho clause have permits in hood , so you need to be very cautious with which sancho you go to.

El constable cadena y su barrio task force surround Pancho Lopez this pasted Saturday morning, who was wanted for stealing and much other stuff made a run for it and climbed the oldest tree in hood. After several days of trying to persuade him to come down, he finally surrendered yesterday. By the way el senor Mario Munoz the owner of the tree is thinking of suing the county and the constable’s office for damages done to his front lawn and the oldest tree, where several old branches were cut and haul off without his permission.

Ok raza have a great Tejano day, and remember que we don’t do shit half ass.

Hejola report for 11142012.

Kingsville,tx. Hello again I am bill Ciaz back from a small vacation. Let’s not spend too much time on this but let’s get to the barrio headline news:

Commadre cause accident while on barrio cell phone.

Barrio family pushes their car around town.

And finally local barrio college band don’t make to out of town game.

It sounded like a great idea to send our volunteer college band to our first out of town barrio football game. Well the barrio rented out several barrio buses to transport our band and the very few fans the team has, to and out of town game. Well the band and its fans made it ten miles out of town when two of the three buses broke down. It seems que some of the band members, including some fans, had to walk back into town. By the way our team lost the game.  Fans and band members are looking to get their money back.

It seems que its good to have a lots of family members. La familia ruiz has ten members in its family. Yesterday afternoon we got a call, really a few weeks ago concerning that someone had seen a barrio family pushing their van around the hood. Well I didn’t believe it till I saw, there they were seven of them pushing  their van into the mall area.  Well the constable was forced to pull them over and ask them a few questions. AFTER the interview, the father was given a ticket for driving without a license, no insurance, no automobile license plate, nor a registration nor a inspection sticker and finally for illegal tow and pushing a motorized vehicle . The father told us que he shouldn’t be required to have all that since his family is pushing the van on the side of the road. He also stated que he has saved at least $1000.00 a month on gas insurances and other cost that go along with owning a car. But for now, his family is pushing the van to their home until they can come up con a better idea to get around.

And finally,Yesterday afternoon right in front of our office we heard a big boom. When we went outside to investigate we saw que la commadre Belinda Rodriquez had just smashed into the back of jim woods a construction worker pick up.  It seems que when she smashed into the back of the pickup she was on the phone.  El constable arrested her con wreck less driving. But the way it’s the tenth time she has been busted for driving on the phone.

Ok raza are you getting ready for that Thanksgiving Day? Just for the record we went to the bingo but didn’t win any of the games but we did win a free turkey..no que no.
