Finally, smokers would pay $1

Bye-bye free wi-fi?
With the state and local gov-
ernments moving to provide citi-
zens free wireless Internet serv-
ice, Rep. Phil King (R-Weather-
ford) has introduced a bill that
would prohibit cities from doing
that.
The prohibition is only one
aspect of King’s telecommunica-
tions bill, House Bill 789. King’s
chief of staff said last week that
the lawmaker objects to free wi-fi

and abiding by attendance
requirements.
Arkansas has had a similar law
since 1991, but it is not wide-
spread among the states.
What should be official Texas
vehicle?
The obvious answer is the
pickup truck, but that would be
wrong. In Senate Concurrent
Resolution 8, Sen. Kel Seliger
(R-Amarillo) has proposed that
the chuck wagon be designated
by the Legislature as the official
vehicle of Texas.
Invented in 1866 by Panhandle
pioneer Charles Goodnight, the
food-carrying chuck wagon sup-
ported the state’s cattle industry
well into the 20th century by
playing a vital role in keeping
cowboys fed.
On some big ranches, the dis-
tinctive wagons with chuck
(cowboy talk for food) boxes on
the back are still used, though
today most chuck wagons are for
display and cooking competi-
tions.
Going Dutch oven...
Proving that both major politi-
cal parties can work together,
Rep. Jesse Jones (D-Dallas) has
filed a resolution that would
declare the Dutch oven the offi-
cial state cooking implement.
Dutch ovens, of course, are what
chuck wagon cooks use to pre-
pare sourdough biscuits, perhaps
the future official state bread.
