18-Wheelers

In this opinion article, writer James W. DeBoard responds to a letter sent by a reader. The reader is "tired of 18-wheelers" saying that they are dangerous and "law enforcement should start enforcing the driving laws against these truck drivers". DeBoard answered that laws should be enforced against all drivers. I agree with DeBoard. First of all, I have a big respect for truck drivers driving an 18-wheeler. I used to get very stressed driving my 2500 RAM through Downtown Guadalajara because of the size of it, so I can imagine all the skills required to manoeuvre an 18-wheeler. 

Another argument that DeBoard mentions is that the mayor part of our daily used items are delivered in trucks. So trucks are essential; they cannot just be banned. It's true. 

People should understand how difficult it is to drive a truck with big dimensions. Instead of putting more pressure on the drivers, people should be aware and learn how to drive around them. 

New Beer Law

Some good news for beer connoisseurs. According to an article from The Texas Tribune, brewpubs like Uncle Billy’s Brew & Que will be available to sell their product offsite using third party distributors. This has doubled the production of barrels since the begging of the year. This is not only good news for connoisseurs because also "the industry could generate $5.6 billion statewide and create 52,000 new jobs by 2020". It has been hard for local breweries to survive by only selling to their own clients. With this new law they will be able to expand and have more opportunities to get their beer become well-known.
