There are two reasons I live here in the Buda/Kyle area. Mainly because I live on a small ranch that’s been in our family for several generations, and secondly, I did not want to live in the big city just north of here where it is plumb weird and the citizens want to keep it that way. Buda and Kyle used to be small Texas towns, but both towns have evolved into citified suburbs of Austin. We have numerous subdivisions, horrific traffic and overcrowded schools, but it also appears some of the idiotic stuff the Austin city council does has oozed down into the city of Kyle.
Due to the constant desire to eradicate all American history that occurred in the 1860s, members of Kyle’s city government have decided to rename Rebel Road because, God forbid, the name might offend someone who doesn’t realize the Civil War ended in 1865. Okay, thanks to the KKK and some depilated racists, we had to get rid of the Confederate flag, and then “Dixie” became offensive, leaving the band at Hays High School to come up with some new fight song to play at the games of the Hays Football Team, once known as the mighty Rebels.
So now, what name do the profound minds in the city council come up with to replace Rebel Road? Fajita Drive. Oh, yeah, you read that right. Of all the possible street names available, this road gets named after a dang taco. Don’t get me wrong, I love fajitas. I’ve eaten them ever since the early 1980s when a friend grilled up some marinated flank steak. Just writing about fajitas has caused me to wipe drool of my keyboard several times.
