I just returned from a four-day visit to Houston for another compelling reason: to visit grandchildren. On the road home, I stopped the car, got out and hugged the Weatherford city limit sign. Then thanked God for my safe delivery.
Founded in 1836 and named after Old Sam, President of the Republic of Texas, Houston has the world’s largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions. A global city, it has a broad base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics and transportation.
It is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the USA. The 2010 Census reported a population of over 2.1 million. Every one of those people timed their trips out and about on the streets and highways to coincide with mine.
If you crave daring and danger, just play Russian roulette – it’s safer than driving in Houston.
