I'm going to Houston soon, perhaps for the first and last time, in a few
months. From speaking with my daughter and now, from your words, must wonder:

I'm soooooooo relieved. :\

Houston Chronicle dateline 08 March 2008, the statistics are in: Road Rage
has disappeared from the streets of Houston.
