I'm very proud of Houston and her accomplishments. But I have never been more proud of my town than I was when it responded to Katrina. People just gave and gave and nobody thought twice about it. Houston saw a neighbor in trouble and acted swiftly, figuring it would deal with the repercussions later. (And that's happening now...)

And we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for acknowledging that. :-)

I was truly inspired by it. As a life-long northerner (who's making his way down south), my ignorance made me vulnerable to stereotypes. Seeing the heart of Texas was very inviting.
