Houston is never going to get a break. The only time I read anything about Houston in the news it is either a mother drowning her kids in a tub, a wife running her husband over, or now, a four year old shooting his two year old brother in the head over a toy.
| HOUSTON
-- A two-year-old was shot by his four-year-old brother, who may not
have known the difference between a real gun and toy one, police said.
The two-year-old, who suffered a single gunshot wound to the temple,
was in critical condition Saturday night in hospital. Sgt. Cameron Grysen said the boys had been arguing when the younger one threw a toy at his brother. The mother thought the boys had returned to their room, but they had instead gone to her room, where the older boy took a loaded gun from the woman's purse. "The four-year-old was angry. ... He went and got the gun, put it to his brother's head and shot the gun," Grysen said. |

This is one of her pizza on a stick experiences at the Houston Rodeo this past weekend. Yes, pizza on a stick. OK, maybe Houston does get some god press.

We have EVERYTHING on a stick at our State Fair up here in Minnesota!
I was last in Houston in 1999, visiting my late father-in-law as he battled cancer at M. D. Anderson down there. It was hot. It was humid. And some crazy had shot up a sidewalk cafe nearby.
Still, I won't mind visiting again, whenever that should happen.
Well I'll tell you something really good about Houston: The Houstonian hotel. My wife and I try to get there at least twice a year. We take a 3 or 4 day weekend and just veg for awhile. The Bed & Breakfast special is makes for an absolutely perfect mini-vacation.
We love to stroll up and down the Westheimer strip. You can kill an entire Saturday afternoon in the antique stores and coffee shops in that area.
Also, there is no better Italian food anywhere in the South than at Michelangelo's. And, Half Price Books is the bomb!
So, it might not make national news, but you can tell 'em that the author of UncommonSense loves Houston and won't hear a bad word spoken about it.
