So I attended orientation for the Nature Conservancy in Arlington, Virginia last week. Flying out there, I got stuck at George HW Bush International Airport in Houston, TX for 19 hours due to some storms, yes 19 hours. I flew into TX at about 3pm. My connection was due to leave at 4. After 7 gate changes and many hours of delays. They put me on a plane to DC at 2 am. I buckled my seatbelt, I ignored the safety video, and I prepared to finally leave an airport in which they felt the need to immortalize Bush Sr. in bronze statue showing him with windblown hair and a jacket swung over his shoulder in a carefree manner. WHATEVER..Anyway, at 2:10 am they cancelled our flight due to lack of flyable hours on the part of the pilot and cordially invited us to all have a good night as we would not be flying anywhere until the morning. At 10 am I got on a plane and left Bush Country. Good riddance. What I want to know is can't we just give Texas to the Mexicans?
