Hah! I have a grandmother in Houston, so I've spent some time there.

Last month, there was an article about Houston in a in-flight magazine (perhaps for SkyWest?) that stated:

"What's Houston's best kept secret? According to Burton, it's the city's magnificent outdoors. 'With the exception of a couple of hot and humid summer months, the year-round good weather makes it an outdoor enthusiast's paradise,' said Burton."

I laughed so hard, I think I may have peed a little.
