I have a contact in Houston finally! An older guy (friend of friend) who has lived in
Houston his whole life (I think). He gave me a bit of a tour (looking at MapQuest)
of the downtown area, and a best-guess idea of where I'll be living if this room
near the MetroRail comes through. It's almost only two weeks left before I leave!
Now this is starting to become a reality, as the nearness of the date approaches.
