I am such a softie for things like that... I would have probably emptied my wallet into the tip jar! Great story... so much good goes on in the world we just don't hear about it as much.

It sure sounds like it was the plane incident... they said he wasn't wearing his seat belt and did in fact hit his head... he said himself he hit his head... could very well be something similar to what happened to Natasha Richardson. Makes you think about all of the times you hit your head in your life and never did anything about it.

Great parade and great night of dancing afterwards!! Back to recovering!

Well said! Love the last part, too! Looking forward to a fun parade and a fun weekend celebrating pride with my friends! Alright, time for me to head out... Happy Pride y'all!

Yea that's basically what started it all... push people too far and they are going to eventually push back.

KHOU and TMZ are reporting the doctor what was living with him and who was with him when he died is from Houston. KHOU Story

They are searching for his doctor who apparently has been giving him daily doses of a drug that's similar to morphine... family is saying that's what killed him... doctor is nowhere to be found... sounds like something similar to Anna Nicole Smith.

Because with "marriage" comes certain federal rights that gay couples would like the chance to also have. Wanting equal rights is not that hard to understand.

After what Ike did I couldn't imagine a Category 4 or 5 storm hitting Houston / Galveston... scary thought.

Is this it now? Scott Gertner's Skybar If so it looks like a really nice place... definitely something I would like to check out!

Good Times!

Wanting to be married and raise children is not being "desperate to fit into straight society".... it's called wanting to have equal rights. And as for moving to the suburbs... no thank you.

What a shock... very sad.

HERE... WE... GO!!!

Nice! I hope they start building soon!!

No, it just moved a bit... plus we had a boundary push into southeast Texas which helped serve as a focus for the shower / storm development... unfortunately this boundary is washing out so rain chances should be a bit lower today (around 10%).

Thermometers don't measure heat index values, just temperatures. The heat index is the temperature it "feels like" b/c the moisture in the air makes it difficult for your sweat to evaporate. Normally you sweat and when your sweat evaporates it cools you (it carries heat away from your body)... but since there is too much moisture already in the air the sweat can't evaporate as easily and it makes it "feel" like it's even hotter than the actual temperature. On a side note, it poured at my place near the Medical Center yesterday... it was so great to see rain.... I ran around outside like a little kid... then ran back inside when I almost got struck by lightning.

We usually go around the intersection of Montrose and Westheimer and just walk up and down the street watching the parade... usually don't stay in one place.

1:00 pm... 99F at IAH and HOU... I am out of here... not looking forward to getting in my HOT car!

Eh, we are used to it being hot at the parade... it's all good!

Can't wait... love Pride weekend... thank goodness the parade is at night!!

11:00 am... 97F at IAH... 4 degrees ahead of yesterday.... clouds building east of Harris County... could it get hot enough for a bit of convection??

We had clouds push in overnight which is one reason we did not cool off as much overnight.

Already in the low 90s as of 9:00 am this morning... yesterday at 10:00 am we were at 89F... could easily reach yesterday's 104F and possibly top it today!

I live near the Kroger at Main and Kirby but took a ride to the one on Buffalo Speedway the other day... wow, I am so going to that one any more... at least for bigger orders... such a nice store!
