"They ALL make an important statement."

Yup! You guys do a great job in Washington. (Frankly, you get more people with fewer population. I STILL think we HAVE to figure out something MORE we can do here in DC, short of controlling the weather -- or maybe THAT if need be!)

Houston looked enviably large, no? I confess to a big case of envy. :)

Yes, I too envy Houston AND their 3 FLYOVERS! LOL One of the problems with WA is that our state capitol is NOT in a big city. It's in Olympia NOT Seatle. No one (except pols) hangs out there.
