Down here in Houston, we don't think of the elder Bush that way. He isn't our king and we don't think of him in Soviet terms. He's the guy we see at the Astros games and at Texas A&M skydiving.
We love him and his wife and if we want to spend our own money to honor him while he's still alive, then we'll do it.

Well said and I agree. The Bushes are just some of Houston's favorite citizens and not regarded as regal in any way.

They are also frequently spotted at Texans' home games. I like to spy on 'em in the owner's box with my binoculars. We like to brag that we're probably the only NFL stadium that has a former President and First Lady as regular fans. I also saw them at that chic pizza place in Spring Branch once (can't remember the name...Fuzzi's or something like that? I've kind of been out of town for a while...).

"I also saw them at that chic pizza place in Spring Branch once (can't remember the name...Fuzzi's or something like that? I've kind of been out of town for a while...)."

Yup, it is Fuzzy's. I don't know if I'd call it chic--they give you paper plates and plastic forks! But it is an excellent place to go, complete with a Wall of Fame devoted to 41 & Family. There are several Fuzzy's all over town, but the only one I go to is the one in Memorial (I'm pretty sure that's the one 41 goes to all the time, although I've never seen him there).

I think you're right about the pizza place. My aunt sees him there sometimes. I think that's what she called it.

I've never been there though.
