I'll never forget going broke in Houston back in 81 ... I had gone to high school in Houston and lived in Houston before, but when I went broke all I had was my van.

I would park it in the middle of an empty shopping center parking lot with the windows down and pray for a breeze. Sometimes I couldn't go to sleep till 3am in the morning.

I could never figure out how the first Houston natives made it to the airconditioned homes and buildings they have now.

I use to work in Seabrook, Texas just southeast of NASA on Galveston Bay and many times would need another shower before noon.
