Since we're "living" in Houston now, for at least a little while, I'm trying to learn my way around the area, at least the area near the RV park.
The fellow who drives us over to MD Anderson shared with us that the roads are pretty much in a grid pattern, with just a few abnormalities - one of which is just north of us, and the road that the CVS is on that we are using: Buffalo Speedway. Isn't that a funny name for a road? It is a curvy road, and we all agreed that speeding buffalo must not run straight!
He also told us that the RV park will get very full in a few days as many folks come into town for the rodeo. It is evidently a huge rodeo. Dwayne and I thought we would look into getting tickets, but what we could find were tickets for concerts... we asked Corey about that when we got a ride back to the RV park, and he said, yes, the tickets are for an afternoon rodeo followed by a concert.

The "rodeo" culminates on March 17 with a George Strait concert, for which there is no rodeo event, only the concert, with the "bargain" prices of $135-$5200 per ticket. Does that seem strange to you?
However, we also found that there are some horse and livestock events that go on at the same time as the rodeo, but which do not have the high cost of a concert ticket to attend... things like a "ranch rodeo" and cutting horse competitions, that I think sound interesting - so we might try to attend one or more of those, depending on Dwayne's stamina level.

The NRG Park is very close to where we are staying, between the RV Park and MD Anderson, so it is interesting to look into what things are going on there.

The Houston RV show will be coming up in February - again, something we might enjoy, depending on Dwayne's energy level.
