Welcome to Cleveland.
As the story goes, several years ago some folks were chatting about the high volume of small aircraft traffic that flew overhead each day to a nearby municipal airport. They decided to welcome the travelers with a sign painted on the roof of a large building. The punchline…
This was in Milwaukee.

That is SO … NOT nice! Having flown small planes in the past, you discover that the REAL purpose for all those water towers with the town’s name painted on them is aerial navigation (I guess they might as well hold water, since they’re up there so high for the airplanes to see).
Well, welcome to Houston … I see you’ve already become acquainted with our local charm:
“4. When someone tells you they live in a hot and humid climate…they are completely full of shit. Unless, of course, they live in Houston. Then they are totally serious.”
Yes, but I must warn you that this is DEFINITELY the coollest (OK, “least swelteringly hot”) summer I can remember (and I was born here)!

I totally agree, Gordon. We’ve been in Houston for nearly 3 years and this is much cooler than the last several summers.
I suspect this prank causes a few calls to the tower in Cleveland to confirm the pilot’s location. The joksters probably get cursed on a regular basis.
