It was certainly a fulfilling trip in many ways. In Houston, my daughter got married and we visited the Mercer Botanic Gardens; we then drove to Fort Worth where my wife's bro lives. In route thereto were vast stands of wildflowers. We drove the outer road next to I 45 a couple of times to get near and photograph wildflowers, Once in Ft Worth we went to some rural wildflower fields behind his house as well as in a park in the far western Ft Worth suburbs. Then it was off to see the PGA Colonial tournament (bro in law was a Marshall at the 15th hole there and provided us tickets). Got quite a few pics of professional golfers. We also found some pretty good size wildflower stands along the border of the mammoth Lockheed-Martin manufacturing plant in Ft Worth. A couple of years ago, bro in law provided us a tour of Lockheed Martin (he worked there then). They manufacture the newest jets for the Air Force, one building was over a mile long.
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
