From his perch high in the (formerly AIG) America Tower on Allen Parkway, Swamplot reader Stephen Cullar-Ledford forwards this latest dramatic scene, which aches for suitably metaphorical captioning.
A few months ago it was fog, this afternoon it’s a rainbow over downtown . . .

Great view and shot.
I miss the view of downtown from my old office at American General but not nearly as much as I miss the value of my remaining AIG shares, from $1,600 to $44 (adjusted for the reverse split). American General was a conservative and profitable company bought out by greed and risk.
Oh Toto, look what the Houston developers have done to our farm!
this pic may make the unaquainted believe houston is a pretty ATTRACTIVE city. yes indeed, the further you get away the better it appears.
