Driving toward downtown Houston on Interstate 69/U.S. 59/the Southwest Freeway (or whatever you want to call it) on any given day is a straight-up nightmare. Commuters trying to scurry home cut you off with pride, truck drivers honk their way-too-loud horns at you constantly and the exhaust fumes are enough to induce nausea.

Seeing planes and helicopters in the skies above Houston is pretty common. Just look up and you might see one of the hundreds of commercial airliners that fly into the Houston region every day, swarming like large metal mosquitoes around George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Hobby. The Houston Police Department and other agencies patrol the skies constantly, and right behind them are news helicopters chasing whatever absurdity is happening in Houston on any given day.

Since moving to Houston in 2015, the No. 1 thing I have noticed about this region’s commuters is that they drive like they have no regard for human life — even their own. Going down the freeway is impossible without seeing dozens of distracted drivers texting or scrolling social media on their phones while speeding. For whatever reason, people have begun running red lights with impunity. Once, I even saw a woman in a Mustang cruising while petting a tiny monkey in her lap.

The Married Ladies Social, Art and Charity Club of America (of Houston) was born on Sept. 8 of that year with the mission of promoting social welfare through philanthropy and other undertakings.
