Makes me angry just reading this.

If our country had a saner transportation mix, airlines could focus on the stuff they're objectively better at (long-haul or overseas flights) instead of trying to keep alive this retarded hub/spoke model for domestic flights.

Rising gas and airfare prices may be causing Texans to trade cross-country road trips and overseas flights for camping, hiking, swimming and exploring at state parks closer to home.

Texas state parks have seen a 22 percent increase in camping reservations for the Memorial Day weekend compared to the same period in 2007, said Tom Harvey, spokesman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
