The driver is already holding a sign when you step through the sliding glass of George Bush Intercontinental — a calm presence among the scramble of carousels and airline announcements. A black Sprinter waits nearby; doors whisper open, the air conditioning hums, and the ride out of Houston threads past low wetlands and bayous that seem to lean toward the highway.
