history: I was getting ready to fly to Dallas for a meeting with a client when I heard there were bad storms on the flight path.  I ended up renting  a car because I hate flying so much. I had a client meeting in Dallas_comma_ and as I was driving to the airport I heard there was going to be a lot of storms we'd be flying through. I ended up renting a car because I hate flying so much in just calm weather.
