But chili is a messy business, so instead, half the population seems to have taken refuge in their air-conditioned cars, choking Houston’s freeways as a result. For Kristen Botello, all those cars mean just one thing: lots of accidents. She’s not rooting for wrecks. But she knows from experience that accidents happen. And when they do, she wants to be on the scene immediately – before the police arrive, before a wrecker tows away the cars. Why all the urgency? Because Botello, 28, settles claims for Progressive Corporation,…
