Astros new NLC Champs!!
Yeah baby after 40+ years the Houston Astros are going to the world series!! Now on to Chicago to take on the White Sox!!
The City went nutz last night with people running out of their homes hootin' and hollerin'. People shot off fireworks and honked their horns on the highway. Downtown went wild when the 40ft screen in front of the park showed the final out being caught from St. Louis. Academy sports started selling the NLC shirts right after the game. Lines stretched around the stores and into the parking lot. I drove by this morning and there was still a line. This city is electrified and can't wait to get to the world series and beat the White Sox.

Have you ever?
Have you ever had to take a dump, then finish wash your hands and step out of the bathroom only to return 5 mins. later to take another? That's a cool feeling!

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful &practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Meet me in St. Louis!!

Let's go boys!!!
Ok boys we can do it!! This year we have to go all the way!! If I can only say the same thing about the Texans. I love the fact I live in a city with major league teams. I have to admit I don't like watching baseball on the tube, I have to actually to the ballpark to enjoy it. There's nothing like eating a hot dog drinking a beer and having a bag of peanuts while heckling the opposing team. At least the prices are still reasonable to see a game. $10 can get you decent seats at the juice box, although they do hose you on the food and drinks. But that is still cheaper than the Texans, $40 for the cheap nose bleed seats. I am really disappointed with that ball club. I never got to see an oilers game, and I have yet to see a Texans game. With the way they are playing I really don't think that amount of moneys is worth it. Enough about them back to "The Good Guys" I think it'll be the Yanks and Stros. I will be happy if they just make it to the world series!!
GO ASTROS!!

Now this is scary
This is a picture of the skies over west Houston when Rita was moving in. My friend Jenny took this in front of her house. This is just the outer bands, remember the center came ashore about 150 miles to the east. Houston got really lucky, I live about 40 miles east of her and eye witnesses say the sky over my house was completly dark. This picture was not altered and that is the true color of the sky. Creepy!

Still unpacking
Well we have been home for a few days now and we are slowly returning to normal. The shelves at the wal mart and grocery stores are bare because people are re-stocking thier homes with food. When the power went out all of the food spoiled. The freeway to Beaumont has reopened and people are begining to pick up the pieces. I asked my wife "are you afraid to unpack?" Meaning what if we have to run again. She said all we can do is keep our emergency box ready and hope we don't have to. I have to admit I am watching the tropics closely now.
