| 2. It's about 4-5 hours by car. |
|
So, a couple hundred miles or so.

For some reason I imagined it farther. That's not that far.

| 5. Actually I looked it up and it is farther. |
|
It's 350 miles.
I was going by drive time from San Antonio to New Orleans. It's 3 from SA to Houston and the trip took 8 altogether.

| 7. Houston Astros are home tomorrow through Monday |
|
Then they have a one week road trip from 9/5 through 9/11. http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=hou&m=9&y=2005Will they have the refugees stand in the parking lots during games? |

| 9. The Astros do not play there, and haven't in years. |
|
They play in Minute Maid (nee Enron) Park in downtown Houston.
The Texans play in Reliant Stadium which is in the same area as the Astrodome, but separated by large parking lots.
