No, I didn't ride in it...  I'm fairly certain they made an unscheduled landing. For a moment there I was a little concerned they were going to drift into our impound lot which is surrounded by barbed-wire. IP: Logged |

Are there a lot of folks who hot air balloon in your neck of the woods, Randall?..  Sometimes, I think we have so many that it could be considered an alternate form of transportation. I like taking pictures of them...   IP: Logged |

I think for flight safety wind speeds need to be somewhere between nothing and eight miles per hour.I didn't take this photo, but I thought it was a spectacular shot of the Hot Air Affair Moon Glow event we have every February...

I continued walking toward the wall. I still could neither see nor hear anyone, yet the little prince answered again: "Of course. You'll see where my tracks begin on the sand. Just wait for me there. I'll be there tonight." I was twenty yards from the wall and saw no one. Then the little prince said, after a silence, "Your poison is good? You're sure it won't make me suffer long?"

POISON. Such a peculiar word. The French word for FISH is POISSON. Antoine De Saint-Exupery, the author of The Little Prince was born in France.
