Is that better or worse than the nutbar with the weather balloons tied to the lawn chair?

I have to ask. Was one of them you?

If not, why not?

I changed my mind about hot air ballooning long before those guys got enough helium. I like to navigate. Control freak I guess.

I was much more amused by the poor guy that did it here a few years ago than the crowd over at AdCanada was. They seemed ready to gather with rakes, torches and forks.

A friend of mine was a commercial balloonist for years. It’s always fascinating to talk to him about ballooning because he had far more control over direction than I ever would have expected.
