A Couple of People Dropped Into the Neighborhood Last Night

[280SE Guy]

I was sitting on the deck last night around 7:30 and heard a whooosch . . . . . . whooosch . . . . . . . whooosch sound in the distance. I thought to myself "That sounds like a hot air balloon !" I ran into the house to grab my camera and had one chance to grab a shot:



I assume they were alright as there were not any sirens after they descended.

It was a good sight

Now you are talking my old hobby. I crewed for over 10 years.  Balloons have a lot more control than what it looks like.  Tons of fun and a great social sport if you can hands champagne and propane before 8am...

Now, if only you had seen them fold their deflated balloon, stow it in the boot of their waiting Pagoda -  then drive off into the tarmac distance with as much flair as that which accompanied them on their initial arrival.   Didn't you see that?    I did     Yeah, just funning

280SE Guy, that really was an awesome shot.   Your timing was perfect!!

Cheers mate,

Hank
