Interesting start to my day

[Snattlerake]

When we lived in the RV in the Colorado Springs area back between July of 2014 and April of 2016, we could fairly regularly see balloons in that area. Someone had a business where they took people aloft of a morning for an excursion. They might have done something for those that just wanted to ride in a balloon, or it might have been something of a "romantic ride and breakfast" event.

They told us in Kanab that if one worked with a balloon team in getting the crafts ready to launch or recover, one could then get a ride in one if possible with weather and time. While I'd like to ride in one, I doubt I'd be much help in my condition.

Me neither except I might qualify as ballast. Don't they jettison ballast on occasion?
