Well it was pretty fun, very cold and got some VIP service. Went w/ a friend whose dad owns one, well actually 3 balloons. His dad is a Senator... Steve Komadina. Didn't really talk to him. Got to drive up on the balloon fiesta area where the balloons were taking off. Didn't have to pay to park or get in, also they had passes where we could go get free food to. YaY for free stuff. The winds started to pick up when they were doing the balloon glow thing... so it didn't last very long. Then fireworks YaY!!! I but the Chinese are raking in the dough from all those fireworks.
Some lady died 2 days ago from falling out of the balloon... makes me a bit hesitant to go up now... b/c I didn't get to go up when we went to the balloon fiesta. Then yesterday like 4 balloons crashed. A few broken bones and bruises but luckily no death.
Then on the news they talked about previous crashes... and an explosion. Yikes. Explosions in the air are no good.
I guess Ryan and them are in Japan touring now....
It is starting to get cold at nitetime.
I can't get pulled over (get a moving violation) until after Christmas or I will have to pay that loss of traction ticket and it will get put on my record. Grr!!!!
