TheBanyanTree: the beautiful silver balloon

[Tom Smith]

Nice, Nancy.  I agree with your priorities.  

Quit watching television.  My own real life has been
an engaging adventure.   Gave up awareness of the 
latest on poverty and government waste along with
the viagra commercials and kids riding balloons.  

Heard about an adult many years ago who tied a
lot of helium-filled party balloons to a lawn chair,
took a BB gun along to pop the balloons when he 
wanted to come down..  was spotted by an airliner
whose pilot was hesitant to report what he saw,
fearing he would be perceived as hallucinating.

This was before google's time, but I wonder if
a search there could catch this story by the 
balloon string..
