It's October 10th and the hot air balloons are out today, wafting through the sky like very light muffins blowing in a breeze. Bad simile, I know. As bad as a drunken cowpoke in muffin store. Enough of the wordplay though, back to the story of the balloons!
There were going surprisingly fast. There is a bit of a breeze, but these were just zipping along. And even though you know how hot air balloons work, it's still disconcerting to see that flame shoot up. I guess they needed more heat though, because they were going past some fairly tall buildings.
Okay, maybe this anecdote wasn't really worth telling. I enjoyed watching the balloons though. It would be kinda neat to go up in one someday. But not travelling so fast, and over all these tall buildings. That would as scary as a vampire in a muffin casket.
