Board 8 > I meant to post this days ago, but I woke up to the strangest thing.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It was Saturday, and I woke up around 10 AM to a weird, loud sound just outside of my window. On the street in front of my house was a truck that was hauling a flatbed, and on that flat bed was a freaking hot air balloon in the process of having its air heated. Maybe a minute later, it took off, and I have absolutely no idea why that happened or how it was legal to do that in the middle of the street or in a neighborhood.

okay that's pretty cool

I remember when I was a kid seeing a hot air balloon in the distance, but I always thought it had taken off in a park. But this... yeah, it sounds like something that'd be regulated, but if it's not... maybe I should try it?

The strange thing is that we actually have a park in our neighborhood, and it is like a minute walking distance from my house!

I don't understand how this happened.

For my 18th birthday, my family wanted to take me on a hot air balloon ride. It ended up not happening, because the weather was bad and eventually I decided to just give up on scheduling a new date. But there was one time the guy came to the park with the hot air balloon and everything ready to go until the last minute when the wind became too strong. But it was just one dude with his truck and flatbed. It's not some big 'thing' that requires a lot of people. The hot air balloon was the same one I'd seen in my city for years, so I knew it was legit.
