Just had coffee with Dianne...didn't recognize her as she's in a bigger trailer...
FYI to you folks coming in from the west...Somewhere west of exit 140, the eastbound traffic becomes one lane...so speed may be beyond your scope of control. take yer time, but hurry up!

Probably going to quiet on this thread for a few days as all of the posters are either romping through the balloon lift off area, partaking in the m-ball or sleeping it off. I'm sure things will heat back up once they all have a chance to recover.

sign of too much drinking
A sure sign of too much drinking is imagining you are seeing a flying turtle bigger than a house.

I just heard on the news that a women there was killed when she was thrown out of a balloon basket...Here's the story.
Police: 1 dead in NM balloon crash
© 2007 The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The basket of a hot air balloon flying in the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta tipped after hitting power lines Monday, killing a woman who was thrown out of the basket, police said.
The unidentified woman and the pilot were believed to be the only people on board, state police spokesman Andrew Tingwall said.
The pilot was trying to land the balloon and had thrown out a tether line when the balloon began to rise again, striking nearby power lines and tipping the basket, Tingwall said. It was not clear if the landing was planned or an emergency.
The crash site is about three miles from the launch site for the fiesta, a nine-day event that began Saturday and features special-shaped balloons and competitions for balloon pilots.

Glad to report that none of our number were victims. But it sure put a damper on the celebratory nature of the festival.
