Up Up & Away

Went hot air ballooning for the first time. It was not at all what I expected. You feel like you are hanging from a string, but it is really still. You move slowly (at least with the breeze we had) so you don't feel like you are going anywhere. The veiw is beautiful and it is a great perspective on the world. I do highly recommend it.

There were some surprises on the trip over Winters, California. First it is not cold up there, but fairly warm. This is partly because of the really hot propane burners that keep the balloon aloft. Second, it is only quiet, when the really loud burner is not roaring along. Thirdly there is a guy just south of winters who should close his curtains when changing clothes and a woman with a tatoo of a rose on her left hip who should definitely keep the curtains open.

Also, people should not spit out of hot air balloons. It is potentially hazardous for the people below.

People who spit from balloons are justified if they are eating anything with your crappy sauces on it. Yes, that would be potentially harmful to anyone.

I am sure that you make fantastic sauces yourself and that is why millions of people buy them and you win hundreds of awards and submit cowardly mean spirited comments anonymously.
