Balloons etc

I've been told in no uncertain words that while all this painting business is fine and good, I'm supposed to be writing also. Well here goes...
I'll start with the highly anticipated weekend plans.The local hot air balloon festival . This is located about 20 odd miles from my place.On an average day this should have taken 30mins. On this particular Saturday an overturned truck dropped bundles of hay and blocked out 4 of the 5 lanes and the fire truck/police took the 5th lane while we were sitting in a hot hot car in the middle of an interstate not moving with of course no access water or food . Well after about 2.5 hrs of this fun stuff , we crept inch by excruciating inch out away from the accident . At this point any thoughts of balloons and such were totally out of the window, and we promptly turned back homewards.

..... Peace!
