“baloons are cool”

“My uncle lives out there and is always raving about it. We are supposed to have a family reunion out there next year and he wants to have it during the festival. Problem is my wife is a teacher and our kids will be in school so if they change it from the usual summer reunion we won't be able to go. So far he insists on having it during the balloon fest. Cool idea, but I thought family reunions were about family? I'm pretty angry about the whole thing right now.

Rant over, sorry about the hijack.

Anyone see the footage of the balloon that hit the radio tower. I think I would need new underwear if I was one of those 3 that had to scale down on their own.”

“dude it was awfull smokes was such an awesome balloon!

ON the last 2 days of the festival there were alot of accidents and stuff!!

When all the balloons started to come down there was a really strong ground wind which really mad it hard for alot of them to fly!

Hey man about the family reunion have him make it for the end of the fiesta because it is columbus day weekend and ussually teachers/kids get friday- monday off!!

U should really come out, let me know how the plans go!”

“Schools don't get off for Columbus weekend around here, or else we would have tried to do something like that.”

“take a few days off it is soooooooo worth it man look at all the pics it is amazing!!”

“Just use some sick days.”

“Techtrek --

Yank the kids from school. Some life experiences are well worth a couple of missed days.”

“I just had lunch iwth a friend who was out there . .. .she said it was great.”

“The biggest issue isn't the kids, its my wife (teacher). She would have to take unpaid leave and would get a letter in her file.”

“He should start complaining aobut biegn sick a few days beforehand, then when she takes off sick for a couple of days everyone witl believe it.”

“You have a really nice looking family. I assume you are the young man in the photos? If so you seem like a nice young man. Don't blow it pay your debts.”
