11/2: Flying Man

I've seen lots of stuff written on balloons and how far they travel. We were goose hunting west of Houston yesterday in a recently cut rice field and came across 3 of those mylar/metalic balloons that one sees at supermarkets and florist shops for special occasions. The balloons said "Happy Birthday!" and their was a card attached saying "Happy Birthday Candice, from all of us". The card was in a small envelope from a florist shop in Little Rock Arkansas, a little over 500 miles to our NE. They had lost most of their helium and were dragging on the ground. I wondered when her birthday had been and how long they had taken to get to Texas. I also thought about how the balloons got away from Candice or the people giving them to her. Happy Birthday Candice.
