Okay I have to make this clear, the balloon was dark green and fluorescent green, the color of the house down the street from me that everyone hates. The one that, when the painters got started, the contractor told them to stop because he was sure it was the wrong color, and called the buyer down to the house to make sure it was the right color. It was. Yech.
I turned the hose on to water my bamboo in the front yard (the one that's growing like mad) when I got home last night, then forgot to turn the hose off - totally forgot about it in less than 3 minutes. I didn't turn it on real high, but it ran all night. I feel retarded.
On my way to work this morning I saw a hot air balloon just taking off. I assume it was just taking off, or it was a test flight, since it was about 7am, and it was floating pretty low.
