Did You Release Your Balloons?
A rare picture of yours truly, this is compliments of a friend, who took some shots of me while I launched some balloons at my house in Denver today to show solidarity with the Iranian democrats.
While Iranian clerics advocate for the execution of peaceful protesters and US Congressmen actually suggest that those who opposed their harebrained Cap-and-Trade scheme are playing into Iran’s hands (no mention, by the way, of how Weiner & Co.’s continued denial of our own resources does exactly the same thing, but anyway…), supporters of the Green Revolution released green balloons into the skies all around the world today to show solidarity and do what our own government won’t: Stand clearly and affirmatively with the People of Iran against their oppressors.
I have so much to say about this and promise to bother you with it more soon.

You do realize that PETA and Environmentalist wackos will be after you since those balloons can be harmful to animals!!! . . . just kidding, well sort of, sadly this is something these loons do rail against.
Seriously, a great gesture on your part. Thanks

Ha ha. Thanks, ILC. But I think I look like Hillary from the waist down. Especially from that angle: huge hips and kankles…not a great look!

I am not an environmentalist or a PETA member but a Private Pilot and I HATE when people release balloons. It kills my concentration to see something foreign and bright go by my aircraft. The worst example was when one of those big balloon arches that went across the entrance of a car dealership got loose. This long vertical line was just floating across the sky towards us. It took at least a minute to figure out what it was.
