This past weekend I took my first hot air balloon ride over Middletown. It was a blast, Middletown has a much different from the air. Have a look at some of my pics.

Hermes- just got off the phone to verify this so-called balloon flight that Randy took. The info. I received from this crew was that, while Randy did take this flight( sorta), several crew members in the basket had to hold his hand and keep him from dribblin' in his shorts and floodin' the basket. While that may be understandable for a person taking their first flight, they revealed that the balloon had not left the ground yet and it only got worse from there. Rumor has it, that as the balloon touched down, Randall Sue had to be strapped to a gurney and air flighted to Atrium to be sedated due to uncontrollable "girly squeeling symptoms", similar to those heard from little kids when entering a haunted house during Halloween. Apparently, his flight only went 20 feet in the air and he demanded to be taken down. Worse yet, they said the higher altitude pictures you see in this video were taken by his girlfriend, AFTER Randall Jane had left the area on the gurney and as the balloon went up again sans Randall so as not to reveal the true story. They did mention that his girlfriend, seen in his earlier video with the spider, went up in the balloon without incident. Hmmmm.
Yes, I know. Pretty disturbing ehh?

Very funny Mr. Vet, and Hemes I cant believe you would allow him to talk about your fellow Bengal fan that way. Vet, I seen that I LOVE THE BENGALS you have painted on your roof. I wanted to snap a picture for the world to see, but I thought I would keep your secret safe.
The balloon ride was amazing, Thank you Ann Mort for making it possible for me to do up. ------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Randy both b4 his balloon ride, and at the Council session last night.
He was very much looking forward to his flight, and last night, gave a glowing report on the experience. Everyone who is able should try this, especially if you are familiar with the area over which you fly.

Sorry Randy I couldn't help myself
When ballooning aren't you at the mercy of the wind ? I've flown Cessna 172 and I like being in control,ballooning to me seems more out of control and you go where ever the wind takes you,I don't like that feeling. I would like the open basket and the view. ------------- No more democrats no more republicans,vote Constitution Party !! |

Yep Hermes, that "mercy of the wind" thing also describes what you're gonna get on a Sunday at the Bengals game. Just like not knowing which way the balloon is gonna fly, is the same feeling Bengals supporters get when they get to gametime each Sunday. Get ready for another disappointing season, right Randall Lou?

In Chad you trust? 
He had a better chance of winning "Dancing With The Stars" than a Super Bowl with the team he's on. If he wants a Super Bowl, he had better find another team......oh, say.....a team with some talent????? Right Hermes?
