My son has assured me that the double balloon launch on Wednesday was a big success and they got "hours of wonderful video." I don't know if I'll ever get to see that video but I am happy for the budding scientists at camp. But another balloon event has also been brought to my attention. According to my west coast brother today is "National Water Balloon Day." He thought I might like to do more than just take pictures from my balcony. I informed him that I did not think the management would appreciate it if I dropped water balloons from my balcony, although it might be kind of fun to see them splat. If I could be sure I didn't hit a car or resident in the parking lot below I might be tempted. So far the biggest thing I've ever tossed off my balcony was an ant. I admired it's ability to climb up 10 stories, but still casually flicked it off the railing. I do not want bugs in my apartment and thankfully I don't have any. But I digress. My west coast brother then suggested that I organize a complex wide water balloon drop where all of the residents participate by dropping water balloons off their balconies at the same time. He thought we might even get TV coverage. I might give this some consideration right before my lease expires, just in case I get tossed out.
