billeylerWaking up to the SHHHHUUUUUSSSSSHHHHing of a propane tank burn is always an interesting experience. The dog next door was going nuts, so I knew a descending balloon was near. Tossed on some clothes quickly, and dashed outside. Yup! There was a yellow balloon coasting about 10 feet over the trees across the street. Not to fear though, there's a golf course 1 block south of the house here, so they were safe. Silly me didn't grab the camera.

And hundreds of multi-color and muli-shape hot air balloons are filling around them, and there are 10s of 1000s of people milling around enjoying the feeling. And I see the child-like happy wonder in their eyes and smile.
No, I don't get jaded. :-)

As for being jaded...I still love the views that living in San Francisco offer every day. So I was pretty sure the question was rhetorical.
