Default The Happiest Balloon on Earth

This is exciting! I saw the "Happiest Balloon on Earth" flying over Sacramento this morning! It's here in Sacramento today (4/25) and tomorrow (4/26). Hopefully I can see it again tomorrow!
It took off from Raley Field, home of the Sacramento River Cats, where in 2003-2004 I was their mascot "Dinger" and got TWO Championship Rings!!!

It was in Clovis last week. I live in Fresno (which swallows Clovis) but Clovis is mostly filled with rich people (I said Most.)

If I has known it was there I would have gone. They were handing out pins.

Man! I want to see it!!! I live in the bay area. Anyone know if it is coming this way? Thanks for the heads up TimmyII! That's awesome that you were the mascot! I went to Sac State. The River Cats are pretty darn popular!

Cool close knit communities

It's probably just one of those community name thingys. Like where it says Portland OR., but when it comes here it will probably really be in Hillsboro at the Hillsboro airfield a few miles outside of town.

Yeah, and here in Seattle, that could mean Bellevue or Renton or Edmonds---I have no idea where it's actually going to be when it comes to my area!
