Theres like a balloon and wine festival thing across the street from our neighborhood. I don't get the appeal of the hot air balloon (I understand the booze part).You're stuck up high for like an hour and can't go anywhere or do anything no matter what? I'm afraid of heights kinda tho.

I think it would be cool to go on a hot air balloon ride, I don't like heights but I love the rush I get from them, if that makes sense
-
It would be cool to jump out of the hot air balloon (if you had a parachute).

how do you keep from blowing away? do you just have to hope you land in a spot that is nice?

As I understand it you have up and down but no side to side. Luckily there is literally nothing out here in either direction.

Why don't the build a cage on top of the basket to prevent rider fallout?

Gocarts have more safety stuff. Riding lawnmowers have more safety stuff. These guys could just plummet to their death

HAB's are kind of like drones, but with people on board. Because I like drones, I like HAB's.

Amazons original plan was to deliver packages directly to the consumer's door with unmanned HABs.
Gonna win 'em all!

I'd like to bungee jump out of one.

In my younger years I did lots of zip-lining, rip cords, and a bit of bungee jumping. I think I need to start again.

Back in my apartment dwelling days, I watched a hot air balloon crash land in the parking lot of my apartment complex. It was pretty wild to witness as it landed on a car.

It’s going to try to land on my house. Bet I could hit it with a driver from here.

SD are all the houses in your hood painted like taupe and brown and gray and other snoozeville colors? If so, is that like an HOA thing?
I noticed that when I was driving around the new fancy neighborhoods of MHK last week and also I noticed it in these pictures so I was curious.
-
Like, does every new neighborhood now just basically look like this?

Pretty much. There is no requirement from the HOA on paint color but all shingles have to be the same and all fences have to be the same color and material. What other colors would you paint a house? Like, red or orange or some crap?

Well probably not orange, but there are a lot of houses that have actual colors. Believe it or not, I live in a blue house :confused:
-
Well, I’m not painting my house blue but I support your right to do so. I don’t really GAF what color anyone’s house is tbh. Mine is sherwin Williams “Backdrop” and “Black Seal”. Very neutral colors for sure.

maybe I've just spent too much time in New Orleans, where every neighborhood is painted up like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory :eek:

When I was like 11, my dad took me up in one of those and crashed it into a tree

Was child services called afterwards?

Those things are crazy popular in north Topeka and the surrounding farm towns

I did a balloon ride a few years ago. I have a mild fear of heights - or rather, falling from them - so this probably was not the best decision. The problem was the height of the basket. I’m just a shade over 6 foot and the top of the basket only came up to my hip. If it came to your chest that’d be different. But it doesn’t. You’re not wearing a harness. You’re just standing in this basket that doesn’t come up damn near high enough. I was clutching one of the side poles so tightly that my hand ached for days afterward. Meanwhile the rough ridin' pilot was literally sitting casually on the edge of the basket the whole time like it was nothing.
I will say that it was super quiet up there and the air was very calm so I can understand why some people say it’s so peaceful, but it’s not for everyone. The landing is not exactly graceful - it’s a controlled crash. We landed in a church parking lot, and it turns out they were having some sort of youth function so the kids got quite a show.
A few years before that when I was living in south JoCo a balloon literally landed in my driveway.
