Would you do this???

There are a couple of guys floating around here today in tricked out lawn chairs with a bunch of big helium balloons attached to them.  Yes, they are in a protected space in the chairs, sort of a platform with rails I think - but how safe can you be in the sky being pulled around by the wind?  And we are having thunderstorms starting up now...

We have been  watching them from our deck off and on since noon and it is now after 4:00 P.M. and they are still up there and still around here (we live 25 miles from where they launched).  They are hoping to make it to Montana.

This isn't the first time for this endeavor.  Must be pretty fun to want to do it more than once!  You can read more about them here - http://www.ktvz.com/news/Bend-tandem-lawn-chair-balloonists-soar-aloft/-/413192/15519084/-/m0j9tu/-/index.html
