Of all the types of flying in my bucket list, this is the one left that I have yet to do.
I've done skydiving (not the "free fall for a really long time kind" but at least it was just me, not the "tandem" type), flown in a helicopter, flown in a glider (which I got to fly for a little while), but haven't yet had a chance to do a hot-air balloon flight.
We live down wind of a small local airport. On normal summer saturday mornings we are treated to between 5 and 15 balloons, and also a bunch of other flying machines from microlights to gliders to cesnas and the like. The airport even has a decent little restaurant we have been know to frequent.
Does this access give me the least amount of curiosity to fly one? Nope. Nada. Zip.

Another coneflower and a butterfly.
^^^ cone flowers are amazing for both pollinators and birds... the goldfinches have discovered ours, and it's a study in cooperation to see them with the butterflies.

Flying into Oakland yesterday I was struck, as I always am, by the endless roads that meander around California. It's not hard to see why a cyclist, including this one, would want to spend more time in California.
