    ElectricAye: I blame you if I miss my CS120 final! It too is on Saturday, but I am now bursting with excitement to look around town for a balloon. I may even hike to the mountains and look from there... <shaking with excitement> It is a really neat idea. Why does it have to be during finals week... <excitement dies>

    So I guess Twitter should plan for a busy day on Saturday?

    Wonder if any pranksters will fly a bogus balloon. All studies need to have junk data factored in.......

    So I hiked up the mountain this morning, but I didn't see any balloons... Oh well, it was a pleasant climb anyway.
