Well, apparently some action happened today at the Macy’s parade wherein a giant balloon got caught around a streetlight and sheared it off, causing it to fall and hit a woman and an 11-year-old girl. Of course, Bloomberg was there to say that the winds were well within the safe range after a similar accident happened a few years back when a Cat in the Hat balloon tore off a hunk of steel as well, causing it to fall off into the crowd. After that incident, they apprarently had some new laws passed stating that winds could only be within a certain range for the balloons to be “safe.” Guess they’ll have to append that one again.
In other Thanksgiving news, I didn’t watch the parade, but instead got readily shnockered with other family members and took the Nazz’s advice to “forget all about it a while.” This worked like a charm. I’m just trying to decide if it was all down to the beer, the vodka, or the uhhhh….what else did I have to drink today?
