Happy 35th Birthday to My Nate!!

Here on my blog I would like to give you one balloon for each time that you have made me laugh until my stomach hurt.
And also this ... just fyi.
The most famous cluster balloon flight took place in 1982. Larry Walters, with no prior ballooning experience, attached 42 helium weather balloons to a lawnchair, intending to go up a few hundred feet, but instead soaring to 16,000. Surprisingly, Walters survived his flight. However, both before and since Walters' adventure, experienced balloonists have experimented with helium balloon clusters, some rising to even greater heights.
