haha about the ballon incident on the news
 

found this online:

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flown all around
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I flew in a ballon filled with hot air.

In... west Colorado born and raised
in the backyard is where I spent most of my days
soarin and swoopin all cool
and flyin a balloon instead of bein in school

So.. whistled for a chopper and when it came near
The side said 'Channel 9' and it had guys in there
If anything i could say that this situation was rare,
but i thought ' ah forget it, jump out, no care.'

I landed on the ground from about over 9000 or 8
and yelled to the news crew "yo homes, find me later"
I was finally there,
to sit in my basket and the king of hot air.

So the news is saying the 6 year old kid may have fallen out of the balloon. Kind of tasteless in that light, huh?
