The High Voltage Lines seemed to be the problem, or rather crashing into them - and who precisely is “Mantel Williams”? And don’t start me on the website designs, all of which suck at a certifiable level. ---

If the air is filled with hot air balloons, where will we drive our flying cars? ---

Even better: [MLMWatchdog.com](http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/). MLM = multi-level marketing. The site’s tag line is “As Good As The Golden Word Helping Good Folks make money by not making mistakes.” ---

**Philster** , thank you for thinking of the children! Looking at the picture of her recovery, I came to the realization that I’m a callous ass. I first thought that it looked like someone was doing a crappy job of debriding the leg wound (and keeping the bed clean) and wasn’t surprised when a staph infection developed. It’s also interesting that her lawyer [quit](http://www.hotairballoonaccidents.com/Documents_2004/judgement1_op_800x710.jpg) after the verdict.
