I would be like Jeffries, never to fly again! Well, maybe not in a balloon! I dislike flying but I do it when I have too!Candy @ So little time...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05308027187577034357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579367039984189257.post-50666060423947649892011-09-13T12:11:26.253-07:002011-09-13T12:11:26.253-07:00I wonder how on the very edge this event must have...I wonder how on the very edge this event must have seemed to everybody in this time. It's nothing for us to see a balloon floating over our home or on the top of the wood that boarders our property. It's the 'thing' that couples do for there wedding anymore. Cutting edge is so very different as time goes by. I remember hearing of giving people rides into outer space just a few years ago - for a huge sum of course. In this economy I don't believe we will see that event come to fruition. But it does make you wonder at every new technology through out the ages how people were scared, in awe, excited. Apparently Jeffries had seen enough to last him a lifetime.Trezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639577727486577188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579367039984189257.post-39753364055725623852011-09-13T11:22:56.008-07:002011-09-13T11:22:56.008-07:00Good one, Mary.
