So Rick and I were about our usual Saturday errands today (stop into the craft store, Mom & Rod’s, and the all important visit to the local game shop), and when we crested the hill, we saw what could only be a giant dog attacking the mall.
Around the next curve, the giant dog must have been in a playful crouch, because we only saw it’s back half.
And then… just a butt.
Now maybe it’s normal for a giant dog butt to stick up in the air over rooftops in your city… and I guess in a way it’s normal enough for Albuquerque.
Cause you see, once we got closer, we determined that it was a hot air balloon.
Rick- “I know it was one cause it had the gondola for it still attached as we drove by.”
Me, after pondering a moment- “Can I just say, it’s both kind of awesome and kind of weird that we happen to live in a place such that we happen to immediately know what the name of the giant basket that goes under a hot air balloon is?”
Just your typical fall Saturday in Albuquerque, I guess.
And the lone random shoe on the side of the road. Can’t forget about that.
