Is anybody here from Lancaster?

What’s going on at Lehman Place?

I’m watching the Virtual Railfan channel.



There’s a fire going on in the background, and now there’s a balloon floating along in the sky. Who goes on balloon flights at 6:30 in the morning?

And good morning.

Oh, darn. I was so sure it was a Chinese spy balloon and involved a massive coverup. mahatmakanejeeves May 2023 #3
Maybe the whole "balloon ride" thing is just a cover for a Chinese espionage ring? sl8 May 2023 #5

Hey, it could happen!





Also,

It's either a second balloon or the first balloon, which now looks different because of the way the light hits it.

Thanks.

Whoa -- there goes some train headed to Harrisburg.

You get no warning on those trains. They come through at 90 to 100 mph, and they're electric, so they don't make any sound.

Thermals are best. That's why hawk migration takes place at sunrise.
