Nothing at all...just news. The mods usually wish away 'em to the cornfield when they're ready.

I can start a new "Tramp Stamp" thread if you're bored? :twisted:

Local news here in Denver has said that the boy was found at home and was never on the balloon. He was hiding in a box up in their attic the whole time. The search and rescue parties were already dispatched and combing the 50+ mile path the balloon took. Wow, what a mess.
