Hot Air Balloons


Up, up and away! Put these guys down as another super-underrated form of transportation. I would LOVE to own one of these. They create a very particular kind of "skyscape" - ie. like a landscape, but in the sky, when there's so many of them cruising at once. There's something so perfect about sliently ambling (at no particularly urgent pace) across the sky, taking it all in, and generally just being pleasant.

Pleasant stuff is the best stuff. Just chill out in a hot air balloon already, what are you waiting for?

Lightning


Lightning is awesome, man. Such immense power. Naturally occurring power!

It does so much good shit, it can make you travel time (but only if you can get 10,000 Jiggawatts of it), ruin your golf game, ruin your kite flying, and apparently can help 'heal' holes in the ozone layer, too!


"Chain Lightning" also. Its when lightning "gets" someone, then it bounces from one person to the next, and then again to the next person. Chain Lightning. Deadly, deadly chain lightning.

What's more, is that "Chain Lightning" is a song by Steely Dan!!! Holy Shit! What an amazing song name.

Day Moon


Seeing the moon during the day.

Its just cool, I dunno. Something about "planetary alignment" just gets me excited, for some reason. Seeing the sun and the moon in the same sky is just awesome.

Yeah!

Mt. Diablo

Apparently "Mt. Diablo" is a real place. It's better thought of as some sort of fictional headquarters for a ruthless evil genius though. Imagine building your house on top of "Mt. Diablo".... where your new neighbours are the sky, and the horizon. Fuck yeah!
