We did not stay up intentionally last night - it just kind of
happened. Was looking out the window and saw lots of fireworks *and*
some floating lights. They seemed to be miniature hot air balloons.
Must be a new fad.

Wonder how big/far/high they go?

There's a craze on Chinese lanterns. We used to make them when we in the
6th Form and chase them in cars whilst ****ed.

As high as my roof They are possibly a fire hazard - a hot air
balloon carrying a naked flame just released uncontrolled.

Farmers hate them as the cattle eat them. I think they produce some now
without the wire frame. Not a great idea though, especially during dry
spells.

Don't suppose it would be terribly hard to chase a Chinese lantern in
a car, ****ed or not.

Or more importantly, whether or not the roads have been plowed.

Ploughed, surely? Furrowed tarmac is quite difficult to traverse in a
****ed car.

Yes, and even more skill is needed to clear unpaved roads.
