There's no reason to watch unless the Balloons of Death are unleashed.

I wouldn't watch NASCAR except for the wrecks.

Keep us posted.

Each year, on the Friday following thanksgiving, they bring the Macy's parade baloons up to Springfield, Ma. AS dew years back, it was cold & gusty that Friday. Springfields route is not as well prepared, and several of the balloons tore on street lights and traffic lights.

If tomorrow is as gusty as it was today, I imagine they will have an exceedingly difficult time controlling the balloons.

I heard on a radio report that the woman who was put into a coma by the balloon in 1997, lived in the very apartment hit by Cory Liddles' plane earlier this year, just minutes before she got home. Just weird.
