Canteen FRiends ~ Radix

[Kathy in Alaska]

ARGHHHHHHHH....I got lost again. Cable problems. I'll just follow you guys wherever you go. Don't forget, I have delicate knees. LOL!

[TEXOKIE]

The Bubblacious Beer Can rises into the sky. The Intrepid Canteeners are awestruck by the majesty of the moment!


"Quit shoving, TEX!!!"
"But I gotta get over there to push the gas lever thingy."
"Cant this thing go faster??"
"ummmmmmm it's so quiet...doesnt anyone have any TUNES??"

[Soaring Feather]

Ohhhh ma you and those knees!!

Here Ma, grab this! If you fall out of the balloon you can ride this to the ground.

[TEXOKIE]

Got the knees covered, Ms Kathy! Here's a pillow! Hope someone grabbed a telescope!

"OH WOW!!! WE'RE ABOVE THE CLOUDS!!! "

The Bubblacious Beer Can floats serenely over a live fire range where the troops are training for combat.

[Fawnn]

I tend to get motion sickness, so I'll just pretend we're at Cedar Point and I'll stay down here and hold the purses. ;)

[TEXOKIE]

"TEX!!! GET US OUT OF HERE!!!!"

We're not sure which Canteener made this temperate and logically thought out request of TEX, but she did not shilly shally to second guess!

"WE GOTTA GET HIGHER SO THE ROUNDS DONT REACH US AND PUNCTURE THE BEER CAN!!! Throw out the rest of the sandbags!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Okay Fawnn that's good. Have you seen Texokie of late? Is she getting gas for the balloons??

[Kathy in Alaska]

Can I wear my clown suit?

[HiJinx]

C'mon up, Fawnn...we've got the motion sickness thing covered!

[TEXOKIE]

The balloon shot up faster than the speeding bullet that was heading for the first "B" in the Beer Can's logo.

"WHEW!! That was close!!"

Tex was thinking that Kathy gave her her weak knees because she almost fell overboard when they buckled!

After breathing hard for about 5 minutes, Tex and the Canteen crew look up at the stars. The night is very dark. The clouds have thinned below, and they can see a few lights here and there, but the sky and the Milky Way are totally awesome.

[HiJinx]

Ooooh, thanks for the telescope! Can everyone see the Grand Canyon down there? That little white line is the trail from the South Rim to the Phantom Ranch.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Look at all the sites HiJinx is showing us. Cool!! Beautiful from up here.

[HiJinx]

Oh, we're looking at stars now?

[TEXOKIE]

Ms FEather, I think I should remind you that you are IN the balloon with us, and not only are we gassed, we have been dodging bullets!

Ms Fawnn, I can understand your hesitance in getting into ANY kind of moving transport with Ms Feather here. Things tend to go all kinda colleywobbled when she's involved....Thanks for holding the purses!

Right now we are catching our breath and discovering that the sky is clear above these clouds and the stars are as bright as a planetarium!

[HiJinx]

Look at all those sandbags!

How're going to get back down?

[Soaring Feather]

Food we need Food. LaDivaLoca always provided food, but she has gone to bed. Sooooooo

[Kathy in Alaska]

Not to worry. HiJinx brought the Dramamine for you. Just hang on. When TEX and ms feather are together on an adventure, you never know what will happen. Hang on and enjoy

My backup dialup is very slow.
