10K isn't too bad -- I'd be more worried about the cold.
According to CNN, it's down to 900 feet, so here's hoping it will continue to gently descend.
Balloon landings can be downright rough even when they're controlled.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

I hope the kid's been able to breathe.
If it's true that he's about 2500 ft above Denver (at 5280), he should be okay. 02 tanks for hang gliding generally turn on at 10,000 ft.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It looks like the kid might not be in the balloon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Uh-oh.

Which means he's probably hiding under something going "If I don't come out, they can't yell at me."

Yeah -- please let it not be that he fell out but was freaked and hid somewhere near his home.

Well, best hopes is that it's a hoax, second best that he never got in the balloon...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Those bat photos are wonderful. Allyson has me totally programed now. When I see a bat, I think "Sam!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I believe many libraries have stopped keeping records of what patrons have checked out to circumvent the government asking for said records.
I have to say, I kind of wish they did keep track, since the last time I went to the library, I took out five books, two of which I had read before. I read all the same stuff, and just forgot! Good thing I'm moving...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. I didn't realize that the model playing a stripper on Tom Waits' iconic album cover later went on to have a famous acting career.
Can anybody name her?
