"Surfers came to the rescue of newly engaged couple Sunday when the hot air balloon where the man had just popped the question dipped into the water off the coast of Cardiff-by-the-Sea."
"Before the balloon started having problems, the man aboard the balloon proposed to his girlfriend, according the lifeguard captain."
"Lifeguards towed the hot air balloon, pilot and newly engaged couple to shore."

The guy failed with the balloon.
Maybe he'll get it up on their wedding night.
The California coast is so cool.
Portent! Red Flag! Dude, pay attention!
Surfers are good people. They rescue many folks. This occurred just south of chickie's casa.
I was there. Watched it happen.
Is that the Obamacare metaphor balloon, or what?
That's right Methadras, you are a SD dude. Do you live near Solano Beach?
I swear to God I did not shoot that balloon. It was too late to save him anyhow. Poor sucker, maybe it was the thin air. To commit bachelor-cide and do so publicly is some kind of mental illness.
Oceanside is around 10 miles up the coast.
When I had a sailboat accident last year (neighbor's boat capsized) in broad daylight, not a single surfer came to our rescue. Motorboats ignored our distress waving. It was only a diligent shore-based lifeguard vessel which finally caught sight of us.
I hope they didn't lose anything valuable because they weren't expecting to get wet.

Is Inga out here visiting her daughter in Oceanside? Maybe we should meet up and talk about blogs.

It's been unseasonably warm out here again during the day -- even near the coast. Hot air doesn't rise as well in hot air. Makes sense if you think about it.

No, but I work in Carlsbad so I drive through Del Mar, Encinitas, Leucadia, and Solana Beach daily on the 5. It was interesting to watch, but then I got bored and left. The have balloon launches here all the time and often when the wind shifts, they will go wonkey, but not like this one.

Bro. Come on.
If she floats, she's a witch.
And I think that allows you to take a mulligan.
Just can't believe no one has used "went over like a lead balloon".
Come on, am I really that fricking old!
Are you all thought how fricking clichéd... that's it, I'm sure.
I thought of that Keith Moon line too, X-Ray. You aren't alone.
Please replace your divots.
chick, I'm pretty sure she is. Her daughter is being transferred to the Great Lakes Navy station. Of course, it could all be lies, just like much of what she spews. You know her face. Remember how she used to constantly talk about the paleo diet and losing weight. Well, she never talks about it anymore so I reached out to a source. She has put all the weight back on plus some.
Spinelli knows people. Who know people. I am concerned.
Sixty, You never need be concerned. No one here does.
Unless they fuck w/ mia famiglia!!
