The race was supposed to be 70 “hound” balloons in chase of the &lt;a href="http://www.energizer.com/bunny/balloonfacts.asp"&gt;Energizer Bunny Balloon&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently there were some problems because the event was delayed and I did not see the Bunny Balloon. Other balloons did take off ..&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p style="text-align:right;"&gt;&#10; For more pictures visit my album on Picasa Web &amp;#8211; &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/arunzech/GreatBallonRace"&gt;Great Ballon Race&lt;/a&gt;&#10;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Waiting for the train</title><link>https://zech.in/posts/waiting-for-the-train/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Sep 2006 00:41:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://zech.in/posts/waiting-for-the-train/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The new Metrolink line in St. Louis now connects Downtown to Shrewsbury.
