Sailing and Balloons

By chance, two newlywed couples enjoyed sailing together on the York River this week. Ryan and Diana Galey live in Albuquerque, the site of an international Hot Air Balloon Festival. Lapel pins depicting balloons are widely bought and traded, and there’s even one for “Breaking Bad,” since the series was filmed in Albuquerque. Diana said city officials had to remove the tombstone of Walter White from a cemetery to prevent vandalism. “Wait a minute,” said Mike Coughlin, sailing with his bride Lauren. “People are going to a cemetery to see the grave of a pretend character? That’s ridiculous.” Only in America.
