Best line of the day, so far

“If you really want to get a taste of it, come out and go with us.”

— Mike Krepfl, owner of AAA Pumping Service, which provides 401 porta-potties to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. He’s offering a free ride-along if you want to look into the business. From story in The Albuquerque Tribune.

Money quote: “[Fiesta field manager Sam] Baxter says he received a letter from a lady from the East Coast ‘thanking us immensely for providing a little ledge [in the porta-potty] for her purse,’ not knowing what the urinal was for.”

This evening’s events have been canceled after hard rains again this afternoon. [1.47 inches of rain Monday officially.]
