Releasing balloons

Remember as a kid the combined joy and sadness of releasing a balloon? It's so lovely to watch it float up and imagine where it might go; but then sad, because you'd just let your balloon go...

Fun fact: in NSW this would be illegal. Seriously. Apparently releasing balloons is against the Protection of the Environment Operations Act. In fact, if you release 100 or more balloons it's aggravated releasing of balloons. As if you could release balloons in an aggravated manner - it's far too lovely a thing to do... Hello nanny state.
