the red balloon(s)

Who has the patience to sit in a lawn chair for a 193-mile ride through the air, hoisted by 105 large helium balloons? A 47-year-old gas station owner, that's who. Brilliant. Fearless. Quirky. I think he could make money off of this, although I suppose the trip is at your own risk. A lawn chair! I imagine it gets a little uncomfortable after a while. What if you wanted to get off a stretch? Did he read a book or listen to music or have a drink? I bet plenty of Belgians would have the lounging experience to do such a thing.
