	Austro-Hungarian Army - Field Pilot's Badge
		This brigade consisted of the railway and telegraph regiment, the automobile corps and the airship detachment and was commanded by the enthusiastic balloon pilot Generalmajor Leopold Schleyer Edler von Pontemalghera.
		The field pilot badge and the navy pilot badge were by the way, with the exception of the merit cross with and without the crown which had a rather civilian character, the only distinction which could be awarded to both officers as well as NCOs and men.
		To secure the badge a very thin and sharp steel pin is found at the reverse which runs from the needle block on the rear side of the Kaiser's crown through a loop at the rear side of the initial shield.

	Balloon HQ presents: Workplaces for Balloon Twisters
		At the last balloon Jam I attended, we made sure we picked up all the balloon bits under and around the table before we left the restaurant (and no, it wasn't at my suggestion; one of the other twisters mentioned it, and all those present complied without hesitation).
		If you are going to be selling balloons, and by this I mean figures not helium, etc..., you will be taking X dollars out of their pockets, and they want to know that they are going to get some of it back.
		Once the plane has landed, balloon animals made in the previous airport should return back to their normal state if there was any change on the airplane, and those made in the plane may experience some wilting as a result of the airpressure increase.

		The thing about middleweight and ballooner bikes is their value shoots up when they have accessories.
		It is a paintee fender bike with the fender paint scheme identicle to earlier balloon S-2 bikes where the painted teardrop is tapered to a point, and the pinstripes flare out to meet the base of the teardrop at the fender's edge.
		I see some ballooners but they are usually very well used and not the high level bikes we all want.

		Now, it's the 168-hour work week: people are expected to be "on call" all the time.
		They may see an underlying thread of logic (or, more likely, of core values) that run through all their different life choices, but others -- notably, human resource directors and others who are employment gatekeepers -- may not.
		Their resumes may offer a fascinating stream of short-term jobs that seem completely unrelated to one another (food server to balloon pilot to alligator wrestler to water ski instructor to tax preparer to steeplejack).
