Morning. How you doing? I got into ballooning by accident. Slowing down a little bit. This is my 32nd year and this is my 20th year here at Albuquerque. We are just flying above the surface of the earth like, you know, really, you know, close to the ground or high up. I mean, it’s unique. You have a few types of aviation where you can just float above the ground. So, yeah, after that first flight, it’s like you’re hooked. This is the biggest ballooning event in the world by far. So, every year, they kind of pared it down. Now they settled between 550 and 600 balloons. I’ve been coming out for 40 years, since I came out of here for college. And it’s fabulous every single time. Can’t beat it. It screams New Mexico. I don’t know another place that has something remotely close to this. It’s almost like a tradition to come every year. So, every New Mexican knows that it’s the balloon time. There are balloons here from, I think, this year’s 17 countries in the world. Well, the festival started 48 years ago with only 12 balloons to start with. And it happened basically in celebration of the founder’s mother’s birthday. And so here we are 48 years later. But I would imagine that we’re going to be somewhere between 800,000 and a million over the nine-day period of the festival. The balloons themselves are located in a large launch field, but the crowd can go right up to them and touch them. I am inspired by it. One of the things that I heard yesterday, which really touched my heart, was a young boy telling his mother this is the best day ever. And so when you hear things like that, it just kind of puts it all in perspective and it makes you feel like you’re doing a good thing. See you next year!

早上好。你怎么样?我是偶然涉足热气球这一行业的。慢一点。这是我在阿尔伯克基的第32年,这是我在这里的第20年。我们只是在地球表面上飞行,可以离地面很近,也可以飞得很高。我是说,这很特别。有几种不同的飞行方式,你可以漂浮在地面上。所以,是的,在第一次飞行之后,你就会被这项运动吸引。这是迄今为止世界上最大的热气球比赛。所以,每年,他们都会控制数量。现在热气球数量稳定在550到600个气球之间。自从我上大学以来,我参加这项活动已经40年了。每一次都很棒。没有比这更美妙的事了。它是新墨西哥的缩影。我不知道还有哪一个地方有类似的东西。这几乎是每年的传统。所以,每一个新墨西哥人都知道现在是乘气球的时候了。这里有来自今年世界上17个国家的气球。这个节日始于48年前,当时只有12个气球。刚开始是为了庆祝创始人母亲的生日。经过48年发展到现在这个样子。但我可以想象,在为期9天的电影节期间,我们将有80万到100万观众。气球本身位于一个大的发射场地,但观众可以直接走向气球并触摸它们。气球本身位于一个大的发射场地,但观众可以直接走向气球并触摸它们。我深受鼓舞。昨天我听到的一件事真的触动了我的心,那就是一个小男孩告诉他的妈妈今天是最好的一天。所以当你听到这样的事情时,你会更加准确地审视这项活动,让你觉得你在做一件好事。明年再见!
