Re: An annual problem
One weekend per year? Cry me a river. Try living in any location when the bloody tourist-ride hot-air balloons are launching on what should be a quiet weekend dawn. You wouldn't believe how intrusive the things are until you have to live with them. I had the misfortune of discovering this in Yountville in the Napa Valley while we were waiting for this place to close escrow. Never had a Saturday or Sunday lie-in. Awful, awful things, hot air balloons. Should be outlawed for tourist use.
