“Trial Balloons/LessTalk, MoreAction” Brooch
by David LaPlantz ·
Politicians do, birds do it, “Let’s fall in love…” Whoops, wrong phrase, sorry. When one wishes to float an idea or a proposal, we suddenly see multicolor balloons blown up, tie strings attached with curious knots and lotsa hot air. Perhaps you have a close friend or loved one who floats trial gallons to get a rise outta you? Do You? How about the politicians who jabber and blow hot about something to see if the crowd reacts. What’s in your mental and verbal, blown up – trial balloon?
