Thank God We Have Email Now

It's not the most efficient medium, but it's damn poignant:

TOKYO (AFP) - A letter that a young girl in Japan sent into the sky in a balloon some 15 years ago has been found on a fish hauled from 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) below the Pacific.

A fisherman found the still legible piece of paper sitting on a sticky flatfish in his catch on Thursday, along with a torn-off string and the fragment of a red balloon.

Read the rest.

If you want to leave a comment, I suggest you don't liberate a balloon over the North Branch of the Au Sable...just hit the link.
