A solo-seat hot air balloon landed in Harrisonburg Monday night.

Dentist Robert Deitrich says he made a soft landing in someone's front yard at the Belmont Estates about an hour after taking off from Singers Glen.

He says his balloon in one of two dozen in the country.

Deitrich also says homeowners don't usually mind when he turns their lawns into a landing strip.

Why is this even newsworthy? A cloud hopper makes a landing. Big whoop!

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
