Merlindex was the winner of Trivia Quiz #8, but will be out of town for a few days. With his permission, and through coordination with Col. Hajj, I have been given clearance to post a Balloon Busters Trivia Quiz in Lieu of Merlindex's posting for Trivia #9. Merlindex will post Trivia #10 once this one is closed out.
The winner of this Balloon Busters Trivia will have the opportunity to post Trivia #11, and the winner to Merlinex's Trivia #10 will be invited to post Trivia #12.
