Dan,

As with ballooners of the Civil War getting themselves caught up in trees,
and with us being surrounded by oaks, I'll stick with simple polyprop rope
rigging. I must admit though the custom lawn ornament does sound like a neat

though on second thought my neighbor's may take it as whales mating and
accuse me of being an ecology freak.
