And yet another, a dab of colour on a monochrome scene. That all four recent entries are pink speaks of their obvious common purpose, although how pink became the colour of love is a more obscure question. Nonetheless, four escapes within 48 hours attests to the popularity of a pink balloon as a token of love.
Wikipedia notes (at the time of writing) that Valentine's Day is the world's second largest card-sending holiday of the year, after Christmas. It doesn't mention balloons, alas, but although the recent pink quartet still looks sparse compared to the utter surfeit of last Christmas, it's still the most concentrated cluster of escapes I've seen apart from that, so maybe the same holds true.
