just put a watcher on the bucket and have it update the balloon's weight when
the bucket's weight changes, or send a signal to the balloon telling it it's
time to change it's weight. It seems a bit silly to have a cause-effect chain
set up and then try to get info from the affected member without going thru
the chain (IE: set up the balloon to only calculate it's wieght when it's asked
to w/o having the bucket ask it to whenever the bucket's weight changes).
thus dropping a rock in the bucket would trigger the balloon to update it's
weight which would trigger the tree's watcher to recalculate everything and see
if Bubba falls out of the tree. Cause-effect, cause-effect.
would be pretty cool to watch from the castle..
