Zeppelins are heavy metal—or at least they've got metal skeletons. Blimps, on the other hand, aren't.Edhttp://www.edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-54596989903695719172015-01-20T09:20:37.987-06:002015-01-20T09:20:37.987-06:00A fellow I knew who has passed, a blogger and frie...A fellow I knew who has passed, a blogger and friend, used to be into hot-air ballooning.

So you have to be careful of what you say. Especially in rural gun owner territory. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108059788384412586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-50461525699795935152015-01-19T19:44:44.828-06:002015-01-19T19:44:44.828-06:00I've seen the Goodyear blimp several times... ...I've seen the Goodyear blimp several times... but a few years ago, when we were living in Maine, a blimp was housed at the old Loring Air Force Base right next to us. It was being used for research of some kind, manned by a contractor for the military. It was quit loud and they flew way too low over the refuge. I forget how much altitude was required, but they were lower than that. I'd take photos and e-mail them down to the district law enforcement<br />office. When we were there last summer that project had been moved downstate and the blimp was gone. Down here in the Rio Grande Valley there are (I think unmanned) blimp-like things... I think they are tethered.... I've been told they are used by Border Patrol somehow to spot illegals, but I don't know that. Now... darn it, Dizzy, you've gotten my curiosity aroused and I'm gonna have to find out.....

I don't think there is enough money in the world to entiice me to climb into a tiny gondola and fly through the air, and the same goes for a hot air balloon. I don't even care for airplanes. <br /><br />I was never into Led Zeppelin, but my youngest son gave me a cassette tape (which I still travel with) of their music. Their drummer is the absolute best I have ever heard in my life! (BTW, my 2006 Highlander still has the cassette feature along with radio, cd and the rest.<br />Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
