The things you see when you don’t have a camera

Posted on March 22, 2007 by Gene

So, there I am, sitting in front of my house yakking on the phone about my crappy day, when I hear this strange sound — a rumble, sort of like a helicopter, but not as sharp.
Then I looked up.
Hovering right over my house was the Goodyear blimp. So close I could have thrown something at it.
By the time I ran inside and found my camera, it had drifted away, but here’s a glimpse of the flying object…

Update, Saturday March 24: The Blimp Is Back
Sounding like a dozen lawnmowers floating over my house, the blimp made a return appearance over my neighborhood this afternoon around 3pm. This time, I had my camera within reach… I know, it’s not a big deal, but I don’t see blimps over my house every day!
