This afternoon as I walked out of my workplace building I saw two of my co-workers looking up at the sky. They pointed out the Goodyear Blimp to me. It was hovering perhaps a thousand or less feet directly above our base. I thought that was unusual. Who gave the crew of the blimp permission to check out our base from up above ?
As I drove out of the base and then ultimately southbound on Speedway Boulevard – or as I sometimes refer to it ‘The Homestead-Miami Speedway Expressway’ – the blimp followed me (and beat me). It drifted over to where North Canal Drive meets Speedway Boulevard, turned around, and then flew directly over my car as I approached my right-hand turn onto North Canal Drive.
One of these days I will somehow someway get myself into one of those blimps on a nice leisurely sightseeing trip over this area. I’ve always wanted to do that. Blimps are fascinating to me.
