Daddy's new toy

A couple of years ago Daddy came home and told me of this fantastic idea he had for a new research toy. "A blimp, Claire! We could fly it over the beach or wherever and attach all kinds of instruments and cameras to do detailed monitoring!" My reply was along the lines of "Are you kidding?!?"

The answer? No.



Daddy and his co-conspirator Mr. Jack had an open house today for their sexy new blimp, bought with money from a rich old lady in Texas. Thank you, lady!

Daddy showed us how very light his blimp is.



The kids could pull it down. If it wasn't tethered to a few cinder blocks it would float to the ceiling of Mr. Jack's building. Word is it's due to fly around the stadium sometime this spring. Daddy is excited for the UD PR people to paint a gigantic blue chicken on it.
