    Part of a $2.55 billion dollar program and can't even keep it tied down. Zip ties are like $5 for a 100 pack.

    Shame.

    It should be over Hillcroft in a few days. It's just following the scent of Ziggy's mother.

    “It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.”

    “Goodyear?”

    “No, the worst.”

    Crazy how he was in that blimp himself. Can't wait to hear the amazing story of how he got out.

    I live on the other side of the state. We've had gusts of over 60mph on my area. So it's not just like it floated away...
