Holy shit, blimps!
Is there any single brand in the world more fucked by one incident than blimps are by the Hindenberg crash? Planes survive hijackings and explosions, cruise ships survived the Titanic, but this morning I read this bit in the Times about how blimps (”airships”) are making a comeback because of rising fuel costs and concerns about global warming (the carbon footprint of a blimp is minimal compared to a plane, apparently) and the first thing I thought was, Hindenberg. Would you fly on a blimp?
Also, we may be a little slow this weekend. I’m in Western Mass (though I’m about to go to an “Indigenous Items” flea market though which I imagine will give me an item or two) and it’s the holiday but we’ll be back in force on Monday. Also, it’s time for a new “gay marry/abort” hot/not list. Any nominations?
