Inflated Defense or 1984


This is a blimp that has been floating around DC the past day. It is part of an Army demonstration to political VIPs. I heard it is suppose to be some kind of forward observer, exactly like the dirigibles used between 100 and as recently as 50 years ago by the US Navy. A lot of residents called the Metropolitan Police Department to report a UFO when they saw the blimp brightly lit and flying low over the city early this morning. I hope I'm not the only one asking myself, "Why is our Army using blimps?!"

Darting for Drinks


Me and some friends headed down to Buffalo Billiards in DuPont to kick-off dart season. For lack of better words, we darted through the downpour to get there. I won 1 out of 5 games, no longer my old record-breaking self. So, instead I heckled the pool players and argued that Plato was a jerk, something I am good at.
