This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Dirigible In The Atrium
Dirigible is a funny word. This dirigible is a blimp. It appeared in the atrium of the building I work in. Now you know as much about it as I do.
I googled the terms the other day. A blimp is a type of dirigible... it is one where the pressure of the gasses inside keeps it inflated. There are also dirigibles with rigid or semi-rigid skeletons. Zeppelins are either rigid or semi-rigid, made by the Zeppelin company in Germany.
It turns out this one was made by someone who believes blimps can be used to transport materials to northern communities who are currently reliant on winter roads (only open a portion of the year, when lakes, etc. are frozen) and expensive air freight.
