blimp
The word is as awkward as its looks - a fat bomb that refuses to fall. It hovers around downtown LA like a weird man made mini-raincloud advertising what made Los Angeles it is today - tires.
I’m fascinated. I briefly traveled around downtown trying to get a glimpse of the blimp from different angles. Next time it is out, I’m going to chase it to its home… and maybe, finally, I’ll be able to meet a blimp pilot! This would complete the circle for me.

I live in Trinidad and we have a government sponsored blimp here; it is used in surveillance (the crime here is very high). It’s freaky though- no one knows the capabilities of surveillance that the blimp has- so whenever it flies over you find yourself ending your cell phone conversations and generally pretending that you’re a tree.
