The Goodyear Blimp

I had just finished my afternoon exercises.  As I walk near the back door I hear an unusual motor sound come from the sky. I step out on the porch and look around and I see the the Goodyear Blimp! I run back inside to grab my camera. The lens I had on it would not do, so a change the lens and run back outside.

I can no longer see if from my house, but can still hear it. So I start running down the street and around the block. I am wearing my beat up sandals, so I am not moving very fast. I quickly figure out that I am not going to catch up with it. So I run back home, sort through the kids bikes to find one that still has air in the tiers and ride off after it.

I do catch up with it, but only slowly. For one reason it has been a long time since I have ridden a bike. The other reason is that the bike's chain keeps slipping! After riding a few blocks I realize what I am wearing. I have on an old ratty, paint splattered t-shirt and fairly small paint splattered shorts. Hopefully no one from work will see me I think to my self.

After I lose track of the blimp the later due to not being able to get across a busy street quick enough. I start riding back. And sure enough I ride past the library where I work. It is just after closing and three people see me. Oh well.
