It's been a slow couple of weeks for ebike riding-- couldn't get out last weekend because I was boost-whacked! Systemic effects from the vax are nearly gone today, but still a bit of lethargy, and my left shoulder has been slow to come back online... I would have been fine today for a little ride around the neighborhood, but it rained this morning, and I didn't want to deal with damp pavement unless I felt at least 85%. So had a boring little workout on the elliptical.
However, I knew I had this shot somewhere on my phone from late last year... of course, this picture would have been much improved if I'd had the Finicky Fuji X-A5-- dirigibles move so slowly that even if it had been up to its usual tricks (the end-user interface is the worst of 21st century engineering-- you can activate dozens of random and largely useless features with touchscreen that are really hard to turn off) I could have gotten a decent image. But no-- this was from earlier in December, when I didn't even have the little 120-gram point-and-shoots that weight-weenie Catalyzt packs because (generally) even
those are better that the camera on my cheap-o, bottom-of-the line Samsung phone.
In the late '90s, they used to fly right over the hills, and much, much lower. You would hear this low, thrumming kind of whir, look up between the trees, and see this ginormous airship floating by... I'm just glad they're still out there.
