Look! ... Up In the Sky! ... It's ...


Here's a shot I took early last night, as I was heading across the Chap Center parking lot, getting ready for the College Fair - an event organized by the Midland Independent School District, taking place at MC.

My grandfather would have been thrilled! He served with the 102nd Balloon Company, US Army Air Corps, part of the American Expeditionary Force in France during World War I. He would have loved to watch the blimp pass overhead, especially one bearing this particular likeness of Snoopy, suited-up to do battle with that great nemesis of World War I - the Red Baron!

Howdy, Miss Pattie. If you look closely at the left end of the blimp, you can see Snoopy's a... er ... tail.
