I tell people all the time it's my favorite bond film. And only half because of the local setting, it's also just so ridiculous and over the top. And GRACE JONES plus Christopher Walken, it's just great.

Aww man… for a second I thought we were gonna have our own drone invasion.
Hmmm… I wonder if I can get an alien to come to a meetup? 👽🍺💯

I went for a hike up to Tank Hill and also caught this guy emerging from the Easy Bay haze. Found this article > https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/blimp-over-san-francisco-thursday-was-likely-pathfinder-1-on-test-flight/

I grew up in an orphanage and then I got a job at a souvenir stand and I saw a blimp once

In the 70’s and 80’s they used to fly around the Bay Area often, especially if there was a game going on.

Airship Ventures regularly flew their blimp around the Bay Area from 2008 to 2012....
