The reflections on the ground from the water look better than dry streets in the dark. It also helps with lighting since light reflects off of water.

If memory serves correctly, the U.S. had the worlds largest helium reserves, and would not sell any to Germany, a nation who was completely lacking in access to helium. Ergo, hydrogen.

That might be part of it. Did the U.S. zeppelins use helium, then? If so, why did they stop using the craft after the Hindenburg disaster? I recall reading that the entire industry collapsed after that incident.

It was also true that the US department of Helium did not want the Germans to abuse helium by inhaling it and speaking in really high pitched German. Hitler, himself was also against it as inhaled helium made crowds laugh as he gave his speeches.

Bad press and customer trepidation likely played a part ("It's helium, not hydrogen. It's safe, not dangerous." is a nuance most people won't care about it), but airplanes are the more likely answer. Zeppelins were a transitional product and heavier-than-air craft are wildly superior.

Much as I love my fedoras, I've never cared much for gray ones. They seem like Old Guy hats. Though I have 2, a charcoal gray and a light gray, both from Akubra in Australia.
But then, there was the gray wide-brimmed fedora Dr. Jones wears with his dark blue suit in Raiders, both on the seaplane and at the end of the film. Hardly a geezer or codger look there.

Smelling hay is often of low quality and can exhibit allergies or even trigger allergic responses in the smeller. This can turn people off of the medicinal and aesthetic benefits of smelling hay.
Shop carefully and choose only top-quality, organic, hypoallergenic smelling hay. Smelling hay is a fine a product when it is manufactured with love and care!

Akubra sells one called the Campdraft. It looks just like the Stetson Open Road, in fact I understand Akubra once made Open Roads under license for Stetson. *Very* reasonably priced.

The Zeppelin - named for a man - is gliding through the sky as a phallus, thrusting toward the air surrounding Mother Earth in a metaphorical description of the industrial (masculine) rape of the natural environment (feminine). The bare trees turgidly pointing upward from the earth clearly represents the wizened and ancient patriarchy erupting out of the firmament after insinuating its roots into the earth mother.
Even the human subjects are all men, celebrating the transient achievements of men, while women are marginalized to the point of their utter absence.
This painting is a grotesque vision of Eurocentric patriarchal supremacism.

They played all over the Front Range. But I think they disbanded a few years ago. When I knew them it was 1997-2002, and their second CD (their last?) came out in '03 or '04.
Their most requested tune was an original, "Neo-Nazi Samba." No, really. It poked fun at skinheads and at "Sandpoint, Idaho, where everyone is white as snow."
Can't think of the name. Two words, like Destiny's Children, but not that.

Accordingly, Yael Lempert, the acting head of the US mission to the United Kingdom, issued a diplomatic reprimand to Britain's Brexit minister, Lord Frost, and delivered a veiled threat that America's proposed trade deal with Britain depended upon Boris Johnson's government acceding to Biden's demands.

I went to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska with Captain Josepha Sabin yesterday. It is a small museum, with some outstanding holdings.
One picture there, The Smugglers Return, has been featured on the Art Thread, IIANM.
They had a well restored Titian, a Rembrandt, and some nice Impressionistic, American West and American Indian art.
The concentration of wealth in Omaha led to some direct buys in the 1900sm-1910s from French painters. They had a Mary Cassatt, Woman Reading , 1878-79, and a dramatic John Singer Sargent,
Portrait of Mrs. A. Lawrence Rotch, 1903. She looks like a battlecruiser and probably costs as much.

Anyone who has flown in turbulence has felt this, but a modern airliner is structurally far more substantial than an airship's minimal trusses and ribs. Which played no small part in the fact that all three of the aforementioned airships met their demise in the teeth of violent storms.
Blimps are smaller, of course. But are more durable, because that gas-bag has no internal structure, and hence, can flex and give to a far greater degree than a dirigible. Downside is, a blimp's speed limit is when the nose of the envelope deforms with increasing air resistance, at speed.

The only way we can continue bending the arc of history toward progress is to have difficult and crucial conversations. This training document seeks to initiate uncomfortable topics from a place of critical, caring confrontation of various elements of supremacism that still infect our culture.
Privileged white women, while often allies, also exhibit exclusionary behavior due to the internalized misogyny and racism that they posses due to those attitudes' universal and structurally significant presence within their cultural milieu. Discussions such as these help those allies identify their own privilege and work to overcome it.
People of color and members of immigrant communities have different standards, and these standards are at least equal to the domestic standards. These conversations help us build an inclusive community by eliminating the moral absolutism and double standards of the majority and helping women embrace all forms of love.

Yeah, my guess is that a handler (stage manager? manaager? security) walked each of them off stage and directly to the black SUV that took them to the hotel. I spent years working arena shows, and most of the time, that was the drill. If they leave the drunks to party backstage, they can wander into the hallways and such and trip over things and hurt themselves.
The Powers that Be don't want the "talent" hurting themselves, so honestly, my guess is "take them back to the hotel asap."

Back when I worked at Lockheed the Skunks Works guy in charge of all the buoyant aircraft stuff they were working on gave a presentation on the modern state of the art. He said, and I can't verify this, that they were actually not affected that much by gusts/ turbulence. They were affected by going across fronts because of the low thrust values that they once had. The biggest problem they had was the ground interface, how to get things on and off and where to do that, and of course ballasting. He said the new designs with the air cushion on the bottom can be reversed to suck it to the ground, so you didn't need a special tower, and they had a way to fix the ballasting.
If you are familiar with airplane design there's an equation that shows an upper limit to any conventional heavy lifting body aircraft. The lighter than air equation shows there's no limit and it could be as big a city conceivably.

But, not not at all necessary. Pence had some money from his real life, and he earned about a quarter million per year as VP, plus presumably already had a house they sold when they bought this one.
$2 million is a lot of money, but it's not so much that it makes me immediately think "back room corruption." It might be a factor (he was in the government, after all), but it needn't be at that price.

Remember Conservative or Labor in the UK is more a cultural identity than a policy statement. The Conservatives do have a conservative wing, but the bulk of the party is squishy centrist. Labor used to have a squishy centrist Tony Blair "New Labor" wing, but they ran them all out of the party and it's just the Trotskyites versus the Stalinists versus the Maoists.

Hubby. He went up in an airplane for the first time in 1934 at the age of eight. He'd talked his mother into letting him taking him to the airport for a ride in a biplane. The pilot did loops and spins and stalls and rolls, hubby hooting with delight the entire way.
When they got back to the ground, Dick's mom rushed the plane, snatched him out and yelled, "You're never going up in one of those things again."
He died with a little over sixty thousand logged hours.

There was serious interest in using them in the same way container ships are used. Their speed is faster than ships but slower than rail. They can hold as much as a train or container ship. And could land wherever there is a huge field. But that kind of all petered out. I don't know why. I think there was a big shipping company that pulled their potential interest out.

The only surviving film of George M. Cohan, which unfortunately is in blackface, shows his style of singing and dancing (big strides from one end of the stage to the other, for example) is the style that Cagney used in Yankee Doodle Dandy. It occurred to me that there were people alive when the movie was made, maybe including Cagney, who had seen Cohan on stage and would have recognized the impression, like we see Rami Malek doing Freddie Mercury and recognize Freddie Mercury's mannerisms.

That is a logbook which few, if any, will ever match again. Consider, that a Senior Pilot, facing mandatory retirement from the airlines (at age 65) will likely have about 40k-ish hours logged.
Sixty thousand hours is mind-boggling. THAT is the guy you want up front in "the office", when things go pear-shaped in the air-space. A toast (covfefe; the bourbon lamp is NOT lit!), to the late Mr. Creeper.

It is a very expensive process and the supply is driven by economics. I often hear of a helium shortage but that is driven by the current production level and not resources.
Crazy lady owner of a company I know is blowing $100K on a helium recovery system because she wants to virtue signal because "We're running out of Helium!!!" to look "Green". The ROR is abysmal but she's the boss and it's her money.

The square-cubed law sucks for airplanes but is great for lighter-than-air vehicles. (When you scale up something, the surface area increases by the square of the scale while the volume increases by the cube. So, if you take something and double its size, the new copy will have ~4 times the surface area and ~8 times the volume of the original.)
Put differently, you can design and make a model airplane that will fly but fails miserably when you scale it up to full size. It's a lot harder to make a model airship that is able to fly at all.
A 1000 cubic feet of helium will lift ~62 pounds. (A 1000 cubic feet of hydrogen will lift ~65 pounds.)

And displacing a thousand cubic feet of water will float a ship of 62,000 lbs.
A zeppelin that could carry the Evergreen's cargo would truly be a sight.

Hydrogen and helium are similar in lifting capability because you don't use hydrogen, you use the molecule H2. Two Hydrogens roughly have the same lift as helium because helium is a noble gas, so H2 = He.
Dirigibles became increasing impractical as engines got more powerful and aircraft more useful.
Dirigibles have a couple of flaws by their nature. Landing is hard in any sort of wind. Updrafts can force them to vent their lifting gas to avoid rupture, creating a cycle of rapid rise and then fall.
Hydrogen was NOT why the Hindenburg went up. It was painted in a mix of aluminum and iron oxides, aka thermite, on its cotton canvas envelope (exterior bag). Engine leaked deasil fuel, spark happened (probably from static discharge when landing rope hit ground), and the envelope caught fire.
The best dirigibles were the US: the Macon and Akron (with a nod to the UK R-100), both lost to disasters. Flying aircraft carriers! With the loss of their proponent, Admiral Moffit, the program ceased. US Navy wanted more battleships anyway (Navy always addicted to big ships).
Insufferable pedant away! I'm full of useless facts!
