Dale & Patti Schumacher's Travel Log: Rainy Day in Maryland

One of the few rainy days on our Fall Color Tour. The rain on the roof of the RV is such a peaceful sound. We created a short video this morning, but have been unable to download it onto Blog Spot. So, Dale will post it on Facebook later today.

We had planned to go to Gettysburg today. We'll wait until tomorrow - some sunshine in the forecast. Today, a movie - Steve Jobs. But first, breaking news. As we approached Maryland from the north on Monday, we noted two objects that appeared stationary in the sky. As we approached, they appeared to be blimps. Our only experience with blimps has been the Snoopy Two (and other sports related blimps) that visits Tampa several times each football season to assist in the broadcast of NFL Sunday and holiday college bowl game telecasts. Not stationary, moving slowly around the stadium. We wondered what they were. Made jokes about UFOs, etc. Well, today we found out. One of them broke its tether and drifted on the wind about 200 miles north, into Pennsylvania. The picture below shows them: they're the two specs, left and right of center, you may want to clean off the screen (LOL).

The movie was good, but not very flattering for Steve Jobs. More like an effort at redemption for him based on how poorly he treated those around him - with perhaps some explanation why he was not very likable most of the time. Good movie, perhaps 3.5 stars. Not as good as the first one. This movie presented a similar caricature of Jobs, from a different angle.

Nice relaxing day.
