EBRA 2018

Today's story and sketch "by me" we are in San Clemente

California, for the annual "CCBP" California Coast Blimp Parade.

Most of the blimps you will see are what are known as

prerunner or show blimps, blimp teams from around the

Galaxy are here to show off their new blimp designs to

the millions of "EBRA", Earth Blimp Racing Association

fans.

What the Teams will not be showing is their newest

diabolical weapons systems, like the latest in frozen

water harpoons, that are believed this year to

have a range of one mile, another new weapon is the hand,

or in some cases the flipper or tentacle held "IML" Ice Missile

launcher, which will surely be a favorite to those race fans

that enjoy watching a crash.

Frozen water weapons that melt after impact make

identifying the shooters much harder or impossible to

prosecute. Frozen water harpoons grounded twenty five of

the one hundred race blimps entered in last years EBRA

race. Twelve of the EBRA race officials where busy in

the off season that manufacture race blimp defense systems.

but those are a story for another time, until then

taa ta the Rod Blog.
