And, Blimp Gone Wild:
On Monday, Customs and Border Protection lost its multi-million dollar border surveillance balloon, that was floating over South Padre Island, Texas, due to severe wind. Instead of landing in the Gulf of Trumpica as The Border Chronicle predicted, it ended up in Dallas of all places. (Hat tip to intrepid reporter Jack Sapoch for the head’s up on this blimp drama). BTW, The Border Chronicle’s very own Caroline Tracey recently published an article with a fascinating history on these surveillance blimps that we in the borderlands, unlike Dallas, are all too familiar with.
