Frank had a thing about the Goodyear blimp. There's a really good view of the city and the ocean from Joe & Darren's house. You can even watch the planes coming in for a landing and taking off. Frank could survey the world from that house.
Every couple of months the blimp would appear in the horizon and Frank would go crazy. He would run back and forth from the bedroom to the living room barking at it. It could be way the heck out there but he would see it and go crazy. We could say "Frank....the blimp??" and he would go nuts.
We never knew what made him do that. Did he think it was a big bird? He also had a thing for crows and they would taunt him as they flew precariously close to the sliding doors all around the house. Maybe he thought the blimp was the mothership of the crows? Who knows......
The other day I was at the house and there was the Goodyear blimp....way out there. I had that adrenaline rush kick in as I cringed waiting for Frank to go crazy. That didn't happen. Wanda, Joe and I watched the blimp in silence and we all missed Frank.
