Lofty BLIMP
— A Floating Coffee Shop In The Sky
Like many people, I get lots of work done from various coffee shops around town.
One of my favorite spots is Lofty Coffee — about a block from Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA. It’s up high — so they call it Lofty. You can *almost* see the beach.
But today, we had a crazy idea.
What could be better than Lofty Coffee? What could be Lofty-er? What could be Lofty-est?
A blimp! What if we rented a blimp? And worked from a floating coffee shop in the sky? That would be the loftiest coffee. You’d definitely be able to see the beach.
So I looked up prices for blimps. Apparently you don’t need a license to fly them. And the price ranges from $150 to $1200 per day. Wwhat does that even mean? Suppose it means that 12 people pay $100 to work from a floating coffee shop.
I’d do that, for at least one day. What an experience.
What do you think?
