Take an inanimate object and give it life.... as the subject of a story whether it be poetic or a short story in your blog. Remember it is completely from the object's perspective. Have fun

I had a short piece of prose that fit this prompt too well not to use it! Forgive me for re-purposing!

Lots of cool things happened on this day in history, share something really cool from your neck of the woods with us. I've included a link in case you can't think of anything. There are more things than the channel tunnel, which is pretty cool in itself.

Unfortunately, a very notable aviation disaster happened on this day in 1937. In New Jersey the Hindenburg, the largest airs ship of its kind, crashed killing 36 passengers and crew. For those of us who work in aviation, disasters like this are as much a part of the history of flight as are the triumphs like the Wright brother's first manned flight or the Spirit of St. Louis. Taking a moment to look through the photos and news reports from this day in time, I am sobered by the horrible, tragic nature of the accident. I recall again how much respect I have for aviation and for how far we have come in the aspects of safety and engineering.
