The Pretty Colors...
My friends.
I've never done drugs in my life. Well... I drink. But I mean nothing illegal. I like to believe my parents raised me right. or I couldn't find any good stuff. No. They raised me right.
But driving into work today. I felt like someone dropped acid into my cereal milk.
I hop in my car... around 5am. It's always dark when I leave for work. But today, I notice out of the corner of my eye... towards the south end of Pittsburg... the ENTIRE sky is bright. But not just spotlight bright... it's green too. Bright green. Green clouds. Green sky. "WTF?" I think to myself. I continue my drive, crossing over the 4th street bridge and look again. The sky is now bright blue, and turning purple. Then it goes to blood red.
What the hell is going on? I can still see it as I get all the way out to Pittsburg High School... and out here at the studios.
I ask Thom and Dalton, the other AM hosts if they saw it, and they look at me like I have 4 heads. I'm thinking I should call into Coast to Coast AM and tell them some weird shit is going on over Pittsburg, KS.
But Thom has a moment of brilliance. "I know what it is" he says, without ever seeing the light. "They're testing out Pitt State's new Jumbotron."
That's right. The new $1.7 million scoreboard. All-LED lights. They were doing a color test on it. And the sucker was bright enough to be seen from over THREE MILES AWAY. Maybe even from space.
I feel bad for the neighbors. I feel bad for wen the fans show up Saturday for the game and need to wear sunglasses.
I feel even worse for the neighbors if they test the soundsystem tomorrow at 5am.
And if you want an acid trip without the acid... check out the South Pittsburg sky at about 5am. It'll blow your mind.
