Kentucky Color: An unexplainable experience

By Billy Joe Fudge

It was a Dark Moon night in a summer of the'60's. Standing on a hillside populated by hundreds of bales of Alfalfa, just off Bird Road; I could not make out any of the store buildings just a few hundred yards away. During my youth there were no security lights to interrupt the darkness on the Ridge. I just had to guess at where Yank's store was setting and where Mr. Coomer and his brother Alton lived. Occasionally, a passing car would illuminate the scene just long enough for me to calculate how good a guesser I was.

My best friend, Daryl Fletcher and I found ourselves standing in the darkness waiting on Daryl's Dad, J W to go home to get Daryl's Mom, Deloris and his little brother, Lynn. We spoke about how we could not see Daryl's Pa Harmon's store but when we looked up we could see the furthest reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. We talked about a lot of other things like the enormity of the Universe compared to the minutia of the molecular world.

Finally, they came bouncing across the field in J W's ton flat-bed truck. Oh and yes, it had that infamous "extension" bolted onto the back end of the bed.
