WEST MARLBOROUGH: Science fiction double feature

Driving home through West Marlborough on Friday evening at about 9:30 was magical and weird. On Earth level, the fireflies lit up the fields. Up in the sky, there were still some thunderstorms around, and the lightning would periodically light up the clouds. Occasionally I'd see an actual bolt of lightning rather than the general glow. It reminded me of some Saturday-afternoon mad-scientist movie where the experimental brain pulses with light.
