Tonight was one of those wonderful Michigan evenings where the sky is purple and the air is cool and refreshing. Nights like tonight make me love every second of living here.

"They happened every so often, depending on temperature and the level of chemicals in the air. When the particulate matter in the atmosphere was sufficient, light from the ground got trapped and reflected back, and the entire Detroit sky would become the soft pink of cotton candy. It never got dark on pink nights, but the light was nothing like daytime.... We had all grown on up with pink nights. They were not a natural phenomenon, but they were natural to us" -- Jeffery Eugeneides "Middle-sex" page 502.
I remember going to a Tigers pennant race game in 1990 down at the corner. They sky was like it was tonight, simply beautiful and human and unique to Detroit..
