I got a weather alert on my phone that seemed a little puzzling. Fog warning. Seriously? I got it midday in what was a chilly, overcast day. I thought my phone was messing with me again. That was until I went out to Powers Field to cover Cheyenne Post 6’s game at 7:30 p.m. I showed up a bit early to get a few features of the crowd, but soon after I arrived a dense fog appeared quickly and rolled across the field. The JV game before the varsity game was eventually delayed and called when the fog became so thick that outfielders couldn’t see fly balls in the outfield. The whole scene had a ghostly feel about it. Reminded me of that movie “Silent Hill,” except for the whole being dead and not knowing it part. At least, I don’t think I’m dead. That would be unfortunate.
