The meteorologist asked him if he ever heard of this old mid 60's band called "Question Mark and the Mysterians"
and this one song called " Land of a Thousand Dances."
The doctor said yah! weren't they from Lacrosse, Arizona!
The Loonie dude said he met one of them (who?) at this bar near the campus, called the Cumulo-Nimbus.
The meteorologist went on to say that he did some power drinking there while in collage at the atmosphere physics
dept.
The "noted" psychiatrist said "wasn't that the bar that advertised " A potential thunderstorm
in every "UN-opened" bottle of beer?"
The meteorologist said, "how the hell do I know! I didn't know Arizona was in Wisconsin!"
"It isn't you fool! It's in Lacrosse!" The psychiatrist cut in and asked if any of them ever heard of
the Byrds.
"Yeah, they were an early 60's group from Lacrosse, Arizona."
The meteorologist said their big "hit" was called "8 miles high", or was it 8 millibars high?
The "loonie" dude from 'Zona said he once saw this early 60's movie called the Birds with Tippi Hedron
and Ron Taylor.
The psychiatrist said he heard of a Senator Byrd from West Virginia.
"Yeah!" the meteorologist said "I've heard of him! Wasn't he married to a lady called Bird Johnson.
The Ex. 1st lady of the land from Texas."
The psychiatrist said he didn't know about that; but, was positive Senator Byrd's wife was called LadyBird Byrd!
And that the "Good Senator" had taken her on a second honeymoon up to Viagra Falls, NY!
The "loonie" dude from Lacrosse (where?) lit up one of those new brands of cigarettes called Northern
Light(s) 100's.
The psychiatrist, who didn't smoke, said, " Smoking could be hazardous to your health, but worrying about
it could be deadly."
The meteorologist said he once got "blitzed in Hazzard, Kentucky!"
After a week of this madness, the meteorologist and the "loonie" dude from 'Zona were gladly released
for free from that old treatment center in Lathrop Wells. The "good doctors" were in need of treatment.
The meteorologist in question never returned to Reno. He spent the rest of this life in Search of the Holy Gale!
