Surreal scene at Miller Park

The surreal scene at the conclusion of last night's 3-2, 10-inning victory by the MILWAUKEE BREWERS over the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS in Game 5 of the NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES wasn't the sight of complete strangers running up to offer congratulatory high-fives.
That happens every time a success-starved community celebrates an unexpected victory.
No, for me the surreal scene occurred as sat in the parking lot, enjoying some postgame tailgating while a long line of cars attempted to exit.
Looking up into the night sky, we could see some of the golden, shiny confetti dumped on the stands being blown up and through the open roof of Miller Park.
Caught in the parking lot lights, the confetti looked like sparks emitted from a volcano.
Until they came fluttering down to earth, when the shiny confetti looked like double-sized, golden fireflies.

It was a remarkable scene after last night's remarkable game.
