Driving into work this morning I drove through the outskirts of a rain shower. The sky was bright behind me with the rising sun. A rainbow, faded with a bright sky behind it, shimmered before me. As I came down the mountain it seemed to draw nearer. There is a long straight stretch at one point and the end of the ranbow seemed to touch the road in front of me. As I approached it drew away, slipping silently into the parking lot of the school. I was within 50 yards of it when it leaped the trees and fled down through the housing development on the other side. The road curved away then and I lost sight of my lovely companion. Then I turned to enter the base and it was there in front of me, in the distance still fleeing with the rainshower.

What a nice way to start the day.
