A few questions
Monday, June 23rd, 2008 10:28 pmMy known ancestors include people who came from England, Ireland, and Wales. Is it wrong of me to hope there are Scots in there as well so I can collect a full set?
This week is Lightning Safety Awareness Week. Among other things, we are all advised to stay indoors during a thunderstorm, and to "Wait 30 minutes after you hear the last rumble of thunder before going out again." This evening I completely ignored that advice, going outside while the thunder rumbled because the rain was falling while the sun was shining brightly in the west. Do you ever go for walks in thunderstorms just so you can see a rainbow?
When I caught my first glimpse of the rainbow, an involuntary "Whoa!" escaped my lips. There was a brilliant arc in clear jewelled tones from red to violet and backward again to green. Well outside that was a second arc which, while being dimmer than the primary arc, was still brighter and clearer than many rainbows I've seen. What I'm wondering now is: when there's more than one rainbow in the sky, where does the leprechaun go?
