you can stop chasing that rainbow now...
chuck drove me to work today, while his amazing wife volunteered to drop my car off at the shop to get a new tire.it is one of those lovely rainy misty days... and there was a rainbow.
we actually saw the place where the rainbow touched the ground -- that sought-after, pined for, mythical end of the rainbow.
there in the misty morning sunrise, we beheld, for the first time, the object of so many dreams, songs and speculations, the mysterious "what could it be" that lies at the rainbow's end.
it turns out a billboard for harvey's casino is what lies at the end of the rainbow.
we drove on.
unrelatedly, here's the quote that caught my eye today:
"A man asleep is certainly a sight to make angels weep. What good is all his brain, muscle, backing, nerve, influence, and family connections? He's at the mercy of his enemies, and more so of his friends. And he's about as beautiful as a cab-horse leaning against the Metropolitan Opera House at 12.30 A.M. dreaming of the plains of Arabia. Now, a woman asleep you regard as different. No matter how she looks, you know it's better for all hands for her to be that way."

I'll remember this one. Thanks for sharing.
The last rainbow, I did see by the way, was a serious of flamingo lights for the Rainbow Casino. Interesting.
With our wild weather you wouldn't believe the rainbows we get here in Vermont, what with the valleys so tightly crammed together and then sudden evaporation and sunlight coming out of nowhere...
And for other reasons we are truly a "rainbow" state
Just wondering... where is that quote from?
