The Rainbow Connection

I am kind of a fan of the rainy, windy weekend day, especially when my plans all revolve around my couch. Yesterday was that kind of a day here, which was great until it was time to leave the house. Luckily for me, I was not the assigned driver of the day, which probably would have ruined the "comforting rainy day for me," but also as we were driving, we saw a double rainbow! I really thought that a double rainbow had some kind of "symbolic meaning," but I really found no reference to that on the all-knowing internets. I learned a bit about the science behind rainbows, including multiples, wherein the light rays tend to "bounce around" inside the raindrops, creating larger numbers of rainbows. And learning is always pretty cool. Also pretty cool is that an ice cream manufacturer (high happiness factor!) in San Francisco adopted the name as its own. As an homage to the rainbow, I include the following, a movie moment that never fails to put a smile on my face.
