Notes - a double rainbow complicated by analogy


         You left University Heights in near east Cleveland at 1430 hours and arrived home at 1914 hours. While on I-71 in Clinton County you saw a funnel cloud out your left window and pointed it out to Carol, saying, “That looks ominous.” She couldn’t see it well from her front side of the seat but said that it didn’t seem likely but when you arrived home Carol said the news commented that there was a tornado seen near I-71 in Clinton County.

         What you say is true, Amorella, but I was not going to bring it up because I do not know if it was the same cloud. I did not see it touch down so even if it was a funnel cloud that doesn’t mean there is a connection. It might have been my mistake in observation or a coincidence in location. Clinton County is pretty good size, plus the time of the event may be incorrect. I did not check the clock at that time. So, what good is it to report something that may not be true? You do things like this and there is bound to be trouble.

         Upon arriving at your development off Mason-Montgomery Road the sun popped out between the clouds for a few minutes and when you pulled in the driveway you immediately got the camera because you and Carol were witnessing a full double rainbow which you normally take as a sign of good fortune because that is how it appears at the moment.

         Yes. I thought, ‘what a surprise,’ and rushed to take a photo. The difference here is that I had substantial proof of the double rainbow. Here is the photo:



         I believe the photo was taken between seven and seven-thirty. Anyway, this is a partial photo. I did not take a picture of the whole rainbow because I didn’t think it would work. The lense would not scope that much of the horizon. So, no proof, even in the photo of a full double rainbow – we did witness it though – a very pretty sight indeed. And, I felt fortunate and thankful that we made it home from another good trip to Kim and Paul’s (and Owen and Brennan’s) home in Cleveland.

         You see a problem parallel to this evening’s posting, correct? – Amorella

         Let’s say if this posting were an analogy then I see the possibility of a parallel analogy in my private life.

         Acceptable enough. Post, orndorff, and welcome home. Amorella
