Another day in Paradise



Last night at sunset a small thunder cell rolled over the hills behind us. The light, rain, and wind combined to generate one of the truly amazing natural effects I've ever seen. The sky looked to be on fire; rolling waves of rain illuminated in deep reds and purples cascaded down until they shrouded the hills in a burning mist. It was over in a few instants. By the time I thought to run and get my camera, the moment had past and a thin, but long, rainbow had appeared. Was that a sign of hope?

I need some hope right now. The job search feels like it is going no where and August is our drop dead month. Don't know what we'll do when the money runs out.
