You'll no doubt laugh at this story, but yesterday I went as usual on my bike to the vegetable farmer a few miles away, around 4:30. It'd been a lovely day but some dark gray clouds were blowing up in the eastern sky. The sun was low in the west and lit up an immense rainbow that went in a full arc, touching the ground on both ends. It was full, vibrant and bright and, after going through a long field with it on my left I turned into it, driving my bicycle into the rainbow. Such a strange, lovely thing to drive into a rainbow. I thought to DH Lawrence of course, the bible of course, and even Jesse Jackson of all people. But I thought mostly of "Hopey" and his campaign symbol and couldn't help laughing and thinking how did David Plouffe do that! – Best, Keith
