And at the end of the rainbow....?

Contrary to all those stories and legends we grew up with there is NOT a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Kurtis and I have proof!

Yesterday (Tuesday) at 4:30PM we both noticed a brilliant rainbow on the ceiling of the bookstore. Since we are booklovers (and thereby curious) we began our investigation.

Conditions of the day:

1. It had been grey and dark all day long.
2. In the store the sources of light come from compact fluorescent bulbs.
3. By 4:30 PM the sun never reaches our building at this time of the year.

(We scratched our own heads respectively.)

Possibilities:
A. The Klutz spinner with all kinds of trinkets and sparkles (don't forget that Tiara Kit!) But no, not the source.
B. A car parked nearby that had a crystal hanging from it's rearview mirror. No such car.
C. Some crystal mounted on the glass somewhere. We don't have such gems in our shop.
D. That's when I realized what it must be.

And Michael Kindness is the most clever of our readers (it helps to have young children)!!

A small beam of light was bouncing off a building across the street from us, high enough to catch the last light of the day and reflecting that light onto the cover the Guinness World Records 2010. The covers usually have some kind of 3D cover that makes me dizzy to look at. And now we know that Guinness (don't they have some connection to leprechauns, after all?!) is what you'll find at the end of a rainbow.

I'll take a pint, please! Uh, Mr. Leprechaun! Over here! Where's my prize? And one for my friend Michael over there! Thanks.
