last, but not least




Remember when we moved out here, I blogged a photo of a rainbow right above our old place on Shafter right before we moved? Well, here's a rainbow in our new backyard. Hopefully a good omen.

So, I have a funny story about rainbows. About a year and a half ago, I was riding BART home during rushhour and saw the most brilliant rainbow out the window over the East Bay hills.

It was standing room only on that BART train. Everyone was totally absorbed in their reading material and/or iPods. But this rainbow was too great not to share, so I said to a silent, but crowded BART train, "Hey everyone! Look out the window! There is the most amazing rainbow!"

I have never been received as such a freak. The woman next to me inched closer to the window, the man across from me held his magazine over his face. Only one person, a diminutive gay man (ostensably out of pity), said "Miss, thank you for sharing your rainbow with me."

So, here, I share my rainbow with you. No judgment.

And since you've asked, here are my favorite things in Chicago, and what I miss about the Bay Area:
