It was 7:45 PM. The entire day had been full of torrential rainfall and potholes converted into puddles. However, sunset comes late now that we’re nearing the summer solstice and Helios decided to give us a little visit before he rested for the night. So now, at quarter of eight, as I walk into Higher Ground in South Burlington, VT, I can see a faint rainbow. Any symbolism in that? You tell me.

This is probably the tenth time I’ve begun this today. As much as I would like to maintain a modicum of journalistic integrity, the fog in my glasses and the tears on my keyboard prevents me from doing so.
