That wil feature in one of those weird death TV programs. Person digging up road to find pot of gold gets run over. The rainbow will have gone and no one can explain why the person was trying to dig up a random bit of road

One of my earlier memories is being 4 years old after an evening rainstorm in the Summer. It was still light out and a giant rainbow appeared. we started running through the wet pavement trying to catch the end of the rainbow. To this day wet rain on hot asphalt is one of my favorite smells and this photo reminds me of it.

Can't be. Light won't refract properly to be visible as the color prism without atmospheric distance.

The road that leads To the rainbow bridge, where all our pets will travel. Some will fly and some will swim Some will prance and race. Some will wind their tails together, traveling along, Together. Follow the road, to the rainbow bridge, all our wonderful babies We will see you soon, one day, we know, and joyfully reunite But for now just know the way is clear, and you Will find your way… just follow the rainbow to the end of the road And be safe and loved, forever.

(continued, part 2) end scattered and reflected the colours on the water. It's one of the most unusual things I've ever experienced and the distance between myself and rainbow was about the same distance as in the photo accompanying the post.

no other info other than "one at bedtime for rest". guess they didn't have to indicate what the medicine was in composition which is kind of scary because this was during the time when many pharmacist compounded their own medicines.
