Somewhere Over Downtown Santa Maria

Things were getting me down. My get and and go was long gone. And the fact that I was in the only part of California where it was raining this weekend didn't help. So, when the skies partially cleared, I took myself out for a drive. And after having acquired some Comfort Food from the In & Out Burger in Santa Maria, I turned around to go back. It was a little more than an hour before sundown, and this appeared in the Eastern sky:

That's right. A big honkin' rainbow. I haven't seen many rainbows in my life and this was the single biggest I've ever seen.

After stopping to take a couple pictures, I turned and saw... the other end of the rainbow!

And yep, that's a double. A full arc (although faded away in the middle; that's why I didn't notice the other end right away) with a double at the north end. Cool.

Because of my lack of experience, rainbow-wise, I'm not used to thinking of them as positive omens. But that required very little interpretation to be a good sign.
