Wow! Today as I was driving home I saw a double rainbow (look under “Variations”)! Double! Oh well, the wikipedia article mentions even a quadruple one, so maybe the phenomenon is not that rare after all…

Last week as we were at the doctor, our daughter started crying already in the waiting room, and the whole visit was really traumatizing for her.
