I Must Go to Bed

Posted on December 1, 2007 in Weather

Earlier tonight a cloud, dripping with rain, settled on the street and kept dropping its substance through a thick fog. On Sunday, we’d seen an exhibit of gems at the Bowers Museum. Most memorable was a piece of quartz — the world’s largest cut gemstone. When you shone a light through this rain cloud, you got fine flecks and thick gold scratches of rain. That was how this quartz crystal was and how the rain cloud was.
