~Yesterday evening, while I was at work, there was a sudden intense storm that lasted for about half an hour. When it was over, a break in the clouds let some sunlight through, and a beautiful rainbow appeared on the horizon.
I ducked my head into the nearby computer lab, a windowless room where around a dozen students were variously typing, talking, and looking at Facebook. "If anyone's interested," I said, pointing out the door, "there's a rainbow outside." Some of the students glanced up, looking at me blankly. I returned to my desk and enjoyed watching the rainbow through a window. After a couple of minutes, the clouds closed, and the rainbow disappeared.
None of the students bothered to look.
