A Rainbow Guides Me to Topeka
<---- 52 ---->

I'm headed for Topeka to spend the night. Then I'll drive into St. Louis and meet with my primary web-development vendor, Divine Inc. The weather was cooperating, but I finally ran into a rainstorm. Time to test the wipers. Uh-Oh, they are really herking and jerking. Let's try it on "high"--OK now it's better. Hmmmmmmmmm. Have to fix that when I get back.

To the left: You might be able to see the rainbow to the left. The skies are clearing. Things are going my way. I'll just follow that rainbow all the way to Topeka.
