rain then and now

I parked the car at school. As I got ready it started to rain.

I had a memory flash. The rain hitting the car sounded exactly the same. I was very young, back east, waiting in the car as it rained.

It made no difference, the rain hitting a American built car in the 50’s or 60”s or the rain hitting the Japanese car built in 2008.

I got out and saw the rainbow. The same as many rainbows, 50’s, 60’s or 2008.
