Maybe you're right, Linda! I don't recall it raining that day, despite the rainbow. But still, could be. I was thinking more like a dirty filter, but, as they say, when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.

I lived in Phoenix for a good while, and when there, I learned the name for rain that doesn't reach the ground: Virga.
