My neighbour's sprinkler makes a perfect little rainbow at 7:40 every evening and I've started scheduling around it

Right angle, right sun, lasts about four minutes. The dog and I now take our walk at rainbow o'clock.

it drifts a couple minutes later each week as the sun angle shifts, so it's a unit that slowly runs away. seasonal daylight tax

the dog has no idea the walk is scheduled around atmospheric optics, and that somehow makes it better
