Default RAINBOW? STEELHEAD?

What is resident rainbow in a anadronymous waterway then? A rainbow
that could go out to ocean but doesnt?




Actually, it's a steelhead that could go out to ocean but doesn't


Sounds like a country-mouse/city-mouse kinda thing.


One of the most instructive parables of all time. It cannot be an accident
that virtually all cultures have some sort of analog of it. And it cannot
but be disheartening that its persistence bespeaks the sad truth that the
lesson needs to be taught over and over and over.........

Or maybe that old
Gloria Steinham adage that "all men are potential rapists".


And she was right, all men ARE potential rapists......um, in
theory......well, if you apply the right theory......and definition.

All rainbows are potential steelhead.


Exactly.....well, in the same sense that all girls born in the United States
(and/or of parents who are United States citizens) are potential presidents.

I'd bet a shiny new nickel on the proposition that she's heard THAT one
before.
