Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day

I was planning on making another entry today, but tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day or is that Saint Padrick's day. Because I am Irish or at least part Irish, I decided to write about that. I've never visited Ireland. Perhaps it is just as well because my illusions of the country remain in tact. If I visited the land of my ancestors then my illusions would be shattered.

Since my Illusions are intact I can think of Ireland as a green island where a Leprechaun hides behind every bush with his pot of gold just waiting for an unsuspecting tourist to pass. All right, let's face it I'm not sure whether I believe in Leprechauns or not. At least, I'm not sure whether they exist on this planet, I will accept the fact that they live somewhere in this wide universe. I will also accept the fact that, no matter what planet they live on, the collect gold coins for some reason or other.

All though, I suspect that if rainbows and pots of gold are so common on their planet that ever Leprechaun has both a pot of gold and a rainbow. The two items must not be worth very much on their planet. For a material object, such as gold coins, to be worth something, they have to be rare. Rainbows probably aren't as sacred on a planet where they are common phenomena. Here on Earth rainbows are rare enough to be considered sacred and to have a pot of gold at the end.
