Default New type of cloud discovered

I have discovered a new type of soaring cloud. I was not able to take a picture of it for official submittal, but I am sure you have all likely seen them before. I believe it is called a "Retirement Cu". Why? Well, it is big, mature, and it is what we all strive for. Looks like the lift you have been dreaming of getting. But when you get there, you find that it is barely drawing in enough to survive.

Yeah, I know that cloud. It has never been as big as I wanted it to be, it's not so far off in the distance anymore, I'm not even sure it will be there when I get there, and when I do I hope it will somehow be big enough "make it rain".
