People in Seattle should take to using bumbershoots instead. I understand they're a great alternative to an umbrella and possesses the same functionality...
Recommend you avoid both umbrellas and bumbershoots manufactured by Sirius Cybernetics..

I used a loop when I was working in photography.
Features of vacationing in New York, are there?
Bill is working on a presentation about the economic history of Argentina. I've studied this.
W000t!
Yes, he did.
Tomorrow is your foot-doctor appointment?
I had a low blood sugar episode today, and Busdaddy was not a happy camper. I didn’t take the right things to eat this time, and found that my between meal snacks had no protein. What little of that I have is at home.
*sigh*
So. Enough of that for the duration. Tomorrow, I should be home by 1000 at the latest, with clean clothes in tow...YAY!!!
Next time, bring a dozen eggs and a package of shredded cheese or some peanut butter. (I know about blood-sugar crashes.)
I think I’m on the 7th wash load, but I may have multiplied in my head. It will be nice to sleep in my bed. My favorite thing is to have the windows open and hear all the “camp” noises, but sleep on a real mattress with a bathroom nearby.
James snores, and Vlad thrashes and flails. At one point last night, James was unzipping the tent, and I said, “What are you doing?” “Vlad’s not here - nobody’s on his mat!” but he was there, just off his mat against the back wall of the tent. Sally had the pup tent to herself and missed all this.
Boys have a tendency to bring excitement to what would otherwise be a merely stressful experience.
It could have been much worse. Frank or Kathleen could have been there. Having just two of my boys (10 and 8) was pretty low-stress. The other boys with our group were younger, so James got to act important, and Sally was the Boss of All Younger Children (formerly an Anoreth role).
New York, come for the scenery, stay for the terrible animal mauling!
Get your rabies vaccination.
Available from the rabies stand cart.
“Rabies vax, get your rabies vax here!”
I know people from Seattle don’t use umbrellas. A native told me that you can tell who are tourist because they carry umbrellas. She was upset with her sister I law who not being the northwest insisted on carring one making people think she was a tourist. I wonder if people in London do. I know they wear rain coats. I have a London Fog rain coat. Umbrella is an odd word. People used umbrellas in old movies based in London because it was also a gun or other weapon. Why don’t they call it a fog coat? Maybe that’s some call them trench coats. Well enough of this foolishness, back to solving all the worlds problems.
Just took away all the fun stuff..
If we’re a door to door salesman I would sell doors.

The UK has fog that can be felt, almost like a sentient creature.
Man eating fog, I’ve called it.
Ah, it is that time of year again.
The Fog Collective begins its yearly assault on the follies of mans endeavours...
The Umbrella had faded in populatity in recent years ,but is making a comeback.
A tourist from sunny climes is always easily detectied on a rainy day, due to the lack of a ‘Brolly’ or suitable Rain coat.
Another hot tip for all ...Americans in particular...Don’t wear White Coloured Trainers/Sneakers/Pumps, they make you stand out to the resident ‘amish’.
I am most comfortable in boots.
But that makes me stick out like a sore thumb for some reason.
The latest casualty list from the fog is being updated already?
In NYC, if there’s the slightest sprinkle, some idiot opens a golf umbrella that takes up over half of the sidewalk.
We really need a concealed carry law in this state.
