I buy cheap umbrellas because I tend to lose them, usually forgetting after a meeting or a lengthy dinner. $20 is the most I'd pay for a umbrella, but I can often find them for between $10-12 at a variety of different value shops. I like umbrellas better than rain jackets for urban life because unless I'm willing to spend a large amount of money to get one that actually keeps the rain off. I've got an old army surplus raincoat for camping but it doesn't breathe well. Not good for the city.
Don't know why I started with a discussion of umbrellas and raincoats. It was raining pretty bad today, but I manage to move from place to place between the storms. Still, I bought a new mauve umbrella. Seemed like a necessary purchase.
First day of school.
Ok, back to work.
