I rarely carry an umbrella, because I usually dash quick enough to be able to dodge the raindrops. Totally cracks me up on a rainy day like today how the people with umbrellas still huddle under the awnings of the stores, sometimes to the point of pushing people without umbrellas (like me!) out into the rain. This happened to me in a really bad way last week when I was at the bus shelter waiting to go home. I counted 4 people with umbrellas huddled under the eaves of the shelter. I was just about to say something when their bus came and I had room to stand under the shelter again.
