Re no umbrellas, I rarely carried one when I lived in Seattle--it would meant going around one-armed for 200 days a year. A rain jacket sufficed. When I moved to Richmond (VA), I silently sneered at the way Richmonders whipped out an umbrella whenever it so much as drizzled. Well the first time I wore a rain jacket in 85-degree heat, I got the point of an umbrella really quickly: It was like I was wearing a steam bath. Eleven years later, I keep an umbrella handy at all times. I’m still reluctant to use it in a light rain, though.

Agreed! After moving from Richmond VA down to Georgia, the personal sauna of a rain jacket has been only reserved for winter!

Nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems is it?

Truer words never spoken! Also, I learned that I’ll never be too old to get taken down a peg--probably a good thing.
