I’m back.
My self-imposed hiatus was going to last for another week or so, but the urge to blog could not be denied. Before I post my latest project, I want to get serious for a moment. I was reading Jeff Kay's hilarious rant about bicycles helmets today, and it got me thinking:
What’s the deal with guys carrying umbrellas?
It rained in Charleston today and everywhere I looked men were carrying umbrellas. The were from all walks of life; suits, business casual, hell some guys were dressed for cutting grass or going to the gym, and they were all holding umbrellas. Did I miss something? I always equated using an umbrella to carrying a purse. If it’s raining outside, I grab a hat. Am I in the minority here?

Welcome back, Jackie.
I rarely carry an umbrella...not sure if it's a manly thing, or the fact that I grew up on a farm in central WV and gettin' wet and dirty was part of the gig.
A gaggle of of men with umbrellas walking on the street sure makes the street crowded!
Umbrellas can be cool to have. I want to start collecting as many as possible.
Thanks Film Geek- Your Superman post helped pull me back into the fold...
Holywriter- Good luck finding any. From the looks of it they're a pretty hot commodity in the 304.
Awsome fish jackie. Did you catch them in the kanawha?
I caught something down by the river too back in the day.. Luckily they were able to freeze them off at the free clinic!
Bionic Bigfoot = I picture a guy in his mid-forties with a rumpled suit, smelling like last nights (or this mornings) gin, trying to sell me and anyone within earshot aluminum siding. Am I right or what?!?
Well now that you mention it... aren’t you in the market for some sort of out building? Tough shed is the brand that I think holds up the best, but for your needs I think the aluminum king is a sure fit!
I admit it: I use an umbrella. But I only use it until a gust of wind breaks it.
Its not that Jackie is against umbrellas.. I just think its phallic quality makes him a bit uncomfortable.
Hey BB- That's possible. I also eat my hot dogs from the middle if that means anything. Now get back to work, those pizzas aint going to deliver themselves.
