Rainy days

Vancouver is an umbrella kind of city. It rains, the sidewalks are a sea of umbrellas. It’s cloudy, umrellas are stashed in purses or in hand. It snows, the sidewalks are a sea of umbrellas. Wait, what? Snow? I grew up with snow – one does not use an umbrella for snow. Unless one is in Vancouver. In a city where umbrellas are so prevalent, it would be reasonable to expect that the sidewalks would be easily navigated. Wrong. Major offenders include the golf umbrella wielders, those who can’t pass another umbrella, walking under covered walkways with an umbrella…oh the irritations!
