A BIG COVER UP!
I won't keep you in the shade on this. It's
"National Umbrella Day." It feels just a little
strange. It's snowing here as I write this and I
don't see anyone walking around with an
umbrella even though snow is, basically, just
frozen rain. Anyway, umbrellas are thought to
be one of the most important inventions of all
time. They keep us dry during rainstorms, or
other forms of precipitation, and safe from
the strong rays of the sun when it's all bright
outside. So treasure your umbrella. But remember,
don't open it in the house! That superstition stems
from the Egyptians. (I didn't even realize that had
umbrellas!) They believed opening an umbrella
inside was an insult to the sun god who would then
rain ban fortune upon your household! So keep it
closed till you're outside....just in case! Hope
you're well and that all your NEWS is good!
