                    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!
