Umbralliant days

There are days when you get drowned without an umbrella. Somehow it's kind of out of use to use an umbrella - at least as far as i can judge from people on the streets. I remember my parents being also behind me to take an umbrella along when it was raining outside but nowadays even children run around in driving rain without any umbrella. At least it has been common to take an umbrella where i come from - even if it is another time...



At least, i tend to use umbrellas properly.
I don't mean to say that all things were generally better in former times. But when i come across people walking in a threesome using the whole of the pavement and you have to step down on the street to pass, i am actually longing for more sense in sidewalk-traffic.

My parents too! Never let me outside without an umbrella. Result? Now I CANNOT go outside without an umbrella. I can't stand the feeling of rain falling onto my "bare" head and never leave without an umbrella :-)

Mh, things have not been always better in the past, you know that! If you feel the urge to say that everything has been better in the past just ask yourself: "when do you prefer to go to the dentist? In earlier times or now?" :-)))

uhm, never!
please get me right: I'm not trying to say that everything has been better then, but what i sense now is just a lack of manners!
