You can tell a lot about a person if they've bought an umbrella, or not.

Also if they have bought umbrellas, how many?

@BillyBones 😂 I’m definitely child-like. I have that child-like enthusiasm! I even jump in puddles 🤣 ❤️

New Englanders do not believe in umbrellas.

True story.

🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😏

Funny, I don't own an umbrella or an umbrella stand. But my grandma had an umbrella stand by the front door with multiple umbrellas to choose from
.I always thought that was so cool!

Neither do Portlanders. We get sideways rain here so umbrellas are useless when this happens! Our family doesn't buy coats without hoods--much better protection in the rain.

Btw: Columbia Sportwear has its world headquarters here in a suburb of Portland OR. For good reason! 🌧💧🌦🌫

I have never met such obliviousness and stubbornness since moving to SE VT as a "native New Englander."

"Oh, it's raining? Nevermind that, I'll just smoke my cig/do my vape out here in the rain. I mean, it's just rain...right?"

When we were on our Italy cruise 3 of our shore excursion days were rainy. I was surprised how many people wimped out of paid tours due to the precipitation!
Fortunately we had free access to the laundry facilities onboard to dry our wet clothes. Lots of folks were using them after returning to the ship after their excursions.

Agreed…. You can learn a lot about people from the umbrella stands they have or don’t have. 😎
