It’s raining here again, as evidenced by the raindrops on my right shoe.
Umbrella: Marimekko. I bought this with the first Groupon I ever purchased. It was $25 for $100 worth of merchandise at a local store that sells absolutely nothing of practical value. I bought a few Marimekko umbrellas, two for myself, and one as as gift. I also bought some reusable produce bags, and a portable one-serving French press. Not really the best $25 I ever spent.
