The only thing I don't like about the smaller umbrellas is they aren't as sturdy and usually flip inside out...especially with all of the lovely wind we have here! :-)Christinahttp://xbergdorfblondex.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042646414301340390.post-30408439664893350202009-10-26T19:10:27.143-05:002009-10-26T19:10:27.143-05:00not to mention where the heck would you store that...not to mention where the heck would you store that thing?! it would need it's own garage!A Real Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528883447914184058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042646414301340390.post-39879475676170108962009-10-23T19:20:26.796-05:002009-10-23T19:20:26.796-05:00Paul!

In any event, it's large enough to be annoying at times, but I sure am happy when I get to the office and I'm not soaked. Thing is, I always make sure to not be obnoxious about it. I'm tall so I always raise mine above others on the street.<br /><br />Worse than large umbrellas are people who don't look where they're going with their umbrella. I've been poked in the face several times, even had people realize and gotten nothing but dirty looks.
