My fear, however, is that these umbrellas are going to end up like all of mine: they're never where I need them. Even a well-meaning citizen is going to take one home and then never ever remember to return it.colleensubwayknitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-7116826413051131052007-11-07T21:33:00.000-05:002007-11-07T21:33:00.000-05:00Umbrellas on the street for less than $5?
