Umbrellas

Today when I went to class, I brought my umbrella with me because the forecast for the day predicted rain.  It didn't rain while I was in class, but once I left, it was like a hurricane outside.  The wind was bad, but the rain was even worse.  I took out my umbrella when I saw how bad it was outside, but it did no good.  The umbrella was slipping out of my hands, going inside out, and worst of all, it got me drenched.  My umbrella got pretty wrecked in the fifteen minutes it took me to walk to my place, but that's why I'm not angry.  I'm angry because umbrellas suck.  They're never big enough (unless you're my friend Phu with one the size of a flying saucer), and they never keep me dry or warm.  You'd think that after the X amount of years since it was invented, it would be improved by now, but it's clear it hasn't been.  How is it that we live in a world where we can talk to people without calling them or have IPhones, yet was cannot even make a better umbrella?  It befuddles me to the point of frustration, but I know umbrellas will never change.  They've been like this for decades and will continue to be.  But who knows, maybe they'll make an app for it in a few years.
