Good news...I got a new umbrella, at a Chinese Store (which is like the dollar tree only more stuff and it´s not a dollar). My other one was a wimpy dollar tree POS that kept blowing inside out and was already ripped...but this new, communist-made one is bright pink, huge, strong, and totally ready to take on the next old lady that gets in my personal space with her own umbrella. Get ready, viejas! It's UMBRELLA WAR time! And this time I am armed for battle.
