Another Currency

I figure umbrellas are a lot like money.

They're always around when I don't particularly need them urgently, but there's never one in my bag when I need one desperately.

I always seem to have a plastic bag that could safely contain a small, wet umbrella but is never large enough to cover my head with. Just like how I always seem to brandish my ATM card to pay & get rebuked with a scornful "Cash only. No NETs.". The plastic just doesn't seem to work as well as the real thing.

I definitely need to save one/some for a rainy day.
