										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>We need to talk about umbrellas.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h4>
<p>As if the early darkness wasn&#8217;t depressing enough, it also rains regularly in the last few weeks of autumn. I&#8217;m traumatized by seasons and rain anyway, it was in fifth grade when my teacher asked me what time of year it rains the most. I said winter because I associated it with bad weather.</p>

<p>“Wrong,” he said!</p>
<div id="attachment_13187" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13187" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-13187" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/istockphoto-691761614-170667a-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/istockphoto-691761614-170667a-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/istockphoto-691761614-170667a-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/istockphoto-691761614-170667a.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13187" class="wp-caption-text">Splashing water on an umbrella in the rain As soon as it dribbles, we grab the little Knirps. If we haven&#8217;t lost him already. And that brings us to the problem I want to talk about: Umbrellas always get left somewhere!</p></div>
<p>At a restaurant, on the train, in the shop, or with friends. The other day I visited my mother-in-law, and I observed that she must have had at least 5-6 umbrellas on the stand by her front door.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I have never seen my mother-in-law with an umbrella before, she seldom goes anywhere, especially not when it’s raining. These umbrellas must be all left behind by family members.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t notice the loss until the next time it rains.</p>
<p>Double bad luck, messed up hair, a wet jacket, and a bad mood.</p>
<p>I have never lost an article of daily use as often as the umbrella.</p>
<h5>Do you feel the same way?</h5>

<p>A colleague of mine thinks he has found the solution, buy an absurdly expensive umbrella. It should cost about three times what an umbrella should cost.</p>
<p>He says they&#8217;ll never forget it again.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth a try, next summer will come!</p>
<p><strong>Below is a link if you would like to purchase an expensive Umbrella! </strong></p>
