Note to self: If you're going to share an umbrella with a stranger at a bus stop, make sure he's not a viking who stands over a foot and a half taller than yourself. Otherwise, you're not really sharing the umbrella so much as you are sheltering Moondog while all the rain continues to pelt you in the face.

Obviously, what we need at every bus stop is a life-size Totoro statue holding an umbrella -- just in case, for these rainy days, and just in case for those other days when trudging to the bus stop seems like such a drag.
