font-family: Lora;\">Umbrellas exist to futilely protect ourselves from precipitation, mostly of the H2O variety.\u00a0 When did people become such pussies that they don\u2019t want to be out in the sun?\u00a0 I\u2019ve known pale freckled gingers who don\u2019t tan at all who would go about their business out in the daytime without the assistance of umbrellas, but nowadays, people seem to be afraid to leave their condos without umbrellas, regardless of the weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lora;\">Look, I know that there\u2019s not much difference between an umbrella and a parasol, but the fact of the matter is that most parasols aren\u2019t made of the same water-resistant materials that umbrellas are.\u00a0 People aren\u2019t walking around with parasols, they\u2019re walking around with umbrellas \u2013 in the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;
