Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 20, 2009

On a clear umbrella–you can see the day.

They’ve been around since the late 70’s.

Those were the days, when the umbrella stitching didn’t start to unravel after the third downpour.

I wish I still had mine!! Does anyone know if you can still buy these, and where? I think a lot of non-Pluggers would buy them. Maybe even Crunkbot!

We just bought one from Amazon for a Halloween costume. My daughter hung streamers and bubble wrap and stuff from it and was a jellyfish. Today, she’s out with it (ornaments removed) in the rain. Can you be a plugger at 14?

I just need enough of a brim on my hat to keep my glasses dry.

But don’t they fog up? Like a windshield in a car?

(Not the glasses, hossblacksilver, the umbrella.)

Nah, they only fog up on really warm rainy days. This time of year, no fog.

(No, I didn’t have one. One of the girls I liked in grade school did.)

The powers that make umbrellas will see this! I hope someone tagged it “umbrella” because my tags don’t work.
