Compromise

Light rain fell this morning as I walked to work. It was too light to justify an umbrella, but heavy enough to make me damp. I mean it was a very light rain. I would look a fool with an umbrella; I would be cracking a nut with a steam-hammer. And yet it was not so light as to be non-dampening; it was a fly I could not ignore. So I compromised: I used my umbrella half way, and went bare-headed the other half.

    I would have compromised by not going to work until the weather became more committed.

    It’s refreshing to hear someone in Vancouver actually thinking about the practicality of their umbrella. The next massive-golf-umbrella-toting businessman I run into on Burrard is getting pushed in front of the 98 B-Line.
