dear fellow san franciscans: why do we even bother with the umbrellas? the rain comes at us slanted, sideways and upside down. the gale-force winds invert them at every intersection. building ledges wait until we are beneath them to release a random deluge of excess water, and muni buses hurl tsunamis at us when we cross the street. after today, the sidewalks will be strewn with dead umbrellas, like broken birds.

Yes, umbrellas are always useless downtown! Each intersection you cross the wind blows from a different direction. We buy them so walgreens can sell crappy umbrellas at a premium on rainy days :D
That is some beautiful writing, Emily, to describe this stupid, stupid weather.
