So I have been busy these past cou­ple of days. I don’t even think I got out that much dur­ing the week­end, other than to play soft­ball on Sat­ur­day noon. Besides that, it was pretty much spend­ing day­light in my room and being deviant with some projects both for work and for free­lance. Any­ways, I just want to share some­thing with you all… I lost some­thing spe­cial to me. Some­thing that has kept me dry at times, as well as kept me safe when I have to walk late at night—my umbrella, Timba.

I got her dur­ing Tim­ber­land’s 40%-off Friend & Fam­ily Sale this past year. She was great. She did her job well. It was just unfor­tu­nate to have lost her due to strong 18mph winds blow­ing south-southwest early tonight.

Any­ways, I just had to do an “obit­u­ary” per­say and share it with the great peo­ple over at Tim­ber­land. Here’s my solemn note:

RE: Mini Vented Arc Umbrella

To whom it may concern,

“This umbrella fea­tures a clas­sic, vented arc design that can hold its own (and hold its shape) even in strong winds.”

I really love the com­pact­ness and built, but the winds tonight over at SF tested its build,

I got the umbrella through your Fall Friends and Fam­ily sale. I was won­der­ing when you guys are gonna have another one so I can get a hold of a new one. This sucks. Please help. I look for­ward to your reply.
