Matter of Fact I have 10 new umbrellas that no one has ever seen before I am in Asia developing the Bright Night Line. Cheers Sean. P.S. it is bad luck to open umbrella inside because many years ago when the first Automatic open umbrella was invented people would push the button to open it and knock things over and break them inside the house. There you have the bad luck, the 7 years bad luck I believe is a mirror.

As long as this baby is already wired, why not add in a discreet antenna and some consumer electronics ... and pretty soon hey presto, you could have a wide-area cellphone jammer! This could be a lot of fun. Every transmitter benefits from a larger antenna.

We had seen the 90s by this time last year, so the high 60s/low 70s of this spring are a welcome change. Judie :0) isobutane,

Every morning I get up and check the NEXRAD radar on <a href="www.rap.ucar.edu">www.rap.ucar.edu</a> and there is Texas, getting hammered by another round of thunderstorms. A few days ago, there was a nasty line that came through from eastern New Mexico, three big supercells, one sporting a very distinct hook echo! I guess it's supercell and tornado season now for you guys. For the last few days, it's all thunderstorms, all the time. I hope that umbrella can withstand heavy winds from the outflow of such storms!!!! Straight-line winds and downdrafts can turn an umbrella into so much scrap pretty fast.
