Yesterday,
I lost the second umbrella in three months.
This has taken quite a toll on me.
Those umbrellas are not your usual run of the mill umbrellas.
They are sturdy, rigid, and eponymous. Being an umbrella, that is.
Quite such self-defense tools, there umbrellas are. And I lost one in arguably a self-defence situation yesterday.
Well, if you can call helping a small mob capture a petty pickpocket a self-defence situation, as in tripping the pickpocket (he did a nice zenpo mae ukemi, though failing miserably at the rollout) as a defence for whom pocket was picked. Whatever.
Yet, I find that I need to reassert my position on self-defence.
I can't stop thinking the the pickpocket needed self-defence in a grander scheme of things more, compared to my petty needs.
Keep safe.
Meanwhile, I'm in the market for a new umbrella. One that has to prove to be somewhat longer lasting than the last two.
