    You're going to need more than an umbrella. Nicely done!

    Oh, wow....this is too much like reading Revelations - something from which I abstain as often as possible. It's all quite frightening, is it not - and all too recently, more prophetic in its reasoning?

    Need more than an umbrella...maybe a ticket out?

  • I'm too dumb to understand this 😅😅

    Apocalyptic humor? Brilliant, Gerard! Although the umbrella may be tad unproductive when the sky falls!

    Yeah, I agree with Dana.
