"You can't hike through the woods with an umbrella," S. told me, as we got out of the car.

"I don't have a hood on my raincoat," I said, "I need the umbrella."

"No real [Gone Wester] would use an umbrella on a hike," she said.

"You told me I can't be a real [Gone Wester] for at least 20 years. I have 17 more years to use an umbrella," I said, and resolutely started off through the woods with a big blue umbrella over my head.
