It rains here. It's been raining most of the day, in fact. A small, easy-to-carry, umbrella will keep you perfectly dry, but that's no good if you need your hands to, say, root through, recycling bins, or dumpsters, in search of discarded valuables. If you're a binner, with no umbrella, and no
coated nylon rain jacket, there's no problem; a large garbage bag, like the one modelled by the binner on the right, is easy to find in a pinch, and works ridiculously well. What about your running shoes, you ask? Put small plastic bags over your sock-clad feet, and put your runners back on; the runners will get wet, but your feet, and socks, will stay nice and dry.
