An image of an umbrella on a city street with these words: Your guide to umbrella etiquette Carrying an umbrella shouldn't be complicated. Follow this guide to handle rainy days like an expert.

An image of people walking with umbrellas in the rain and these words: | Size does matter. | The patio umbrella belongs in the patio. | Limit your umbrella size so it will fit in your bag and on a crowded street.

An image of someone walking into the wind with an umbrella on a rainy day, and these words: | Work with the wind. | Angle the top of your umbrella towards the wind. | This trick will also fix your umbrella if it flips inside out. | (Don't worry -- it happens to everyone.)

An image of people on a bus with these words: | No fuss on the bus | Before entering a bus shake your umbrella thoroughly. | Carry it close to you and don't put it on a seat; put it in a bag or set it on the floor.

Rain is expected this week. Bring your umbrella, and remember: Limit your umbrella size to fit in your bag and on a crowded street. Angle the top of the umbrella towards the wind. Before boarding the bus, shake and close your umbrella. Don't put it on a bus seat.

Our Rose Bowl shuttle is waiting for you. Get on board at www.foothilltransit.org/rosebowl.

Here are some local events where you can experience the bright colors of papel picado and calaveras, the sound of mariachi music, the aroma of marigolds, and the sweet taste of champurrado. www.foothilltransit.org/articles/day...

We're shaking out with the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill at 10:16AM on 10/16.

During the drill, turn away from the windows towards the aisles, and put your arms over your head for protection. This is what would happen in a real earthquake.
