Double Take

I'm riding my bike down the street in the rain.

I pass a KFC. A woman is standing outside yelling at a man in a cream-colored suit.

Turning the corner, I almost run over a small child and blind her mother with my umbrella.

I readjust my rain parasol to try to provide maximum coverage of my legs while keeping my backpack less than soaked. I give up on dry knees.

My mind wanders back to the Kentucky Fried Chicken scene I had just witnessed.

The woman was standing outside shouting into her cellphone while staring exasperatedly at a full size plastic statue of the Colonel.

I should have known. Who else besides the Colonel wears a cream colored suit?
