April showers might bring May flowers, but that doesn't make the raindrops any more fun to navigate when you're commuting to work and have lost your umbrella. The nice folks at Ikea are helping out with a free umbrella at at the corner of Bay Street and Shellmound Avenue (in front of the Bay Street Shopping Center) on Friday, March 29. Follow @IKEA_Emeryville and @IKEA_EPA for more details including time. It's part of their "Random Acts of Life Improvement" program. Might as well pick up an Expedit or two while you're there.
