I believe Baz said it best…
I did something unusual today. Well, not unusual for me, but unusual for where I now live.
I went for a walk.
Starbucks was calling and we needed veggies for dinner. I figured that walking would be a breeze. Well except for the crazed Californian drivers that are under the impression that pedestrians are just moving targets. I am so comfortable with city drivers where I know that the top speed is limited by the traffic and next red light. I have no idea how to walk where cars are allowed to roam freely and reach speeds above 15 miles per hour.
Surviving the walk was not what I wanted to tell you. What I am here to tell you is that I am almost a redneck. I don’t mean in the figurative cultural way, I mean in the literal, I burned my neck way. I am from the Northeast where October is a season of scarves and gloves, not SPF 15. Heck, even in the summer I don’t use SPF anything. One of the few advantages to being a darkie is that I get to opt out of the SPF.
On my walk I could feel the sun, because it was like 80 degrees, burning my neck. I have the distinct line of my shirt across my neck. Guess I am going to have to take the imortal advice to always wear sunscreen.
