My day in the sun

So it turns out that roll-on sunscreen has its advantages and disadvantages...

.

Also, it's hard to take a picture of your own knee.

On the bright side, my yearly Father's Day gift of baseball tickets to my dad this year was actually used on Father's Day.  The home team lost, but it was still a good game; the stadium was awesome (the new Nationals park in DC); and my parents and I all had a great time.

Our sun is a lot stronger than yours - hole in the ozone layer and all that jazz. You can literally feel it burning you at times.

I hadn't realized it actually makes that much of a difference. Yikes!

Um...world's highest rates of skin cancer...

I think that sorta sums it up.

I'm pretty fair skinned, though, and I do burn easily. A day in the Aussie sun with striped sunscreen will mean for me several days of extreme pain - even blistering - followed sometime later by large amounts of peeling skin. I've been known to slough it off like a lizard, lol.
