The sun! It burns!

[thistlechaser]

Literally. Darned California sun. Darned being white as a ghost. It takes me ten minutes to drive to work. Ten. And in that time my arm gets burned bright red, sunburned to the point of it hurting. In ten minutes. This is not just an early summer thing, it happens to me spring-to-fall.

Note to self: Take the sunblock off desk, put in car.

Ow ow, my poor arm.

And related(?). The end of the world has been rescheduled. Harold Camping now says end is coming October 21st. I really hope he gets no news coverage this time...

Ah, we're the opposite of you. Most years we get rain only in three months (our winter), the rest of the year it's nonstop cloudless, bright sunshine. It's brutal. I can and do get sunburns in less than ten minutes. (This year is wacky and we're getting rain way outside of the winter season -- we're supposedly getting some tonight!)

this is the kind of sunblock I just bought (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009R14XG), which might work for you as well. It's tiny, I can almost hide it in a closed fist. You could tuck it into a purse or something, then have it on hand when you need it!

I might suggest one of these. (http://www.dustycouture.com/dustybacon/Post_Images/2010_Winter_Spring/FirePerformSafety/Fire-proof_and_Heat_Insulation_Suit.jpg) Complete sun protection and shoot those pesky sun rays back at the sun! That'll teach it.

HA! A tad challenging to drive in, but otherwise I approve!
