I burn.
September 22, 2008
Yesterday while meandering through the products of people’s passion and labor at the St. Peter car show, I got a sunburn.
Just to ensure we are all on the same page here… it was September 21st yesterday. School is in session, crab apples are threatening to drop, we are watching tomato plants die off and wondering how many of those green ones will ripen before frost hits. Leaves are changing all down the river valley into bright reds, oranges and that really odd mustardy yellow color.
And I have a hot, red, itchy, uncomfrotable sunburn all around my neck and down both arms.
How amazingly pale do I have to be to not have enough of a base of a tan to avoid a September sunburn?
I know I burn easily… but I had no idea I was THAT ill conditioned for outdoor activities.
Geesh. I need to get outside more.
