Man I'm a freak about the sun, good glasses, big hat, long sleeves when I can bear it and lots of spf's. I don't understand folks who don't wear glasses. I guess its an ol' timer thing?

I'm not a spring chicken by any means....but I'm not sure its an "ol' timer thing" as much as it is a "we who live in the south have been fried by the sunenough *that we have figured out that only a fool wears no protection against the sun".... *I don't use an spf of less than 46+, wear the long sleeves, and wear a hat, along with my shades...that are polarized...and I tend to stay in the shade as well.

I got a really bad burn when I was stationed at the ATC school there at Keesler in 68' on Easter weekend.... I was Army...and it was no fun wearing starched fatigues and wearing jump boots to school when you are fried and blistered. *Haven't repeated that mistake again....
