Sun sense for adults

Your Lifebeat section today warns parents: " Childhood

    burns can kill years later ".   I guess it is just human

    nature to worship the gods that will kill you. How benign

    sunlight can feel on the human body. Unlike cigarette smoke,

    a little of it , IS good for you.

               I have noticed that little league ball players

    spend hours on a scorching afternoon exposed to the intense

    radiation of a merciless sun . No evidence of sun screen

    lotion on their arms or faces !    I guess their coaches

    are well-rounded idiots .

               On a blazing hot summer day, it makes me sick

    to see  grown ups emerge from those horrid tanning salons :

    30 Days for $30 !

              Isn't that hole in the ozone layer perilous enough ?

        Why do adults pay good money for  a prune face and a

    " Look Ma I've got hepatitis " complexion ?
