That's where folks get cancer when they are in the sun 24/7, they have no clue when the solor radation is 1000 of times over normal. Which you can't see or feel. Though time is not in your favor the more you are outside.

WOW!!!...didn't know that...scary!!!

AMEN to that...
I wish I had been smarter in my youth, but then again, we always think we 'know it all' when we are young and foolish and think we know everything, and our parents know nothing...
My mom tried to warn me, because she was just starting to deal with skin cancer on her face...know what I told her, "Mom, by the time I'm old enough to get skin cancer or wrinkles, there will be a cure"...
I really wish I had listened to my mom then...who knew that only 10 yrs after I made that stupid remark, I would almost die from malignant melanoma...
That's why I am trying to be the 'mom' here, to tell you guys to be careful of the sun!!!
