Oh, and that bit about bicycling around in the noonday sun looking for my lost security badge ... while wearing a tank top for one of the first times in the season?
One of things going on here ... you know how I've been whining about how cold it's been here and where was my summer? Well, that's meant that I've been wearing long-sleeved shirts to work (and therefore, on my lunchtime ride) until just this week. Normally I'd transition gradually into tanning as the sleeves shortened and the sun brightened. This time, it all conspired to make me forget that I hadn't laid down a good foundation.
But also, normally I'm only out there for an hour. If I'd only been out for an hour, even with the pasty-white skin showing on my shoulders, I wouldn't have burned. I assure everyone that when I'm planning to be outdoors with exposed skin for an extended period of time, I apply the SPF 1,000,000 liberally.
