compared to Larry or Dave, I look like I have been dipped in white paint and then rolled in flour.
If you're that pale, I must be transparent! I have always been paper white! I would love to have the capacity to acquire an even, light tan. I am as brown at the moment as I can remember ever being due to taking advantage of the good patches of uk weather in the garden mostly. This means I can now detect a difference in shade between the upper surface of my forearms and the other side. The under surface, less exposed to the sun is white, the upper surface where the sun has been most is slightly cream!!! However, my back is slightly tanned and due to obsessive barefooting & wearing minimal sandals my feet are a little tanned too compared with my lower legs which seem to be as refractory as a pottery kiln lining!
I was extremely envious of one chap at AHG who was incredibly evenly tanned. Not even a slight shading to pale between his buttocks and his tan was so even. Looked like it had been sprayed on....oh...Ah! well, yes, maybe!
Maybe my new environment will give me additional sunbathing opportunity next year? I fully expect it to.

Yea, I had the thought that if anyone had seen you on that golf course in Scottsdale, that they might think that they had seen a ghost wandering. Next year, things WILL be different.
From what I experience, it amazes me when occasionally, I see just how white and pink people can be without sun. Tourists come here to get a tan in the wintertime. Like seeing grass growing on the side of the road, or a tall deciduous tree, one forgets.
By the way, you all, I had no idea that the garden had that natural look to it. I pictured it as much more manicured. AND there are no rattlesnakes hiding under the brush!
