Everyone knows about the dangers of the sun and everyone knows that we should all be wearing sunscreen. However, some of us, myself included, do not heed this advice. I buy it every year and if I'm lying on a beach all day, I'll usually apply...once. But any other time I'm in the sun, I don't wear anything. My excuses are the same as everyone else's: it takes too long, it's inconvenient and I want a tan. I wish there was a pill we could take to give us the sunscreen effects. Although, I have a really hard time taking my vitamins every day, so I might not be successful with that either.
I was reading the Globe the other day and this photo stopped me in my tracks. Well, not exactly the picture, but once I read the accompanying article, then I really took a second look.
This is an un-doctored picture of a man who was a long-haul truck driver for his entire life. As a result, he spent countless hours with the left side of his face exposed to the sun through the driver window. Look at that! I can't get over it.
And before you think you're the first person to make the joke, someone has already suggested to move to the UK to balance everything out.
