I watched a television commercial for a sunscreen that claims to be 100spf and I thought I would try it. After all, it had been ages since I had been out in the sunlight. But alas, I am toasted. After following the instructions on the container, I ventured outside...in the daylight. I will say that it was the longest I have been able to stay in direct sunlight without the aide of a large brim hat, long sleeve blouse, long slacks, covered shoes, very dark sunglasses and an umbrella. I lasted 5 minutes before my flesh started burning and another 4 minutes until I could smell skin roasting. Burning flesh is NOT a good scent. Perhaps it might work on cloudy days, but full sun is out of the question. This burning will take awhile to heal.
I guess the question is.....Why put myself in such danger? Good question, thank you for asking!
My response.... this human thing pisses me off. I know coming through gives us gifts that most minds wouldn't be able to comprehend, but I still feel the need to push the laws of nature... or maybe it's a self destructive tendency. Or more than likely it has to do with all of the concessions my mind has had to accept. Bacon, anybody?
