Today, we took a road trip to work with Fox’s trainer. (She’s helping us with the fear issues I mentioned last week.)
As we were waiting for the trainer to bring out the dog we’d be using to work with Fox, Ed and I had this conversation:
Me: Is the sun hitting me? I’m afraid I’ll burn.
Ed: No, the sun isn’t hitting you, but do you want some sunscreen? We have some in the car.
Me: No, I’ll just sit with my back to the sun. I’ll be o.k.
And if I’d had nothing to do all morning but sit with my back to the sun, that would have been true. Clearly, however, this wasn’t the case.
How many times will I get a completely preventable sunburn before I finally learn? Wait, don’t answer that.
Stumble It!

I’m thinking you’ll get 3 bloggable sunburns. Sooooo, by my count, you’re all done.
Hope the training went well though :)
Sunscreen is good - but just remember - SOME exposure to the Sun just might save your life. Being in the Sun allows your body to manufacture Vitamin D. I’m not going to go into all the good things Vitamin D does for you (you can, after all, google that just as easily as I can) but trust me when I tell you - IT DOES GOOD STUFF FOR YOU.
On the other hand, there are apparently two people I know of who should never be allowed in the sun for lengthy periods of time - you and Larry Bird. Both of you are ‘clear’.
