YOU WANT TO LIKE A ROOT BEER POPSICLE?

       I helped a lady out the other day at the Burg Grocery who in the summer must live outdoors as her tan is as dark as a "root beer popsicle!" It seems that was a time when we almost worshiped people that developed a rich tan. I'm not sure that is the case any more. 

        In light of the enormous increase of skin cancer due to the sun and in some cases tanning booths, it doesn't seem that these dark tans are that "cool" as they once were. Besides, it has always seemed that seeing a senior "snow bunny" coming back from their winter hang-outs with their tans and many many deep lines in their faces wasn't that neat! 

       I have also said many times that my Grandma Smith had the skin of Snow White and she lived to her mid 90's. I doubt if the sun ever touched her skin. Some of her secret was in the genes plus just never going outside all that much! If you are going through any guilt about getting out in the sun. It's OK if you don't!
