    Skin Cancer treatment is big business here. You need to be really covered up and wear good UV block. You can get a mole and not realize it and before you know it you have a major case of skin cancer.

    A few years ago our congressman developed a mole on his head and without treatment it eventually ate his skull up and it spread into his brain. He died a horrible death.

    UV protection is serious stuff.
    So what are the odds of this being how I die?

    Sorry guys, god made me to walk this earth as I am, I can't wear the stuff.

    I've lived, working jobs that are outdoor related, as well as being a avid fisherman. My job of a marine technician, keeps me near water and sun for most of the year.

    I don't even burn anymore, I suck in the rays, and turn a mahogany brown, quite quickly. But I protect myself the best I can, when needed.

    Don't forget the floor vents, Tim. And the bee's.!!

    I'm not worried about dying...none of us gets out alive. I'd just like everyone to have a more pleasant, less painful time getting there.

    You know there's this way to die and that way to die and the unhealthful things we all do add up.

    Like a friend of mine used to say, when your number is up it's up. I used to say yea but you don't have to sneak to the front of the line. He wound up being T Boned in Tuscon riding his Harley and being dragged a block or so. Needless to say he ain't among the living.

    I'm not saying you have to deprive yourself and live in a shell but there are conservative things we can all do and still enjoy life.

    I remember not wearing enough sunscreen when I got to go swimming as a kid. You would think the pain, chills, and having your skin peel off would make it a one time occurrence. Nope!

    Funny you post this, NOT! I just got biopsy reports on three suspicious spots, fortunately for they were not cancerous. Had all the signs though.

    Scott,

    My sincere apologies for my inappropriate timing with the video humor.

    I'm very glad that your tests came back negative.

    I also do hope all is going well on the home front as I know it's a struggle.

    YOLO...

    you only live once.

    Make the best of it, have no regrets, then laugh at the face of death.

    Life is a journey.... Not a destination.

    Sun's out Guns out or so it's said, I have never been one to worry about the sun. I don'r remember ever getting a sunburn as a kid but now it seems the sun is different and I burn 3 or 4 times a year.
    I never used sunscreen but always liked suntan oil and generally was shirtless whenever possible. I get my first lesion removed April 23. So yeah, you young fellas out there cover up.
