Ahahaha!!! That’s SO funny!! “Last month”. See, you would think it would be a long time ago, but instead it’s just a month. HI-larious!!!
Wait a minute…. Hold on! Is this some sort of commentary on something happening right now?
It could be. I wonder what, though? Hmmmm………
😉
The revision has an odd, perhaps inconsistent, play of light and shadow, and skin tones. I had a tan on my right arm just like that when I used to drive a lot with the window open and my arm resting on the door. Good times down south… Not.
Hmm. I can see one arm being somewhat lighter—maybe it’s getting a bit more sun–but you’re right. That’s pretty extreme.
My worst sunburn was when I went to Hawaii several decades ago and drastically misjudged the effects of the sun–especially when you’re in that clear, clear Hawaiian water. (I thought being in the water would actually protect me a bit. Instead it apparently magnifies the sun’s rays.)
You’re right, John. I usually forget about the magnification properties of water at least once a year. I always get that “farmer’s tan” every summer, as well. Luckily, since a lot of other folks around here have it, I don’t stand out too much. One of these days I want to get one leg tanned more than the other and wear shorts. That would probably turn a few heads!
