Sunburnt already...

[carlfoxmarten]

Well, it went from quite wet this last week straight to very sunny this weekend, and I just found out just how fast it was.

The indicator? My arms.

They're rather red right now, and the back of my neck is a little itchy.
(I just got a haircut to boot)

So now I have kind of red arms, with a white strip around my right wrist where I wear my watch.
(yes, I'm right-handed, but I wear my watch on my right wrist. I'm semi-ambidextrous)

I only just found out about this, so I don't know if it'll start hurting yet.

I just hope this lovely weather holds up for a while, it's more enjoyable than pouring rain, and plus I get the chance to take pictures!
(which I will be posting later, once I get enough of them cropped and scaled)

Whoops! Did you know that UV rays pass through water? So really, more severe burns tend to happen when people are out on cloudy days than on sunny days.

But it's hot and sunny here this weekend and may stay that way for a little while, so I've no doubt that you had it a couple days before us. We followed that beautiful sunny morning last Sunday back to Spokane.

Yes, I've heard about that from multiple sources.
(M.A.S.H. counts, right? =^.^=)
Fortunately it has not happened to me yet...

You should see our weather report!
It looks like we're going to be getting everything between sun and rain for the next few days, so I'm hoping rather hard that I won't have to contend with rain on the paper route.
(especially as Wednesday is the last day I'm also substituting for another carrier)

Though I'd rather follow the yellow brick road... =^.^=

I've heard. I'm planning to go to Mt Rainier at some point, so I'm hoping it will be relatively dry there someday. Oh, please, oh, please!

If you're planning on going there soon, I'd suggest packing at least a raincoat.
(according to this report, at least)

We will see how it looks on Thursday. The forcast at the beginning of the week said it would be dry, but partly cloudy.
