WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN

I hope all of you guys took advantage of the sunscreen deals using MQ's and TQ's. Seriously, I am always telling everyone to put their sunscreen on. My kids tell me "Put Your Sunscreen On" is going to be on my gravestone!

I found this on the internet and it is an actual picture of a guy who is 69 years old who spent the better part of 30 years driving a big rig. Behold, the unfortunate case of a truck driver shown below. As anyone who’s ever gotten a gnarly sunburn on one arm can attest, the left side of our body—the one exposed to the sun when driving—is particularly vulnerable to UV rays. Still, we can only imagine Northwestern University researchers were beyond amazed to stumble upon this particular truck driver as a prime human specimen that exemplifies just how damaging these rays can be.
In this case, we can clearly see the contrast in exposure levels, not to mention the dramatically different results. How mind-blowing is this picture?




I hope this scares some of you (particularly the male species I live with) to put on your sunscreen. I know I don't want to look like that when I am 69 years old and believe me it isn't that far away!
