It's confirmed, I am indeed the whitest person on the planet. Yesterday I spent my lunch at the park for an hour and then had to plant some flowers here at the office. I was outside for a grand total of 2 hours most of which wasn't even really in the sun. I now have a horrific sunburn on my entire right arm. Pink enough that it's very hot to the touch.
For someone who shuns the sun, as is my motto, I certainly have a way of managing to get the nastiest of sunburns.
On the bright side I suppose this signals the beginning of the summer season for which I can't feel sorry.

The whitest person on the planet

You need either a lightweight poncho and hat or sunblock in your car to avoid such sun emergencies.
A lightweight poncho? I'm just not sure I can stand for this sort of madness.
I put sunblock on my bald head, face, neck etc every morning before I leave the house. The walk from the house to the car is enough to get me a little red. I must protect my Dutch-Germany whiteness at all costs.
The sad thing is that Dana is not joking about the lightweight poncho. I seem to recall a trip to the Seven Peaks with Dana when she was covered from head to toe is some sort of ensemble. I also remember that there was a 90ish year old Indian lady (from Indian) who was clothed very similarly to Dana at the Seven Peaks. All you could see of both of them was pretty much their face and even that was obscured by the shadows that the huge floppy hat cast on their faces. It was not normal.
And I meant to say "from India"
I would also like to point out that the cute Grandma from India and I were probably the only two people who left that day without sun damage.
