Sun block

Last night I had to head out just before 9pm. Before I went I caught a short ad on RTE for Prime Time, coming up later in the evening after the news. Apparently Prime Time was going to investigate the shortcomings of sun block.

I knew they weren't intentionally having us on, which was why I couldn't stop laughing to myself while I was on the road. For 45 minutes I was driving in conditions that were more like November than July with the wind, rain and dark clouds. It's been at least six weeks since we had a warm, rain-free day around here. The dangers of inadequate sun block are not high on the list of worries this summer.
