hey sunstroke

i went out on a job the other day & spent a bazillion hours under the sun. felt like shit in the afternoon, woke up lobster-colored the next day, had to stick to cold showers for a week, and peeled off subsequently. now im tanned, redneck-style.

question for you though is: have you considered a gradual acclimation to the sunlight?

i knew this scottish guy who would roast like a pig at the beach, he was white as motherfucking paper, a quasi-albino, and you might be like that.

however-- have you tried a slight and gradually increased exposure to sunlight? i'm thinking you might be getting too brutal an exposure when you finally get out of your cavern, and maybe all you need is a little acclimation.
