We're drifting a little but I must concur with my friend Dave's comments.
I've lived over 70 of my 77 years right here in Tucson. As kids we routinely
went shirtless and shoe-less while outside and often suffered severe sunburns.
After graduating to driving cars without A/C, we drove with the windows down
and our left forearms on the door sills. As a consequence most of my
sun-damaged skin is on the left side. The slightest puncture or pressure can
cause bleeding under the skin and the tiniest abrasion tears off flaps of skin
I see my lovely dermatologist twice a year. Her much older prof of physics
husband suffers the same condition as I. She says that he often chides her
because dematology doesn't have a cure. She tells him that if she could come
up with one, she would be a billionaire. In the last few years after seeing
her, I get to visit her equally lovely partner who does Mohs surgery, to get
my Basil Cell turmors removed. Plastics aren't the only things that degrade
because of UV exposure.

Ted and all,
I also couldn’t resist sorting the data by county, but I was not at all
surprised by the results. Having lived for about 50 of my 77 years in
Arizona and New Mexico, I knew we had to be near the top of the list. I feel
it every day!!! Ironically, my early days of youth were spent in the
northwest, where the numbers are exactly the opposite! That’s why so many
people up north have that peachy-creamy skin, and down here we all look like
shoe leather! Here in the southwest we also develop a close relationship
with our dermatologists, or we darn well should! The good news is that
things don’t tend to rust here!!! Hi.
73,

Interesting to sort the list by UV flux data. Doing that for the 3107
entries, my QTH in Teller County, Colorado, at an average elevation of about
8500' and with 247 sunny days per year according to the tourist adsr, is
number 511. 53 of the 67 counties in Florida rank above it. I would not
have guessed that . . .
