Oh nice, I was wondering about wearing dark colors during the summer.

Are you kidding? if I don't get out in the sun more (and if the sun ever comes out more) I'm going to get rickets! ;)

Why do I have an ugly suspicion you get less rain in Seattle than here?

Maybe the heat wave and endless days of sun we're having?!

Well, the idea is to get sun, but not wrinkles, etc. I guess we do get a good amount of sun here -- I heard a report a couple months ago that Oregon and Washington lead the country in skin cancer occurrences :(

Yeah, that's because when it IS sunny we all rush outdoors screaming "Ohmygoshthecloudshavepartedmustbeoutdoors!". That and the fact that one doesn't get in the habit of buying, y'know, suncreen.

This heat is freaking me out - we really used to have months like this?
