Mississippi

Nice skin (not)

[today’s run: 3.5 miles]

I remember growing up, hearing the “who’s the fairest of them all” of Snow White, and various other hints that white, unmarked skin is a thing to be had.

I don’t see how that could ever happen in Mississippi.  I’ve got bug bites, fly bites,  sun burn, chigger bites, funky toe nails, peeling skin and I don’t even get out that much.

The one thing I can say is that I have very efficient pores: on a hot day I go outside and I feel like I’m a human lawn sprinkler, it just comes gushing out all over the place.
