Taking A Walk

by Dwayne Phillips

I am walking in a south westerly direction each day. I don’t walk north and I don’t walk east.  The sun hits my in the back and on my left side in the morning. The sun gradually moves around to hit my face and right side in the afternoons. Maybe someone who knows much more than I about the position and path of the sun at this latitude and this time of year can comment and explain how all this works.

I have been walking about three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. That is pretty even by my reckoning.

But something isn’t working. The left side of my neck and face is two shades darker than the right side. This doesn’t look good in the mirror.

I am searching for solutions. My first thought is to put a triple coating of sun screen on my left side. Ick. Maybe I can hang a bandanna on my left side as a curtain. I don’t like the look of that, but if it works I can live with it.
