This installment reminded me of a story my mother (named Hannah) used to tell about the first time her family went to Florida, around 70 years ago. Nobody back then had heard of sunscreen, and on the first day she fell asleep beside the motel pool and got the worst sunburn of her life (which is saying something; she and both her children burn very easily). To shorten the story, she had to remain indoors for the remainder of the vacation, and for the next three days couldn't even get out of the bed.
