For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 26, 2012

I git that there tan from riding my motorsickle. On both arms.

When I was Michael’s age I never packed for a trip; my mom always selected the things I needed for the trip.

Oh, sure! Liz will make a great first impression with that information!

Farmer’s tan. I haz it.

Hey, don’t complain about the “Farmer/Fat Man” tan … I have a tan on my head, neck, and arms (from fingers to 2" above my elbows), and legs (around the knees to the sock line.)

I’m a cyclist, which give me NO room to comment on other’s tan lines!

And Liz is thinking “Wow, my relatives are rednecks!”

I always enjoy your references to Lynn’s notes. It’s like a “backstage” pass. :)

Here in Iowa its called a “farmers tan”. I usually get it on the left arm only while driving. A number of years ago I got a sun burn on the top of my head with the sun roof open. It even more likely now that there is less hair up there

I’ve got the same tan from doing all the mowing! 2" above elbow to hand and 4" above knee to ankles. Looks really strange when I have a bathing suit on. :)

That’s how I get sunburned. I’m real light skinned.
