Burned


The dangers of prolonged exposure to the force of the sun have been extensively documented. This picture of last Wednesday’s encounter in the Philippines cannot emphasize any stronger the need to cover up, especially for those of us frequently traveling by motorbike.
Long puzzled, I finally understood the meaning of the traditional Chinese Proverb ‘Driving Like a Roasted Pig’.
One picture says more than a thousand health warnings and I, for one, will certainly heed this.

As for you, another warning could be appropriate: Don’t take everything I write at face value.

You may get burned too.

Not Here Anymore Not Quite There Yet.
