    No. White people who tan tend to have rawhide for skin by age 40, and the lines of someone who is 55. There’s no lure for that life, even if skin cancer wasn’t a risk.

    My partner is a redhead. The man does not own or wear shorts, no matter how hot it is. Long sleeves in the sun. Took his shirt off in the yard on a hot summer night, after the sun went down, and moths flew into his chest.

    But he looks younger than he is, not older.

      So pale that he started reflecting the moon light

      Yes. Many people in the world are born with a natural tan. I’m not talking about white people getting too much sun in the first paragraph.
