Everyone around here is freaking out because the region has gone thirty days without sunshine. To me it feels like home, and while the Washington Post is counting days with more than 70% cloud cover, those data for Portland are listing measurable precipitation. You can have a day without rain that is still not sunny (how's that for a dis-insperational quote). None of this is keeping me from engaging in the summertime hobby of self-tanning. Sunless.com is a frighteningly in-depth resource about all things self-tan. I'm particularly intrigued by the Mystic Tan, which takes the self-serve spray booth approach to self-tanning.
