We hit the trails, my daughter & I. The weather’s hot & dry. Feels so arid. Yet we are grateful we are not inundated in clouds of wildfire smoke. I stop to slather on sunscreen. I hate sunscreen. Really do. And big hats. But both parents had skin cancers, altho both also died of other types of cancer. My maternal grandparents had little skin cancers, too, and my paternal grandpa died of lung & brain cancer. Now I have a mess of AKs, actinic keratoses, solar precancers.
