summer safety

my father forwarded me a tip sheet on 'summer safety on the water' that he received from his company's HR department.

Very diligent of them. Perhaps my HR department should have done the same, preventing much of the debauchery that was had this past weekend at the cottage. Might have...highly unlikely. I am pretty sure that even after reading it, it wouldn't have prevented:

- Drinking copious amounts of keg beer before swimming across the lake (with beer in hand) to another cottage
- Tubing while drinking (beer not in hand for this one)
- Engaging in water sports while drunk and near serious rock hazards

Nor would any tip sheet have prevented the other things that I apparently did but am having trouble remembering.

I believe I have completely surpassed the age where I accept advice, where I should know better, and have pretty much retreated back to a maturity level where basically you have to flat out tell me no and even then sheer obstinence may still win out.

and I didn't even wear all that much sunscreen either..and once the redness disapears..i will look fabulous.
