So am I.

The last time I lay in the hammock and got some hot sun on my ol'
creaking bones was early October. That's been nearly 5 months, no wonder
my skin is all pale and pasty.

The UV & sun strength should start shooting up once we get into March.
Could even get a UV Index of 5 by the end of the next month.
