This reminds me of when I was in high school, and a friend of mine and I were laying out in the sun in the early summer. A car full of young guys drove by and yelled out "GET A TAN!!!!" We were pasty white at the time...but what did they think we were TRYING to do????

Where do all you people live for heavens sake??!!! I can't imagine that kind of thing going on in the mid-western town! Never have I experienced anything even remotely close to what you all have shared here - and I am saddened to think that so many of you can't walk your own streets without worry of other people! I guess I should be very thankful for the small town I live in...
