When we were young we worshipped the sun and could never get enough "Rays".  "Catching Rays" with a reflector while coated with iodine laced baby oil was de rigueur. 

The above picture is representative of my "Chocolate Man" period. 

However, as the years passed (and the ozone layer burned away) baby oil morphed into sun screen as the sun began to sizzle my skin and now I am beginning to have empathy for and commiserate with the people. of the night

No wonder my Halloween costume has become Count Dracula.

I remember my mom used to sit in the backyard all summer long with the reflectors and baby oil.

Yes, I was never so organized as to have reflectors, but I played in both Southern California and hot Georgia sun and now have the scars on my nose and cheeks to show for it.
