I don't get it
There are many things I do not understand: why teenage boys wear shorts long enough to qualify as capri pants, why I know who Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton are, basic principles of chemistry, the appeal of scallops, etc, etc.
But here is what I really don't get: tanning salons in Tucson.
On my morning drive to swim practice and then work I counted three tanning salons. I won't harp on why tanning salons are bad (except, of course, to say that they are bad. Cancer is bad) but I find it puzzling that people would pay money to sit under fake UV radiation when it is so damned hot and sunny here that I can accidentally get a tan just getting from the parking lot into work. We're expected to get around 100 days with a temperature of at or near 100 degrees... getting a tan seems like it should be the least difficult part of living here in the summer. Maybe I am just cheap (okay, no maybe there) but I just don't get it.
