As a denizen of a southeastern state, a Boomer who spent much of her life in the sun, vitamin D deficiency wasn’t something I had to worry about. As a result, I took the advantages of copious sunlight for granted. It was only much later that I learned that those folks who lived in more northerly climes ran the risk of being deficient and it wasn’t until the use of sunscreen would basically turn one into an equivalent Yankee(😉). The Alzheimer’s/ Vitamin D study is interesting and I hope in these days of scientific disruption it can be followed up on. We’ve always been told that the sun is the source of life. Funny how we’re finally starting to discover the truth of it. As for the over exposure to the sun, blonds, redheads and the fair skinned run big risks getting too much sunshine but the last I read, 15 minutes of exposure will give you enough. Kind of plays havoc with the golf though.

Prison to Pardons to Payouts: Jan. 6 Rioters Are Elated at Trump’s $1.8 Billion Fund
“The possibility that people who ransacked the Capitol could get money from the government they attacked is the latest head-spinning twist in President Trump’s effort to rewrite the history of Jan. 6.”
Living in a northern climate, I have taken Vitamin D caplets for years. As a teen back in the 70's, we loaded up on sunshine in our bikinis beside the pool. I am waiting for skin cancer to pop out one of these years, but am lucky to be one who tans more than burns.
Thanks Bill. Though had you written a day earlier I might have avoided a bit too much sun yesterday. Though likely not. To my credit though I only spent a small bit of one day actually getting sun on Waikīkī during a two week Hawai’i visit. 😎

I continue to be in disbelief what is happening in this country! No one will pull in the reins!
