Actually, I think its more of a cultural thing with the expectation of women needing to maintain their youthful appearance....and make up....lots of make up. I had friends who would not be seen without their face being made up. And that was in high school. Also, most people spend waaaay too much time in the sun, and that really takes a toll on your skin after 35-40+ years, humidity be d*mned. I saw plenty of women who appeared youthful (or at least their age) in the face, but if they wore a low cut top, their neck and upper chest looked like beef jerky. Thinking on women I have come across in Montana, and they typically do look older than they really are. But I think its just as much about tending to go for a more natural look as it is the dry air and higher UV radiation. All this sun damage talk reminds me I need to get in to see a dermatologist. I absolutely hated wearing sunscreen, and would not put any on until after I had endured a pretty severe sunburn or 2. This was an every summer thing. By the end of summer I could pass for native american or hispanic because my skin would be so dark.

Wonder how he feels about Willie Brown.

The next 2 days will be the hottest of this heat wave. Not going to be nail biters to get a 100 like these past few days for PDX. Then cooler weather arrives midweek.

He was on the balcony with Biden for the 4th of July fireworks. Hopefully Joe didn't catch it!
