Seriously kids, you’re not invincible. Protect your skin. I never sunburn, so I was always shirtless with no sunscreen when doing outside work.
Until my early 30s when the doc had to take a 1x3in sstrip off my back because the pre-cancerous 8mm punch biopsy didn’t have clean edges.

I’m reasonably confident that it’s only a matter of time before one metastasizes before I catch it.
