Hints from the Huntingtons, Sr. and Jr.

[My dad and I perform these experiments so you don't have to...]

[DON'T use SPF 50 sunscreen not intended for the face on your face. It will drip into your eyes and cause such searing pain that you will have significant difficulty guiding your wife's/mom's hot red convertible thru the Santa Cruz Mountains back to I-280 and thus back to San Francisco so you can lie in a darkened room with a cold washcloth over said ruined, burning eyes and vow never to go outside during daylight ever again.]

[Now you know. Of such stuff is father-son bonding made. OW!]

[Also learned on this trip: I can Name That Tune (in this case, "A Horse With No Name" by America) in less than three chords, even when performed by a woefully undertalented hippie entertaining the local yokels as they (and we, the glamorous out-of-towners) munched tri-tip sandwiches on a lawn in Pescadero, California. I can even do it while my eyes are stinging. Maybe especially then, since I was already attuned to maximum misery.]
