I ran into the dollar store yesterday, and on the way out I saw a huge display of suntan lotion. I swear there was a beam of light from the heavens shining down on the display and a chorus of angels singing. The clean, shiny containers of suntan lotion with their blue cap hats were lined up perfectly and beckoned joyously. Sunny days are coming! Sunny Days are coming.

If you don’t live in Wyoming you may think I am crazy. After this long snowy winter, however, a bottle of suntan lotion almost brings tears of joy.
