[#0000FF]Lloyd is "older" and fair-skinned. The sun do not like him. He is still recovering from several "precancerous" spots that were just removed from his face and arms.
Been there and done that my ownself. Had several scaly patches zapped off my arms the end of June. In our youth we did not have the benefit of the knowledge...and the sunscreen...that we have today. There is no excuse for sun abuse these days but some folks just assume they will live forever and that common sense does not apply to them. You can read their names on tombstones.
I was made a believer when I lost a close friend who was younger than I am. He owned a guide service on the Kenai River in Alaska and chose to ignore the scaly patches on his ears until the "season" was over. After closing up the operation for the winter he grudgingly allowed his wife to take him in for a looksee. He was dead of melanoma before the next season began.
