For all practical purposes, summer is over. If you don’t believe me, check your thermometer. Mine is heading to a predicted high of 98° although with the heat index it feels even hotter. That’s fall, right? Here, school starts tomorrow. That’s fall, right?
And yet Labor Day is weeks away. There’s still time for a trip or two to the beach or the lake – which is what this little European cartoon is all about. It really isn’t a PSA, and despite being an animated feature, it’s not for kids. But in a rather hilarious way it definitely makes its point: even now, with summer basically over (even though it just began six weeks ago), the sun is still very powerful. Sunburn is still a possibility, even with school in session and temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. How crazy is that? It’s still a good idea to apply sunscreen liberally if you’re outside – unless you prefer grill marks as a statement of style.
