AN ALBINO PEACOCK

I don't know. I know albinos exist in animals as well as humans. Now as far as birds go, well I don't know.

I also don't understand pigment and tanning. Some dark complected people can't tan for squat. Brown eyes, dark brown hair and they are pale no matter how much sun time they log.

Then some blondes have stunning dark tans. Go figure. Our daughter had a friend in junior high, a redhead, who tanned the same color as her hair. Her brother did, too. When you looked at them, they were blended so well that they almost looked ghost-like. That is red ghosts.

Some married folks, at least one of my brother and sister-in-laws tan the same color. She as dark as anyone, he a blonde from near Canada originally. I wonder if they tanned just alike before they were married. Who could know?

As for me, I'm George Hamilton dark. But I wasn't so much as a kid. I used to think I sweated it off playing outside so much in the SoIl sun. But I was under that same sun as an adult swimmer and golfer. So again, go figure.

Albino birds? I don't know, but that peacock got me thinking about tanning on the first day of Autumn. I think I'll take my 15-sunscreened lathered up face outside and catch another ray or two. I don't want George to get ahead of me.
