Shark Attack

I was reading an article a few days ago about the shark attack capital of the world. Turns out that its my home, freaky. I knew about shark attacks in my area but I didn't know we were the deadliest. That won't deter me from surfing. Here's the article: Shark Attack Capital.

Now what may deter me a little bit is that I am in California right now for a trip and somebody just got killed by a shark today @ Solana Beach. News travels fast especially since it was a shark attack. I heard it within a couple of hours after it happened. It's about 50-60 miles from where I am but I was going futher towards southern California this weekend to surf a little bit. Sharks tend not to be fatal, it's just a what you call a miscommunication with real food and the one that they usually do not eat. Regardless, who are we to tell what they can and can't eat. It's a risk all of us has to take whenever we go out in the water. And it's an uncommon risk, but when it happens, it's big.

I'd like to send my condolences out to the family and friends of the man who lost his life today. Everybody, be safe & have a lifqual day.
