Shark Week- Predator in the Panhandle

Very interesting show on Discovery AGAIN this week. The team spent 12 days on a boat (I think in Africa) to monitor and study the Great White.


The team actually swam OUT of the cage and photographed/video'ed the Great Whites. One very courageous/insane handler actually took a ride on a few of them; grabbed on to the dorsal fin and went for a ride....... Any one else watch that....????

The other morning, when crossing Hwy 98 (I had the green light), I looked both left and right, then left again, and saw a young lady driving a minivan at 65+mph (my guess) in a 45 mph zone (AND SHE HAD A RED LIGHT) and didn't look like she was going to stop, so I waited. Good thing I did because she just looked at me like when I tooted the horn and extended my middle finger while pointing at the redlight. Forget shark bites/attacks. I will take my chances with the risk of shark bites over the risks of riding on the hwy in this town. At least when I am on the water, there is little risk of getting ran over by a stupid driver who is out to kill someone with their vehicle. I wish that I had a rocket launcher on my car that could shoot rotten eggs at rotten drivers.

Sharks may scare me sometimes (only from watching the movie JAWS too many times as a small kid), but people scare the living crap out of me almost every day on the road.

No, but sarafunn made me watch the show on Friday night...Sharks Having Sex. It was all about stalking the grey shark to see how it mates. Something I do not care to see again.

SJ...I am glad you still look both ways before crossing the street. That was a close call.

One of my favorite bartenders said that she got bumped twice on the leg, by a shark near the second sandbar at Grayton on her daily swim, two days ago.

Statistically, I think we are one step closer to be due for a shark bite. This morning's news announced that someone in Valdosta, GA was struck by lightning.
