I have an agreement with sharks. I don’t go in their water if they don’t come down my street. Of course a sharknado could change all of that.

On the same hike where I found the shark tooth, I walked to a hill top where you could overlook the city of Denver. I looked down at my feet, and found a quarter dated 1898. I always imagine someone in 1898 walking up that same hill, looking over Denver, and then wondering where his quarter went.

I’ve eaten enough shark over the years that it would only be fair.

I have no intention of being fair.

You should have been an archaeologist.

In 1898, in Denver, a quarter would probably get you meals for a couple days and a place to stay.

The front range in Colorado seems to have been a migration path for dinosaurs walking along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. I was hiking in a place in the front range and stopped at a ledge overlooking a valley below. On a rock in front of me I saw a dent which collected rain water, and had a puddle of water in it. Then I saw another like it. Then I realized they weren't just dents in the rock, they were footprints. I found two more, and realized that if we were standing here enjoying the view at the same time, I would be directly underneath a big sauropod.

Bull sharks can live in fresh water and travel far up rivers. Attacks have occured in rivers.

“This does not address sharknados though.”

Finally, something that unites all Americans.

Woman on their period should not enter the ocean if there is a danger of sharks. This is something I heard from the lifeguards in Hawaii, who all know this bit of folk-wisdom.
