Becoming fish bait on Christmas Eve is not the way I wish to go.

I think I would want to forgo that death even when it was NOT Christmas!

Make your profile look like an Orca and the great white will disappear. The Orca like their livers.

“The really scary part is if sharks discover people taste better than seals.”

I used to clam in the waters off Pismo Beach when I was young, and we would occasionally see sharks in the water around us. But very seldom did they have a shark attack. Only a few species of shark are dangerous to humans. Out of more than 480 shark species, only three are responsible for two-digit numbers of fatal unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger and bull. The bull being the most aggressive and can move into fresh water for lengths of time. And, of course it also depends upon the definition of unprovoked. You could say the same about a human shooting a deer for food as I don’t believe the sharks have a wall of human heads on it.

When the state of California placed the seals under protection from human hunts, they rang the dinner bell. Surfing became a more serious problem with attacks and let’s face it, there is no candy gram shark on land. So when surfers go out in dark wet suits, and float on the water outside the surf line, occasionally among seals, they are presenting a one course meal as they don’t move as fast as the seals. Sharks just do what’s natural.

“A little shakin’, a little tenderizin’, an down ya go.” They’ve been doing it for, basically, 450 millions years. Nothing new here except the state will try to find the shark, which is virtually impossible now, and kill it. But they’ll find one to blame so they can justify their stupidity.

My paternal grandmother died on Christmas Day 1955 and paternal grandfather died one week later on New Years Day 1956.

That’s sad. We never know.

My Dad called his step-mother to notify her that his wife had just died and his step-mother (his mother had died in the Spanish flu in 1919) died of a stroke while they were on the phone.

I believe it. Grief/stress can definitely do it. Look up “Takotsubo syndrome”.

I always say that a Surfer AKA Seal is like a Triscuit Snack Cracker.
