4. That is EXACTLY where I was going.
I think I met her at the Hole in the Wall on Harry Hines Blvd in Dallas a few years ago.

3. Humans have really wreaked havoc
on the shark population. I wish people would stop hunting them.

5. What an abomination to kill such a magnificent animal
just to hang it on a dock for entertainment value. This kind of thing happens way too often.

9. I agree.

In over 100 open ocean dives, I dove with sharks more than 50% of the time. Everything from black tips and reef sharks to lemon sharks and some others not so close and identifiable. Pelagics are fascinating.

In all those dives, I never felt the slightest antipathy and animosity ... to the level I've encountered in MANY human endeavors. At the same time, I didn't try to climb into the food chain with the presumption I had a 'reserved' space at the top.

10's of thousands of fish, porpoise , manatee,grouper, all sorts of fish ..and shark were floating in our water dead last year..one needed a mask to protect ourselves from the stink and cough from the dead fish ...and it went on for 9 months!

oh and bushy was going to remove manatee from the endanger list if it hadn't been for many of us dems fighting to keep them on it!!

12. This is why I keep a .357 in my tackle box.


After seeing that picture, I'm thinking .44 mag now, maybe S&W .500.
