It’s the dog days. The president is out playing Not-So-Innocents Abroad and we’re between binge seasons. The minute the last of those Thai soccer kids was out of the cave, I posted on FB, “Probably time for a shark attack.”
When it rains…
Today, in a rare double shark attack, two different swimmers were attacked within a five minute span, shutting down Fernandina Beach in Florida. (Florida is, hands down, the epicenter of hot shark on human action, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History’s International Shark Attack File database.)
Both of today’s victims are expected to recover. Still, the events in Florida today serve as a grim reminder: when the powerful prove venal and the world seems like it couldn’t get any crazier…
… there’s probably a shark attack coming.
