Beware Summers With Shark Stories In The News

Do you guys remember the last time it was a "slow summer" and there seemed to be so many stories about sharks in the news? It was the summer of Chandra Levy and Gary Conditt and then WHAM September 11th happened.

Sharknado 1 and 2, Shark week, shark attacks-beware everyone. It makes for great diversionary tactics. It was 13 years ago almost to the day when Bush ignored his PDB warning that AlQueda would strike inside the US. Hopefully though we have better people watching for that stuff and not just taking vacations, cutting brush and playing golf every day.
Just a little historical warning...
