The landlord [1] has taken another victim, a Triathelete was killed this morning in North County San Diego. Sincere condolences to the family.
While San Diegans search for the “killer shark” [2] the rest of the nation looks on with morbid curiousity [3].
If you regularly surf, swim, sail or dive in the ocean off california than you have undoubtedly been close to one of these incredible animals in your time in the water. Sitting on your board, quiet, and you know you are not alone. They are not just a northern california resident, as whites range great distances, just like their prey.

Afraid to get in the water? Don’t be ridiculous, Muni is more dangerous than a great white.
