Are you a fan of Shark Week?

&nbsp;

My sister and I have been watching since its inception.  I just Googled to find out when the heck that was, and I learned <strong><a href="http://www.newser.com/story/97045/5-fun-facts-about-shark-week.html" target="_blank">it all began in the summer of 1987</a></strong>.  Which is the summer following my high school graduation.  Ahem.  Moving right along...

&nbsp;

I have always been a fool for nature shows, and Shark Week has a particular appeal.  Maybe it's because I was forbidden (too young) to see Jaws when it was released in the theaters.  I have vivid of memories of my mother REFUSING to go into the water at the beach house all summer.  Even though the house was on Little Peconic Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean.  The bay is too warm for Great Whites.

&nbsp;

(It is not, however, too warm for sand sharks.)
