at California beaches: link to news. "Lucas Ransom, a 19-year-old student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was bodyboarding with friend Matthew Garcia off Surf Beach some 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles on Friday when the shark pulled him under the water. He resurfaced with his leg nearly severed amid what Garcia told The Associated Press was a wave of pure red." Horrible. Still in shock at the death of Fran Crippen.

  • Yeah, another tragic incident. I saw this on the news shortly after learning about Fran's untimely passing, which really made for a crappy Saturday to say the least. Two families are mourning a heart-breaking loss of life. Every time I hear of a shark attack like this, I cringe. I grew up swimming in the waters between Long Beach and San Diego. In all those years (I swam for hours almost daily between 1972 and 1976), I never saw any sharks, but I always wonder whether any saw me.
