I Think It's Time For Me To Stop Using Plastic.

Yeah I know, plastic is used in everything so I probably won't be able to get away from it completely. But I'm going to give it a try (that's "give it a go" for my UK readers).

Hello, Mr. Big Teeth!

Hi There. This Is The Orange County Sheriffs Department. Get The F*ck Out Of The Water! You're Surrounded By Sharks.

Of course they didn't say it in such a crude manner.
“Attention in the water, this is the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. Be advised, State Parks is asking us to make an announcement to let you know that you are paddleboarding next to approximately 15 great white sharks. They are advising that you exit the water in a…uh…calm manner. The sharks are as close as the surf line. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Aw, so cute. Can I paddle next to him?

The long version.

More sightings.

Great advice.

Fly The Friendly Skies Of United.

How United used to treat paying paying passengers.

How they treat them now.

Boy have times changed. Not only do they make you buy food, give you smaller seats, now you can be assaulted, bloodied, and knocked out for not wanting to give up a seat that you paid for.

Fish On Fridays. Hello, Mr. Big Teeth!

Shark breaks into cage a says hello to a diver. You knew this was going to eventually happen .

From Gabe and Garret:

On a recent great white shark cage diving trip we experienced a very rare event, a shark breaching the side of the cage. What might appear to be an aggressive great white shark trying to attack the cage, this is not the case. These awesome sharks are biting at large chunks of tuna tied to a rope. When a great white shark lunges and bites something, it is temporarily blinded. They also cannot swim backwards. So this shark lunged at the bait, accidentally hit the side of the cage, was most likely confused and not able to swim backwards, it thrust forward and broke the metal rail of the cage. There was a single diver inside the cage. He ended up outside the bottom of the cage, looking down on two great white sharks. The diver is a very experienced dive instructor, remained calm, and when the shark thrashed back outside the cage, the diver calmly swam back up and climbed out completely uninjured. The boat crew did an outstanding job, lifting the top of the cage, analyzing the frenzied situation, and the shark was out after a few long seconds. Everyone on the boat returned to the cages the next day, realizing this was a very rare event. The boat owner, captain, and crew are to be commended for making what could've been a tragic event into a happy ending. I'm sure God and luck had a bit to do with it too!

The largest cruise ship in the world - three times longer than the height of Big Ben (talk about windage!) - has arrived in Southampton after its maiden voyage.
Harmony, really? Somehow a giant floating box doesn't conjure up the image of harmony in my mind. But that's just me, and what do I know? Not much. 

Ah, yes, cruising the big blue with 6,410 guests and a crew of 2,100. We are all harmoniously humming "om," until we elbow our way for a place next to the pool.

I wonder how long I will have to wait in line to take the launch to shore so I can buy a tee-shirt or a coffee mug that says "Barcelona" on it? Mind you, the ship does have a 10 storey waterslide. That's fantastic!

I can't wait to book my cruise, can you?
