I just received notice that I won the Nigerian Lotto. I'm stoked, but I don't recall buying a ticket. If I am not at the next meeting, I'm off blowing my winnings.
Discovery Channel just finished shark week. There was some cool footage of breaching Great Whites. I was always puzzled why shark attack reports are labeled as "unprovoked". However, after watching researchers fooling with Bull Sharks and being chomped, I realized there actually are provoked attacks.
I wish they would show other sharks besides the "maneaters". An episode on Whale sharks or Basking sharks would be cool. At Beneath the Sea 2 years ago, there was a very well done documentary on Greenland Sharks that I would love to see on TV.
Summer is winding down and I hope everyone has had some opportunities to dive recently. If you have done anything or if interest, or if you have some old footage (photos/videos or other visual stimulus) that you would care to share, let us know.
We are planning a " FCDA Member's Present Night" in September and we need at least 3 brave souls.
Unfortunately, I just found out the Nigerian Lotto was a scam. Oh well, I'll have to go back to work and I'll see you all at the August meeting. Dr Hamilton will be our guest so I hope to see you all there.
Please remember about our plans for the September Meeting and if you would like to present, we need to know by September 1st. Additionally, it's almost time for Cape Ann.
See you all soon. "May the viz be good, may your tanks be full and may the current be at your back."….modified Irish prayer….
