True fact.

Something in the news reminded me.

In my family, I am the only known survivor of a shark attack.

It happened about twenty years ago, at Santa Monica pier in LA.

There's an aquarium under the pier, and in front there was an exhibit with a shark swimming around in its pool. Apparently the shark didn't like me at all, and after swimming back and forth repeatedly, it spat at me.

Such aggression from a foot-long shark...
