Shark Week

     I don't know about you, but I am a MAJOR fan of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Every year around when kids are about to go back to school, the week of the fish begins.
     Now, if you haven't watched it before, Shark Week includes stories of shark attacks, bites, but also their behavior and educational shows.
     But, it's the feeding frenzy stories that stick with me. Of course, they to teach viewers about the tips and hints about how to avoid shark bites: punch their gills, eyes and kick.
     It's still the shark attacks that stick with me. Swimmers give their accounts of getting arms, legs and flesh being torn off. Some stories are inspirational, others an hour of intense drama as they recount the day they faced Jaws, but overall they're just amazing stories. I think these shows spark the interest in viewers that stories like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea did, an interest in the unknown and unimaginable.
     I thank God I've never faced an up-close shark situation like the ones they show during Shark Week, but I still enjoy watching stories about the elusive deep-sea creatures.
