Skateboards and bike riding were a requirement for anyone who lived within a mile radius of the beach. To that end, we where always on the look out for a shark. Truth be told, we never saw a shark on any of the times that we played by the shore, but we sure wanted to see one and proclaim to others that we saw a shark!]]> For many years, my family lived roughly four blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Skateboards and bike riding were a requirement for anyone who lived within a mile radius of the beach. To that end, we where always on the look out for a shark. Truth be told, we never saw a shark on any of the times that we played by the shore, but we sure wanted to see one and proclaim to others that we saw a shark.

As such, as an adult who now lives many miles away from the Pacific Ocean, I found this article interesting. It states that researchers have suggested that due to the recession, there are fewer people hitting beaches on vacation, and by extension, fewer incidents of shark bites. At least the economy is not taking a bit into everything thes days!
