Some Lowell Dogs
Captured frequent flyer tickets to Kona this afternoon.
Got the Dear Old Dad Memorial Filing System back in
shape. Dad died two years ago. We were all amazed at how well organized
his accounting records were. So, I started the Dear Old Dad filing
system. So, after I go, folks can say "Gee, the old lady was
organized". Of course, some people like Carlton were born organized.
Working on something for the National Park of American
Samoa. The Shark Section contained this rather amusing paragraph:
We are quite fortunate not to have much of a “shark
problem” in American Samoa. Based on conversations with long-time
residents here, it appears that there have been very few shark attacks
in the Territory and probably no fatalities here in the past 30
years. The few injuries that have occurred were usually related
to fishing activities, and records from the hospital's Emergency
Medical Services concur with this. EMS has responded to only one
or two shark incidents in recent memory – one was a somewhat humorous
account of two fishermen trying to land a shark in their boat.
The first fisherman brought the shark up to the side of the boat
so that his partner could club it, but his partner missed. The
shark then reared up and bit the first fisherman, who then got mad
and clubbed his partner for missing the shark.
Last
Year a look back.
