Peter Benchley, whose book "Jaws" scared a whole generation from swimming after dark, died today. http://today.reuters.com/news/newsAr...archived=False Best line in the movie "We need a bigger boat!" I got as far as the first girl the shark gets at the beginning of the movie. When she started bobbing up and down like the bobber on my fishing line, I left the room and have never seen any more. I live on a river that has visibility of about 4" under water. I wasn't going to watch that movie or I wouldn't have ever gotten in the water, again, even though I know! Illinois has no sharks. Can't stand snakes in movies either. Tom G. Last summer, the NY DEC captured a 4 foot long gator in the Cohocton River, about an hour south of Rochester. They said it was big enough to be "troublesome". Troublesome. Right. I was wading in that river with a fishing pole a week before the story hit the news. They said the owner didn't realize his two crocs would get so big, so he let them go. They didn't find #2, but said it would not survive the winter. Probably. |
