Thoughts: 04-August-2009

Another short entry as I get closer to riding Amtrack down to PA.

Last night I watched Blood in the Water (Discovery Channel) which was a documentary about the shark attacks that occurred during July 1916 off the New Jersey Shore. These attacks were the inspiration for the novel and later film Jaws. This was a very good and well done film with very realistic reenactments of the attacks. Excellent effects.

The film played a bit like a historical documentary of the Jack the Ripper murders. Each victim was named and the attack was recreated. Five people were attacked and only the last one survived. Loss of Blood and the inability to treat the wounds properly was while some of the folks died.

If you have a chance to watch this, do it. One of the best things I have seen on TV. A rating all around.

Oh well.
