Few Things

We didn't do anything terribly exciting yesterday, so there's not much to write about on that front. I took Bandit to the park after work, and just fed him lots of treats while we watched all the kids playing. He woofed a few times, but other than that, he did okay. The Gentle Leader seemed to help too.

Warning: ranting ahead...

I was reading yesterday about how a man was killed in Australia by a shark while surfing. The article was talking about how his brother was trying to get the authorities to not kill the shark that did it. Now see, I don't get that. Why the hell would these people want to kill that shark? That pisses me off to no end. It's not like another shark in the same situation wouldn't have done the same thing. The one that killed the guy isn't some kind of rogue shark - it's a shark, for crying out loud! You go in the water and you paddle around looking like a goddamn otter, what the hell do you think a shark is gonna do? At least the brother seems to understand that. I swear, I hate people sometimes.

It's like mountain lion attacks too - well, hello, we've encroached so far on their habitat, where do you expect them to go? Maybe we could just stop hiking there - or you know, accept that sometimes when we do things, we take risks, kind of along the lines of swimming in shark-infested waters.

The shark article also has a mention about how the populations of smaller sharks are being decimated by Asian fishermen who catch the sharks, cut off their fins, and then throw them back into the water to die. Which is why I haven't had sharks' fin soup in years now, and I wish people would stop serving/buying it.

People suck. I can't stand the way we rape this planet.

Okay, end of rant.

So on a more light-hearted note, here's an funny EBay auction. Hmm, I wonder if a slightly used Rav4 would buy a decent boob job? ;)

My coworker, Peter, sent me this video of police chasing this guy in a Mustang. It's pretty cool, that guy could drive!
