An influx of great white shark sightings has residents and tourists worried about potential encounters in the water, especially during the heart of summer.

Senior Fisheries Biologist Dr. Greg Skomal told ABC News the increase in the great white shark population off the Massachusetts coastline is correlated to the gray seal population and that numbers are expected to rise even further.

Don’t sweat it, it’s as fake as a CNN “news” report with anonymous sources.

You're right. Just checked it out. Suppose I should have known. It, surprisingly, was a commercial for a Discovery Channel "Shark Week" documentary series. Didn't think the channel had that sort of 'off-beat' humor.

Re: how do you avoid interacting with those undesirables? It would seem like a man vacationing on Fire Island and trying to avoid the queers groping his crotch.

The Quebecers are much more annoying.

Did you mean QUEERbecers? Lol!

Yep - a bad case of gas....

Tasty though.

Little things that swim in the ocean are either bait for top tier predators ( man) or food for other denizens of the deep. bait....

Feed the hungry.

Actually, no, I don’t care about the sharks or the seals, much, nor , for that matter folks who decide to swim in the water with them.

Life is hard, it is harder when you swim with the food source.

Used to go to Old Orchard Beach.

To see a Quebecer on the sidewalk, in nothing but flip-flops and an electric blue Speedo, with enough body hair to carpet a living room, and then to realize It's a WOMAN!!!

There isn't enough eye bleach for that...

Off topic, but how do you avoid interacting with those undesirables? It would seem like a man vacationing on Fire Island and trying to avoid the queers groping his crotch.

I assure you, nobody I have run into there has ever tried to grope my crotch. In fact, almost everybody I've interacted with there has been very polite and friendly.

And while I am vehemently opposed to the gay mafia and its leftist political agenda, I don't have a problem being around people who are gay or lesbian. I've had many gay friends in the past, primarily because of work I've done with theater groups.

I've always found Provincetown to be fun, interesting and charming, and the tip of Cape Cod -- where the bay and the ocean meet -- is always beautiful and relaxing.

And nothing beats the feeling I get watching the sunsets over Cape Cod Bay from the deck of my favorite motel right on the beach, sipping a cocktail and listening to Patti Page's recording of "Old Cape Cod."

The little sea anchors on the coat are a nice touch.

Maybe they’re less aggressive there than in Asbury Park.

My youngest brother was homosexual, but I only found out after his death at 41 of an unspecified disease. The same with a fellow with whom I worked for a few years, I never knew. Bottom line, I don’t need to or want to know. But so many of them feel obligated to shove it in your face.

Same with progressives...I don’t want to know.
