    Shark attack in San Diego this morning

    A swimmer was killed this morning in Solana Beach. It's big news right now.

    Very scary. I was diving at the time a few miles away in La Jolla at the time, coincidentally.

    Have they confirmed the type of shark it was?
    There are 3 types of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can´t.

    Looks like the year is starting out pretty bad - two deaths within a couple of months. my thoughts are with the family. swimming in the ocean always freaks me out although I don't mind diving with all kinds of sharks.

    We are supposed to dive La Jolla tomorrow, my friends wife said they closed the beaches. Does anybody know anything on this? I don't want to drive there if the beaches are closed.

    I think La Jolla's open....

    From the O.C. Register:

    Lifeguards closed beaches in Solana Beach and Encinitas after the attack.

    So far, however, no San Diego beaches have been closed, San Diego lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma said. “It happened a significant distance from us, so we're sort of status quo,” Lerma said.

    I was interviewed by KNX about this. Hope I sounded like I actually knew something. So sad for the family and friends.

    Dr. Bill: Not THAT kind of doctor... but I'll take a look at it anyway!
